- Day in the life of the Smashing Pumpkins: Morning with Billy Corgan in his hotel room writing a song that will be played for the first time at the concert later that evening.
Billy writes almost every morning and comes to rehearsal with new ideas to show the rest of the group. This song ultimately becomes "The Rose March"
For those wondering about his playing (quoted from an article):
"Billy is left-handed. He writes with his left hand. However, he
plays the guitar as if he was right-handed. This is because he felt
that it was silly to have his weak hand doing the tough fret-work.
Another reason is that when Billy and his father went to buy a
guitar, Billy asked which was more common. He went with a
right-handed guitar."
DamnitBoy that means he's ambidextrous
Actually it doesn't mean he's ambidextrous. People don't know what that word entirely means
It's automatic since young age. I know cause I write with left hand and play guitar with right hand.maybe it has something with the first time which hand we play guitar with
I'm ambidextrous. I play guitar with my right hand as well.
James B. McGill I learnt left handed as well. It felt wrong for me to learn to play right handed because your picking or strumming hand is where all the feel is. It is also the part that requires most precision. I would say if you are strongly left handed you should learn left handed.
One of the best Artists of our time. Enjoy it and be inspired.
I think Billy Corgan is one of the most impressionable song writers of our time. His music is the kind that can take you to another place or another time just by the words and music he talks about... I remember seeing there last concert here in Canada during Summersault and was very saddened by the fact that they were done... but when I heard that they were getting back together I got so excited Not bad for a return album Please don t let the music die Billy
I feel such at peace watching this.
i love how jimmy randomally looks through that telescope hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His way of handwriting and guitar playing is the opposite of kurt's, Billy writes with his left hand, and plays guitar right handed. Vice versa in kurt's case.
no one cares about kurt
@@cullenbrownmusic said no one ever
Kurt was right handed. Billy is left handed but plays guitar with his dominant hand.
No matter how old this video is, still great to catch an inside glimpse of WPC working.
true!
Old school song writing..cool!
is it just me or am I obsessed with he's cool handwritting
Every time I see a Smashing Pumpkins documentary it makes me question my future: Do I want to live a boring life as a normal person, or continue to play music?
ColoredPig Same dilemma bro
keep doing music man!
Keep making music ❤
So you chose being boring commenting on youtube
The difference is society doesnt care about musicians. Hence the starving artist conundrum
Leftie who plays right
that's exctly the first thing I noticed. I'm also lefthanded and play guitar as right. I think it gives you a broader understanding of your brain.
Pun..
just like me lol
It’s so weird to imagine. lol
Cross dominant/ ambidextrous who plays leftie. It’s a lot of fun to play that way. Not so fun if you are shopping for guitars! Haha
Billy Corgan... Real music...Real sound....Real artist...Real energy.
I actually loved the finished version of this song.
If it wasn't for Billy, I don't know where I'd be in life. He's such an inspiration and one of the few people in the world I can really relate to... which is weird since I've never really met him, haha.
Genius at work. ❤️
I could watch this for hours and hours and hours
god he just overwhelms me in such a great way. i could just stare at him for days & never grow old of his wonder. he is my soul mate.
Thanks for posting this clip. It is interesting to see him working on a song. To me Billy is the best: he can soothe your soul with both honey sweet love melodies and soul tearing screams.
You see, jimmy is always on Billy’s side. No matter what theyve been thru
They stopped spooning since they got their own rooms tho,he said.
@@ectoplasma5 😂😂😂 wtf dude
@@Bilsuburbians Jimmy really made that joke on some show 😅.
My favorite songwriter of all time writing my favorite song of all time. Epic
writes with his left and shreds righty.. god damnit he's a god
@@PMurray2694 and I meant to say he does it well. I’m sure you don’t
@@andrewtresler6765 roast! hahaha
@@andrewtresler6765 not that uncommon tbh.
@@davidminor4213 I don’t believe you.
@@saintjabroni lot of lefties do things right-handed
I love The Rose March and it is wonderful to see a peek of how he made it.
I can totally get how some people dont like his voice, but I LOVE it & I think that he is PLAINLY the MOST talented guitarist & songwriter of the past 20 years...I dont think that there is any ceiling to his level of creativity....there are a lot of REALLY good players out there, but I think Billy can do ANYTHING he wants with music, its his toy & I am SO thankful that he likes to play! :)
This is a wonderful gift. Thank you Billy.
A window into the bubble is always cool.
He looks so serious when he's listening.
Hummingbird....great guitar.
Watching a genius at work.
Billy is the man.
..... and wearing his mickey mouse t-shirt...... Billy, and his guitar... gently....methodically..... destroyed the world. .... the end. :)
Best singer guitar player of the 90's...not Kurt..it's this man right here.
And forever since it could be argued
Billy is definitely a great musician!
haha hes so old school he still uses tapes thats awesome ,,,
I could listen to this forever. 💜
Yup, he's one of the most talented musicians ever. He has inspired me a lot I think. I saw them in Copenhagen, Denmark 27th of february. At first I just didn't know what to expect, but boy, did they kick ass! I just didn't think the Pumpkins anno 2008 would be good, but they proved me wrong!
this is my new fav pumpkins song! i really hope this gets released somewhere. SO beautiful...
Tapes rule!!!
They really don't.
