I saw Billy at his teashop on his Birthday / st Patricks day and he said hes working on new pumpkins music thats like the ole school stuff and heavy guitar work.
Are you saying his old stuff is better than his new stuff? 😉 I had to listen to him play 20 minutes of death-metal-thrash-crap, because he had a hissy fit over the audience telling him that, once … lol
ernie ball mammoths in C# are same tension as standard tuning with 10s. won't sound exactly the same as a longer guitar but i prefer it to standard and works with more or less any guitar. i play clean pop/jazz kind of stuff on it, but i'm sure it would be good for heavier things too. still thinner strings than an acoustic. easy to switch back and forth whenever you change strings. i'd try that out first if you're interested in a longer-scale guitar but are having trouble finding one to demo
Dope! I love all of Billy's signature model guitars. A little concerned about his hands though. It looks like his right hand is white and his left hand is red.
I saw Billy at his tea shop that they are sitting on St Patrick's day and he said they are working on another album. He also told me they are planning to release Machina 1+2 together soon.
@@pattonPwr Between 2014 and 2024 we've had 1. Monuments To An Elegy - 9 tracks 2. Shiny And Oh So Bright - 8 tracks 3. Cyr - 20 tracks 4. ATUM - 33 tracks Plus 2 solo Corgan albums. 17 + 11 Tracks = 28. Plus god knows how many actual songs were WRITTEN for those albums and never used. I think they wrote around 80 for ATUM. WPC must write around 50 songs a year.
@@DavidOakesMusic yeah I agree and I’m a massive SP fan since 1992 but I tend to not care that much for the last 3 albums. They need to do a good heavy record again and change the production and sound a little bit… quality over quantity.
I’d love to talk about Billy about metal. I know he’s always talked about sabbath and stuff but I’d love to hear what doom bands and other extreme alt bands he’s into
He's a big fan of Pantera, Slayer, Metallica, and Sabbath being his favorote..not exactly too extreme, but he has always been a metal head if that counts.
Why would they hire someone who plays all the riffs wrong on purpose? Oh yeah, to make people talk about it, that's a marketing move too. He better stick to fingerpicking.
0:10 I feel like I'm living in crazy land because that guitar tone sounds awful yet everyone else is saying how awesome it is. No. That's not a good guitar tone.
Why can’t the hipsters use high gain amps to replicate records made on high gain amps. I mean seriously this sounds dreadful & not only undermines the product. It also undermines the idea that CME employ people who actually know their stuff. It reminds me of the time in the mid noughties a Max Les Paul appeared in Denmark St and they sold it for about 1/4 of its value as their hipster staff were unaware of its legacy. 🙄
Oh Billy... still trying to "piss all over" Radiohead after all these years. As if Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke don't use alternate tunings or embrace modern technology in music.
@@thestuffmikedoes2309 you mean to tell me and the rest of everyone else watching this video that you ACTUALLY think that opening riff sounds good?! i haven't listened to a lick of SRV in my life, but i have been listening to that riff since the single was first released. and that riff sounds awful--CME can do waaaaay better. but maybe they can't. it doesn't take a corksniffer to tell when a guitar sound is bad. it just takes someone with a functional set of ears. in time, you too can develop the ability to hear actual things.
Most popular modern guitar players I see these days usually use a custom/signature guitar. Tosin Abasi, Yvette Young, Thundercat, St. Vincent, Matt Pike, Tim Henson. This is not unusual or sinister at all.
0:20 Dude comes in 2 bars early with the slide … then starts playing pseudo-Sex Type Thing. I’m guessing he’s not the Pumpkins’ new guitarist? lol Also, the tone you played Everlasting in was trash. Sounded like you were plugged into a cardboard box. Not sure if it was that poor old Triangle Muff’s fault, or not … Did your manager OK this crap, Billy?! Fortunately, the rest sounded at least decent.
@@toddgibson6817 Many wouldn’t care, ‘cause they wouldn’t know what they are/aren’t hearing anyway. I’m not crying; for some reason, it just never ceases to amaze me how little effort people put into the things they’re doing.
I don’t disagree with you at all. But I laughed out loud when wrestling was listed- and I laughed even harder when I realized it was higher on the list than authoritarian politics!

