Overrated bands.

[Fenster]

Soundgarden and Smashing Pumpkins, both bands wrote catchy songs, and I actually like both bands CDs, but they could never pull it off live.
Chris Cornell from what I understand sounds good the first few shows of a tour, but Arizona is always near the end.

And Billy Corgan is perhaps one of the biggest douches to ever grace the rock stage.

The Smashing Pumpkins were the single worst live act (from a major band) that I have ever seen. It instantly made me dislike them. I have absolutely no regard for bands who cannot perform.

Ive seen the Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden live quite a few times (over ten years ago ).

Always thought Smashing Pumpkins were great. Soundgarden not so. Think it depends on the venue most of the time.
