I know it’s a big ask, but i wish he’d do this for the whole discography.
Blinkus Fishus I bring good news: he is doing all the albums from smashing pumpkins/solo!
@@elliotsteeves112 that is great news! I'm anxious to hear Billy talk about soma, silverfuck and bodies!!
Hope your right! I appreciate that this dude take time out of his day/family life to make story telling vids!
@@elliotsteeves112 just the albums? I'd wish he'll talk about b-sides as well... Include Mashed potatoes and Gravity for all I care ...
Hope this happens, I’m curious about his thoughts about Machina
Man I think I could listen to Billy talk about recording songs all day long.
Yep
I can't wait for Siamese dream album breakdown
The Pumpkins had such a huge impact on my life. They were one on the first bands that I as a 12 year old kid had discovered on my own (without someone introducing me to them) and I clearly remember that for the first time in my life my emotions & even my soul have been so intensely affected & touched by music. Thank you Pumpkins for being a friend for all these years.
Ditto!
Snail is one of the greatest songs ever written. Life is short and precious, Chase the sunshine!
'Crush' is one of the best songs he wrote.
Yes!
And ‘bodies’
Fun bass line, check out my cover video of it. :)
yyyyyeesss
This and snail are my favorite off Gish
"Gish" is my favorite Pumpkins record. I liked it because it sounded like very unique heavy metal more so than alt rock.
Sup dude, saw you in Meat Puppets Comment sections (or R.E.M. idk)
Wasn't Billy playing in a metal band prior to Pumpkins? Makes sense Gish would be more metal sounding. Which I dig
@@daveg4236 No, he was playing in The Marked. New Wave
Yes. Absolutely.
@@void0094 probably REM. Much bigger REM fan than i am Meat Puppets. Murmur is their best record but Tales of the Reconstruction is my personal favorite.
Always love your music my mom was a huge fan before she died of cancer but yeah I’m gonna keep her legacy life absolutely amazing work brother keep up the awesome work
who?
As a fan since the release of siamese dream it surprises me that out of the whole pumpkins catalog, gish is the album I listen to the most. There is something so beautiful and pure about it. It's sacred.
Yes
Same here.
Hi Billy, just wanna say that Mellon Collie changed my life when it was released. Thanks! The only SP concert I've been to was Sao Paulo 1998.
Two sold out buses departed from my city Porto Alegre to a 18 hours a leg round trip do Sao Paulo just for the show.
I spent the summer of 1996 backpacking through Southeast Asia. I had a cassette player with me and room for about 10 cassettes in my pack, kind of a "desert island" scenario. Gish was one of them and despite listening to it countless times that summer I never got sick of it. I can still listen to "Snail" over and over again.
I would love to hear more about the Pisces Iscariot cd, "Obscured" particularly!
Such a beautifully song leaves you wondering what it’s about to billy at the end
You have a great ear! Obscured is so good.
Whirr
@@amremorse awesome! Pisces has some serious deep tracks
Omg that album makes me feel like im ascending from earth 🚀
Please keep posting deep dives
Hardcore fan here. First saw the Pumpkins at Lollapalooza '94 in Toronto. By then I had already listened to Siamese Dream and Gish on cassette to death.
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
I really hope Billy does a deep dive for Siamese Dream really soon. I listened to the entire Deep Dive for Gish on Insta a few hours ago and it was so fascinating to listen to.
The thing is, I think diving into songs like Disarm, Soma, and Today for a deep dive for Siamese Dream are going to be difficult for Billy to talk about. Those are some serious songs that hit close to home for Him. But I think He knows it's necessary to do so.
Thank you so much for this. I was so happy to discover this from YT's recommendations algorithm. Such a lovely surprise.
William Patrick Corgan Jr. Thank you for all the work you have done! I have made many wonderful memories listening to your music. I kissed my first girl listening to 1979! Siamese Dream and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness are my all time favorite albums!
I love the pumpkins so much, always have!! The first time I heard them I was supposed to be asleep but I was listening to my Walkman in my bedroom and I heard "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" and I was HOOKED forever!!!! 🎃🎃
That's the song that got me.. played on JJJ in Australia and I was like, "who tf is this band ?!", even though my older brother had Siamese Dream. 90's were so good..
