VIDEO : Billy Corgan on Touring With Marilyn Manson and Battling Nostalgia

Billy Corgan and Marilyn Manson have been close friends since the late Nineties, give or take a rift along the way. And on July 7th, Manson and Smashing Pumpkins will kick off a month-long co-headlining tour in California. The Pumpkins frontman called Rolling Stone to talk about the End Times tour, why he hates nostalgia, and what it takes to be a rock & roll survivor. Corgan takes issue with calling the tour nostalgia. He tells Rolling Stone, Anybody who calls us a nostalgia show does not know what they are talking about." He adds, Seriously. I mean, he has just released one of the best albums of his career, and my last two albums were super highly reviewed and well received, so they don't know what they are talking about??
