Okay people always go on about how Courtney has to use guys to write songs for her and all this shit but I wonder sometimes if it could ever possibly be the other way around. No one would ever talk about that though in the press. I was just listening to Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Pumpkins and it reminds me of a little Hole song called Violet. I'm not saying it's a complete rip off ofcourse and the subject matter is different but I just wonder if when Billy listened to Live Through This and heard Violet he was inspiried to write a rock song like Bullet with Butterfly Wings.

What? I don't see any resemblance between Bullet and Violet. :/

Going off past cbd threads I have come to the conclusion, she is a deaf motherfucka

billy could have copied courtney, but why would he want to?

We're talking about a guy who could shred faces off on guitar and a woman who is fairly competent, but hardly a virtuoso. Not to compare one vs. the other, but given the sheer prolificity of Corgan's written output (SP, Swan, solo, songs for CL, Breaking Benjamin, Taproot, etc), I highly doubt the man needs assistance in the songwriting department.

please. courtney is completely incompetent.

It's not about guitar playing it's about the song arrangement in the way he screams "Rat in a CAAAAAAGE" and explodes. Come on Smashing Pumpkins music was more psychedelic before then. If not Courtney, then he ripped off Kurt.

everyone ripped off somebody. there is absolutely no originality in the entertainment business. deal with it.

I just think it's an entertaining thought to throw in people's faces since all you here is Courtney stealing from somebody. What if some of these rock guys were inspired by her.

well courtney always does such a cracker-jack job, who WOULDN'T want to rip off her?

ok, its possible, ANYHTING is possible...... but lets be realisitc.

courtney is far far inferior to billy in terms of musical ability. its comes freer to him.he doesnt need anyone to help him write a song and he's sure written and arranged far more songs than she has. he's a consistent player of instruments, meaning he never loses his grasp of musical structure and the mroe you play HANDS ON, the more you learn about music.

shes a dependent song writer while he's an independant one. i dont exactly fall all over him or anything but theres no denying it. sure she has creative ideas, but to write phrasing for a song that he wants to copy? WHY? he can write ten songs for her one. shes a PERSONALITY who happens to collaborate on music, some of which is good its her main output I GUESS but shes not neccesarily a hardcore prolific musician, she has alot more interest in being a personality more than anyhting.. he on the other hand is a singer/ songwriter/ guitar player without too much of a personality *in my opinion*

this is SO unlikely.

LMAO.

edit: why did i even bother...