@@matt79hz yessss !! They really were 😭😭😭 I was so happy when I finally recorded it off the radio on to my tape!!! I must have listened to it thousands of times!!!!! I got the CD later on but I needed to have it asap!!! 🎃💖
@@matt79hz Can't believe I missed the 90's ;(
@@thytoe awww well luckily you can listen to all the wonderful music now from that time whenever you want !! But growing up during that time was truly amazing ... kids these days have no idea what they are missing out on... by having everything at their fingertips. Its so different now!
@@TaraBrownBeautyandBody Yep I'm glad that I can at least listen to the music. I'd gladly give up our technology to grow up in the nineties. Consider yourself lucky! life sucks growing up these days.
Janes Addiction paved the way!!!!
I wish to see you one more time in México, I saw you in 98, in the Palacio de los Deportes, you are my favorite Singer, I Love your Music! I Remember when I was living in highland Park Illinois, and I saw you in the Miramar Restaurant in Highwood and you gave me your Autograph on my Cd Adore. Greetings from Mexico City!!!
Can't even imagine life without this band, waaay underrated. Cheers Billy and the Pumpkins, total genius stuff.
I know....so many years of constant listening
Our band in the 90s played so much Pumpkins that we could've been a tribute band, lol. Mostly Siamese stuff though (no tab book for Gish haha)...
Absolutely not underrated.
Keep Rockin Billy 👍🍺
I must've played the first two LPs several hundred times in the early 90's. Great stuff. Definitely influenced my musical direction as a drummer.
It's surprising to hear him say they didn't have a lot of songs and ideas because there is some real pre-Gish gems out there. I mean, some of their best songs are pre-1991!
SP was the favorite band of my late teens. I am 39 now, my tastes are quite different today, but SP will always be in my heart as the soundtrack of my youth ❤️
a.m. remorse About 11-12 years ago I discovered country music which I guess became the love of my life. During the last few years I’ve also acquired a strong taste for jazz. Lately I surprisingly found myself hooked on chillhop (aka lofi beats, jazzhop). However my ‘go-to’ music is still country. And what are your musical interests nowadays?
gish was/is/was/is insane, one of my fave albums.
I (re) discovered siamese dreams and gish last summer and it inspired me to start playing guitar again after years of burnout.
thank you for doing this Bill! This is a classic album.
Jimmy Chamberlain blew every drummer away with his playing on Gish. His fast rolls, ghost note groove and cymbal/snare accents were epic!. I was a jazz drum geek who loved to play that style with Rock and Jimmy took me to drum heaven upon hearing his playing on the legendary Gish album
A former Chicago resident, during the “hey day,” huge fan (...still am...), many shows seen, etc.-I saw you last in OKC a couple of summers ago, amazing! More videos like these-! Very interesting! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
(And I’d read the book, Billy. 😏)
What book is he referring to?
Just finished watching all the GISH Deep Dive videos with each track playing along. Very cool. Thank you.
Long time Pumpkins fan here! I love all your music so much. All your albums are so unique and Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness is my all time favorite! I hope to see more videos like this with you speaking to us and sharing your memories and history of more songs that you wrote! ❤️
Mellon Collie and the infinite Sadness ❤️ the best Album! 🖤
I picked up Gish when it came out because I was a huge Jane's Addiction fan and the record store owner told me to check out Gish. He said if you like Jane's you'll love this. I did and still do to this day. It's cool to hear that Stephen Perkins did influence you. The drum sounds and that "I am one" groove definitely remind me of Jane's.
I deeply love every single thing Billy put out in the 90s , every song has a completely different vibe and you could argue that the Smashing Pumpkins as a musical universe is more or less complete and contains every genre you could want.
But for me the real killers are the lesser known b-sides , especially Glynis - I think that song encompasses the genius that is Corgan and the entire smashing pumpkins sound in general .
Billy is probably the only artist ever whose b-sides are usually on par or better than any of the singles.
Can’t express how fundamental SP were to my youth, thanks for that Billy.
Gish is dope but Melon Collie is fire.
Love you Billy you guys literally changed my life.
Thanks for sharing. I'm a HUGE fan and collector of the band and can't wait to hear you discuss the other albums.
