Billy Corgan explains why he kept Smashing Pumpkins' name

He says: 'I am not 'the band', I am just the leader of the band.’

No one would like to see the original lineup recording together today more than me but Smashing Pumpkins was always Corgan's band. He usurped both D'arcy and James by playing their parts on some of the band's finest work due to his high standards, so who's to question him keeping the name?
