It's surreal watching Steve Jobs interview The Emperor from Star Wars
koolstup he is more first order. Lol
with Ken Jeong
Hahah
Lmaaoo
Thank you so much for this...
Dude I came here knowing Corgan was gonna be the only one talking.
Did you expect different?
Well, the interviewer could have directed more questions at James or Jimmy...
Bad interviewer to not ask Jimmy or James questions... but let's be honest, Billy stole the spotlight back a few times. Not that any fan would expect anything different from him.
Kim Taura True..
Some things never change
James talks...
Billy: “if I could just jump in here”
hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahaha
Haha i caught that too.
Hahahajahahahs
Yeah but did you hear James? He was going no where, providing no insight, just half mumbling “yeah but it didn’t happen”. Billy talks way too much but James was going no where with that comment
@@philh7204 It is a chicken and egg type of thing though. Does James talk like that because he never gets to finish anything he says, or does Billy jump in because he senses James isn't really going anywhere? I have a friend who after the first sentence that I say jumps in on that, even if it was only something I was saying to set up context for what I wanted to say. After a while I just stopped trying to say anything meaningful or anything that required more than 8 words. There just was no point.
He is going through a divorce, and though he is mostly a great guy, I feel sorry for his wife if she had to live like that for 20 years. She probably stopped trying to talk with him years ago.
Billy looks like a Sith Lord
for me its Lord varys
Billy is a sith lord
Darth Corgan
He is.
vader can't play a six string
Legend has it billy is STILL talking and the room is empty .........
😂
Funniest thing I've read all day
HAHAHA
I wonder whether he knows he's overbearing?
@@valentinomiller6251if he knows he doesn't care, but more people should call him out on it nonetheless
20 years on and still waiting to hear the other two get to speak. The interviewer could of done more to share it around.
well, does james REALLY wanna speak? lol
@@tidalwave_music 26:00
yep, one sentence
@@tidalwave_music Well Billy cut him off after 3 words so we'll never really know. Don't act like you don't get my point. It's pretty easy to not "wanna" talk around Billy lol.
I’d say it’s more about the social dynamics within the band. Obviously Billy is the engine but you’d think James and Jimmy would be interested in contributing to the interview a little bit
D'arcy couldn't be there because the level of eye-rolling whenever Billy is waffling on, would potentially impact the Earth's rotation.
LOL
Like Superman turning time backwards?
Haha nice one
sydb does he wear the hoodie to hide the tinfoil?
that, and she looks like a frog now...
Title should be: "James Iha Interrupting Everyone For Half an Hour"
James IHA interrupting? You mean billy Corgan interrupting right?
wish we heard jimmy and james more. Especially James. Both intelligent guys and we always hear so much from Billy
The Billy Corgan Reunion [Full Interview]
Obeisant
You have me dying
Yeah, but in all fairness...the other two don't seem to have anything to say.
Michael B
True true. Still funny tho. I love the way the second someone talks, he goes - “can I just hop in here?” And starts talking. Too funny
@@FirstLast-xl4pf Oh, he loves to talk, no doubt about it :D
Nice how Billy identifies with himself so much and shows a real honest interest in his opinions.
William, Patrick, and Corgan sit down with Zane Lowe to discuss the Smashing Pumpkins reunion
😂😂😂
Billy could talk nonstop for...ever. James can tune out for...ever. I actually love James' deep voice. The interviewer didn't do a great job. Why did you invite three people while you only spoke to one?!
@ᴀ ɴ ɴ ᴀ ᴋ ɪ ɴ but time is NOW.. AND OLD TIMES are not now.....
I feel like the band kinda evolved that way into Billy speaking all the time.
Why the h*** didn't he try to encourage the other 2 to talk more? Or at all for that matter? Yup, definitely held hostage lol
The interviewer got dominated just like the other two band members. Corgan will dominate unless the interview controls. Of the ones I've seen online the only one who dominated him is Kennedy, from MTV back in the day. She ran the show. It's also why D'arcy is so missed (among other reasons). She would not have allowed this. She'd have interjected and eye rolled and other things to reel Corgan in a bit and even involve the other two.
i mean i’m a type of person who hates being put on the spot, so i’ll be hella happy if billy answered all the questions and i sat there quiet, gues i’m just anti social lol
People saying Billy is talking too much. James was asked a question and said ' I don't remember'. The dynamic works
[8:58] I can't speak for everybody. Really Billy?