I love I am one and Siva. Love love love. The thing I love about the Pumpkins is like many people I love all the hits however the more I listen to all their songs the more I love so many new songs to me.
i remembered the first time i was introduced to smashing pumpkins, it was back when i was a little kid playing guitar hero world tour on the wii. I played Today so many times, to me it was a beautiful song and i couldn't stop listening to this day
Saw you guys at Pinks Garage, HI - 1992. Went out and Bought the Album. Best material I believe you guys ever made. Wasn't crazy about anything after, couple songs maybe. BUT, Still listen to "Gish" all the time..
Gish is THE perfect album. No amount of tweaking could make it better. It would only lessen what is already is.
This is awesome. One of my favorite bands and albums. Love the guitar tone. The drums are killer. Bass is awesome. Fucking great record.
Ahhh I love Gish I unfortunately didn’t experience the early 90s seeing as I am only 23 but I nonetheless bought the physical album several years ago. It’s one of the few cds I can play without skipping a track!
You have great taste.
loved everything bout this, keen for more
I got to see a short segment on MTV that was highlighting this album. Same night you were playing The Iron Horse in Northampton, MA. Got the cassette the next day from the local record shop and made my friend listen. He instantly became a fan too! Awesome days!! You guys played there on July 16th, 1991.
Smashing Pumpkins...📻.
One of my all-time fave bands. "Oceania" album was the smashingest (for me). "Machina" so awesomely listenable to too.
Thank you Billy and musical friends for loads of great tunes and memories through the years.
🎼🎸🥁🎶.
Much 💙! Keep rockin' it!
I rediscovered them with 'Oceania' - fantastic album and very underrated! Cheers from T.O :)
I was so fascinate by machina one summer of my teenage so huge band , i discover them with the single 1979
I’ll always remember buying machina on vigin megastore in paris champs Elysée , after listening it there
Love you Billy... Live long... Thank you
Smashing Pumpkins your my absolute favorites keep rocking billy!
Great video. Thanks for recording for us! I loooove candid stories behind the music 💞💞
Love Gish so much
This is amazing. Incredible that in the early days they had such a dearth of songs- boy did the floodgates ever open over the next few years...
quite a way to start an album, still one of my favorites. the jungle drums, funky bass and rough guitar sound still hits me the same way today. for a long time as a teenager i would wake up and crank this song to start my day.
Just talk about the whole discography Billy. Trust me , you'll have a huge audience of people wanting to listen
He is, this is a cut from the Gish album.
Im from europe and the smashing pumkins was the soundrack of my teenage thank you so much , part of my soul forever
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!
Thanks for this and for all the music.
U guys and Jane's addiction on one tape... It was AWESOME! ☺
I think Trace Elliot is the bass amp manufacturer Billy was trying to think of. Confirmed with spfc.org equipment list and their amps are black/green
Your music is truly unique and phenomenal ❣️
Thank you so much for doing this, Billy & please keep doing more of these deep dives!
Amazing Band. The 1st two albums are hypnotic... Such a talented group of musicians, great songwriter!!
I've been a huge Pumpkins fan for about 25 years. It's impossible for me to explain the importance of their music in my life. I can only say thank you Smashing Pumpkins. Love from Perú 🇵🇪
Saw you play at the Shoreline last summer, I think it was the last show of the tour, first time seeing the Pumpkins. Great show!!!
This is priceless! Please continue :)
Billy, this is amazing! Thank you.
I always listen to Snail and Crush, they're my two favorites at the moment, they're so uplifting and beautifully composed
I Love The Smashing Pumpkins! SP🖤
A beautiful video ! Thank you WPC
Gish and the year that I discovered the album are very very special in my heart. THANK YOU for all of your work, always and forever! 💖💖💖
Their material prior to Gish is fantastic too. Jennifer Ever is simply lovely.
I’m not familiar with that one. I will check it out. Could you suggest any other pre-Gish songs?
Thank god for this channel. Being a grown up with tepid corporate responsibilities, i can't always catch the instagram lives here in Australia (time difference).
Thanks Billy. I love these deep dives..
