Billy Corgan pissed off at people: "Most people don't even recognize my contributions as a guitar player"

What did he do on the guitar that Mascis
didn't do earlier?

[Bono Nettencourt]

Sold records.

Despite all his rage, he is still just a brat learning CAGED.

There are tons of alt rock guitar heroes who write most of the songs, play a few other instruments on record, and are also the singer and frontman. Thurston Moore, Chris Cornell, and I would even say Kurt Cobain were all very good guitarists and songwriters. I’ll bet they aren’t on these lists either, or are very low. Not sure Billy is any better than them.

Cobain normally ranks pretty high on these lists. Much to the annoyance of some people who post here

Jack fucking White was in the top five lists about ten years ago. Is he still alive?

Jack White has the Billboard #1 alternative song this week. Though, the fact that even I (someone who primarily listened to alternative/college/modern rock for 30 plus years) haven’t heard it tells you how much that matters for the mainstream these days. I was a regular radio listener right up until my local alternative rock station went out of business last year. That said, despite his lack of presence in current pop culture, Jack White has stayed very busy his entire career.
