  • yeah! D'arcy... mmmm!

  • i love both machinma albums, try try try and real love are amazing

  • HE IS SO HOT I WANNA MARRY HIM I LOVE HIM SOO MUCH I WANT HIM

  • it is what it is...............

  • so hot does billy keep his head so shiny?

  • omg at 8:25 he sounds like jimmys obsessed fan in blades of glory lol

  • lol they're get so shy :3 its cute

  • it'd b funny if billy said its your face that makes me laugh

  • Smashing Pumpkins are dead, and Billy is in denial.

  • Billy will you marry me? ( Im serious)

  • @TheF0etus that would be little sis :)

  • @TheF0etus I like you.

  • Hey, they never answered how Billy keeps his head shiny!!! WTF?

    I wanna know!!!

  • @TheF0etus thank you very much...

  • @may0naise1984 for your username i figure you are a dedicated sp fan just like me, well if we are fans then why the hell are we fighting?, i mean i was just putting up my opinion you dont have to insult me, calm down and jut envjoy the music, old or new

  • Billy and Jimmy had such a kickin' bromance. <3

  • I actually created an account because this got under my skin so bad. In the words of the great William Patrick Corgan Jr., ANOTHER DUMB KID, SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Jimmy wasn't the backbone of anything either!!! Have you seen Mike Byrne play live? I have three times and he stole the show. He's merely a kid and he kicks ass, he plays what Jimmy played with less equipment. Jimmy rocked, don't get me wrong, but Mike has filled the shoes by far and then some. so kudos to Billy, he might be the only one left but he puts on one hell of a show! Everyone he's replaced was better than the last...

  • and, those who don't appreciate art always say someone else's is garbage. talentless insolent fools.

  • Ok, first of all Billy almost always acts like a prick it's his personality, love it or leave it. second, IF YOU DON'T THINK BILLY CORGAN IS THE SMASHING PUMPKINS YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND SHOULDN'T EVEN BE WATCHING THIS! ITS THE BILLY CORGAN SHOW FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! WHEN I TRAVEL THE US TO SEE THIS MAN LIVE, I'M GOING TO SEE HIM, NOT JEFF OR GINGER OR JIMMY OR D'ARCY OR JAMES OR NICOLE OR LISA OR MIKE!! BILLY CORGAN WROTE 99.8% OF ALL PUMPKINS SONGS AND PLAYS ALL PARTS ON RECORD EXCEPT DRUMS.DUH.

  • @may0naise1984 you know what man, you think im a moron, i think you are a just and angst fanboy. i mean you can expose your opinion like anybody else, thats why this is a free country, but you dont have to be aggressive to the ones that disagree with you, i think the pumpkins arent the same without the rest of the guys, you think its better, lets just say it is a good band and we both love their music...

  • @IamTheScorchedEarth ok silly, but my point is YES, they are a great band but who are they? They are Billy Corgan.  The old band members obviously hold some nostalgic value to a lot of people, Billy included (that was D'arcy's bass in a coffin in the Zeitgeist book, along with the old sp heart) but he is the man behind the curtain, the puppetmaster. so we agree to disagree on who's playing the parts Billy wrote, and we agree that we love the music. But I'm not a boy. HAHAHA

  • @may0naise1984 oops xDDDD, ok sorry about the gender thing, but yeah i guess you are right, billy wrote everything in their music, so yeah it was his music, but he was playing it with his friends and he was having fun, and the other ones were having the time of their life too. its just sad to me that people who once were doing something beautiful and amazing together now hate each other... even if it wasnt exactly "their" music, it was still SP's music.. peace :)

  • and dude, i hope you've seen them live before you've paraded these somewhat harsh opinions about... and i don't mean live clips on youtube either. He's pulling it off OK? I just think he deserves credit, he's built a house of cards with the shitty hand he was dealt...he didn't give up on his dream. GO BILLY.

  • Billy is acting like a prick

  • Yeah, Zeitgeist is garbage. End of story. The original line-up could do no wrong. It's that simple.

  • @MrKrause93 did you know that "the original lineup" wasn't involved in Siamese Dream?  That was only Billy and Jimmy too. And then Adore was without Jimmy, and Machina was without D'Arcy... so are you a Pumpkins fan, or did you just totally dig 1979?

  • @may0naise1984 Lol. There's video. Find it. Jimmy, James, D'Arcy, and Billy.

