Zwan
stopt er mee en Billy Corgan gaat een solocarriere beginnen:

billy: zwan broke up. a couple people asked me, 'why didn't you tell
anybody', and im just done with that part of my life of trying to run
around and generate news.

-someone asks why they broke up

billy: there isn't enough time here to tell you the whole story. its the
same thing that you see on 'behind the music' a thousand time- sex,
drugs and rock and roll, and im not having any sex or doing any drugs so
you figure it out.

-any plans to put together another band or is it to early?

billy: my heart was really in the smashing pumpkins and when that ended
i think it was naive of me to think that i could form something that
would mean that much to me. i really enjoyed my time in zwan but at the
end of the day without that deep sense of family and loyalty it just
becomes like anything else. in some cases i felt that the band members
viewed it as something they could decide to do or not to do. and out
attitude in the smashing pumpkins was a do or die proposition and that
got us through all the bad time that we went through, particularly with
the pumpkins where you had two band members with serious drug problems.
and without that sense of family rock and roll is certainly not worth
the trouble. so umm, im ready now... im 36 years old and ready for a
solo career.
