I've always been a HUGE SMASHING PUMPKINS FAN!!! Even though I'm in hip hop...you have to appreciate their amazing musical ability! CRAZY TALENTED and down to earth!!! NOVA's a HUGE FAN!
During the time Zeitgeist came out, Billy was such a prick. Always in pissy defensive mode. Rrrreallly glad he's mellowed out and in a better mood lately.
***** Well he's definitely not still trashing Jimmy... seeing as Jimmy is playing drums with him on tour right now. I just saw them two nights ago. He's mellowed on D'arcy and he's held off on James lately... it's pretty much on record that they all had a fairly destructive relationship together, so there's probably been some bitterness, fights, etc. The fact that James and D'arcy I believe have sued him probably didn't make matters much better...
I'm typically willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, and of course I'd like to give Bill that... he and Jimmy do seem to have a close relationship, even if it's had its share of problems. But to use the old relationship analogy: someone breaks up with a girlfriend and says, "Man she was crazy." OK, maybe she was. But if after like, four failed relationships the excuse every time is, "Man, she was crazy," it starts to become obvious that they couldn't ALL be crazy, and maybe this person has some issues. So, even though I don't know one way or another, you have a point there.
Actually, for Melon Collie, Billy Corgan played everything himself in the studio. Every instrument you hear on the album is him and only him. Minus, of course "Take Me Down" and "Farewell and Goodnight", which James Iha (and I think D'Acry) added vocals.
Yeah... I would go out and buy every one I could fine... All the singles and imports. They have even more than 37! Just a wonderful band... Too bad music in general sucks now! Man, the 90s was a great decade for music!
U stole my words :P. One thing makes me admire Corgan is his tightness and honesty writing songs like talking for medias. Once Rolling Stone Mag asked him for his favorite band actually and he didn´t name a band from his lable neither his country. He adviced an independent band called SWAVE, giving very good comments about their song "In the future"
I am heart-broken - I truly expected better questions than the ones asked - the only good one was the song selection question - everything else was just things that you can find on their site. Oh well - I can't complain too much as I couldn't submit via video - only text.. *sigh* I still love the Pumpkins! 16 years for me and running strong ;) Thanks SP for everything!
great... video, concept, format, band. From simply knowing the SM name and being able to recognize some of their muisic, in just a few minutes, you suddenly know a lot about them.
Tough to get into zeitgeist. Loved American gothic. Music after that suffered without Jimmy though i did like Mike but Jimmy is Billy's musical soulmate.
I'd like to see you guys do a video with a RUclips user partner... getting involved with the community is a great way to get subscribed to. -Cory "Mr. Safety"
sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Cory Allan thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
In a world shoving mediocre "music" down the throats of anyone misguided enough to listen, SP still maintain individuality, integrity and always shine. But w/o James and D'Arcy, will never be the same.
True. Even so, I think there are more well-known Americans (apart from politicians, like they said) than Paris Hilton. Madonna, John Lennon, Tom Cruise, Micheal Jackson etc.
why is it billy corgan wont acknowledge the white stripes whenever someone brings them up he changes the subject im a fan of both and im just curious if billy hates them or something
Billy plays everything. I know it sounds nuts, but it's true. This is what I heard. Possibly the drums were recorded separately, but who knows. I know in old Pumpkins videos (maybe new ones too) Billy was in the video like 93% more than the others. But anyways... It doesn't really matter, they are all VERY talented, and I love them... Pisces Iscariot is their best CD (I know it's not an album, it's B sides, but still the best).
@thegermanchannel212 Today is about whatever it makes you feel. That is what Billy wants. For him, however, from what I gather from many articles and interviews, it is about him giving up, feeling alone, and deciding to use his gift. Basically about giving up, and in, to your true feelings and letting the chips fall where they may. Hint..the lyric, pink ribbon scars will never forget... he used to cut himself because he was so lost inside. There is much this man has given the world.listen
O by the way,love this idea you guys .But, i wish a lot different questions was asked tho.But, I got some good info out of tho,some background on the new album and it's art.Which is always totally sweet. LOve Ya Sp
He didn't just say "no," Jimmy actually interrupted him back, Billy was about to say "no, it would be too obvious --" and then elaborate, but Jimmy was too eager to continue with his own answer. Are you sure you aren't LOOKING for something wrong with Billy?