Jimmy Chamberlin, greatest drummer of the era.
He played a great solo here
Totally agree with you, I have his style when I play my drums, but I’m still working to be as good as him...lol
I think him and Dave Grohl are tied
Honestly, one of the few drummers I can instantly recognize and has a great specific sound. Others are meh, generic in my ears
Jimmy C and Danny Carey
I really liked what James had to say here
The best part was then James uttered 5 words and Billy says, "Could I jump in here?" In reality, I don't fault him or the band for this, but the interviewer didn't ask the others any questions.
Honestly I think he's kind of a quiet guy at least that's my read. A lot of people here think that Billy isn't letting him talk but I'm not so sure he wanted to do a lot of the talking.
Lol
silence speaks louder then word's, he is saying "yup Billy is still taking all the credit" lol
@@feather6933 no he's not
Boss and two employees.
hardly, Billy needs James and Jimmy, he hates the fact that he needs them.If they're gone, so is the Pumpkins fanbase.
downtoearth x A boss needs his employees. Otherwise he’s not the boss.
@@downtoearthx9393 Thats true, but with good reason. Despite the fact that Billy wrote and arranged 98% of their music, the fans "identify" with James Iha because he was Asian and quiet and funny.
Jimmy Chamberlin is my favorite drummer of all time and a wonderful human, but the Pumpkins still existed without him. Adore was great, and Oceania is a modern masterpiece imo.
Kinda like slipknot now clown and corey own the name slipknot and the rest are hired musicians
@@downtoearthx9393 I don't think he hates that he needs them. Seeing them together now feels like they're a much more professional and functional unit now. They know what they want, obviously.
- James doesn't remember that.
- Darcy is still crazy
- Kill people with content
Completely disrespectful that the conversation completely leaves Jimmy and James out.
Daniel Barza partly the interviewers fault. Partly their fault for being silent.
billy corgan using the term “throwing shade” has got to be the most surreal thing i’ve ever heard
Billy: “if I could jump in here.....”
We pretty much expect you to.
🔥Facts!!!! 💯🔥
Corgan is a shy extrovert (yes, it's a thing) so in a situation like this he's going to talk incessantly. It's up to the interviewer to direct the questions in an inclusive way. That may have been a struggle with James, but Jimmy looked liked he had lots to say.
Nailed it. This was an interview, it'd make for a pretty boring interview if he didn't focus on the creative force behind the band. But for sure the interviewer should have done more to coax responses from James, and just outright give Jimmy some questions period (since he seems introverted but not to the point that he doesn't like to discuss things at length the way James is, which I like about James, he's kinda "mysterious" lol.)
James Iha needs to tone it down. Talking way too much
lol I really hope that's sarcasm.
He's always been like that
obvious
He's out of control.
yeeha never shuts up
I think something Billy should do between recording & touring is to start a music radio show where he's the host because he's a natural storyteller and he really knows the business. I'd def listen to that.
It can be called "The Mute Billy Button."
there'd be no need for any guests lol!
@@werideatdusk O ya he would take over lol
It now exists. Thirty-Three Podcast…
@@TheWayfarerFamily I know i'm geeked!
The story was the the band split because Billy was too domineering. Having just watched him speak for 27 of the 29 minutes I can't understand why anyone ever thought that.
Well, who else besides a TH-cam comment section would know the full truth of the band's inner dynamics?
Some band members dont like talking. There is always a spokesman/woman
@@corey3107 well, Billy constantly interrupts his bandmates whenever they try to talk.
His songwriting made them all millionaires. Poor babies.
Matt Kaz so it wasn’t drugs ? Or the fact that 2/4 band members did drugs ?
Good that the host acknowledges that Jimmy and James are sitting there!
Three great news:
1. They've recorded an album together!
2. Machina is getting a box-set re release!
3. There are 100s of songs yet to be released!
My second time watching a Billy Corgan interview. Probably the last... I want to continue liking the Pumpkins.
Why don't you like him? He's a legend man
@@mustardpikachu3597 he talks too much and he’s annoying
Lol
From the start, why wasn't the band called The Billy Corgan Experience?
kflexpimp Billy corgan and the infinite sadness
Siamese Billies. Joined at the wrist.
All the hit singles are named Billy.

