Linda Perry said she removed Billy Corgan from a studio session because he was a “Debbie Downer” and disrupted the vibe. She described Courtney Love and Billy Corgan as having a strong shared history, but her band refused to keep working with him. Perry said she confronted Corgan directly, telling him to leave and expressing that he carried bad energy. She also characterized Love as tough on the surface but gentle underneath, saying Love wants kindness and a hug while using armor to appear intimidating. Perry later said she is working with Love again and praised Love’s uniqueness and the need for her return with new music.
"“We were working on a record once when Billy Corgan came in and he was a Debbie Downer and ruining the vibe,” began Perry in a new interview with . “Courtney and Billy have incredible history together, but my band said, 'We can't continue with this guy'. Finally, I went into the control room, looked at Billy and said: 'You gotta go, man.'”"
"“As Courtney's eyes bulged, I said, 'You're walking around like you're God's gift to fucking rock 'n' roll. You've got bad energy. I want you out of my studio.' Billy was shocked and left.”"
"Perry went on to say that Love is really a softie deep down inside, adding, “I realized: 'Oh, she's a pussy!' Courtney acts like this tough person - and she is. She's very intimidating, but really she is a bottom. She wants to be kind and wants a hug and she's very gentle, but she has an armor she puts up.”"
"These days, Perry is working with Love on her long-awaited follow-up to America's Sweetheart. She concluded, “I love her and have had amazing experiences with her. The world needs Courtney Love back and I can't wait for her new record because there isn't anyone else like her.”"
