Avery calls Billy Corgan 'Inspiring'...

In un'intervista sul suo prossimo debutto solista (Help Wanted, che dovrebbe uscire i primi di aprile), Eric Avery, ex-bassista dei Jane's Addiction, parla anche dell'esperienza di tre settimane con gli Smashing nel 2001:
"I went into [the Pumpkins] with the same mentality I took with me when I auditioned for Metallica � I expected to have a good story to tell my wife. I had no expectations. I had heard nothing but bad things about working with Billy, but I went, and I found it to be a really inspiring time."
