This man is a treasure. So happy he has a family of his own now and a partner that loves him.
Partner = "Girlfriend" for those of you who refuse to conform to bullying and violent intimidation in forms of verbal abuse and harassment for not wanting to use the "Ordered words" and burn society to the ground paving the way for the new anti-human, pro-transhumanist, man merge with machine movement, that turns into a sterile society unable to bare children thanks to mandatory schedules of jabs, for not real plandemics, leading to the collection of DNA harvested being used to create children in sacks. Come at me Agent Smiths. Morph into your form. I'm ready!
He’s also a fucking douche bag sometimes.
To clarify, I fucking love the smashing pumpkins, I even have a smashing pumpkins shirt on as I’m writing this, I just think Billy Corgan is a bit self centered sometimes.
@@MyBeautifulDarkTwistedFantasy6 Aren't we all?

Yeah, Well said. No more identify anybody with their God given traits.
But then turn around and use Marriage as an oxymoron. And demand rights that supersede other people. If people don't agree!! They should lose their careers.
I never got the stigma of corgan being an ego maniac he seems very humble and down to earth here
I wish we saw that side of Billy Corgan more often.
He literally puts it all in his music. It’s right there for you if you want to take the time and see it. The video touches on all these external pressures and you’re literally telling him he’s not giving you what you want. Uh... hello.

It took me a second to even realize this was Billy C. He's so thin. (he's 6'3" and normally well over 200 lbs.) Theses thoughts are philosophical and impressive to me. He's gone through some serious shit and he's processed it well. I saw him on Joe Rogan's podcast recently and he's even more thoughtful and, seemingly, at peace.
thank goodness for that
i knew he had his demons, it's with a happy heart I see this video and the recent podcast with Joe rogan..
Thanks for noting that. Life is tough as hell, even for the fortunate, and I'm always pleased to see people navigate it well. Billy seems like he's really invested in better mental/emotional health. Good investment!
Such similar childhoods, we had, overwhelming feelings and emotions and a sense of belonging. I am extraordinarily proud of you William and how far you have comes, and all your amazing accomplishment. YOU make me happy every single day with your lyrics and music like no other. Literally keep me alive with your beautiful Heart and Soul. Thanks to you my spirits soar and I am less saddened by not having a family as I started running away before I was 5 years old and continued until I finally escaped the evil at 16 years old.I am 52 and they don't consume my mind as much anymore. Thanks William for sharing yourself with us and your God Given Talent like no other. Appreciated with all of my being.x
Maybe I should be a pescatarian too..... for weight loss
i thought it was bill burr
This whole discussion explains the song "Muzzle". He is a true artist
Very good insight
No matter how bad you feel in this moment, remember it's only temporary.
So true, yet so hard to believe when you do feel bad. One lesson I definitely learnt when I was going through a really tough time was to just take care of my needs in the moment, and trust that the despair, depression, etc. _would_ pass eventually, or at least ease to a more tolerable level.
Well... Major Depressive Disorder lasts for more than a moment. He's not really talking about isolated moments of feeling "down". But yes, the point is, there is always a light and things are never as bad as they may seem.
but you never know that while in it.
My heart just broke when I realized he really was Billy Corgan 😔
I've been searching for this video for as long as I can remember. I can relate to this beyond comprehension. thank you billy corgan for sharing your story you are not alone.
Glad you found it man.
Ive been my own judge and jury for decades. It has literally made me insane. Its a dark place to be..
I can relate to a lot of what he said. His Music has gotten me through some very hard times, and I thank him
I love this man ❤️

