What if the guy from smashing pumkins lost his car keys-steven lynch
Where the f*** are my car keys
They were right here in my hand
I had them just a second ago
Did I leave them in the kitchen
Or underneath the cusions of the
couch
I can't find them anywhere

This story seems to have been blown way out of porportion. Billy has been talking to the crowd after each of his shows. People were yelling stupid stuff during his post-show speech, so he dropped the mic and left. That's pretty different than "storming off stage."

Billy Corgan is so bitchy. wtf, the fans asked him to play Pumpkins songs. big frickin deal. if they thought he sucked, why would they pay to see him? He has to accept the reality that a big reason why people like him is Smashing Pumpkins. Part of having fans is indulging them once in awhile.

popcorn, yeah I do, and Zwan was the bastard child Billy should never have had.
It wasnt TERRIBLE, but compared with the Pumpkins stuff it wasnt up to par.
I actually like Corgan, liked ,or should I now be saying Like? the Pumpkins.
But he certaintly has the tendency to seem like a diva. I think he MIGHT be thinking to much about himself.
Goodtimes.

BILLY CORGAN PLAYS ACOUSTIC GIG
BILLY CORGAN played an intimate ‘stripped back’ acoustic show in SYDNEY last night (July 28), with a set including one track from post-SMASHING PUMPKINS project ZWAN, plus rarities and songs from his debut solo album ‘THEFUTUREEMBRACE’.
As previously reported on NME.COM, the show was officially announced with just 12 hours notice – however, fans were tipped off by Corgan during a earlier Sydney gig, with a handful heading straight to The Marquee Club in Camperdown to queue overnight for the tickets.
Beginning with a cover of the Bee Gee’s classic ‘To Love Somebody’, the show before 400 fans consisted of two hour-long sets, with a jovial Corgan playing acoustically for the most part and occasionally backed by three members of his touring band. Admitting he’d “never played these songs acoustic before”, the star covered tracks including Slim Harpo’s 1957 hit ‘I’m A King Bee’ and AC/DC’s ’Long Way To The Top’, while incorporating The Doors’ ’Riders On The Storm’ and Split Enz ‘I Got You’ into other songs, and also playing rare live version of Zwantrack ‘Died Of A Broken Heart’.
The setlist for the show at Sydney’s Marquee Club was as follows:
’To Love Somebody’
’DIA’
’Now (And Then)’
’The Camera Eye’
’I’m A King Bee’
’A100’
’Walking Shade’
’Pretty, Pretty Star’
’Bit 5’
’Mina Loy (M.O.H.)’
’I’m Ready’
’SET 2’
’Prairie Song’
’Straight Down The Line’
’Friends As Lovers Lovers As Friends’
’For Your Love’
’Riverview’
’Top Of The World’
’Joanna’
’Long Way To The Top’
‘Died Of A Broken Heart’
’You Were Mine’

A Zwan song?!?! Can 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings' be far behind?

John Lydon in 1987 warning the lunkheads at the Hollywood Palladium to quit throwing garbage at him beacuse he wanted to do PiL songs instead of Sex Pistols songs. The dumbbells wouldn't stop, so he finally stormed off the stage, and returned ten minutes later to do "Pretty Vacant". (Hah???)
Darby Crash did a walk-off when the PA was turned off in the middle of the Germs set, never to return (Halloween 1978 at The Hollywood Roosevelt). The Germs continued their set without him doing instrumental renditions of their songs. Needless to say, it was the best Germs set I ever saw. (SACRILEGE!!)