  • @MrKrause93 like i haven't seen the music videos? I meant the recording. Billy did everything but drums on Zeitgeist, although Jeff and Ginger and Lisa still played onstage...

  • @may0naise1984 I know nothing about Zeitgeist, it's garbage. I was speaking about Siamese Dream. I don't listen to anything after Mellon Collie.

  • @MrKrause93 I'm speaking about Siamese Dream too genius. James played a part on Soma and Mayonaise but Billy did James and D'Arcy's parts on all the rest of that album. How dumb are you? I mean, just shut up and if you don't listen to anything past Mellon Collie why are you arguing about it? insolence. that's why. garbage.

  • @may0naise1984 Lol, is that what you do all day? Pick little fights on youtube. Peace.

  • @may0naise1984 Some of these "Pumpkin" fans are fucking idiots, Notice the ones that are stuck in the past..Gish,Siamese Dream, Mellon Collie are always the ones who claim to be huge fans of their music but they dont like any of their other albums. SP are about innovation and change with their music. Unlike most bands each pumpkins album is different, Guess most people cant appreciate good music.

  • @MrKrause93 it was the same with Siamese Dream. I promise, it had something to do with James and D'Arcy breaking up dude I'm not just making crap up.

  • BIlly alone isn't the Smashing Pumpkins, I think Zeitgeist proved that. He needs a full band to make his full band music and help formulate songs.

  • @TheF0etus Hey what did IHA do that was so bad? Im curious. I cant find it on the internet and I wanted to know why he didnt want to come back to the Pumpkins and what he did and why him and billy dont like each other anymore.

  • Billy was kinda mean to Jimmy :(

  • @TheF0etus hey man calm down ok, i was saying what i think... the way i see it billy could do music on his own very well, but the band he has right now arent the pumpkins no more, i mean of course the new members are awesome, but his music doesnt have the same feeling that it had before, sure its innovative and modern, but it cant compare to the past. and billys message... i guess his message was "why do you need you need to be sad, when you can be happy"

  • @IamTheScorchedEarth we aren't fighting, I was stating my opinion as well as my opinion is that you are a moron. Billy Corgan can call his show whatever he wants, the smashing pumpkins or the Billy Corgan circus, the point is they are his songs that are being accredited as Smashing Pumpkins songs so he is the smashing pumpkins. They played parts he wrote. they were his puppets, and ungrateful ones at that.

  • JIMMY AND BILLY DIG VOLTA!!!!! my two absolute favorite bands of all time!!

  • I think I just hit the jackpot in Smashing Pumpkins videos. :D

  • love how billy ignored the shiny-head question! hahah awesome

  • @mel1194 power ranger

  • Jimmy was the Backbone of the band... Now that "body" can't stand up.

  • @Suprematista

    Billy: Mind

    James: Heart

    D'arcy: Lungs

    Jimmy: Spine

    the mind is not enough

  • @IamTheScorchedEarth for most people including me Billy IS enough. I personally believe Billy is Smashing Pumpkins being that he is the only permanent member of the band and he has been there from the start. I wont disagree that Jimmy was pretty important cause he help start the band and he stayed with them for a long time but i believe Billy is and always will be The Smashing Pumpkins.

  • @u2bowned kudos to you for being intelligent enough to recognize the fact that Billy is SP, and idiots harping on where's D'arcy or where's James should stick with Nickelback

  • Smashing Pumpkins were the best thing to happen to the nineteen nineties, but those days are over. This "new" band called Smashing Pumpkins, is a sick, disease riddled shadow of its once glorious self. Billy is like the college kid who hangs around his hometown high school kids, and reminds them of how great he is. Billy move on, Zeitgeist blew ass.

  • @mimewar there are some people in the world who will claim to love an artist and then turn their backs when their style changes.News to those people- ART CHANGES. people change, lives change, change is the only constant.If the Smashing Pumpkins came out with a new album that sounded exactly like Gish or Siamese Dream every two years you'd still be bitching.True fans follow the artist, not the crowd.In "If All Goes Wrong",Billy explains how he's done so with Neil Young,

  • @mimewar and I think he may have been implying by discussing his idea of what true fans are that he doesn't really want fairweather garbage claiming to be his fans. Love it or leave it,... I don't suppose you were at the Fillmore were you?? hahaha trash.

  • Lmao! Jimmy sounds exactly the same as Jason Segel/Marshall from How i met your mother!:D

  • Jimmy is a legend, so so good on drums, an inspiration. Smashing Pumpkins are amazing, without the other members Billy Corgan just doesn't do it for me. His solo album is no good from my opinion.

