The Offspring guitarist Noodles recently took to his X account to chat with fans about conspiracy theories and theorists. The rocker asked his fans how they get along with the theorists and which theories were their favorites. He shared his picks and wrote:
“How do you have a rational conversation with friends and family who are conspiracy theorists? Sidebar, what is/are your least/most favorite conspiracy theory/theories? Personally, I love Bigfoot and some alien stuff. The rest all mostly suck ass.”
One fan shared Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan’s theory about guitars and their paint colors. He wrote:
“My favorite is Billy Corgan believing that ‘paint color actually changes the sound of a guitar’ because it’s so harmlessly ridiculous.”
Billy had given an interview to Guitar Center in 2018 and talked about his conspiracy theory. He said:
“People think I’m a bit goofy, but I do think paint color actually changes the sound of a guitar. I’ve found through the years that certain paints sound different, so the white Reverend, I think, sounds better. I have a couple of other ones, but this one seems to sound the best.”
When the fan brought up Corgan’s ‘ridiculous’ theory, Noodles replied:
“I’m not sure about that one. If the pigment of one color is heavier than another, then Billy’s theory could absolutely be correct. The duct tape on some of my guitars definitely changed the sound. In a good way!”