I listened to this with headphones, and I could hear the slight fluctuations in his voice. He truly is a great singer, performer, and poet.
Years ago this helped me immensely. I since gotten on medication, got married, and live a stable happy life. Till this day a lot of what Billy says here I find myself saying to others during their dark times. 33 is my wedding song, but it wouldn’t be if it wasn’t for Billy, I couldn’t thank him enough.
Thank you Billy Corgan. You are my mentor.. Smashing Pumpkins you made me who i am
it took me 20 years to realize that.
Yes Smashing Pumpkins made me who i am today.
Thank you for reminding me !!!
Billy Corgan = Protect.
He is such a beautiful, intelligent and *wise* human being...this isn't coming from one of his obsessive fans, either. I'm just very much impressed with his views on many things and wish the rest of stardom could embrace that as well and truly be a good influence on humanity.
Now that's what I call an intelligent comment.
Wish more people were like you, Joe :)
@@Taylor.Dude. You know, you are free to agree with an opinion or not, without necessarily using this non-funny sarcasm.
That said, take care and live well, man.
I relate to Billy on abuse I was abused physically mentally sexually by people who were abusing alcohol and drugs. It’s a great big fucked up world we live in!
Sad eyes...
I absolutely love you William and I always felt like you had a good heart.
I've just found this. Thank you Billy
William Billy Corgan thank you for baring it all for the worldu saved my life 100s of times!!
This truly helped me a lot today
Forever in love with Billy ♓
I just found this and I’m thankful I did.
I began recalling previous abuse I had masked for so long and I’ve had problems with emotion regulation. However, watching this displayed that I do need help and I can’t battle these demons on my own.
Thank you Billy
Billy is my hero. He describes my life better than I can with my own words, and I already knew that before watching this video. This is the best video I have ever seen, I needed this. Thank you a lot for uploading.
really heavy insightful interview
What an amazing flowering he had in the early to mid 90s though. He exploded with incredible songs for a few years there ✌🏼
Still flowering to this day... the latest SP album is really good.
To this day. Yeah
His solo records are great, too.
@condemned1982 No it's not.
Piercing gaze, shivers..
I like to listen to him
Those are the deep eyes of an intelligent man who has suffered a lot in his life.
i thought this was recent footage. i was like damn he looks good
Good?
I was like, he has hair!! (Albeit under a cap) I thought he had stayed shaven since 1996.
Poor Billy. Glad he's better now
It is your own problem. You're not going to find it at the end of a crack pipe or at the end of a gold record.
You can find some solace in songs like "stumbeline" or "galapogos"
Those moments mean something.
Thanks Billy
Cupid de Locke is my song
thru the eyes of ruby
He reminds me of my professor
Great!
thank you for sharing humbly and honestly Billy Corgan. i fully believe Jesus is the Answer for the human condition. Jesus came to reveal the mercy of God the Father. to restore us to perfect authority, love, provision and protection. Identity can only be found in the creator who took on a human body entered His creation to love us and provide mercy and justice in punishing our sins to free us and demonstrate his love for us. turn from your sins and trust the good news. that God in Jesus is not counting our sins against us and will adopt us as his own. This is my experience and my hope.
I literally thought that was some acquaintance of Billy Corgan, kinda talking about him!
Love smashing pumpkins, love billy, case closed❤
Billy had a chad jawline
Song at the end: For God and country
💔
Damn, slap a hat on his head and Billy kind of looks like Ethan Hawke.
Paul Dack esp in the Disarm video. Ive always thought that
Slap a skateboard under his feet and he looks like Tony Hawk.
Take the hat off and now you have uncle fester
@@blakfloyd 😂😂😂
I never saw Corgan so thin! From when is this interview?
Hernesto Valente about 2008, i think.
It's a horrible thought but maybe his intense youth made him.
Is this around the same time he reconnected with Courtney Love? I feel like that always seem to coincide with his major depressions, frankly people only connect with her when they are at their lowest (Cobain, Corgan, even Fielding). In Billy’s case I wonder if he was drawn to her damage and just got pulled too far down. Anyway, his words here are so profound I’m glad that he pulled through this and that he seems to be in a great place now.
shat up
pls somebody..what song does this movie ends with? Dont remember and cant find it .-(
Stay safe
It's For God and Country from Zeitgeist
@@MatthewHoffmanau you know how it is sometimes maybe. You here something thats reminds of something and BOOM you need it directly .) Thanks
Barely recognized him. I didn’t know he ever got so thin. What’s up with that?
This was around 2005-07... I think the 2000s were really rough for him and I know he changed his diet often which makes me wonder if he lowkey had an eating disorder. He started gaining a lot of weight back around 2011-2012. I've heard speculation about other factors but it's obvious he was pretty unhappy after Zwan collapsed and the SP revival wasn't greeted with much positivity.
Clears throat:.... I used to be a little boy
I’m happy billy gained weight back because he looks seriously small in this video
Howdy!
He looks like on Suger.. I know that myself back then.. Extreme Weight loss...
Looks like sober Bert McCracken being that thin
That would be strange.
Take the beard off and he looks like Kirsten dunst
😂
One thing i realised is that you dont need to take it out on your own band members i know many people who was abused sexually including myself but i never use that as an excuse to treat other people like shit your music is beautiful your musicians are beautiful but your attitude towards your own friends can be shit
Wow he looks ill here
Trust God, it's not over yet.
Before he fattened up!
Middle age and sometimes medications do that to people. At least it shows he's human.
@@fionnagrant6636 I never questioned whether he was human or not. I've always liked him and still do.
he looks scary in this
Yeah, people who automatically think Skinny = Healthy are blind.
I have a feeling he was nerved out and hadnt been eating much in the recent past. Oddly it went along with the subject matter. But he looks frail and his mannerisms lack confidence. This must of been a low of his. Whats strange is someone said this is from 2008? I would have thought much earlier.
I’m so glad he completed his transition from chemo patient to egg
Very fucked up.
He looks like he's sick here.
teacher making me do this dumbass assignment about this video
An assignment on Billy Corgan? Weird you should really listen to his music tho he’s an amazing artist.
billy looks good when he is thin!
+The Wedge
,
Yeah but he was very unhealthy at this point in his life, not just physically, but mentally, he was sleep deprived etc.
So if a slightly fatter version of him means he is overall better, then I'd say pile on the pounds.
i honestly think he looks better when he's not a lanky skeleton
No, this is too thin and unhealthy looking
He's bigger now so idk why he was so skinny here
Never liked or trusted this guy. Also his music isn’t just from the heart, he puts too much thought into what he believes people want rather than what he really feels. He’s not a “from the heart” kinda guy, he thinks commercially and tried to guess what will make him money based on what he believes will be the next sell no point. Never liked his music or trusted him as a person. Imo lol
This is true only to a point. His musical output is so voluminous and a lot of it was clearly made without that kind of pretense. His solo albums in particular are very sincere and unique, also the Pumpkins album Adore. Even his "commercial" hits like Today and Disarm are extremely raw. Now I do think his more recent output under the Pumpkins moniker has been clouded by commercial considerations, absolutely. But we are seeing more experimental fare on Cyr and Atum, alongside his more recent solo albums Ogilala and Cotillions which are definitely worth checking out.
