Billy Corgan - It's a Long Way to the Top (If you Wanna Rock 'n' Roll) [ACDC] - Piazza Duomo

[EdgiePower]

Why is everyone getting so worked up by a famous musician deciding to have a bit of a jam in the street amongst the regular folk? More power to him. Someone has to play the song live, it's not like AC/DC ever did anyway.

[ObscuredJellybelly]

People here obviously don't know anything about Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins. His voice is the most unique one in rock music, you can't deny that. Just enjoy, and if you don't get the fuck out of here and go wank over some Angus Young pictures.

[tunawayFEMwash]

Isn't this the fag from smashing pumpkins? I heard he lays on his back, puts his feet to the floor above his head and shits into his own mouth. fuck this guy, his gay band, their gay name, and this gay version of this song. He looks like that other douche bag from food network who used to work at T.G.I Fridays. Micheal cock n' balls or whatever. Both those guys make out naked on elementary school playgrounds with each other. And their mothers have unkempt pussies.

[MrBusterfoot]

you all must heard that acdc version and you are not able to just hear the song. this is a way sexier version than any i've seen and unfortunately this is the third version i've had to listen to.

[MrBusterfoot]

this song sucks, this is the only version i've seen that is interesting at all.

[IshadaKatzteilov]

This has got to be one of the most atrocious things I've ever seen or heard in all my terror-filled life.

[mariorossipuzza]

4:20 "BASTA!" (clap) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

[ChrisAmazon]

HOLY FUCK HES AS STRAIGHT AS A RAINBOW!!!

[barudzija7]

who cares if his voice doesn't fit the song? he's doing a free concert on the street. that's pretty fucking cool if you ask me. i'm not complaining.

[ljhar]

This is fucking woeful

[j4unumber1]

I think this very awesome! I find it very cool that a bunch of people found Billy Corgan in Milan and that they wanted him to play for them. It really does not get any better than a group of people finding a celebrity musician and then requesting the celebrity to play for them and the celebrity does.

[BaneOfLannister]

Dude's still awesome but it just doesn't work. Like the laid back feel of the video though.

[PurpleFyr3]

What kind of guitar is that?

[Tapiola2007]

Respect to BC and the Pumpkins but this didn't work for me!

[redfenderguy]

how hard is it to tune a guitar  and yes leave it to bon

[auntygomez]

what a fucking pro corgan is, he seems a real genuine guy.

[Guyll21]

Ehhh...His voice doesn't suit the song.

[lancelotdulacful]

@Guyll21 it's not the point here with billy, that's anyone suits anything

[NinjaJedi11]

that Volume 4 shirt distracted me

[thunderballs1971]

I didn't know Uncle Fester from the Adams Family played guitar!!!! They're creepy and they're cooky.........lmao

[drumtum]

Want some cheese til your wine Billy?

[impellernut]

billy corigan is straight busted ass fugly

[lunchboxattacks1]

Sounds like how Queens of the Stone Age would do it. With the down tuning and the driving style. Sounds quite a bit like "Feel good hit of the Summer" in that respect.

[JohnABoy1]

Billy Corgan taking the fun out of a great rock song? No way!!

[Bayview05]

this instantly blows away anything acdc ever did. ever.

[Oberhorsti]

@Bayview05 Wtf.. Someone who covers a song can never be better than the writer of the song...

BTW this cover is bloody easy shit :D

[Bayview05]

@Oberhorsti so wrong. ever heard of a little song called All Along The Watchtower?

[coolins112]

It's just a cover for god's sake. He covered it because he likes the band, he's a fan just like any other AC/DC fan. There's no need to rag on him for that.

[guyanaboi122]

billy's a god of rock f*** ACDC

[ltsandes]

i like that chick in the right, she seems really into the performance :)

[mozzlan]

that was lame :S

[Lalo3001]

Not bad. He tries. Give him a hand for that. Nowhere close near Bon Scott's which is legendary.

[megamanthehitman]

@Lalo3001 because it's not like corgan is legendary right?

[Tweetmylife]

Billy, I love you, and all, but seriously, this cover sucks.

[jonahko]

omg

[NeonSloaney]

Look at the cover he did of landslide, before you even criticise the great pumpkin.

[NeonSloaney]

What? Because he did it on the spot, and knew the song? I can tell you, he would do a good cover that does justice in the studio if he so wanted.

[92SNM]

im sorry but i was listening to acdc and saw this video dont try and sing if your not bon or brian i mean this is knife in my heart listening to this :(

[Irisheyes77christy]

I am a huge AC/DC fan, but I can appreciate this version. It's very different, but still good.

[maistral]

Το Rock n Roll γράφετε στον δρόμο...!

[priapo2]

Billy Corgan circondato dai classici malanesi di origine terronica.

[gio78ish]

hahahahahahahah sei veramente un coglione,nel senso simpatico ovviamente.coglione!

[destro319]

haha, way fuckin cool!!!

[739335]

¡Que buen momento!... me habría gustado estar ahí.

[holliebadollie]

Why is everyone saying 'Fail' et cetera? That was awesome, and he's so cute: 'Anything else?' How can you not love him?

[elementtxxx]

@Riff28Raff yeah

[elementtxxx]

wow. acting like billy corgan's a bad singer. gtfo. all your ac/dc guy does is sing like he has a dick down his throat. .

