"A double album is totally a once in a lifetime thing" - Billy Corgan (A man who has written 4 double albums)
I know about the Cyr one but what are the other two?
In an interstellar burst, I’m back to save the universe!

@@miguelvalentine9776 noob
@@monkeyliver1986 thanks snob. also machina 2 was downloadable or what ever,so I never saw that in stores nor knew about it till recently but I wasn't into machina one, though had two good songs.
Corgans Hair had seconds to live ...
ROFL!
It's that fear that the people with fading hairlines or growing bald spots get. It makes them just murder the rest of the hair. 🤣
A 28 track double album that should keep smashing pumpkins fans busy for quite a while.
Well it's 2021 and I still jam that album like it came out yesterday
Me too bro I actually it on DOULBLE LP
Got on dual cassette & then double CD. It’s not as good as the first two but neither disc has a lot a filler, I just can only handle so much of Corgan’s ego, which has calmed considerably.
That album rocked when I was 12 and it still does at 39!!!
R.I.P. Billy Corgan's hair... this was close to the end for you.
That band's career was never the same afterward. The curse of Billy's shaved head 😆
"I just write about my fucked up life and what's left of it. That's why the next album will be like an EP" LMFAO
and it was an Ep... zero was the Ep... then we got a box set LOL
I can totally relate to that, Billy, especially now that I am much older!
The CD of Mellon Collie was great. The artwork sleeve that came with it was cool AF. Kids today are missing out on how personal it was to buy a CD 💿 and read the lyrics and check out the artwork. That was just as cool as getting the music. Now they click a button on their device. Nothing personal about that. It's sad that shit is gone. 90's & 2000's were great.
YES...I saw them during their Mellon Collie tour!!!...those were some great days...no one had a phone up recording anything: we were immersed in the show/moment....
Nicely put
@@dogfacedogface1 thanks
Agree! After reading this I dug through some boxes and looked at the artwork on my copy of Mellon collie album for the first time probably in over 20 years, it IS really cool and beautiful artwork. That was one of my favorite things about albums back in the day, reading the lyrics and notes in the albums sleeve while listening to it. I remember being disappointed when I'd buy a new cd or cassette as a teen and it would have little to no artwork, or lyrics included.
Very well said ❤
Man I miss these days of Music TV, bands making videos actually worth watching, none of that youtube vevo crap and everything artists did meant so much more. Also this is the happiest I've ever seen D'arcy.. like ever on video.
ok gen-xers
V accurate
preach. music videos were like mini movies, not stupid lyric videos that take 2 minutes on power point or whatever the fuck people use now. also, the shuriken is still drinking baby formula so don't listen to him. he'll never know what the good life was like.
nothing has changed. everything is exactly how it was back in 95 we just dont have cable boxes anymore. the internet became international cable and sections of youtube are just like MTV from back in the day. people need to get off this nostalgia kick it isnt healthy to constantly live in the past all the while being blind to the fact that everything is still the same as it was 25 years ago.
Amen. 🎃
Take me back to 95
Billy: “A double album really appealed to US.”
Us = Billy Corgan
Billy: “WE wrote about 60-70 songs.”
We = Billy Corgan
And those 60 - 70 songs will go down in history as some of the best music ever written.
Actually they all collaborated on this unlike the first 2 records.
@@benjaminfrankart4872 eh not really, he tracked 99% of everything not drums on this just like the first 2 albums
@@Jnels27 Really? I heard they all collaborated on this one, with Darcy actually playing bass and Iha actually doing stuff on guitar, that's why Billy said he thought the recording of this one worked better than the first two albums because everybody pitched in.
@@benjaminfrankart4872 songs like xyu are the full band live recording, and the band worked on and had more democratic influence on the music than the first one but when they were tracking guitars and bass Billy still recorded almost all of it
This album is iconic. This is and will remain a classic!
I was just out of high school in 95 when this was filmed where I live. I recall knowing a few people that got into the video. I’d like to go back to those times for sure, you can have 2022.
Same here man, I'd give up all this internet bs (although it existed in it's infancy then) and especially devices/everything requiring an app, to go back to those days. Best time to be alive was around '86 to '96 I think.
@@asdf9890 Completely agree, I was 12 about to turn 13 when this aired, in fact I'm pretty sure I received the Mellon Collie album for my 13th birthday. I'd go back in a heartbeat to relive those days again and probably just keep reliving them in an endless loop forever. I'd probably pick 1987 till about January 1st 2000 to just keep reliving. Perhaps it'd get boring after awhile, but I doubt it plus anything, even boredom would beat living through the 2020s.
