Jimmy looks so healthy and happy, we are very lucky to have him with us
Elsolra Saul Definitely!
@@holotape yeah its really to bad D'arcy didnt follow jimmys lead and get clean.
I couldve swore he was dead. I for some reason had it in my head he died in the late 90s and only just recently learned otherwise
@@KingSlimjeezy Mandela effect?
@@KingSlimjeezy You may be thinking of Jonathan Melvoin, Smashing Pumpkin's touring keyboardist who died of a heroin overdose which Jimmy Chamberlain was largely responsible for.
I kept waiting for Billy Corgan to bust through the wall like the Kool Aid Man...
@Christmas house OOOOOHHH YEEEEEAHH
If I could interject here for a sec
Great comment!!
Lol
LOL!
Billy Corgan talking in interviews is cool and all
but when James and Jimmy are in interview together, oh man they got my full attention! 🖤🖤🖤
Jin Kazama I agree we don’t really get to see these guys talk much.
@Careful Icarus I don't care who's more clever and who's not. all i'm saying is seeing Jimmy and James partake in an interview is as interesting as Billy's interviews!
@Blia Yang exactly
Jin kazama yeah ahahah..
I can only picture James with his Ava Adore suit. Dude owned the shit out of that thing.
Yeah that was rad
More of James and Jimmy.
James is so funny. I’m really happy these guys are back together.
Jimmy Chamberlain is a legend and an inspiration, as a fellow drummer, and James’ contributions to the band are incredible, his work on the Aeroplane Flies High box set are some of my favorite songs of all-time
I own that from when it 1st available. I hear it’s a collectors item
I have heard more words come out of Jame's mouth in these 5 minutes than the last 20 hours of interviews the Smashing Pumpkins has been in (no doubt due to the presence of Corgan).
Frankly he never speaks. He is socially awkward. I don't mean that in a bad way. That really has little to do with Corgan himself beyond the fact that WPC seems to enjoy speaking and James is the opposite so it stands to reason if you put the two together you are gonna get a bunch of Corgan talking. I've seen interviews with them all together and they are more than happy to let Corgan do the talking. He doesn't impose silence on them by his speaking tho. James clearly doesn't ever want to talk.
Jimmy - one of the greatest drummers ever
The best !!
I wish James can have some solo songs on a new SP Album like "The Boy".
Jimmy looks amazing how the fuck does he look so good. James has a wonderful speaking voice. I could listen to him talk forever.
Nice to see an interview without Billy for a change.
Jimmy, you're so skinny now.. wow.😊 James, you never aged since 1999.wow.😊
My forever crush❤
You both mean so much to me. Thank you so much for everything.
I saw the pumpkins on lollapalooza in 94 and loved hearing Gish and Siamese Dream! Both records are pure HEAVEN! Billy, James, Darcy, and Jimmy doesn’t get better than that! I’m not gonna lie: I REALLY MISS DARCY BEING IN THIS BAND 💔
Jimmy looks 20 pounds lighter and it seems to have transferred to James. Jimmy looks and is playing better than ever.
I’m glad he got thru his troubles and got out the other end healthy. James is still very funny with his dry wit.
Jesus, James hasn't aged
Wow I get to listen to James for once. They should keep Billy out of all the interviews.
Fr, it’s nice to here James voice for once
Im a huge fan of Corgan artistry and I think he's a really smart and well spoken guy. But you're right, he grabs all the airplay in interviews
So relaxed when billy isn't around
James Iha is the most adorable human on the planet ❤️
I love chamberlin! I didnt know that until this interview. Never seen him look happier and healthier and usually hes quiet so its a pleasure to hear him speak! :)
Jimmy is the best! Love his drumming!
Jimmy looks phenomenal for a former heroine addict
As are many of the greatest musicians, for some reason. Glad he's clean and D'Arcy too. I love SP's music but probably would only get along with Billy IRL, nowadays.
@@ocd000 I think it’s that artists tend to be very sensitive, and opiates kind of dull the intensity of the world (speaking as a former addict myself)
@@taffysaur I think it's definitely more projected inwards. It's a selfish habit for most people. We continue to do it because of our inability to cope with normal everyday human interactions.
Heroin actually doesn't age you. It's the other drugs they take that affect your physical appearance.
@@ocd000
I wouldn’t count on D’Arcy being clean. Maybe from drugs, but she is rumoured to be an alcoholic.
