After an interview with Howard Stern's radio talk show, another controversy arose after Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan slams on Pearl Jam and the Foo Fighters citing that the two bands "don't have the songs."

It was reported by Toronto Sun that Corgan said: "I think the work speaks for itself... I know they have a tremendous fan base, and they should, they're a great band, but I'm a Beatles guy, I'm a Stones guy, I'm a Kinks guy. A lot of other bands don't have the work.

"I don't think they have the songs. I think if you stack my songs up, (Kurt) Cobain's songs up, and that band's songs, they just don't have the songs. They're a great band, they're still an arena act. They've got it done for a long time, I have to bow to that... That's a mystery to me cos (sic) I don't get it."

Billy Corgan, who played alongside the Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam in the past, said in the interview that Pearl Jam's front man Eddie Vedder was for him "transformed by fame," after they got a falling out with each other through the years.

"No, no... I think a lot of people are transformed by fame... well, I knew one person and then there was another person."

Smashing Pumpkins founder Billy Corgan went back and forth slamming the two bands even claiming at one point that Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters' front man had no progress in music, as far as he could see. He claimed that the band didn't evolve thoughout the year and has been making the same music eversince.

"Dave (Grohl) is a great musician, great songwriter and has done the work... my criticism of the Foo Fighters, if I'm being a music critic, is that they just haven't evolved and that's sort of the recent wrap on them is, you know, making the same music," he said later in the show.
