Can we all just appreciate how often Billy Corgan and the whole Smashing Pumpkins Mecca DOES upload for us? Mad Respect 🖤🖤🖤

I love the fact that SP/WPC always has something for the fans to look forward to.

Just want to say thank you for all the great music!!

I met Billy at Webster Hall when I won tickets from Mypace and I was bummed out I didn’t bring a camera or get an autograph. I also got to hang out with his friend Yung Chen Lhamo, amazing Tibetan singer. But I had the best experience and good memories of that time. You’re the best Billy!!! Thank you for this! ❤️ you always.

That Zwan album is CRIMINALLY underrated - a beautiful album, and I will be first in line to get a Vinyl reissue or a CD if it is remastered.

As an audience member that saw you for the first time live a few years ago when you played a festival in Denmark, I LOVED that you played alot of new stuff alongside the older stuff. Hearing the old stuff was amazing, but it didn't end up being like a "Greatest hits" thing, which was good. It was so cool when you launched into that Tiberius intro. Hell yes.

All Hail the "33 song Monstrosity" with Rock dynamics! Hope to hear it by next year.

So happy to hear Billy is opening back up to releasing the other old album reissues, especially Zeitgeist and the Chicago Kid record.

It was a cool experience to watch this the first time! Sumerian Records is a great label!

I enjoyed Ash's commentary a lot! And Billy playing a BOBKAT?!?! So cool. Thank you for posting!

Holy Crap! Wow fuckin awesome conversation! Always been in love with the Pumpkins and Billy Corgan. A light in the dark. Just subbed to SUMERIAN RECORDS . The future is inhanced Thanks again 😎

Billy is so inspiring

All my life I waiting Machina Delux version 😎

I really enjoy Cyr. Telegenix is definitely my song of the year. I adore that one.

Zeitgeist, Zwan and TheFuckingFutureEmbrace? Fantastic news, man.

I'm with William. Don't drink out of plastic. Bottled water, yuk, unless it's contained in glass! Great chat! My Grandson is 4 and likes Pumpkins. I put on albums when he's visiting. When he's a little older I'll take him to see SP.

I am excited to hear the album live. Minerva still gives me chills when I put it on

The Future Embrace is an amazing album.

Love cyr excited for the next record

Thanks for the talk about writing originals. I feel you on that 100%

3:20 wait a minute, in the original liner notes for Pisces he said that Starla was named after a girl he met at a show once, except he later found out her name was Darla

Thanks for all the great info

💜💜💜 from Glasgow, buzzing

Love you all. Big fan from Algeria since the mid 90's. Keep up the good work guys.

Adore & Oceania are my favs..☺️♥️🔥

Lots of great bands today recording the old fashioned way. Wolf Alice, Fontanes DC, Idles, Inhaler and Royal Blood etc.

Awww can't believe I missed this!

I wish Billy would speak out about politics again. Things have never been crazier and we need Billy's voice in the fight!

VERY Exited about potential Chicago Kid project release. Hope they can work a deal. An Expanded Zwan would be cool as would the rest...

Zeitgeist reissue fuck yeah!

11:53 - this just made my year. Can't wait to hear some new Pumpkins riffing.

Billy seems cool af.

How do you relate Cyr to the pass albums and where would you rate this wonderful album? Sorry long question ☺️

OMG A SMASHING PUMPKINS UPLOAD

Zeitgeist Is one of the greatest albums ever made!

Love to you all 💜💜💜

will the smashing pumpkins 1992 live going to be available on streaming platforms

The insight on the future of the music business is right on I think. Peer to peer. Also I think WPC predicted circa Machina era that God was the last great frontier of rock. I think that is starting to happen at last. Check out the new Garbage album for starters.

i really really want a Machina / machines of god . reissue

i request a billy corgan chill session. come to maui and chill ill smoke you out in the clouds. my dad met you in a bar in honolulu in the 90s. but we have a lot we can talk about

I would always want to watch the band play their best set, the songs they play best.

YES PLEASE PUT THE FUTURE EMBRACE AND ZEITGEIST BACK ON STREAMING!

My favourite song has always been mayonnaise but the cyr is a good album,I just bought the vinyl today

Very cool

Please don't abandon #CyrCyries, Billy. 3 videos in 2 months is waaaaaay too little.

i want to chill with billy

zeitgeist remixed and on vinyl!!!! lets do it!!!

Zeitgeist is awesome!

Aí blz, cd as músicas!!

The Future Embrace was amazing Album

Why isn’t zeitgeist on streaming services

Holy F… a Zwan reissue with all the tracks that didn’t make the album in even the vaguest sense of mixed and mastered… a FutureEmbrace reissue with the Bits and so forth.. what I’d pay for studio versions of Cast a Stone and Tilt alone…

Anyone who missed the 07-08 Zeitgeist era shows missed one of the best setlists and tour the played

🤟🤟🤟

I won't probably get an answer but, just in case...what about Machina 2? Back then, when it was released online, many, many years ago, I remember spending so much time downloading the album because my internet connection was so slow in those days. Will Machina 2 ever be re-released? Also, I've seen so many different album covers, I'm still not sure which one is the "real" one of if there's even a "real" one.

just to cool....

