Radiohead have announced a summer 2018 North American tour, playing many of the same venues The Smashing Pumpkins will be playing on their ‘Shiny and Oh So Bright’ reunion tour just days apart. Who do you think will draw better crowds of 90’s alternative rock fans? Let us know in the comments section!
Billy Corgan told Antiquiet in 2012: “I can’t think of any people outside of Weird Al Yankovic who have both embraced and pissed on rock more than I have. Obviously there’s a level of reverence, but there’s also a level of intelligence to even know what to piss on.
Because I’m not pissing on Rainbow. I’m not pissing on Deep Purple. But I’ll piss on fucking Radiohead, because of all this pomposity. This value system that says Jonny Greenwood is more valuable than Ritchie Blackmore. Not in the world I grew up in.”
Corgan later gave high praise to Radiohead in a 2015 Entertainment Weekly interview. He said, “Radiohead was probably the last band that really did anything new with the guitar.”
