Billy Corgan Compares New Music Artists To Strippers

According to The Pulse Of Radio, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan blasted the current state of the music industry and alternative rock on Monday (March 12) in an interview conducted by author Brian Solis at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas.

Corgan explained, "Artists that break through now have grown up thinking that being famous is the goal. Not to be respected. Not to be dangerous." But, he warned, "Once you make that deal you're just the fresh stripper."

The Smashing Pumpkins are still at work on their massive, 44-song epic "Teargarden By Kaleidyscope", but will release 11 or so of the tracks as an album called "Oceania" in June.