Side B: The Billy is the Billy is the Billy (backwards)
That guitarist fellows hair is still on point.👍
Love the fact that Billy likes Alice in Chains and Jerry ! :D
Jerry is god. Jerry still has that magic. Corgan still wants that collab to happen
Layne Staley was Billy Corgan’s favorite singer of the 1990’s. In an interview Billy has stated the one song he wishes he would’ve written himself was “Down In A Hole” by Alice In Chains. Plus The band is great to their fans and never acted like they were above anyone cause of the fame. It’s truly a pity Layne died before Alice In Chains could collab with Smashing Pumpkins.
Zane needed to realize that Billy was going to dominate the conversation and that he needed to find ways to get James and Jimmy in on the interview. Billy getting the lion's share of the air time is understandable, but people want to hear from the other members as well. If you don't have a game plan going into the interview, Billy is going to take over the whole thing. Just by nature.
I'd really love to sit down with James for about 2 hours and talk mostly about his solo albums, his experience in the Pumpkins and then with other bands. I've seen a lot of interviews with James and none of the interviewers have really seemed to do him justice.
James clearly wasn't interested in talking.
James or Jimmy: takes a breath
Billy: “if I could just jump in there”
🔥Facts!!!! 💯🔥
It’s cool hearing these interviews answers the questions I had about the band, for so many years
Speechless with excitement!! Screaming inside while I watch this at work. Loved the concert, to see the band together and happy so wonderful!! It was my first time seeing them play. Made me wanna cry! I'm so ecstatic and so happy for what's to come!! Bursting!!!
Great interview, goes without saying. As much as I know billy is the mouthpiece of the band, I do hope that we get to hear more from Jimmy as this journey continues. I can’t be the only one who desires to hear his perspective on everything. Jimmy as well. Their stories are what I want to hear now more than ever.
Seconded.
and Jimmy!
Hate to say it because a lot of times Corgan comes off as an ass, but let's be real. Corgan is much more insightful so the interviewers will focus on him to get the most interesting tidbits of information. The difference now is he's finally realizing how important the other band members are to the overall creative process. I don't know what went on behind the scenes with their most recent songs, but based on the reactions and looks on the faces of the other guys, Corgan probably accepted their creative input. They actually had smiles on their faces.
Henry TheGreatAmerican - Corgan may be more insightful in general, but he isn’t more insightful regarding what prompted the others to participate in the reunion, how THEY feel about the record and so on. I’ve worked with James, he definitely has opinions about his place in the band then and certainly now. Would be nice if they were heard more.
Remember when Letterman interviewed Page, Plant and Paul Jones during their reunion. Dave took answers mainly from Page & Plant while PJ sat mostly silent. Then Dave started asking rather inane Zeppelin future work together n’ such where every Page & Plant answer was “No” - then JP says “How many NO’s do you want?”
Was hilarious and it got the biggest cheers from the audience aside from them walking out onto the set. Sometimes it doesn’t take being incredibly articulate to be insightful or at least give a entertaining interview
Don't forget about Jimmy!
One of the most beautiful bands ever 💕💕💕✨✨✨ Thankyou for this
Im grateful for the reunion, but it would be so much sweeter with D'Arcy...
let's be real, women are much more judged by looks in showbusiness. if she's not okay with her appearance, good thing she's not there right now. just think of all the "positive feedback" she'd get from the audience. i bet it would even overshadow the music
@@gc8972b Audience would be happy to see her. She's a women in her early to mid 50s now, nobody expects her to be a bombshell. I bet she looks more or less fine these days btw.
@@gc8972bshe actually wanted in on the reunion but Billy didn't, he ghosted and gaslit her on sms
This was a great interview. Thanks so much.
So great to hear so much from Jimmy and James!
Soo glad to see that they are together again .. hope D'arcy will join them some time !
1979 is my favorite song of all time
So Stoked that James and Jimmy are back with Billy...Guys changed my life for the better...The Magic is back ladies and gents...
SAW THEM IN SAN DIEGO! BEST CONCERT EVER!!!! thank you guys for such great music and inspiring me in so many ways!
This should be called a Billy Corgan interview...
I hang on every word Billy speaks...he is soo insightful and intelligent...I just love him!!!
Loved the interview. Can't wait for the Machina release.
Does anyone consider maybe James doesn't really want to talk? Not everyone wants to tell "their story". Or share their intimate thoughts and feelings to millions of people. Besides, he expresses himself quite well through his guitar
And that’s perfectly fine. But the boys always stick with each other even just as a backup.