They were so totally down to earth and chill. I remember this interview when it came out and just thinking how normal and accessible they seemed, especially for a band that made such moody and artistic music. I miss this era so much.
@@steveofdeon1322 Except they were always like this. They were very well known for being jokesters and down to earth.
Billy Corgan is known as a controlling tyrant, Jimmy Chamberlain raged on hard drugs, and the band was almost constantly fighting. The Smashing Pumpkins were the opposite of down to earth and chill. The band was (and is) a pressure cooker and it's blown up several times, all due to the fact that they are NOT down to earth and chill (primarily Billy). Great band, but not a happy-go-lucky group, that's for sure.
Did you see they have a bakery coffee shop it’s so awesome real people I love the music 🎶 rock on
That was a GREAT Album.
got me through rehab.
twice.
I miss those days. Great bands and MTV. Sad.
“The youth of America continues to frighten me at an alarming pace”. Little did he know what was coming in the 2020’s
little did he knew that he would become a conservative far right prick
This song will always feel contemporary
D'Arcy YOU BEAUTIFUL FOX!!
If you like crackheads.
Google her latest mug-shots
@@hanajinks1044 YO whatever mistakes she`s made since doesn't change the fact that i had a crush on her and i love that she plays bass, super hot goth in the bullet with butterfly wings and so cute and natural in 1979 oh and don`t forget beauty is in the eye of the beholder
@@DavenHiskey
What mistakes? And l think you might've spelt your name wrong.
@@hanajinks1044 Anything else miss classy
Saw them a few years ago and it blew my mind. Very artistic which is something missing these days.
Who just wishes they had the power to jump through a screen and be back in the 80s & 90s again?? The movies, music, fashion, MTV and no cell phones and social media. Before 9/11 and only knowing your friends and family opinions about everything.
The 90s were the best decade to be young and free. No internet and social media and no smartphones. Just get in your car and drive for hours, sometimes days incommunicado. Landlines, letters, magazines, newspapers and TV was the only way you could find out what's going on. You actually valued meeting real people and having experiences together. Not like now where everyone is staring at their screens reading notifications from social media not engaging with real life but a virtual reality of virtual friends. The music today is also rubbish.
@@rushshukla4636 1980s was even better. It was amazing to be a kid in the 80s
@@MorrisB1971 I loved both the 80s and 90s. Being a teenager in the 80s and then coming of age in the 90s. Sadly the world took a turn for the worst in 2001. But looking back through the sands of time we took the wrong step years ago by allowing our world to be controlled by the people who issue money. The money system is totally corrupt and the media they own which pushes a false narrative. The good news is though there is an awakening when people are starting to see thru their BS.
You're not kidding wow those were the days.
The seventies were even better!😀
It's so easy to forget how abruptly Billy Corgan adopted his trademark shaved head. I remember that video airing concurrently with 1979 and Tonight, Tonight
He been balding since he was 26 so not really trademark.
Could’ve easily paid to have hair plugs so yeah try again.
@@ryanvernatter3537 huh?
@@ryanvernatter3537 you sound like the type of guy to spray his hairline on 💀
I'm convince courtney really did hex him to lose his hair like she said she did lol
I’d love to see darcy out of hiding
The last photos I saw of her she was a complete wreck, and that was years ago. She's wise to hide.
That was the last day before Billy turned into Uncle Fester
Best Times for music.
So many excellent bands that we were hearing back then. From your English bands like the verve , s*m*a*s*h these animal men the charlatans to sonic youth, weezer greendays dookie. Punk rock and independent music was flourishing
Back when MTV was still about music
back when they actually did proper music journalism.. this is actually an awesome piece.
"Hole can have a strip mall." LMAO
*helps Courtney Love write some songs for Celebrity Skin 3 years later*
*picks Melissa Auf der Maur for touring bassist 5 years later*
He had been in a relationship w Courtney Love years before this.
hes the one who said to Courtney to get in touch with Melissa
This album is a once in a lifetime thing... boy... was he right... 28 years later and it's still one of the best albums ever
I miss when rock was real.
right at the cusp before super super stardom!
I remember being a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan by age 10 and I had my own band but it was a struggle to write songs I still have writers block 26 years later.
