For someone whose name has been dragged through the mud so much by the media, he is honestly one of the most pleasant rock stars I've ever looked into.
Adore was, is and always will be my favourite Smashing Pumpkins' album. I'm italian, i was 16 when i saw my first concert: in 2000 Smashing Pumpkins in Bologna. I still remember the whole night. Blank page at the end. Billy is a genius and has a really strong integrity. He's a real legend and represent the rock music. This integrity is what Bill Hicks was talking about. This is being rock and great rock musician. So, respect Billy. Cheers.
My pleasure. I used to tape anything and everything he appeared in back in the days of taping TV shows on to the VCR. I just keep finding these gems. I have a pretty good copy of the VH1 Fashion Award performance of "Crestfallen," it's a bit further into my videos. ;)
Two Pumpkins song references in this interview :D 14:16 a line from Mayonaise, "rumored to the *straight and narrow*" 14:23 a reference to the song "We Only Come Out At Night" Not gonna lie, I giggled when Billy referenced We Only Come Out At Night. Nobody probably got it though, since it's one of their lesser known songs from MCIS.
It's the physical manifestation of a turning point in a lot of ways, stylistically and in terms of their career/fame as well. I like the album, but the "purists" will always dislike it, and for good reason on their hand. Don't get me wrong, I fell in love with "Behold! The Nightmare" the first time I heard it; I love the shoegaze-y feel to it, although it isn't as heavily distorted. It's just considered a bad album because it was different, the way I see it.
Billy had one of the most perfectly symmetrical faces I've ever seen. Beautiful cheekbones,eyes,nose & lips. Wow ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ Don't like Tom Snyder. At all. But this interview was surprisingly good.
Like it or not, they're considered one of the greatest rock bands of all time. They defined the 70s and 80s and inspired many bands. I don't think they're anywhere near the level that Smashing Pumpkins is on, but they certainly deserve some form of recognition.
Are you fucking kidding???? Dude was EXTREMELY positive to rock musicians and obviously did some homework on whoever he interviewed. Dude was classy as hell!!!!
No sports in Europe ? lmfao ! 😂😂😂 Billy ! Wher have you been n Europe ? Roemenia ? omg ! 😂 Soccer, kickboxing, tennis, etc all day every day on the T.V !overhere ! And never heared about Hooligans 2 i presume ? Or did you think they would fight over B-teams 😂 No baseball and no american football equals no sport with bald billy 😂 (we do have NBA though) But i take this lightly, because when i look the way he is physicaly build, i doubt he did sport when he was younger, boney, fragile looking mf.
rocknrollboise what? Lol what makes you think that. That’s probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I guess you don’t know much about billy. But his relationship with Kurt was not very great
I like to listen to Billy's interviews. He's an interesting guy.
especially on alex jones

Love watching/listening to Billy's views, he is an amazing person!
I love adore. there can come some really beautiful art out of sorrow. If I'm sad it's my favourite album.

Billy is at the top of his game now what a smart man
"That's a toughy"
Thank you so much. I've been wanting to see this whole interview for a while. I just love listening to Billy talk. And Tom Snyder is great, too.
BulletS with Butterfly Wings? BULLET-S? ONE BULLET. JUST ONE.
Great interviewer

I caught it!!!!
I love Billy so much and have tons of respect for him. He is an extraordinary man. 3
P.J. was probably the most pleasant caller of all time.
I could listen to billy corgan for hours
"That is heavy metal" - little girl.... LMAO
I can't even emagine myself in billys shoes in this interview the tension is overly abondant.

that kid was prepped....
Sometimes it looks like he has one big nostril instead of two
Very good interview. Better than modern pop interviewers it seems.
Billy is BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Billy had one of the most perfectly symmetrical faces I've ever seen. Beautiful cheekbones,eyes,nose & lips. Wow ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
Don't like Tom Snyder. At all. But this interview was surprisingly good.
***** Lol not to be rude but I must say, that's one of the most paradoxical username's I've ever come across on YT!!
I'm a douche, but i don't believe it?
\m/MissMassHumanicide\m/ Billy "Charlie Brown" Corgan!
\m/MissMassHumanicide\m/ .. you should see mine.! Lol
hes still hot and probably wouldnt fuck you regardless of what you thought of him js
He's so much more intuitive today to how things went wrong at that time
Snyder is an excellent host.
Thank you for this interview!
I'm curious to see how critics will rate Adore when its reissued.
That kindergartner was fucking savage.
I'd be proud as fuck of that little guy.
Shame on these people for their judgement.
Lol Bill Cosby the rapist
Awwww man what the fuck, now I can't think of anything else while watching the video XD
Omg that kid is great! He's probably old enough to front a band himself now.
The little kid was awesome.
That is an awesome combover
I love WPC he should get into politics I think he would do good work, Tommy 35, Irish
How great was that Seattle flyover with 1979 playing.
Great interview :) love Billy Corgan!!
10:36 the man is the band not a guitar
Great interview!!!
He was so handsome!
Kiss were fucking awful. Please don't mention them in the same breath as Smashing Pumpkins.
No, kiss is awful !

Music is not objective, squirt.
They had some good jams.
The Internet Killed Music lol no
Are you fucking kidding???? Dude was EXTREMELY positive to rock musicians and obviously did some homework on whoever he interviewed. Dude was classy as hell!!!!
damn. good interview.
I was at that concert. It was my first ever actually
Thanks!
Lov it
"Verry Good"
nice taste, kid
dude @ 3:20 dying!!!!
A lot of talk about energies, is he Buddhist ?
Buddhism is more about meditation than energies.
which year was it released?
He'll be singing that all the way to the gun store in ten years.
Jesse Ventura 2016
I do not, sorry. :(
No sports in Europe ? lmfao ! 😂😂😂
Billy ! Wher have you been n Europe ? Roemenia ?
omg ! 😂
Soccer, kickboxing, tennis, etc all day every day on the T.V !overhere ! And never heared about Hooligans 2 i presume ? Or did you think they would fight over B-teams 😂
No baseball and no american football equals no sport with bald billy 😂 (we do have NBA though)
But i take this lightly, because when i look the way he is physicaly build, i doubt he did sport when he was younger, boney, fragile looking mf.
"stars of tomorrow, you saw it here first". No they didn't, they saw it on Bill cosby first. dumb old idiot
I used to rock really hard, but, i found playing crappy pop music and becoming more pretentious suited me better.
Is that you, Sting?
Name a rock band that never played sad music or ballads.
Narrow eyed moron.
Tom Snyder is a dick.
He wants to be a bald Kurt Cobain so bad.
rocknrollboise what? Lol what makes you think that. That’s probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I guess you don’t know much about billy. But his relationship with Kurt was not very great
I’d listen to the song Rocket.
rocknrollboise lol he was literally bigger than Cobain in 95