Madame Zuzu’s?
5:54 Billy spittin like a QVC host
He’s a business man
I nearly bought a reverend years ago. They had some nice designs and played well.
4:58 - Dross! Sick riff.
This sounds like the type of guitar I've been looking for. I'd love to get one, but I might have to come to CME myself and test it

Makes a video with Billy Corgan in person, gets someone else to play his riffs...
Yeah makes no sense to me either … 🤦🏻♂️
Corgan is one of the last rock stars. The premium for playing his own music has to be a lot higher
And the guys sucks to boot.
...and still played it wrong
@@guitaristssuck8979 but he made the guitar face lol
Will Gina be playing one of these?
Billy’s a Smashing Young Man!
Dope! I love all of Billy's signature model guitars.
A little concerned about his hands though. It looks like his right hand is white and his left hand is red.
Shit ....thats weird
He did 23and Me and found out that he's half cherokee. That or Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Not new. Redder now that he's older i think.
It’s a birthmark. It goes all the way up to his elbow if I remember correctly.
He has a large red birthmark all over his upper body. He covers it up with makeup most of the time but you can see it on the cover of TheFutureEmbrace
You've never seen him in a t-shirt because of body image issues including this birthmark. Always long sleeves, since the Gish days.
Those “modern” bands Korn and Limp Bizkit that came out 30 years ago 😁
remember when Bizkit was Nu? We du
Awesome, lovely guitar. Love Billy and the Pumpkins
wow. revolutionary. like the yamaha drop 6 from the 2000s. they said the same "you dont notice its a baritone. no one noticed.
When was this filmed ? I wonder if the " new rock record " was referring to ATUM or the _next_ album ...?
New album, will be a rock record… we hope so.
I saw Billy at his tea shop that they are sitting on St Patrick's day and he said they are working on another album.

Cool guitar. Don’t love the pickup designs but oh well they sound good
theyre over $100 pickups
Very nice looking headstock
Is the guy on the right Barry Keoghans dad?
Wow! Sick guitar 100%
No the world’s biggest Corgan fan but that guitar did sound damn good.

He's a big fan of Pantera, Slayer, Metallica, and Sabbath being his favorote..not exactly too extreme, but he has always been a metal head if that counts.
There is a video on youtube where he lists his favourite metal bands.
Why is Billy’s left hand purple and his right hand is normal
Blood flow. The right hand stays down and the blood flows. The left hand is up all the time. It happens to me. And my left hand is always really cold.
Port-Wine Stain birthmark.
He’s left handed.
Wtf, it's not being left-handed or cold, you can literally just google it and find out it's a birthmark going up his entire arm
man i hope nathaniel auditioned and gets the pumpkins did. hell of a guitarist
pumpkins gig*
I literally just came to the comments to ask if he auditioned or not. 😂
Is Nathaniel the dude who was playing in this video?!

I facepalmed when they didn't run it into a hot gained out half stack. Most of his drop tuned work is literally into a Diezel or lately a Carstens.
Dross! what an epic song
Just another super strat
Rotfl, 26.25" for D or C tuning, thats hilarous. Sounds dumb to me. I tune my strat 25"5 with 12-60 to C Standard.
I get you, but with a longer scale you would use a lighter gauge and it won't sound that muddy.
@@guitaristssuck8979 but not worh D or C standard. Thosr can be done wirh 11 or 12 gauge on Les paul. Longer scale is for baritones mainly
@@raphaelsmith4134 I wonder if you can switch tunings that much with that guitar

As if Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke don't use alternate tunings or embrace modern technology in music.
Him comparing Radiohead to Coldplay was the bigger insult but yeah britpop killed shoegaze/grunge so can’t blame him for not liking them.
@@CW0123 Yeah pairing them up shows he really doesn't get it.
As if Ed O'Brien's Strat didn't finish the design in it's entirety from a versatility standpoint, as well
Coldplay and radiohead are closer to each other than to any american band.
I saw him praising Radiohead as a great revolutionary Band several times in other interviews.
that opening riff makes this guitar sound like total garbage. keep up the good work, CME.
Well it was into a Fender amp so what do you expect