RIP Billy Corgan's hair
I adore - D'Arcy..
Love youuu...
Smashing pumpkins gak ada matinyee... 🤘🤘
Man I still remember watching this news clip 15 years ago.....
25 years ago, but yeah it doesn't seem that long ago sometimes
@@patrickblackwell777 Good catch.
“A double album is a once in a lifetime thing”
Tried to release another double album five years later.
And then a triple album in the 2010s.
What makes this video absolutely hysterical is Billy at this point of times looks like the oddity of the band!!!
"Easy, alright?" 😂😂🎃
I still have this on original vinyl.
I swear I just went into a time machine..
I love that video I’m a huge Pumpkin fan Play a Corgin Strat live there sound It’s great to See Sam in his art mode He’s a director with the greatest art director connective bond that makes it on film Always stunning! Seeing the band laid back confronting a commercial success and the demands of a massive new album band goofy and having a good shoot With Sam at the helm the project was a smashing success
MTV wasn't always lame.
Yes it was 🤣
“Hole can have like a strip mall”😂😂😂
Billy Corgan: "A double album is totally a once in a lifetime thing.."
Cyr: "Am I joke to you"?
And Adore is actually longer than Cyr. Not to mention Aeroplane and the Machinas.
Thanks for this
it is easy to forget how hot D'arcy Wretzky was
It's easy, because she wasn't.
@@alukuhito she was super hot
@@HockeyNationHD She was OK, but she was pretty pretentious, and look what happened to her in the end. What a mess! Best to say away from her.
@@alukuhito didn't seem pretentious at all, in fact easily the least pretentious member of the band. super down to earth. nothing happened to her, she's fine. i agree tho, best for everyone to leave her alone.
D'Arcy looks cute in tights.
did you see her on Four leaf clover video???
Samuel Bayer nailed it again on the video 👩🎤🤟😎
D'arcy hmmmmmm.
Hope all is well for her!
I remember this newsbreak on MTV, I was 23
I miss mtv news
That K Mart special was some guy at the record label. Corgan wanted Jellybelly as the first single.
I think everyone is high in this video. Including Kurt Loder.
🔥D ' A R C Y🔥
A few months after the Boeing 777 was introduced. Still built today.
It's sad they were friend with DArcy ...Now they're not even talking.
the double album I kept listening too but could never work out why.
Purple hair in the mid 90s. Now everybody has it.
Peak creativity era
Jesus christ I'm gettin old.
2022
"Can't be any worse than the name of the band"
D'arcy Wretzky had that (je ne se quoi) that made her very sexy.
Never saw d arcy this way...
0:35 and that's why Billy shaved his head the following month after the filming of this video. He clearly was aggressively going bald on top. Here is an interview of him from a mere 6 months earlier. It was already thinning (diffuse thinning) but not as bad: th-cam.com/video/SikKILK4xEI/w-d-xo.html
Yet he gave a totally different story on the Howard Stern show.
I've long suspected this of Billy. I saw the Stern interview and raised a brow as well. Yet...who honestly cares?
It's a little embarrassing going bald and at such a young age. This and the fact that Billy was on the cusp of rock, super stardom and yeah....cut him a little slack.
If he wants to run with a "shave the vanity away" as a cover for his insecurities...just let it be. Jesus....the richest man in the world is bald....no fame or money can solve it. Boys...and ladies, in some cases...it's a natural, human thing and not one that many of us celebrate. Let it be. He looks pretty good bald.
@RockMeAmadeus Nah, if you start going bald at a young age those hair transplants quickly lose their effect and start looking really bad, really fast. Now, if you are thinning out in your late-30s or so then I agree they can look good. But Billy was only late-20s and it was going fast. I think he died his hair jet black and started combing it over a bit to disguise it but after a little while thought "fuck it".
@RockMeAmadeus Money can't solve it. That's why Bezos looks like Lex Luthor. That's why Donald Trump has a terrible comb-over. That's why Elton John and Maynard James Keenan wear wigs. That's why LeBron James has to glue patches of brillow pads to his head and why Joe Rogan has surgical scars on the back of his from failed hair transplants. It doesn't matter how much money you throw at it, once you start losing it it's gonna go.
@@SobridMusic If, and I emphasize *IF*, you catch it quickly enough, you can control the balding process with Minoxidil. It basically stops your hair from falling out. But, it's an expensive lifetime commitment, the side effects can be rough, and if you don't use it every day you'll lose your hair.