I used to read the diary entries you used to post around 2002-2004. I can't wait for the book. xx
Still in my top 3 albums of all time. Open salvo of I Am One, that drum riff never gets old. Magic
It's really amazing to hear Billy talk about those events - the amount of details is amazing, he's clearly touched - love this!
Hi Billy, thanks for this! Cheers!
Love this set up and style. Can’t wait for more. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
It is always nice to reminisce some of your greatest memories, of which he did with an emotional pause. I am a big fan of Smashing Pumpkins and of course a big fan of Billy Corgan. It is sad how time just flies by and the fact that rock bands or bands in general can never last very long because of the creative artistic differences between band members and the different personalities clashing.
I think sometimes with rock bands, the fans and critics don't allow them to grow and change. Billy has done it successfully a few times. But it's been tough. Adore is so well looked at now but at the time the fans were so unforgiving. It's a shame.
Itz a masterpiece! Saw the pumpkins on this tour. Siva blew my mind! Love it.
Best band EVER!!!...creativity just reeks through you....strange decision...yeah well the fact is you ARE strange in the best kind of way...best wishes...i do hope life has allowances for “you” to share all that talent you possess...its a beautiful thing!!
Gish is amazing !!!!
This is Awesome!!! Thank you!
fantastic. thank you so much for sharing !
Hi Billy, very much enjoying this, true fans hanging on every word in your retrospective, cheers cobber, sorry your gigs have been postponed, BUT, I trust you have had golden hours to write some tunes that we shall all enjoy listening to soon. I would like to catch your Q&A, I have a question about your live shows and your thoughts on guitar based bands being able to be original these days.
Thank you for the smashing pumpkins ❤️🌺❤️
I built a sound system over the years in which to listen to Pumpkins and other bands i love. Its almost a church. I just jammed out the whole Gish cd. Cheers everybody!
Thankyou so much Billy for taking us into this amazing debut album, I can't wait for the other songs to be discussed. Peace.
Mr. Corgan you my friend are the most underrated geeeetar player in history. That's all for today. God bless.
Thank you for this. Gish, Siamese, Pisces, and Mellon Collie are my favorites.
This is incredible! Love it. Can't wait for more.
This is awesome, man. I've wanted to know this stuff for years. Thank you
My all time favorite band, frontman, guitarist singer songwriter. Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to more
Suffer is probably my favourite from this album. Can’t wait to hear about it.
Loved to hear this story. Great record 🖤👏🏼⚡️
I was living in Madison WI at the time! I still have family there, a cousin of mine worked with Butch Vig in Smart Studios on a couple music projects, so he has showed me the building. I didn't expect it to be so small! Anyway, it is so fun to hear you talk about Gish era, because I can picture where you are. ❤ Love y'all Pumpkinheads and WPC forever!
PS, we can all probably listen to these things all day. It is over now and I'm sad!
Thanks WPC - great insight
This is awesome!
This is super cool... love hearing toy explain those early recordings awesome music... you guys are still timeless.... and no one really did that sound and style better or even came close
Thank you so much for posting this! I can't wait for the next installment.
Greetings from Brazil !!! I love your songs and love your álbuns...you ARE a great human being.....love everything you did..and offcorse love Smashing Pumpkins !!! Long Live Billy Corgan And the Pumpkins !!! I salute you !
Never been much of a fan, but being a teenager in the 90's they were one of the biggest bands around. Their music was inescapable, especially Siamese dream and Mellon collie. They had a four year period where they were as big as anyone.
How i miss your voice and smile... you are immortal...
This kind of video is so awesome :) Lifelong fan. It's amazing to hear these kinds of stories, more please!! :)
So true! "The kinds of things interviewers don't seem to care about, but fans do." Yes! Can we please go back in time and have artists interview other artists? I would love to ask Billy about when he practiced 4 hours per day from ages 14-18 how did you figure out what to practice on guitar, what was that process like? When you write songs do write all the drum and bass parts too? Do a lot of your ideas start out on piano? I'm just curious about these things. Don't ask me why. Whether they're the greatest of all time doesn't matter, but my top three favorite guitarists are Billy Corgan, Prince, and Guy Davis. Let's talk music!
I agree! 'Gish' sonically blew my mind. Not a bad song on the release- all songs were so cohesive. Still stands out and takes me back