As much as I absolutely admire Billy’s artistry and talent, as well as love each and every one of the original Smashing Pumpkins lineup, its always perplexed me how he was ever able to maintain any relationships within his musical career while suffering from his apparent control freak complex. I am not going against him, as I believe I am very much a creative control freak. It just has always made me wonder how someone like myself has had close friends.
I do wish the interviewer specifically asked Jimmy and James questions. I mean they had a half hour segment. It’s not totally Billy’s fault here. Nevertheless, I am so happy to see them all (or most of them) back together again.
I came here to hear James speak
I was at the lollapalooza show at pine knob. I wasn't put off by it. I was a skater and on the outskirts of popularity anyway at the time. I could relate.
Great interview. I started to get teary eyed when Billy was talking about how he is unable to look at the photo montage of him as a child while playing Disarm. But yeah, good job Zane.
It's cute that they put a microphone in front of James
“the music was greater than we were” great point by. Corgan,all the truly great bands have that trait.
read this as he said it. cool.
i love you guys! saved my life multiple times... feels weird to be so happy... highly unusual... zane is the best interviewer ever.
Best growing up as a teen listening to smashing pumpkins thanks for the great music throughout the years:) born 1979
Everyone still always gravitates toward Billy and focus on dialogue with him. The other band mates are always just sitting, mostly in silence. He mentioned that this was one of his mistakes in the past where he sort of never included his mates in interviews or magazine covers, and he still does it. I love how he said once that ego is overdressed insecurity. How true. Love him, though. He is my spirit animal.
28:21
"Hundreds of songs"
'In various states?'
"...Finished"
Goosebumps.
Absolutely!!! They're is so much warmth and love in Smashing Pumpkins music. This band saved my life. And still listening!!!! Love you SMASHING PUMPKINS.
Awesome interview, staying true and rocking on. Laughed so hard (Love in an elevator) at James. Legendary still my fave all time music every album every solo every song.. True pumpkins fan
Good interview, I could listen to Billy for hours. I hope they get enough out of this record and tour to want to continue together, as the are one of the greatest rock acts and boy do we need a great guitar band about now!
this is my favorite band at its BEST!
Wow, what an interview! And all that unreleased content, to be able to hear MOR from every era of The Smashing Pumpkins, its tear endicing =)
My fav band of the 90’s.Saw the Mellon Collie Tour here in Melbourne,Australia,blown away,my two fav decades of music 70’s and 90’s.
Jimmy has an amazing drumsound ,jazzy vibe and feel I love and Billy’s distorted tone but his songwriting,incredible.
Mellon Collie was like “grunge” prog rock,Thru The Eyes Of Ruby,Porcelina,goosebumps.
Geek USA ,Quiet,Cherub Rock,timeless Siamese Dream songs.
Jimmy’s drumming and Billy’s guitar fit together like burgers and fries.
Pisces,Whir,such a beautiful piece of music and Machina,the greatest rock album to be listened while driving through the Aussie bush.
Nice interview - but let James and Jimmy say SOMETHING!
The interviewer could have done a better job directing questions to J and J. There is a way to conduct a multi person interview and not directing questions is his fault. He should say James let me ask you this or Jimmy ?
So good 🙌🏻💕
Billy, you are so smart and such a wonderful poet, artist, and person who lived through the same period I did. I heard the Smashing Pumpkins then and now I still hear you only in a different way, I hear what you are saying. I was there too and I am still here now!
Couldn't help but roll my eyes when he made the reference that his generation "came out of a very repressed time." Untruth paired with a massive amount of self-importance. Billy also STILL has a chip on his shoulder about Gish getting overshadowed by Seattle Grunge.
But yes, I still have most of their albums, and appreciate the music they made.
Maybe if sp had a better lead singer as a person
"i cant speak for the band, so i'm going to speak for the band"
So great to have an interviewer who is a mega fan of the band so he/she can give an actual solid itnerview.
Zeitgeist was (& still is) a very underrated album! Great interview, btw! \m/
Music is more magical than most think!!! =) A very small percentage of ppl can even play an instrument proficiently, much less write, record, and perform as a career! Im very happy to be part of that club!
3 people....2 barely talking.....and Billy is always using "we" lol.
He sounds like a corporate CEO being interviewed.
Billy Corgan is like that kid nobody liked because he was so good. Then he never developed social skills so when grew up he didn’t know how to act. I still love SP!!!