  • billys still a tyrant, jimmy ur awesome

  • billy looks anorexic

  • Lol he didn't wanna pick an artist to cover a song that would be too obvious. But before he answered I thought he would pick either Mozart or Bach.. I know you so well Billo

  • Garglin' some nails - the last time I saw them live was way back in 99 - the whole show, I think, was in double time aaannd he SCREAMED almost the whole time. "Tales of a Scorched Earth" level raspiness. Ouch! cough cough

  • Fuck yeah!! I knew Chamberlin was a mahavishnu fan!!! Was it billy cobham wo drummed for them? i think it was.

  • Billy's voice sounded like he gargled some nails... x_x

  • lol the girl who asked about what the "meaning" of Paris Hilton was on an album called "Zeitgeist".

  • @misterdanger774 OK I know you posted your comment 7 months ago, but I feel the need to set you straight. Darcy had to leave. Because of a serious drug addiction. Her life had become a weight that was counter productive to the dream. James left because he was burned out from many years in a rock band, and he felt he needed to stand by Darcy. They did date, and were the best friends in the band, even after they broke up. Jimmy is still with him and he and billy are and always will be SP!!!!!

  • @thegermanchannel212 Today is about whatever it makes you feel. That is what Billy wants. For him, however, from what I gather from many articles and interviews, it is about him giving up, feeling alone, and deciding to use his gift. Basically about giving up, and in, to your true feelings and letting the chips fall where they may. Hint..the lyric, pink ribbon scars will never forget... he used to cut himself because he was so lost inside. There is much this man has given the world.listen

  • yeah the mars volta fuck yeah

  • i love The Smashing Pumpkins....Billy is a songwriting genius...and Jimmy is a a badarse drummer and person...keep it up guys!! Come to Tasmania...you can stay at mine!!

  • Very nice of them,

  • 2:46 love how jimmy is playing an invisible drum kit :D

  • Or Pink Floyd!

    No.

    hahahahaha

  • lol ?

  • dude failed to mention how he keeps his head so shiny......hehe

    something tells me he doesnt intentionally try to keep it shiny....

    by the way why is he bangin tila whorebag? For someone who is so smart about the industry, he's really killing his self image.

    Seems like he's trying a bowie in that everyone will love the old SP stuff, but he's trying to build a new audience.

    Everyone loves ziggy stardust, tin machine not so much.......

  • BC is being a real prick. And I love BC. Not paying attention (on his phone)... gossamer by Bach... typical BC

  • om2

  • I think Jimmy is one of the best drummers I've ever heard. He seems like a genuinely good guy, even with his problems. How stupid that sounds-I don't even know him, but just an observation.

  • i agree! i met him! Hes a really great guy!

  • I like the pumpkins and all but I bet Billy is real fucking hard to work with. He tears people down and apart. It's obvious. Again, I love their/his music but I'm sure he's a real ass. He's the reason they made it and also the reason they couldn't grow upon their preivious successes.

  • Jimmy's like wine he got better with age

  • billy you are inspiring to me as an artist and a future graphic designer. someday ill mention your name.

  • U stole my words :P. One thing makes me admire Corgan is his tightness and honesty writing songs like talking for medias. Once Rolling Stone Mag asked him for his favorite band actually and he didn´t name a band from his lable neither his country. He adviced an independent band called SWAVE, giving very good comments about their song "In the future"

  • @TheMRious Dude, Im tired of seeing this same message on every SP vid page. ????? are you one of the dudes in Swave's girlfriend or something? I guess then it would be nice, trying to get them recognition and all. However, I have never heard Billy mention that band. I'm not saying that you are lying, I just want to hear him say it, not you. In every comment page nonetheless. What issue of RS is it in?

  • I love Billy Corgan and although he is by himself now because of what some might say is his ego, isent it Billy's revolutionary ambition an constantly changing styles that have allowed the pumpkins to play so long. Not many real rock bands are still doing well today but Billy has managed it. With him there it will always be the smashing pumpkins.

  • Gossamer covered by Pink Floyd? that would be awesome!

  • yea i would love to have hear the velvet underground cover a pumpkins song, or vice versa. both bands are (were) amazing

  • why is it billy corgan wont acknowledge the white stripes

    whenever someone brings them up he changes the subject

    im a fan of both and im just curious if billy hates them or something

  • velevet underground!!!! wow Epic Fail for me billy!

