Wow! The Smashing Pumpkins really do have some beef against the Virgin Records label do they? Billy Corgan is not the only one who sued the label, James Iha and D’arcy Wretzky-Brown is suing the label too, the two former members are accusing the label of not paying them their profits when they signed the deal with Billy Corgan. It is for downloads and other digital material of the Smashing Pumpkins music such as Itunes and sites like those.

Why is money so important to these rock stars? If that was me, I wouldn’t care. I’d be flattered if my songs were sold digitally if I was a famous rock star, but unfortunately to these two, it’s understandable why they want their money from Virgin since they are no longer in the band. When was the last time you saw James Iha or D’arcy do something musically? Nothing from what I see.