Observation 1: It's basically an interview with Jimmy.
Observation 2: James doesn't age!!
Wow james and jimmy look happier when Billy isnt around.
Jimmy is such a inspirational story. He looks so healthy after years of major drug addiction. Still one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. He was Whiplash 20 years before the film!
This band is so fun in interviews. They are articulate, insightful, and authentic when they answer.
been a pumpkin head for over 25 years. i love you guys!!! cant wait to hear the next stuff with the original lineup (minus darcy gretsky) with billy on the gish guitar that he got back with my favorite lead guitarist and drummer. im stoked man. THE SMASHING PUMPKINS FOREVER!!!!
They even manage to put on a smile when Billy Is not around...
I can't wait to hear their new music!
"Do you miss Darcy?", that would have been a nice question.
im sure they have only heard that question about a hundred times. i dont think its a quesrion they would entertain.
James is all over the place it's great lol
You can hear the intelligence pour out of these two great musicians
You both are the reason i being a fans of SP..
Thanks..take care and stay safe..
We love you guys..
Jimmy's drumming is so distinct and incredible. He makes The Smashing Pumpkins sound great as much as Billy Corgan does.
Wow.... Jimmy looks and sounds so good!! He's very lean, but again... So healthy looking and happy 🤗
I miss Darcy! But it's great seeing these 2 OGs back in the band.
Jimmy is looking in fighting shape! What a got-damned inspiration!
Happy Jimmy got clean, looks so much better guy is a goat behind the set
This is great seeing James Iha finally getting a chance to speak about the band. Pretty much everything I've seen is Billy. I know people gain weight more than not when they age, but it's still kinda weird seeing James with a little pudge on his body cuz he was such a twig when I'd see him perform with the band. Still looks great just sayin.
Finally, with Billy not a part of this one, Awkwafina and Tig Notaro can share their perspectives.
cant tell you how dam entertaining this was to me being a long time pumpkin fan !!!
Fuck yeah! Jimmy looks great!
Let's see how it long it takes Billy to fuck this up again with his callous Narcissism.
I really wanted them to say "Hey, I'm Jimmy Iha...and I'm James Chamberlin."
Wow, jimmy looks great and healthy for his age. He really sorted himself out
KISS Rules !!! 💋
These guys are a legend
can't believe they can talk
Never seen James laugh before
jimmy chamberlin has not aged
Yes! Need more of this
James Iha doesn't look like he was born in 1968
jimmy forever!
I need more of this interview!! 😀
Great interview!
i miss d'arcy
Wow thank you for this
James has not changed at all 🤣🤣
It seems like as Jimmy gets older, he seems to physically appear younger 👌🏻
JIMMY AND JAMES AT LEAST, AT LAST !!!! BC is besides for awhile !!! OUFF !! So happy YES to have JI and JC back to the SP !!! So thanks !!!
Very refreshing to hear these two have some opinions as opposed to Billy monopolizing conversations. Both are intelligent and insightful and my respect for Jimmy increased tenfold when he disclosed that he loves cats.
Taylor Hawkins and Jimmy have been only a few drummers from past interviews, giving kudo's to a great rock drummer, unknown to most; Bobby Caldwell. Bobby had a short recording career, which has confused me to this day. Could be just bad luck??? Johnny Winter And "Live" 1971 Then Captain Beyond 1972, self titled. 1973 on most of Rick Derringers All American Boy record. then 1975 a great band, only one record, Armageddon, then in 1977 a reformed Captain Beyond 3rd album. Then that was it! A very talented drummers, with great rudimental chops.
Jimmy looks great! He looks you get than Billy and James. Getting clean is great like that
People dont know Jimmy is one of the best drummers ever.
this is sooo cool
Monster drummer
Hang on...is this a Billy-Corgan-less interview? JESUS F**K! They get to finally have some of the spotlight! For a change. Sharing is caring, BILLY.
U 2 are awesome, Jimmy is the best drummer ever, James is just James...on the good way. Almost 30 years and u stay on my top daily playlist bros. Thanks.
Oh my god, are Jimmy and Billy on good terms again? I'm forever a fan, but I've been out of the loop for a few years. Someone fill me in please.
Jimmy has been officially in the band since 2017 (same with James). The album they released in 2018 wasnt that good imo, but they have a new one set to come out in a few months.