Bald billy > billy with hair
Dude are you being sarcastic? I don’t even know anymore.
Simpsons !
Mmmm darcy
Interested to check out this band music !
I thought all their shows were for fans.
I was 19 again for a few woohoo
0:48 - Panda Eyes ---sickos
Hey... every other generation... this is GenX... with our "so-over-it" sarcastic comments. *Kisses!
I lived on Irving park rd for a long time. Ran into the band members in day-to-day life. They do not sound happy. cut to 2022, we learn why.
Jimmy was coked tf up 🤣
That's Matt from Quantum of Conscience
He namedropped The Urge? Wow
Hairline throwbacks?
In the far future this classic song will prob be lumped in with grunge. And who will tell then differently.
"Couldnt be any worse than the name of the band" its sad to see how they never truly got along well as bandmates
Darcy keeping it real. miss her
That line isn't about not getting along, she's being funny.
I mean they got along more than most bands and people. Darcy did work on five major label albums, one being a double album. As well as four major tours, and everything in between (demos, smaller gigs, unreleased material, record signings,press interviews etc). Most people and people who play music ditch each other at the very first disagreement.
Nah she's just being funny. I hope they re-unite someday, I mean the original 4
I wonder what he thinks about the youth of America now 😮
Ill ask him that when I meet him. If I die and don't meet all of the original line up ill cry forever
@@SuicideSeason4545 You'll cry for a bit then meet Dimebag, Vinnie, Randy, Lemmy and The Mega Spliff Spirit. All will be right and good.
How did the album title set off poser alarms?
2:00 what's the song in the background??
That would be "Bodies"
@@obscuredsatellitesinflight6034 thank you so much! God bless
@@dumbmemes28 :-)
28 songs 😭
Only ever liked a few songs for this album. 1979 is one of my favorite Pumpkins songs. Bodies rocks, and a few others.
Same here
Nobody cares, because this album is EPIC :)
Every song on it is great. It's a masterpiece.
one of those weird one-hit wonders of the 80s. no one even listens to "the freshman" anymore.
he's hair was thin 😳
Do albums still release on Tuesdays? Lol
Fridays...
We is Billy and Jimmy. D'arcy and James were there for the look and it worked. I'm a fan of all of them.
1:34 what did he say?
Parcheesi
@@GoblinsINC A board game for those who haven't heard of it.
I always thought darcy’s sassy and light feminine style was too opposite to the grungy grinding mentality of the band
RIP Kurt Looder!!
What are you talking about? He's still alive.
Bus the people in like Nashville. LO fuckin L
Darcy I still love you from the 90s.. Call me please
start selling crack and she would probably call you all the time.
legends...but did i misunderstand..or were they doggin the xtras for rollin in the mud....dude...u guys rock...to be in a video during that time...almost anything fans are loyal
Billy’s career blowing up in the 90s. Hairline not so much. 😝
Back in the day when artists could write, play their instruments and actually sing their own songs… even live. I miss those days. Music sucks so much now🙃
So not true. Music is being produced and released like never before- you just have to look for it, as always!
Shut up grandpa
@@licccio2133 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@marcboutin9555 looks like your finger got stuck on one place. Sure your arthritis isn't acting up, grandpa?
If they call you grandpa, they were not there in those days.
Cheers from another grandpa (1975)
I think Billy was really growing bold at that time 🤔
Back when D'Arcy was hot
That's what you call "hot"? To each a zone...
@@alukuhito there's a difference between beautiful and hot. Hot is a woman who you'd fuck
@@alukuhito how many times are you going to reply to comments where people say she's hot? talk about a chip on your shoulder.
@@jakedibiase7404 And you're actually following me around to see what I write to others? Creepy.
The corniest thing I saw in my life was Corgan at a poetry reading. Not only did he pretend to be Lebowski, he started to cry about Beck. The cringe still hits home.
"News" disguised as an advertisement for a new album and single. MTV really made the careers of some bands like Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana.
A bit of both. What of it?
they made their careers by making great music. Siamese is about as good a guitar rock album as there has ever been.
when he still had hair and hopes and dreams. there is evidence of his hair receding though and with it his youthful optimism like every other balding man.
The bands success tanked after the curse of Billy's shaved head took effect.
Ah the 1990's. Back when ugly people could still be in popular rock bands.