Ahh he didn't answer the question about how he gets his head so shiny! Still a rather righteous interview. Can't wait to see them in St. Paul!! These guys rule!
@misterdanger774 OK I know you posted your comment 7 months ago, but I feel the need to set you straight. Darcy had to leave. Because of a serious drug addiction. Her life had become a weight that was counter productive to the dream. James left because he was burned out from many years in a rock band, and he felt he needed to stand by Darcy. They did date, and were the best friends in the band, even after they broke up. Jimmy is still with him and he and billy are and always will be SP!!!!!
what is worst is when u saw a full concert on youtube as some people have, and then they go to the live show and you still don't give them anything new... 1 new song from the archive would of been nice. but no :(
I just thought I read that once in Rolling Stone, but I could be wrong, and that was a LONG time ago. But, I don't really care I guess... I'm a big fan, I own 37 of their CDs, and love them all... Especially the song "...Said Sadly" and "Dreaming"... Wonderful songs!
Well to me those guys seemed uncomfortable doing this video for youtube and felt like they wanted to get away from it as soon as possible. Did anybody else feel this way?
No i know it was one the purple one, but why wouldn't they put it on the original red one? why should i have to go buy 70+ dollars in CDs? just to get all the songs, just a little surprised by the nickel and diming is all
Nearly all of your fans complimented you guys, yet you didn't bother to thank them. They thanked you for the opportunity to ask you questions, but you didn't thank them for those questions until almost 12 minutes, and then it was like an afterthought to one person. Why these people think so highly of you is a mystery. I've never heard of you or heard your music, but after watching this video, I realize I've been spared.
and people wonder why no artist like you tube. because 90% of the people who post just want to flame or cause a stink. if you dont like something, piss off. SP has never been about showboating or keeping your interest. They have been dedicated to the music for a very long time and remain to do so. I thank them for that. The new album is great, as those before it. What an artists personal life is like should have no bearing on what you think of the music they create. Rock on SP!
just b/c i know someones sure to see it here...i was curious if anyone else is having a problem viewing videos when i try to watch some not all it just gets stuck at the loading circle anyone know whats up?
He never answered how he keeps his head so shiny
Shiny and oh so bright!
Mayonnaise?
The smash pumpkins are truly one of th most historic youtube channels, just like smosh and fred
COngrats on being featured!!!!
Great job.
From russia with love :)
my latest video is the trip to Jim Morrison's house!
they should do this again :D
I've always been a HUGE SMASHING PUMPKINS FAN!!! Even though I'm in hip hop...you have to appreciate their amazing musical ability! CRAZY TALENTED and down to earth!!! NOVA's a HUGE FAN!
I guess Billy insists on keeping the secret of his super-shiny dome to himself ... :(
During the time Zeitgeist came out, Billy was such a prick. Always in pissy defensive mode. Rrrreallly glad he's mellowed out and in a better mood lately.
*****
OK........
***** Well he's definitely not still trashing Jimmy... seeing as Jimmy is playing drums with him on tour right now. I just saw them two nights ago. He's mellowed on D'arcy and he's held off on James lately... it's pretty much on record that they all had a fairly destructive relationship together, so there's probably been some bitterness, fights, etc. The fact that James and D'arcy I believe have sued him probably didn't make matters much better...
Or hey, maybe the two of them just patched things up and are friends? They were always the most close, so it's not impossible.
I'm typically willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, and of course I'd like to give Bill that... he and Jimmy do seem to have a close relationship, even if it's had its share of problems.
But to use the old relationship analogy: someone breaks up with a girlfriend and says, "Man she was crazy." OK, maybe she was.
But if after like, four failed relationships the excuse every time is, "Man, she was crazy," it starts to become obvious that they couldn't ALL be crazy, and maybe this person has some issues.
So, even though I don't know one way or another, you have a point there.
He even played with James
Actually, for Melon Collie, Billy Corgan played everything himself in the studio. Every instrument you hear on the album is him and only him. Minus, of course "Take Me Down" and "Farewell and Goodnight", which James Iha (and I think D'Acry) added vocals.