@@TheAlibabatree I actually meant to say James in my original comment. Thanks for the response. I'm glad to see most of the original band on good term with each other after all these years.
@@thebluethunderbunny2324 Yeah, i dont know if they're best buds or anything, but they seem to have been able to put aside their differences and be professional.
I saw them live in 2018 and it was the best show ive seen in years, they were tighter than ever.
@@TheAlibabatree That's super dope. The story of the Smashing Pumpkins is sad. Seeing them get old is depressing and reminds me of my own mortality. I'm glad they were able to work things out. Life is too short.
Jimmy was brought on as a drummer for a tour in 2015. When the next tour came, Jimmy was the touring drummer. During that tour, James was invited on stage. After the tour, Jimmy was brought back as a full member, as was James. It's great to have the Pumpkins back and making great music again.
Theyre a comedy pair, really 😊
Both of em look great! Check Jimmy out!!
lol , i dont even remember when james spoke
Jimmy looks like Jeff Goldbloom in the thumbnail.
You can't Unsee now. Go ahead try....😂
Best band in the world
I was wondering how after Jimmy was fired from pumpkins for heroin addiction/overdose, when he was with the keyboardist overdosed and died with him.
How/when did Jimmy come back so quickly with Billy Corgan/SP? Just after SP broke up & James Iha & Darcy were gone Jimmy came back?
Or did Billy get him back after Jimmy got sober?
Really just wondering how that happened? Did Billy just really need Jimmy because they were the 2 that recorded the songs together on all the albums not James or Darcy
Jimmy rejoined the band in 1999 to record Machina. After that, Billy broke up SP and formed a new band called Zwan. Jimmy also played with them.
Then, in 2006, Billy reformed the SP name, and Jimmy once again played on the new album Zeitgeist.
They had a strong relationship for many years, but had a falling out in 2009. But, Jimmy once again came back around 2015, and has been officially in SP since 2017.
Its a complicated story lol. But if you havent heard any of those previous records i mentioned, i highly recommend them, they are all great.
James is one of the best melodic players and Jimmy is in the top 3 drummers of all time.
damn James has so much hair volume it ridiculous LOL
Billy fired them because they did an interview without him
So good to see a SP interview without the self-absorbed Billy Corgan point of view
Is that Gator Golf on the table?
It’s amazing. Jimmy looks like he lost weight, while James looks like he packed a little lol.
i'd pay good money to go to D'arcy's farm and see the set art from Tonight Tonight. Too bad she went off the deep end
Money gives freedom to do more of what you want. They seem to be seeing bands traveling etc.. sues paid and now reap rewards
James seems so quiet.. I guess that works with Billy’s opinionated, talkative personality
My hero’s!! Jimmy was one of my first fav drummers and I was always jealous I couldn’t play 1% as good lol.
haha i love this !!!
"hey isn't that cool"
Do you want to tell us something about your new album?
the laugh at minute 2:13 says it all thank you.
Darcy is still missing 😢
Billy should allow them to talk more...If that's possible.
Jimmy got a killer hair transplant
😭🤗👍
what tour are they talking about? when was this interview recorded? there are no tours now, everyone is quarantined lol
I think this is old. They are talking about the reunion and they had a festival coming up. But all of that is cancelled now.
We need more interviews without Billy dlsakjdlsakj
Socionarcism i like that phrase
Great to hear the pumpkins without Billy for once
didnt Jimmy said once that James and Darcy were in the band just because of their looks? ... the hypocrisy
Really cool to hear them talk. I love love love smashing pumpkins but I've lately been listening to Billy Corgan interviews and he has been ruining his music for me... Which is tough because I really like his music.
lol how
@@horrifyingcat Just as an example, in politics he hates all sides. Billy Corgan thinks the Republican and Democrat parties are equally terrible and won't pick a side. It's like he hates everything, sometimes you just have to ignore him when he talks. Depends on what mood he's in. Sometimes he comes off as a great guy, sometimes he's full of hot air.
Will never understand how people let an artists opinions ruin their music for them..
lol he's 100% right about that
@@NinjaMatt2201 Billy’s just a free thinker, that’s what I love about him.
Jeff Goldblum is one of the greatest drummers ever
Looks nothing like him!!!
@@nderohanIts the smile, eyes, and ears.