Billy Corgan to me is my fav singer I hope never stops writeing smashing pumpkin music seriously never just keep makeing more I got every album the smashing pumpkins made what I like about them is every album is different
Billy Corgan rocks! I lov e his music!
Wish I was there - beautiful song Billy :) I look forward to it's completion.
Excelente billy siempre fue un gran compositor y un gran musico que interesante como graba sus demos en un simple grabador de casette y con su micro en un simple mañana en un hotel bien billy sigue asi eres el mejor
Thank you, Billy xx 🖤
@brookieandEbony - Its just pigmentation in his skin, nothing harmfull or whatever. He said once in an interview, he usually hides it with long sleeves (youll notice for his stage performances) and that hes very self conscious about it
The Pumpkins was the best live band in the world around 92-93-94 i think. Miss the old Pumpkin style, and energy they had. But they're still great of course.
so sweet when he works ;) a great musician =)
such a pretty guitar. billy is one of my favorite song writers
I love billy he is great i haven't noticed that he is left handed until i saw this video
U guys are amazing.
damn what i'd give to be atleast half as awesome as this man.. billy corgan rocks and so does Smashing Pumpkins
This is just amazing :D
just another legend doing his amazing job.
an interesting moment in time. i loved it.
who cares if he is old ..hes a poet and magnificent...lets see you write an album like he has....
it's definately a tape recorder due to the box saxing maxell and then when you look at it when he pulls it out of the box it is definately too big to be a mini disc. You are right... it is a condenser mic. I am thinking he is using a marantz 3 head professional tape recorder.
I loved❤
He shows that no genius is anything without constant hard work. This is true both for arts, science and any other thinkable context.
i'm 31 and smashing pumpkins was in their prime in my era.....i must admit.....rocket brings back some very fond memories. :D
amazing
to see a genius at work
Billy's one of my musical idols
he's like the rockk Beethoven or something lol
writes pretty much all the songs himself
the guitar/bass parts
great singer
great guitarist
cares about the fans
he's amazing
i love watching him play
this song is called the rose march if anyone is wondering :)
It's just a birthmark. A big one.
I love his Gibson
That's his birthmarks. Hence the name of his pre-pumpkins band The Marked.
genius at work
Rose march❤️
I'm in love
Billy if you can see this...... =)
You shine!
billy rules!!
beautiful!
he does this all the time, I've worked with him and this is his natural nature...as is jimmy's....good people.
Telescope watching. Jimmy’s natural habitat.
cool,i just got the american gothic ep and heard this song,and now i c him writing that song!so cool!
I have that exact same pen. I feel special
That guitar sounds really nice. The song too.
i hate how time makes you older
it sounds lame but fuck, this man was a inspiration when he was young. now he's like a shadow of that spirit
Just different times. He goes with the times. Definitely doesn’t repeat himself.
i do that as well, corgan, another great left handed musician
so serious at work my love... what a song one of my favorite... XD
& the best example of this is Pastichio Medley of the Zero EP, cuz we all know they're MANY brilliant songs, but this is just a 23 minute mash up of riffs, that Im sure could just go on FOREVER!
ya it is,when he was young he was in a band with his friend called The Marked cos they both had marks.
ha this is him writing the rose march. awesome
Much prefer that version than the recorded one. Why can't he keep it pure and simple nowadays?
Sweet guy sweet music
legend
it's called "the rose march" it is on the ep titled "american gothic" which came out months ago i believe
cool.record ur songs and upload them if u can,im interested in hearing them.:)
My heart
@RazeAndJadith but to be fair, she could have been saying "addict" in the unorthodox way, maybe saying that Billy is a workaholic (addicted to work) or addicted to money, or music, or whatever. It's impossible to know for sure. The only reason I say that about Jimmy is because he was an addict in the past, and the recovery rate for opiate addicts is about 10%. Meaning, 90% will not successfully be able to quit using opiates altogether in their lives. So kids reading this... DO NOT DO DRUGS.
yeah i just noticed that too...cool.
I normally don't care for acoustics very much, BUT:
This is a really good song.
anyways The Smashing Pumpkins are working on a new album right now and it has super christ on it I cant wait its going be freaken awesome I hope its a double album
About the left-hand and right-hand thing: Brazilians probably know Edgard Scandurra. For those who don’t, search for it. His adaptation is amazing.
yes!
Definitely. Plus, it's always good to have a hard copy of your music and it's much easier just to record it on tape than to record it onto a computer or arrange to jump into a studio and lay it down, considering all the prep that goes into laying down a track in studio
I wonder if Billie records to voice memo now?
the man is a musical genus.
Billy looks younger in this video,his voice unlike any other.!!
the visa commercial was supplied with the rights to "today" because of the agents and the record company, not the band.
Interesting, that's a cool telescope his got, i saw them during the MAchina tour a fantastic show
hell yeah!!!!!
Como me gustaria tener esa cajita de todos los demos reciente que ha hecho mi gran amigo billy seria cool
Cassettes are far simpler.
i love jimmys approval of the song twards the end. so sick.
best recording studio evah!
Smashing Pumpkins fans so did you hear Billy Corgan just said on you tube that has a new live smashing pumpkins dvd coming out in nov 0f 2008 and theres another smashing pumpkins album coming out in 2009
