Banter

MC: Good evening. Thank you all for coming out to this, the second of three sold out 93 XRT shows here at Metro with these guys. I'm Richard Milton from XRT Radio Chicago. Would you please say hello to my good friends, the Smashing Pumpkins
Corgan: Hi
Soma
Geek U.S.A.
Corgan: Hi
Rhinoceros
Quiet
Window Paine
Today
Iha: Thank you for the wonderful hat
Disarm
Corgan: Now all you wanna hear are old songs. Ah, who wants to hear old songs? Fuck 'em
Siva
Corgan: Yes I can read your mind
Mayonaise
Corgan: What? I know we're ugly, you don't have to tell us... and by the way she's got a boyfriend, ok, so you can stop yelling her name every five seconds
Rocket
Hummer

Corgan: See, no one taught this poor guy proper slampit etiquette. You're not supposed to act like a goof during the slow parts, only the heavy parts. So if anyone's over you during one of the slow parts, just toss them on their head... stupidity should be met with more stupidity

Cherub Rock
Corgan: Alright, shhhh! You gotta be quiet for the pretty song
Audience member: Fuck the pretty song!
Corgan: What? Fuck the pretty song? Fuck you. Don't be so stupid
Starla
I Am One
Corgan: Bye, see ya
[encore break]
Iha: Thank you so much
Corgan: It's useless to talk so... Well I don't know if you can hear me but thank you for coming, thank you. Thanks for caring, thanks for sharing.... Hey fuck the Turnups, man
Drown
Corgan: Are you tired? Should we quit?
Audience: NO!
Corgan: Are you sure?
Audience: YES!
Corgan: I don't know we're getting pretty old, I don't know. Can't rock like we used to. I don't know, can you still rock?
Iha [in weary voice]: I'm trying, I'm trying to rock
Corgan: What?
Iha [in weary voice]: I'm trying to rock
Corgan: You're trying?
Iha: I'm trying to rock, rock like a hurricane
Wretzky: James, I think it was that pink wig you were wearing earlier
Corgan: Sucked the energy right out of your head
Iha: Sucked it right out of my head
Wretzky: The evil pink wig, get rid of it
Corgan: Alright, who wants this?
Iha: Bob wants it
Corgan: Alright, whoever can come up here and sing a song for everyone else. How about... alright
instrumental
Audience member: What song?.. they're from the Chicago, the windy city... we'd like to thank the Smashing Pumpkins for coming down for THREE FUCKIN' NIGHTS!
Corgan: Thank you that was beautiful. If we ever add another member we'll call you
Silverfuck
Corgan [midsong]: Man I'm so glad they let you out of the institution for the gig. I know life's a bummer when you're out of your fuckin' mind
Jackboot (tease)
Corgan [in cowboy voice]: Well thank you partners, thanks for comin' to the rock show
