Linda Perry Kicked Billy Corgan Out Over Bad Vibes

Linda Perry, a prominent musician and producer, shared an anecdote about once expelling Billy Corgan from her studio. She stated that the Smashing Pumpkins frontman was creating a "huge bummer" during a recording session with Courtney Love. Perry told Corgan he had "bad energy" and was acting like "God's gift to rock 'n' roll" before asking him to leave.

This confrontation led Perry to observe that Courtney Love, despite her intimidating persona, is fundamentally a "bottom" who desires kindness. Perry described Love as having "armor" that she puts up, concealing a gentle and kind nature. Perry and Love have maintained a close friendship and professional relationship over the years.

Perry has co-written and produced several of Love's musical projects, including her debut solo album and a Hole record. While Corgan also contributed to one of these albums, Perry's direct confrontation with him highlighted a significant moment in her understanding of Love's character. Perry expressed her admiration for Love, calling for her return to music and anticipating her new album.
