ok, I know its 12 hours after the show aired and this probably doesnt deserve its on thread but I couldnt let Earl go on his comment that Billy Corgan played all the instruments on Siamese Dream. Looks like Mr Perfect is starting to lie again because thats a rediculous claim. Billy Corgain "wrote" all the songs but one (James Iha got co-writing credit on Mayonnaise). But the band members pretty much played their respective instruments on the recording. Since both Billy Corgan and James Iha shared guitar parts its not clear who played what, but I would bet Corgan did all solos. <ul><li><a title="Billy Corgan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Corgan">Billy Corgan</a> - <a title="Vocals" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocals">vocals</a>, <a title="Guitar" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar">guitar</a>, <a title="Mellotron" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellotron">Mellotron</a> on "Spaceboy"</li><li><a title="James Iha" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Iha">James Iha</a> - <a title="Guitar" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar">guitar</a>, <a title="Vocals" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocals">vocals</a></li><li><a title="D'Arcy Wretzky" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Arcy_Wretzky">D'Arcy Wretzky</a> - <a title="Bass guitar" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bass_guitar">bass</a>, <a title="Vocals" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocals">vocals</a></li><li><a title="Jimmy Chamberlin" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Chamberlin">Jimmy Chamberlin</a> - <a title="Drums" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drums">drums</a></li><li><a title="Mike Mills" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Mills">Mike Mills</a> - <a title="Piano" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piano">piano</a> on "Soma"</li><li><a title="Eric Remschneider" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eric_Remschneider&action=edit">Eric Remschneider</a> - <a title="Cello" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cello">cello</a> on "<a title="Disarm" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disarm">Disarm</a>" and "Luna"</li><li><a title="David Ragsdale" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Ragsdale&action=edit">David Ragsdale</a> - <a title="Violin" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin">violin</a> on "<a title="Disarm" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disarm">Disarm</a>" and "Luna"</li></ul> {Wikipedia.org}Please Earl, if you dont know a fact for sure, dont put it out over the internet. It makes the show look silly.  Sorry but I had to get that off my chest.

Listening to replay, wasnt just Earl, the vast majority of artists/albums mentioned did not have all instruments played by the same person.

I wrote and played all the incidental music on this album:<img height="420" src="http://homepage.mac.com/fidelitarean/oddments/covers/mediafiles/l36.jpg" width="442" border="0" />Basically it was just me banging on a stew pot shouting "HEY ASSHOLE! YOU'RE KILLING YOURSELF!"