  • Ok? i do not understand where u guys r coming from? you guys r really tryin 2 find something wrong about billy . Yes during the 90s he did not have the greatest personality whith the band members. but i fell that billy has changed a looooot! and that is a big improvement 4 him. but its funny every sp fan ether likes him or really really hates him.

  • im always gonna favor jimmy over billy

  • why?

  • Smashing Pumpkins-The reason I create the music I do-Billy has always been my musical idol- I have songs on my channel if anyone wants to view and hear them---thanks,,,,,Jonathan O'Neal Moody:)

  • its billys band always has been always will be. BILLY alone is the genius behind the great tracks and genius is close to madness so BILLY is a little mad but you would'nt have the tunes without this. anyone can be the bass player anyone can be 2nd guitar JIMMY is truly a gifted drummer but its billys voice and writing talent who made the PUMPKINS!!! stop moaning about billy leave him alone!!!!

  • i miss the old SP.

  • @CoconutsandBananas Yeah. I miss D'arcy. Even though she was pretty much just a bar chick lucky enough to have been friends w/ a genius, she was so cool. Her on bass, like, just symbolizes the nineties for me or something.

  • I'm a pumpkins fan and this video breaks my heart... billy is so pretentious and puts jimmy down so much, I can totally understand why jimmy left.

    It also makes me feel that nothing good is coming next... maybe billy's next project will be another adore ??? and jimmy said "hell no"...

    I hated when jimmy said "pink floyd" and billy just said to him "no".

    WTF ? RESPECT YOUR FELLOW MUSICIANS BILLY, THAT'S WHY EVERYONE HAS LEFT.

    Good luck to Jimmy, you're the best drummer I've ever heard !

  • Billy and Jimmy are both being very sarcastic.. They're best friends man...

  • He didn't just say "no," Jimmy actually interrupted him back, Billy was about to say "no, it would be too obvious --" and then elaborate, but Jimmy was too eager to continue with his own answer. Are you sure you aren't LOOKING for something wrong with Billy?

  • Well he has his own opinion too.

  • ARRRHAAHAHAHAHAH

  • With Jimmy gone, I honestly can't see SP as SP anymore.

  • I dig em both too. But i think Billy needs Jimmy more than Jimmy needs Billy.

  • You know i think i agree with you. No one drums like Jimmy... he is a freaking human drum machine.

  • True!. There may be many drummers who can play faster or more technical, but as far as feel goes, Jimmy can absolutely DRIVE a song like few others can.

  • You know something? I heard that theres a new rock band called Tinted Windows , maybe Billy and Jimmy can join that band hahaha :) and reunite with an old guitar player lol

    if only Darcy can come back too ..and re-start the SP all over again :) throw out the guy from Hanson

  • No offense I'm the biggest fan of them both but I think I can see why Jimmy left.... Billy is discarding everything he's saying, he's probably really controlling in the studio too as I've read.

  • thats why everyone has left

    its billy's way and billy's way only pretty much

    but with only billy left i cant see much

    lets hope they dont get that bold headed drummer

    who was jimmy's replacement when he was in rehab

  • kenny

    i agree

    that guy is a huge tool...

  • Like Jimmy stated, no bad blood. Billy's music often goes bizarre directions and while Jimmy is versatile, it isn't his style and he isn't enjoying it anymore.

    Billy: "... to be covered by Bach

    Jimmy: (pause with stare) "right".... (sarcastic)

    Jimmy: "or Pink Floyd"

    Billy: (pause with stare) "no".

    nuff sed right there folks!

  • SO.... what happens now?!

  • bye Jimmy :(

  • hahaha "better question than answer!"

  • lol

    gotta love that chrome dome

  • ha i love the war tapes and the mars volta

  • Superchrist by a Maha-Vishnu orchest... Hindu band doing a song called SuperCHRIST.... Hmm... How did he think of that?

  • lol

  • love the pumpkins so much these two guys are awesome, but dont you think billy is looking alot like richard o'brian :P

    keep on rocking pumpkins

  • Billy as Riff Raff would be glorious! xD

  • wow didnt know billy played through deziel..

  • Legends on stage, kinda awkward in front of a camera. hahah rock on.

  • emo? lol no

  • jajaja you guys freak me out.. billy looks so dumb in this video..nothing personal, i love the smashing pumpkins.