[senecide]

@elementtxxx first of fuckin all..... if bon scott sings so damn bad why is this bald bitch doing a cover of his song...second of all ive never herd of this dude and wow. acting like billy suck a dick is more famous then acdc. gtfo. there is a reason they are famous its called...good music and not playin at a fuckin parking lot....its a long way to the top if you wanna rock and roll!!

[senecide]

@elementtxxx also..... i have nothing against billy suck a dick...hes a respectable musician..but, falls short to the glory of acdc

[elementtxxx]

@senecide lol he's playing there for his fans. thats how he's better than that guy from ac/dc. get fucked fag

[senecide]

@elementtxxx acdc plays for fans too dipshit.....in front of millions haha thats how acdc is better...pull your head out of your ass ( bon scott doesnt fuckin mumble like penis head )

[DuMularn]

lovin it! This would be a great studio song for him to do, I'd really like to see what his musical talent can do with it.

Billy shoulda taught that guy how to properly string his guitar. That E ate it early on lol.

[sesper]

damm so bad , horrible

[sir118]

Nice socks...

[bujintao1]

bite me bitchers

[AngryBob907]

FAIL

[ilovemusic514]

i lke ac/dc better

[daven58100]

MY EARS! MY EARS!

[FailedMohawkTV]

AC/DC with a dark pumpkins twist - ok, but not the best

[vampiroangelico]

I actually like this arrangement of the song, but I am not impressed with the fact that Billy could not get that E string tuned....any decent guitarist can handle that in a matter of seconds, took him several attempts and still that string wasn't in tune.

Good thing Italian fans were very appreciative of the fact that he played for them and they chose not to care about the tuning.

[livewireblanco]

I hate playing on shit guitars. That thing kept getting more out of tune as he played. Very cool that big musicians play with the fans.

[ENERG4FREE]

He does suck

[ENERG4FREE]

He does suck.

[straightedger9]

He sucks.

[ENERG4FREE]

He does suck

[slidethang]

Billy Corgan is a mental midget with delusions of grandeur and wouldn't know classic rock if it bit him on his bald headed ass!

[MURILAVA]

you know guys? i think , When you have a great (big punk band) a old amazing band, with gooood songs, and... then, you're complete alone, without band, without everything you become sensitive and sad.

Billy are alone now, playing alone.

please, give him some chance, he's just a man with a great history

i <3 smashing pumpkins ( i buy they last cd yesterday)

[treblagr]

doesn't even sound a little bit good!

[NinjaJedi11]

i dont get it? whats so fucking funny? please leave it to AC/DC though

[evilshreyas]

YEAH! LEAVE IT TO BON OR BRIAN

[theamplifier96]

let Bon Scott do all the singing PLEASE

[bendubz1]

@theamplifier96 He's dead ... you cant leave him to do it

[CMBalkoth]

@theamplifier96 Let AC/DC do everything from now on....PLEASE

[LizRichieBand]

@theamplifier96

its a cover while he was chillin....are you kiddin me????? i've seen ac/dc 43 times since 79 including twice with Bon......this is fantastic for the band.....go easy man

[VitalSigns1]

Is it me or does this guy remind you of a 6 foot tall infant boy? Just look at him and listen to his voice. Such babiness. Aww, poor baby. You suck and can't rock.

[4runner39]

he kinda put his own spin on this..definitely cool..some harsh comments below,Jeez!!it's not that bad,Billy Corgan is a genius (I think)

[oiyabastard]

IM A GONNA BUY A NEW GUITAR . hahahaha hahahah we all love to laugh at billy hahahhahahahaha stupid people this sucks

[ringmap]

its kinda anooying that he stops playing all the time

[Josabeech]

I call it cock-teasing ;)

[Mawgrim]

Hey, I actually liked this performance quite a bit, actually.

Rock on!

[NamasteKiwi]

Rock 'n' Roll!

[heelers]

leave it to Bon mate.

[slagcity]

so if you can pass an audition of american idol you are good? damn... American Idol cheap as hell

he is populair because he can make music and sing it like the way is should

[jerrymontanomusic]

I suppose if you only use these low-key casual perfomances as a gauge of his talent I can see your point, but if you listen to his produced music and live stage performances you'll realize his amazing songwriting ability, musicianship and vocal abilities. It really is astonishing listening to his albums (and live band performances).

[oiyabastard]

@jerrymontanomusic  he sucks the band was good

[oiyabastard]

@2manygitars  he sucks dong look up his early teen band crap . fuckin frustrated rocker

[2manygitars]

Thanks for seeing it my way.

[dennisloans]

kick ass man!!

[tanuki6666]

u r right they do laugh at everything. kinda like his personal fansor something. nothin personal to you Billy corgan fans.

[rmapp59]

[dandemon1989]

[jtcfc]

[yyyuuuguppy]

[pite9]

"Pasta!", lol

[rmapp59]

@pite9 He said, "Basta!" That translates to "enough," like the way we would say in English, "Okay."

[carlosdub]

[nksc2008]

ace this kid sings ace.

[wiseguy989]

not bad but its missing the bagpipes

[Waycooljr294]

you have no song without bag pipes and a rhythm and a lead guitar together. This isnt a bad solo performance thought

[mrzerodocfan]

Descendant of Corganism at Amazon

[154boiler]

I'd be willing to bet that's the best that guitar will ever sound again!!!

[baredd79]

@154boiler or at the very least Brian.

[spiralisedcat]

that was such a cool thing to do,Nice one billy your made of legend dust

[boohoo1902]
