Billy Corgan has always had the eye of an Art Director.
It was on full display at Dodger Stadium Halloween night in 1998 at the kick off of the Kiss Psycho Circus World Tour as he and the other members of the Smashing Pumpkins dressed up as The Beatles circa 1964 with the black suits and ties.
They also had “The Beatles” written on the bass drum of their percussionist at the time, Kenny Aronoff. Ironically it would be his last gig with the band as they would reunite with original drummer Jimmy Chamberlain the following Spring.
