Smashing Pumpkins' mainman Billy Corgan said at a Q&A session to promote the tour: "These days, people come expecting a greatest hits concert whether you want to give it to them or not.

"So you can either play that concert and a lot of people leave happy, or you can decide not to play the concert and your fans that sit on the internet every day are happy. Then the other 97% of the people are angry and lobbing firebombs at you on Twitter because they didn't get their teenage memory handed back to them."
