Inside, Blues guitarist Peter
Green says his LSD fueled journey from troubled East End kid to unwilling superstar went horribly wrong. Just as rock music was becoming big business, he turned his back on it all, tortured by guilt over the money he was making and his thought process damaged by hallucinogenic drugs. Riot are the “unluckiest band in
the world” who fell foul of the “machinations of the music industry, the fickleness of the record-buying public and the dark side of the rock’n’roll dream”. They tell a heartbreaking story of “heroic failure, bad luck and clash- ing personalities”. The first new Smashing
Pumpkins album in five years Oceania is actually Billy Corgan’s solo effort, backed by “yet another all-new trio of faceless hired hands”, according to Stephen Dalton but still gets a very good seven out of ten.
