Billy Corgan lead singer, songwriter and guitarist of The Smashing Pumpkins reflects on the songwriting and recording process of one of the most important bands in rock music history. Corgan has been at the forefront of the alternative rock music scene for over three decades. His distinct voice and guitar playing, as well as his often-provocative lyrics, have made the Smashing Pumpkins one of the most influential bands of their generation. Here is my interview.

This for me is the best interview Iā€™ve seen from Billy. You let him flow and didnā€™t have a preconceived plan of questions. He looked nervous at the start, like he was being interviewed for the first time protective of his band and their latest single, slowly releasing the joy and magic that he had at the time of recordings and the eclectic mix of amazing producers, engineers and musicians he has worked with. If you could bottle this, the world would be an awesome place. As it is, this can go down as the most emotive and beautiful capturing of Billy discussing one of the most spectacular bands of all time. ā¤ā¤ā¤

Watching Rick go from talking about Hackintoshes 5 years ago to interviewing Billy, Joni Mitchell, Tim Henson, all these people... It's amazing. He was a music educator, touring musician, hired cover band guitarist, a producer, back to the internets favorite music educator and now he's the best rock journalist. Rick is a national treasure.

Ok. Iā€™ve never been a fan of Smashing Pumpkins and my impression of Billy Corgan was that he was insane. So I came to the first moments of this video watching only because I trusted Rick Beato and if he thought Billy was sufficiently important to interview, I would spare a few minutes to listen. Within the first minutes I was transfixed. I then started bouncing back and forth to Spotify to listen to the songs being discussed, sometimes recognizing them a bit and sometimes hearing them for maybe the first time. I listened to the entire interview, with those song discovery breaks, and was so impressed with Billy Corganā€™s depth of knowledge and depth of commitment to his craft and his art. Spectacular interview, and it produced another nascent Pumpkins fan in the making.

I swear to God, I could listen to Billy Corgan talk about music for hours. Itā€™s almost therapeutic in a way.

I was 10 years old in '95 when Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness came out. Changed my life. I was a depressed kid with an alcoholic father, parents were getting divorced that year, moved to a new neighborhood. But when I got this cd, I wasn't angry or depressed anymore. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard. It transported me to a better world. Billy, James, Jimmy and D'Arcy saved my life.

I agree. This isnā€™t just one of his best interviews. Itā€™s one of the best musician interviews Iā€™ve ever seen.

If you are a Smashing Pumpkins fan this is the greatest thing ever. Just a superb interview about their albums, songs, and the recording process. Billy Corgan is one of the most intelligent musicians around. What a talented and articulate guy. Way to go Rick, another homerun!!!

I've never really seen Billy like this before. I think it is a testament to Billy's respect for Rick that allowed him to have a conversation like this. I will be watching this interview many more times.

No one is probably going to read this but "Disarm" is one of my all time favourite songs. It's just so hauntingly beautiful.

The revelation that Billy revealed about Butch after the Nirvana job becoming resolved to make sure The Pumpkins would have a hit record with Siamese Dream is exactly the kind of deep dive answers that Ricks interviews are adding to history that we wouldnā€™t get any other way. Thank you Rick for that.

When Billy says, "unless you want me to talk over the track". Lol, he is so subtle.

Rick Beatoā€™s interviews are simply the best. He asks a question & then allows the artists all the time to fully respond that they need. He treats them respectfully. Rick is a gift to music appreciators.

The way Disarm leaves space for the strings to open wide, is the way Rick left space for Billy to dynamically expand the interview. This was magestic.

Quite simply one of the best interviews of a rock legend ever. I have watched this video twice, and the thing that stands out the most, is Rick Beato's absolute respect for the music, production, and the artist's vision only. No questions about the band, the drama, infighting, reunions, none of that. Thank You Rick for doing this, I hope to see more of these. šŸ˜ƒšŸ‘

This band was always my drug of choice navigating thru the dark times of teenage adolescence.. Siamese Dream is still my go to at 43 when life happens. Great interview, thank you.

I've seen several interviews with Billy Corgan over the years and this is easily one of the best. Your ability to connect with artists who have a reputation of being notoriously guarded and then to disarm them with your shared language of music is a joy to watch.
