Oh!!! Love Billy. It was my favorite band of the 90s. I love that magical and mysterious atmosphere that all his music has.
"Space Age" with the Siamese Dream distortion would be up there with Mayonaise! 🤩 💜
Love Billy ! Amazing rock music genius!
absolutely beautiful song Today❤❤❤❤
A true legend!
I’m so stoked thanks for letting me see this video
12:45 what a beautiful song when it’s played on guitar and not drenched in synths.

Uno de los más talentosos músicos de la escena del rock de los últimos 30 años. Leyenda viva y que sigue renovándose con cada nuevo trabajo.CRACK!
Space Age. finally, a new song i can myself listening to more than a couple of times before i return to listening to old Pumpkins stuff.
Still got it!
Lovely voice and a great rendition.
Cool interview!
Very nice - thanks for sharing. "Every day is Sunday..." LOL! 🙏
Love that dude.......
I'm ready for the weekend

Love Billy!! Would've definitely been 100% forced to play Today instead of a new song. Damnnit KROQ let the man play his new shit, let it shine, it's so good!!!! Sure, Today is a good song but he literally could've showcased a new song!!
The chord changes in Space Age sound great in this version. Great choice to play.
18:40 Billy doing his own voice is super funny.
The same and sweet voice since early 90’s! ❤

I honestly hadn't heard him speak or perform in many years. I think the most recent thing I had seen from Billy was the podcast he did with Joe Rogan, and that was maybe 5 years ago. It sounds like his voice has gotten quite a bit deeper/scratchier since then. It's not bad or anything, I think he still sounds pretty good for being in guy in his mid 50's who spent most of his life touring and performing for people, but in my opinion his voice is quite a bit different than the early 90's.
wow that was a great version of today
Really need to see Billy Corgan react to random music he's never heard of!

I was a huge Pumpkins fan in the 90's and I've always found Billy to be a pretty interesting guy. I know he's briefly mentioned in past interviews (I think on Joe Rogan and Howard Stern) about how he had some bizarre experiences when he was younger, and how he apparently encountered someone who was a "shape shifter," which I always assumed meant the person was some kind of alien body snatcher or demonic being... I don't know enough about it to really say much else, but I always wanted to hear Billy tell the story in depth for obvious reasons. I thought maybe he was going to mention it when he started talking about the existence of aliens and witnessing what he believed to be a UFO, but I guess not. It seems like he's apprehensive about talking about it publicly, which unfortunately makes me think we'll never get to hear the full story.

He talks more about it on Howard Stern. It was a woman that shape shifted while they were in bed. He says he'll tell the full story when he writes his book. Hopefully, that comes sooner than later.

@@brokentoysmusic Yeah that’s pretty much all I’ve ever been able to find about it. I’ve always been interested in weird ghost/alien/UFO stories like skinwalker ranch, so hopefully he explains in detail someday.
When are the smashing pumpkins going to get anew singer?
Is there a CFOX interview?
Aliens- Dr. Octagon
Man, who did you have spitting into that mic before Billy... Alien?
This concept sounds like david bowie ground control mixed with frank zappas joes garage.
00:15
somebody get him a guitar stand, come on guys!!!
I recall Billy saying he never really found a way to get an acoustic guitar to sound right live on stage, so will he tour this atum triple album would be a 5 hour performance?
Come on everyone, say it with me: "We are Free, We are Free..." [Sarcasm].
Billy just never wanted to be the "rock star" we wanted him to be. He easily could have. SP could have easily been more successful than nirvana. He chose not to. Mad respect. Im impressed how preserved his voice is. Sounds like 93 corgan

ATUM sounds like Billy put a load of 'space rock opera' words into an AI chatbot, sang whatever words were spat out and plunked a load of synths over the top. Nonsense with synths. The joke is on the people that enjoy it.
Wait, his middle name isn't Mayonnaise?