Wrong
Siamese Dream
Let's get them some WD40 for those barstools next time.
douchelaroyche lol 😂
Used it all for his head.
No soup for you!
I love what you guys are doing with RUclips. Cheers!
thank you so much for getting back together!!!
Yeah... I would go out and buy every one I could fine... All the singles and imports. They have even more than 37! Just a wonderful band... Too bad music in general sucks now! Man, the 90s was a great decade for music!
How about this music we have now? 🤣
Serviceable player? Are you serious? He is an unreal drummer, the best rock drummer in the world. I can only imagine you're taking the piss.
how do you keep your head shiney? the question in the back of every fans head...
U stole my words :P. One thing makes me admire Corgan is his tightness and honesty writing songs like talking for medias. Once Rolling Stone Mag asked him for his favorite band actually and he didn´t name a band from his lable neither his country. He adviced an independent band called SWAVE, giving very good comments about their song "In the future"
lol
gotta love that chrome dome
Excellent stuff!
yay a recording of Gossamer will be released!!!
I am heart-broken - I truly expected better questions than the ones asked - the only good one was the song selection question - everything else was just things that you can find on their site. Oh well - I can't complain too much as I couldn't submit via video - only text.. *sigh* I still love the Pumpkins! 16 years for me and running strong ;) Thanks SP for everything!
Billy mentioned TMV pushing the boundaries of music I can die happy now.
Awesome video! Smashing Pumpkins rock.
I don’t think they’re self absorbed, they’re just really deep, if you are an artist on any level you’d understand
So cool of them to do this..
Damn..I was looking forward to that shiny head answer though...
Superchrist covered by the Mahavishnu Orchestra ftw! Excellent choice.
great...
video, concept, format, band.
From simply knowing the SM name and being able to recognize some of their muisic, in just a few minutes, you suddenly know a lot about them.
Tough to get into zeitgeist. Loved American gothic. Music after that suffered without Jimmy though i did like Mike but Jimmy is Billy's musical soulmate.
I think when it comes to artists alive or dead playing one of their songs, I would've chosen Elton John with Spaceboy.
Whoa, that's a good suggestion! 🤘
lmao that comment was 12 years agoooo 🤤🤤🤤 Ive been using RUclips for more than 12 yeeeaaars ahaha
@@Mauri.El.Creador LOL! I know, after I left the comment, I noticed it was 12 years ago. Someday I will respond to a comment that is 25 years old.😆
I'd like to see you guys do a video with a RUclips user partner... getting involved with the community is a great way to get subscribed to.

@Cory Allan thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.

@Cory Allan It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out!
@Howard Lucca happy to help :D
In a world shoving mediocre "music" down the throats of anyone misguided enough to listen, SP still maintain individuality, integrity and always shine. But w/o James and D'Arcy, will never be the same.
I would of asked if they keep in touch with Iha and Darcy
Billy and Jimmy had such a kickin' bromance.
why did nobody ask where james and d'arcy were now? or why they didnt want to be involved!?!?
Billy and Jimmy are both being very sarcastic.. They're best friends man...
...where have you been?
And you're a perfect example. billy sounds like he's got his feet firmly on the ground.
True. Even so, I think there are more well-known Americans
(apart from politicians, like they said) than Paris Hilton. Madonna, John Lennon, Tom Cruise, Micheal Jackson etc.
Thanks!
how DOES he keep his head so shiny?!?
this is great!
Holy crap this is awesome
LOL, after that trailer park one billys like "what was the question"
You can tell this was definitely not edited that much, also I find weird how Billy checks on Jimmy after every question asked..
Smashing Pumpkins is still an awesome band
I LOVE YOU PUMPKINS!!! I have 37 of your CDs!
lol the girl who asked about what the "meaning" of Paris Hilton was on an album called "Zeitgeist".
Jimmy is so cool.
this guy from italy..is he the same person like in the video "to love somebody"live in Milan, standing backwards Billy???
I think I just hit the jackpot in Smashing Pumpkins videos. :D
Their own shows have been 3 hours long, at festivals any band is going to be allowed around 90 minutes MAX
Oh pumpkins, thank god you're back..
I have a question, Why the hell wasn't zeitgiest the Song on the regular Album.
You know i think i agree with you. No one drums like Jimmy... he is a freaking human drum machine.