I like Billy the way he thinks and speak up for the band. Thanks Billy for making great songs for us.
"Me me me me me me me" - Billy Corgan
He has a big ego.
All great musicians do. Kurt Cobain did too.
@ Zwerewolf (who incorrectly wrote, ""Me me me me me me me" - Billy Corgan"):
No no no no no no. Billy Corgan was, in fact, inclusive, saying 'we/us' the majority of the time.
That said, Mr. Corgan could have done with a bit of 'passing the mic' to his bandmates.
Does he have a big ego because he has a low self esteem, or a low self esteem because he has a big ego.
Butch Vig has described Billy as someone struggling with his insecurities.
Zwerewolf whys it his fault they only ask Billy the questions??
Smashing pumpkins and Nirvana are the sounds of my childhood thank good my parents had good taste in music.
Thirteen minutes into the video and Billy says "if I could jump in here". 😂
What a wonderful interview with ...Billy Corgan.
26:00 James was just about to say 'to be honest...', about the relief of foregoing the idea of recording a concept album that would have put him and Jimmy under a Billyocracy, again, when he was interrupted by Billy, again. Interesting interview, but a little less Billy. And to those who think James is naturally quiet or not talkative, watch his Rig Rundown for A Perfect Circle - guy's affable and hil-la-rious!
Oh yeah, he is hilarious. I didn't know this kind of video existed. got to see it now.
James surprisingly does most of the talking to the crowd during their tour. Funny guy. But since in interviews billy does most of the talking we find it surprising
I would've liked more input from James and Jimmy as well. By the way, I have a print of that beautiful Stanley Donwood painting that I see in the background of your profile icon. :-)
It was Zane who said "to be honest", not Iha.
He didn't say it
it's not a reunion without D'Arcy. Four members Corgan, Iha, Chamberlin and Wretzky
Very cool that Jeff was mentioned and got props. I'm glad he's still in the band. He can really play!
I love the music on this band first 3 albums to a degree that I won't diminish by trying to verbalize. Hey billy... as i was listening to you speak, a pretty cool title for that new album spontaneously popped into my head "cryptic and the intangible analogy"....
28:01 The moment we, the fans, were waiting for! Please kill me with content!!!!!!! Thanks so much SP
Hot diggity damn
This made my day 😭🔥❤️
Alexandra L Bring on the archives!!!
Well whoopdy doooo, this made Alexandra's day.... bring out the chocolate ice cream & spicy anchovies
Zane loves his own voice. I'd rather lars did this interview. I can listen to Billy for hours though.
Great interview
Great insightful interview... Not quite enough Jimmy and James tho...
are you surprised? lolol
i don’t think it’s billy’s fault. it seems james and jimmy just prefer to let him do most of the talking. they did interject a few times.
@@AltCTRLF8 26:00 ? Save that. They just know to stay in their lane by now
It should be titled: Billy Corgan Full Interview.
Still feels incomplete without D’arcy 😢
Great interview !
Great interview. Billy Corgen is an amazing song writer.
Never knew D'arcy suffered that badly from stage fright. It was never really discused before.
I'd take anything Corgan says on Wretzky with a grain of salt.
@@winkmurder yes but I tend to believe that bit, at least about early on in their time. you look at those old metro shows and early shows and she's barely moving, looking down at her feet, etc.
James favorite quote “I don’t remember”
So Stoked that the Pumpkins are BACK and Better than ever. They DON'T need the Past back!! Talking about DW (ex; Bassist), They Made magic back then and they are still making it today Better Than Ever...James, Jimmy, Jeff & Billy, Keep expressing your emotions through your music and will all act them out driving in our cars where ever we all seem to go....xoxoxo...
I am so happy for this.....
thank you for each of your roles in life and the band....again and again. :D
Even after all the decades of listening to them, every song, every music video and interview I could get my hands on, I am still inspired by each and every story I hear from the reunion tour. I love having truly grown with this band and seeing how they have also matured. The tour was an overwhelming dump of vivid memories and feelings. I can't thank you all enough for pulling together to make this tour happen. Therapeutic beyond words.
James isn´t allowed to talk to this day.
At first i thought ooh this is a long videoclip, but then hearing them speak thourroully it just makes sense, These guys are real heroes of music ,that shaped me when i while growing up.. Regards..Respect!
Legend! So jazzed they are together!
MY FAVORITE BAND EVER!!!