  • watch ben kwellers cover of today it's really good

  • I wouldve laughed my balls off, if he said that the band that was pretty good, was A Perfect Circle. Seeing as James Iha left to be with them......

    But I love SP and APC, so that would be AWESOME!!!! =D

  • idk they were just terrible that day but maybe it was a bad day i cant say...it was painful though

  • ugh please not mars volta billy they are so terrible live. my friend and I saw them open for another band and he described it to me as a chipmunk engaging in intercourse with a blue whale

  • are you serious well ive only heard them on record they are amazin but are you serious they are THAT bad....i dont know maybe it was bad sound check or maybe just a bad day...

  • why is billy's left hand always so red compared to the right?

  • it's a port wine stain, like a birth mark

  • "Audio Vanguard Association" needs to play the DD again...NOW! Go do IT!

  • good video.

  • no way, they preformed in ireland on new years eve 99?! Amazin,but comin from Ireland myself, there is no way that dude is irish

  • i love u billy!!

  • ahahah billy looks just like my are teacher so we call him mr. corgan :]

  • billy needs to drop his cell phone

  • 1979 covered by Elvis, right?

  • Everyone needs to stop bashing the pumpkins for changing their lineup and calling themselves by the same name. You guys need to look at all the band that had member changes and didnt get any hate for it. Paramore lost a guitarist, Freddy Mercury died,they were still Queen and Journey lost their singer and found a random guy on youtube! Plus Led Zeppelin might reunite without Plant and I would LOVE to see anyone bash them. You're all just mad at SP for something they couldnt control.

  • there next album will be better

  • hopefully but some how I doubt they will ever be good, they ran out of melodies

  • dang billy, you have the biggest hands, you could wrap ure hand around a watermelon lol

  • ...?...XD

  • i have been listening to them since i was like 8 and i love them1 who cares if they arent the same band members anymore at lest billy is in it and thats all that matters. i did like their old stuff but they still play it at concerts and its kinda better i mean the new people know what they are doing . i just wannaed to say that!

  • ajaja it`s funny how billy looks jimmy at the beginning.. like "what are you talking about"

  • there aren't intelligent questions only ORIGINAL questions

  • 8:54

  • haha... jimmy started laughing at the shiny head question...lol

  • and he didn't answer it! haha.

  • Dude, why do you people come on here and bash the Pumpkins? If you don't like their music, then why are you wasting your time sharing your opinion? You don't see me going to Beyonce and Madonna sites telling you what garbage their music is! Quit ruining it for the people who actually understand the talent that's in this band. To each his own.

  • hey i love pumpkins music , ive been a fan since jr high and they USED to make great music. but even billy's own band members cant stand him. and sorry , without james the band is not near as good as they were in the mellon collie  or siamese dream era. .i will admit that billy is an astounding artist and very unique, but dont try to call yourself the pumpkins if your not the same band. they just use the name to sell their new stuff, which is nothing compared to their old stuff.

  • Anyone who ever bashes you for saying that is retarded. Completely correct statement.

  • because smashing pumpkins = billy corgan and billy corgan = smashing pumpkins.

  • hehe nice dude

  • zeitgeist was a crappy album, and how can you "reunite the band " with only 2 original members?

  • "I know a lot of our fans are puzzled by Zeitgeist. I think they wanted this massive, grandiose work, but you don't just roll out of bed after seven years without a functioning band and go back to doing that".

    -Billy Corgan

  • Zeitgeist was not a crappy album by any means. Sure its not their best, but it's still a pretty solid album. I suggest you go back and take another listen!

  • That Billy Corgan fellow sure is a bizarre individual.

  • ASK BILLY WHY HE SHAVED HIS HEAD!!! no :P

  • Met Billy!

  • I saw Jimmy in SLC in 1991, he his a gifted drummer, love his style, and I kissed Darcy , and that is that.

  • no way ! you did ?i hate and envy yooo.

  • lucky sunva bitch! D'arcy!!!! epic!!!!!!!

  • YOU USERS

  • How bout this, What the HELL happened to James and D'arcy!?

  • no shit, in 2000 or 2001 darci quit the band right before they went on their "last tour" i was gunna ask them if darci was still in the band

  • it's really a shame that gossamer never did get released as a single. i think it would've done fairly well.

  • Billy never did answer how he keeps his scalp so shiny. Maybe one of those bowling ball polishers?

  • I think when it comes to artists alive or dead playing one of their songs, I would've chosen Elton John with Spaceboy.
