It figures that the big ‘news’ from an MTV-sponsored concert would be about the interruption of music, specifically “Disarm.” Many more pictures from the band’s Mexico City gig here.
This is the most obvious opportunity for a “provide your own caption” comments thread in HU history. Go for it.
I SAID I WANTED DISARM!
or:
“Say uncle and release Tom Tom already!”
TODAY IS THE PAIN-EST!!!!!
Jimmy’s back!
“Billy Corgan collapses onstage again”
God Damn It – Play Fucking “I Am One”
Switching from heroin to steroids, Jimmy Chamberlin administered revenge upon Billy Corgan in the form of pain! “Change the name of the band to The Smashing Heads,” Chamberlin growled.
Captions all day:
The Smashing Corgans
Billy Descends
Destination Known
Billyfallen
In The Arms Of Creep!
Where Billy Fears To Tread
Take Me Down (The Corgan Remix)
A representative for the band Pavement was on hand to deliver a very violent message to Billy Corgan. “Critics’ masturbatory diatribes are all we have!” screamed the rep.
my question is, when did he have time to rehearse for this?
and… i seem to remember in that one german tv doc he was in with uli jon roth that billy refused to get into the ring with some wrestlers.
what’s changed?
Billy Corgan makes the mistake of picking on someone his own size.
‘A representative for the band Pavement was on hand to deliver a very violent message to Billy Corgan. “Critics’ masturbatory diatribes are all we have!” screamed the rep.’ LMFAO. I’m a huge wrestling fan so…
how about: The World’s a Greek Tragedy, Filled with Pain
@Skyler Danes:
destination known – lol
“Be careful.. I have bad ankles!”
However you say “ROAAARRRRR” in Spanish. That’s the caption.
BC: “Hmm, usually when I mid-air 69 with a dude I am facing the other direction?”
“Please don’t hurt me, I don’t believe in Western medicine.”
when did Pitchfork started hiring luchadores for their reviews?
“Que fue lo que dijiste de Paz Lechantin?”
@Sam: Pitchfork writers obviously have better things to do
“Billy Corgan (above, inverted) demands Mexican curandero, green M&Ms, inversion therapy as part of contract rider for MTV World Stage Mexico.”
“Okay, now turn left, look right…”
“This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!”
@gyang333
in case you didnt noticed they werent in the ring this time.
now going back to burn Rome…
anyone know what the setlist was????
“Billy wrestling with his recent mediocrity and failures.”
surprised there have been no ukelele cracks yet.
“You will be visited by three more Luchadore’s tonight, and you will finally learn the true meaning of Rock n’ Roll!”
“Quick someone help! Billy is choking on some broccoli!”
“This stage security is really getting out of hand”
“I’ll stick *you* in 1993!”
“EAST”
The Smashing Pumpkins introduce the new and improved life size Billy Doll.
Angry Luchadore takes band name literally; attempts to smash Pumpkin.
All of you are trying to be TOO funny. not good not good.
Hey, it’s Hernandez from TNA! Kick arse!
“Jimmy’s reaction to being fired from the band”
“Be careful.. I have bad ankles!”
“This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass!”
I lol’d at both.
Jimmy isnt being used enough around here lol
Billy: Hey Jim, look I know we worked together for 20 years now but…youre an unhealthy person and I can no long-
Jimmy: DIE!!!!

By the look of that picture, Corgan is getting acquainted with the Mexican Welcome, i.e. “GIMME YOUR LUNCH MONEY, GRINGO!”
Funny (and true story): Thom Yorke got his wallet nicked in Mexico’s airport in december, 2003.
thanks san!
Didn’t Billy tweet something along the lines of “make sure you know our new song Freak” before this show? For their current hit single it seems like they skip it fairly frequently…
“So thats how Billy hits those high notes..”
In a dream we are connected, Siamese twins at th – OH GOD MY BACK.
This was on MTV right? There must be footage of this somewhere…
“United States hires 90′s alternative rockstar, Billy Corgan, to solve illegal immigration with Mexico.”
“Billy Corgan laments being a (insert rival mexican wrestler) fan.”
“Inspired by Mickey Rourke, Billy Corgan leaves his career as a successful artist to pursue an unsuccessful career in competitive, albeit fake, fighting.”
“Derranged wrestler mistakes Billy Corgan for the great pumpkin that never arrived.”
and finally,
“Corgan enters the ring with turpentine kisses and mistaken blows.”
+1 FOR CHRIS’S CAPTION
A fan who attended the “special acoustic” Halloween show in Columbus, Ohio finally catches up to Billy to demand a refund.
Jimmy´s blows up his lifesize Billy doll and awaits revenue.
Smashing Pumpkins fans are probably the least witty people, apparently.
@spumpkins @rapapapa: Both of your contributions were particularly witty. You’re criticizing goofy comments about an even goofier picture. Lighten up!
“EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGLE”
A luchador gives Billy a demonstration of The Jackknife Powerbomb. Compliments to Captain Insano!
@skull
Im not criticizing anyone. you are reading too much in what I said.
going back to burn Rome…
“BILLY! GROW YOUR HAIR BACK!!!!”
lol, ram jam wins.
Do a barrel roll!
Rammstein – Du Hast.
@squishingmelons
“In a dream we are connected, Siamese twins at th – OH GOD MY BACK.”
This was damn funny… :)
Hey Canadian hipsters :) dont be sad that Lithuania beat you up in basketball championship. SP visit Lithuania (one of the Baltic countries)!
@rapapapa
I would say it’s embarrassing, except for the fact that Canada’s basketball national program sucks.
so, I’m not surprised we lost to you guys.
It was a tough match. When Canada had 15 points plus, I thought ‘well its over’ and even wanted to turn off the tv, but i didnt;D. IMO our three points and defence is weak. Especially three poit attacks. Im not a big basketball fan now, but I remember when I was 8 back in 2000, as funny as it seems but then I liked basketball much more.Then in 2000 Olympic games Lithuania played a match with USA in semifinals. it was a legendary match.. we lost only by two points. but in 2004 we kicked their asses :). and then again we were beaten up by USA in the bronze medal match. heh. a bit offtopic but nothing wrong with that;].
I hope that when SP will go to Europe, that they at least will visit Poland, which is near Lithuania. Or Ryga town in Latvia. but it would be so amazing if they’d decide to come to my country.
“Untroo!!!”
“when did Pitchfork started hiring luchadores for their reviews?” – fucking brilliant!
“Leave my James aloooooone!!!!,” said Iha’s new lover.
I might look strong, but whoever hurled this bald guy from the audience is a fucking monster!
Me Like Jimmy! Rarrrr!
I’m gonna love him and hug him and squeeze him and call him George.
Lithuanian kicked Spains ass!
SP – visit Lithuania! you have listeners/fans here.
