Billy Corgan is a very intelligent, articulate man and I can hear it in Smashing Pumpkins music.

Siamese Dream will always be THE album that always have a very special place in my heart.

I was 15 when Mellon Collie released. Billy is talking about being 55 in this interview.
I normally don’t care for my age but damn, now I’m thinking about all the years that have passed.

I love Billy’s answers about social media and technology in the music industry, unexpected from someone of his age and considering his formidable career

[MarcioNovelli]

This is my favourite Pumpkins song of all time… and one of my all time favourite songs in general.

I want to have Billy do audio books, his voice is great

I saw Billy and the Pumpkins at the Spectrum in Philly during the Melon Collie tour in the 90s. I still have a concert T and the ticket stub 😊

8:11 How he talks about Jimmy is awesome. They've been through it all, and it's love and respect.

Smashing Pumpkins are ingrained into my youth. Your music still hits all the rights spots. I can close my eyes and see the album cover for "Mellon collie and the infinite sadness". Thank you!

December of 1995 I was 11 hanging out in our garage after bedtime, in the dark, listening to the radio on the Walkman. I was playing with my bike, turning the pedal and watching the wheel spin when I hear "Up next, a new one from the Smashing Pumpkins!" It got my attention because I already liked the song from them that came out a few months eariler.
The opening strings hit, the snare drumming, the cinematic score, the melody, the guitars... it was so undescribably beautiful. It replaced my favorite song at the time, Bohemian Rhapsody when it finished. I knew immediately that The Smashing Pumpkins were MY band, and that I needed to start finding more of their music.
This is one of my favorite memories from childhood. They have been my all time favorite band ever since.

I love how certain Billy is about music.

[davidrenner]

I always find Billy entertaining and really interesting. He's so intelligent and very talented. So glad he sat down with Rick.

[vaughanjones]

Smashing Pumpkins is such a fondly remembered part of my youth.

[amanrob]

I remeber watching the MTV awards around that time and they did it live on that show. I just remember how mesmerized I was watching it. Amazing song in general.

[RobertTevault-bn]

Billy Corgan seems comfortable in his skin at this age than ever before. It's like he was always this age.

[simoperini]

I think kids are always gonna gravitate towards Nailed it!
