Banter

[…] Pinwheels

Corgan: Now Jeff... Jeff, you've never been to the motherland before, the motherland of Russia, you've never been here? Schroeder: Never been. First time. Corgan: First time? Schroeder: First time. Very good, very good. Corgan: What do you think so far? Schroeder: It's the best, amazing! Corgan: Amazing? Schroeder: Amazing. Fiorentino: Amazing audience. Corgan: Now Mike, you've never been here either? What do you think? I can understand you if you only can play the drums very... [unintelligible, drums] Now Nicole... now what people don't know is, as a small child Nicole was here making a film with Tarkovsky. Yes, Nicole was an actress. Fiorentino: You're always starting rumors about me. Corgan: What was it like working with a great filmmaker like Tarkovsky? Fiorentino: It's like working with you, it's incredible.
Corgan: Amazing! Now was anyone at the one previous Smashing Pumpkins show in Russia in 1998, was anybody there? You were there? I don't think so 'cause nobody was there. Nobody was there except a bunch of screaming, drunk men. I played about 2000 concerts in my life and I have certain memories, and my memory of playing in Russia in 1998 was this... [gesticulates] That's my memory! The vodka flowed... the vodka flowed, the shirts came off and the men turned into some sort of Cro-Magnon... warrior. Now, I personally dated a Russian woman for eight years... yes... and I must ask you women, what is it that you like about this man... what is it that you like, I wanna know. 'Cause you must like him 'cause you keep... making children with him. As Russia rises... to world power... we know it's coming, we know it's coming, we see it. We know you guys are taking the shit over, we get it, we get it. Just remember us, just remember us when you're number one... Fiorentino: Remember we like you... we like you. Corgan: Remember the Pumpkins. I'm sorry? Fiorentino: I said... I was telling them to remember we like them. Corgan: Yea. Fiorentino: Yea.
Corgan: So, um, yea, that's about it. No, don't shout for songs, please... I'm too old... to listen to this shit. Excuse me? Zero, you wanna hear Zero? Okay, okay, hold on, hold on, I got Zero for you right here, hold on a second... [plays a few notes on the Mellotron] Russian style... there you go, played Zero, thank you. Now we don't have to play it later, it's awesome, I didn't know it was this easy! And when we don't play Zero later it will be your fault, it's okay. It's okay because you're this guy... [shouts for Zero and 1979] Jeff, having been in a relationship with a woman, born in Kiev, for eight years, this is what I learned about the Russian people... they do not know the meaning of the word no. You can say no and they just don't hear you. No does not exist in the Russian language, it's just yes. Yes, more, more, yes, go, oh my god baby, go, go, more! All night long, all night long! [chants for Zero; plays some notes] Oh... it's so good to be here with you! So we'd like to continue on... because if history is any indication I won't be back for 15 years. So in 15 years we'll make the same jokes... or play some different songs, but for tonight we'd like to play this song from our Oceania album. It's our most recent album, not that you know about it, Oceania, our most recent album. Not that you know about it, Oceania, our most recent album... yes. And this is a song that should appeal to the darkness of the Russian soul... don't pretend you don't have darkness in your soul, I've seen your movies... the song called Oceania.
