This would/will level up Uwe's lo picking on Dave regarding finishes' influence on sound.   ;D It's been a long time since I saw him here so I guess he's still very busy.

Yes, Uwe has got a lot going on right now.

Now if we can somehow tie Corgan's views to Blackmore, maybe he'll return sooner than expected.  ;D

That just happened to be easy:

https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6398428/10-things-billy-corgan-reddit-ama

3. A dream collaboration of his that hasn’t happened yet -- working with one of Deep Purple's founding members. “I would be thrilled to work with Ritchie Blackmore.”

I should have known! Hopefully Ritchie doesn't feel the same way.

As a singer, I think of him as the Dave Mustaine of "alternative rock".

Dave Mustaine had a LOT of talent once upon a time. Billy Corgan's best effort was writing Hole's "Live Through This" (he had to pay SOME penance for banging Courtney Love while she was married to Cobain) and having MTV grunge hipsters fawn over his mostly garbage music. There are a couple of bright spots that don't annoy me terribly and the meathead right-wing politics fit, but jeeze, Dave used to be a somewhat OK guy.  ...and his snarl had purpose and fit the music perfectly. Corgan just sounds like an elephant got a kazoo stuck in its ass and had a bad gas attack.