Machina 2!!!!!!!!!

I love The Smashing Pumpkins! 🙂👍❤

I always had a feeling sunblock was causing more harm then good. Always listen to your instincts.

I haven’t even thought about what the music industry is like now. I listen to all older music- classic rock, grunge, 50’s, 60’s. I hate the music these days and the way older music is discovered is all through commercials, Netflix shows, movies and such. I mean are there great albums getting put out these days? Not really. Very few artists these days have I discovered to be worth listening to. it’s amazing to think where will the music industry lead to…. People need to find creativity in their own ways and become more present in life and maybe more people will find some talent. Lol

The JIMMY SHIMMY. LOL

👆✌️

lol what themes influenced CYR - well i looked at a pair of pants and thought aha

Thought he was gonna play something... 😞

lol he didn't like that wrestling question.

I would happily pay $500 for those reissues

Very cool of Billy to mention his ex wife Chris Fabian

Can't hear the guitar :(

The questionnaire isn’t even live for this Q and A so why do they both talk in third person? Weirdoes .

Yeah, you could have stopped at those records coming out. That was enough great news. I would also love to see a TBK collection as well.

I bought the Zwan album the same night I lost my virginity!! Can’t wait for that to resurface!

Chicago kid when is that seeing the light of day?!?

Some of the best albums ever made were done *without* Pro Tools.

Widespread Panic does not play greatest hits shows.. using the GD model.. no repeats for minimum 3 shows

I was wondering who tf he was 😆😆😆 Billy said what we were all thinking ☺️ Love you Billy, been a fan since I was 13 💖💖💖 Still want to have two daughters named Starla and Luna. I must be a fan haha 😘

my DaYDreaMydaYDream.......~*~

I dont know.He's done these Q & A's for years.Hes been talking about the Machina reissue for what 10 years now? It did make my day when he mentioned Massive Attack. The first two albums were the best.Mezzanine was OK for me though it seems to be the fan favorite.He must have been inspired by the later Massive Attack on Adore or even Cyr.Earlier Massive had this late night groovy jazzy feel but the newer Massive Attack is darker.I know one thing is for sure and that is you can never take Corgan at face value on these Q & A's in terms of the Reissues or announcements.Another thing he has had a bad habit of doing is talking up and hyping projects.Shiny had one good song and the rest was uninspired and I remember him saying it was a Pisces Iscariot type record.As far as the 33 song album goes I won't hold my breath.When he was talking about being the bad cop and producers not fitting the reality of what he wants didnt give me much hope for the 33 song album. Production has tanked his music for 15 years.I remember Kerry saying about 10 years ago Billy doesn't listen to anyone.I know its his vision but look at a song like Owata.Great track ruined by production.It doesn't give me much hope for this 33 song album (assuming its not shelved or abandoned).I just doubt if Billy can pull off the sonic diversity and ambition that would be required for it.Its a fair comcern because look at Teargarden.Remember that 44 song album? Never happened.10 songs in he abandoned it.Machina is another big album that years later after announced still hasnt been realized.Cyr suffers from the production issues that his work suffered now for 15 years.The Gish live stream was a mess.I was excited when he mentioned archive stuff but then he announced a vinyl of an early incomplete live show that may not even come out but you had to pay for at least 6 months in advance.For Billy being so concerned with how to get the music out this method seems so clunky when there's so much technology,resources and methods to get music to fans.Josh Rouse has been doing a couple monthly releases of unreleased songs on Patreon for example.Billy seems to pride himself on being in the cutting edge of things but in terms of the archival stuff he seems to be in the dark ages of 20 years ago of how do we get this out to the fans? Ive supported everything he's put out and have bought all the releases.But I as a fan feel like we are taken for granted at times. Machina reissue,Zwan reissue,Teargarden complete and Chicago Kid would be dreams come true.But with Corgans history dont count on him to deliver the resissues and new material.In spite of the years of frustration I still somehow enjoy hearing his insight in these interviews.

Billy's getting old so is everybody else in the band. I hope they can all squash their 20 year beef with D'arcy and just be a unit again. That would be nice to see...

Isn't he literally the evil record label man with the whole 360 deal crap?

Ash and Romina should probably just not say they're bound... Then it'll just be his ex-girlfriend. ;)

34:54 i want rock! but not the old stuff, the new creative stuff like sp is making. the music business is weird. p2p!

RE: Grammy Awards - Increasingly becoming irrelevant. Almost nobody watches or cares compared to the old days. That's a good thing.

Greatest hits shows are rubbish..
