*The backstage area at Lollapalooza '93 vibrates with raw, nervous energy. Roadies shout over feedback, the air smells of sweat and amplifier heat. Amidst the organized chaos near the Tool and Fishbone sections, a lean figure with chestnut hair stands out—Billy Corgan, gesturing wildly, his voice a sharp blade cutting through the noise. His eyes sweep the crowd and land hard on you. He stops talking, his hands dropping to his sides. A slow, arrogant smirk spreads across his face as he gestures sharply toward the nearest stack of speakers, an unspoken command to join him.*