Billy dodged the question about his shiny head
no shit, in 2000 or 2001 darci quit the band right before they went on their "last tour" i was gunna ask them if darci was still in the band
Great answers =D
well, they better ask us questions!
what's with the scarf? Is it cold there or is it because you are old guys?
ajaja it`s funny how billy looks jimmy at the beginning.. like "what are you talking about"
Two shiniest heads in the world, in one band? Wow.
Jimmy's like wine he got better with age
when did jimmy kick the habbit?
why is it billy corgan wont acknowledge the white stripes
whenever someone brings them up he changes the subject
im a fan of both and im just curious if billy hates them or something
ha i love the war tapes and the mars volta
I don't think they needed such an approach with the new album, even if it was completely experimental it would have got the recognition.
So not true. James actually played a good amount of guitar on that album including the ripping Zero solo. Look it up.
Billy plays everything. I know it sounds nuts, but it's true. This is what I heard. Possibly the drums were recorded separately, but who knows. I know in old Pumpkins videos (maybe new ones too) Billy was in the video like 93% more than the others. But anyways... It doesn't really matter, they are all VERY talented, and I love them...

Why did these two split again.
O by the way,love this idea you guys .But, i wish a lot different questions was asked tho.But, I got some good info out of tho,some background on the new album and it's art.Which is always totally sweet.
LOve Ya Sp
He didn't just say "no," Jimmy actually interrupted him back, Billy was about to say "no, it would be too obvious --" and then elaborate, but Jimmy was too eager to continue with his own answer. Are you sure you aren't LOOKING for something wrong with Billy?
Hey how's it going?I delivered a pizza to You at that Lake Bluff Country Club back in '99.Kepp on rockin'.
Ahh he didn't answer the question about how he gets his head so shiny! Still a rather righteous interview. Can't wait to see them in St. Paul!! These guys rule!

Good hearing this I was one of those people who discovered Pumpkins through Zeitgeist :)
Haha, Billy didn't answer the shiny-head question.
And I did notice how serious they were at my concert, and at Live Earth . . .
what is worst is when u saw a full concert on youtube as some people have, and then they go to the live show and you still don't give them anything new... 1 new song from the archive would of been nice. but no :(
I just thought I read that once in Rolling Stone, but I could be wrong, and that was a LONG time ago. But, I don't really care I guess... I'm a big fan, I own 37 of their CDs, and love them all... Especially the song "...Said Sadly" and "Dreaming"... Wonderful songs!
you owe us gossamer
Is billy holding an iPhone?
Who the Hell Hasn't Heard of the Pumpkins? Honestly!!
awesome "The Mars Volta" mentioned...
Siamese dream isn't a band name, its an album name.
The pumpkins definetly pwn.
Well to me those guys seemed uncomfortable doing this video for youtube and felt like they wanted to get away from it as soon as possible. Did anybody else feel this way?
YAY! SP rocks
it's a port wine stain, like a birth mark
No i know it was one the purple one, but why wouldn't they put it on the original red one? why should i have to go buy 70+ dollars in CDs? just to get all the songs, just a little surprised by the nickel and diming is all
He was'nt scratching his armpit he was pinching his side it or so it looked lol
The Mars Volta, nice one Billy.
Ah, so they dig the Mars Volta. Good stuff.
cant say that yet, sometimes you never know with a band of this caliber, but it is better than Zeitgeist
Nearly all of your fans complimented you guys, yet you didn't bother to thank them. They thanked you for the opportunity to ask you questions, but you didn't thank them for those questions until almost 12 minutes, and then it was like an afterthought to one person.

boy who are u😭😭

I think Billy took a couple nights in Paris..
You guys are kick ass.Love the new album.Screw the people who talk S***.
The music is um....Godly.
Gabrielle from London looked hot. Oh yeah, the Pumkins did a good job with the questions. :D
just b/c i know someones sure to see it here...i was curious if anyone else is having a problem viewing videos when i try to watch some not all it just gets stuck at the loading circle anyone know whats up?
its Billy and Jimmy
What's with Billy's crack at Jimmy's past drug problem at the beginning of the clip? It really made the both of them uncomfortable...
1979 covered by Elvis, right?
