It took me a second to even realize this was Billy C. He's so thin. (he's 6'3" and normally well over 200 lbs.) Theses thoughts are philosophical and impressive to me. He's gone through some serious shit and he's processed it well. I saw him on Joe Rogan's podcast recently and he's even more thoughtful and, seemingly, at peace.

I just found this and I’m thankful I did. I began recalling previous abuse I had masked for so long and I’ve had problems with emotion regulation. However, watching this displayed that I do need help and I can’t battle these demons on my own. Thank you Billy

Billy Corgan = Protect.

He is such a beautiful, intelligent and *wise* human being...this isn't coming from one of his obsessive fans, either. I'm just very much impressed with his views on many things and wish the rest of stardom could embrace that as well and truly be a good influence on humanity.

I literally thought that was some acquaintance of Billy Corgan, kinda talking about him!

It's funny that Billy in this interview says he "made up his mind to have nothing to do with drugs or alcohol" but doesn't consider taking handfuls of LSD to have a negative impact on his life or emotional wellbeing.

thank you for sharing humbly and honestly Billy Corgan. i fully believe Jesus is the Answer for the human condition. Jesus came to reveal the mercy of God the Father. to restore us to perfect authority, love, provision and protection. Identity can only be found in the creator who took on a human body entered His creation to love us and provide mercy and justice in punishing our sins to free us and demonstrate his love for us. turn from your sins and trust the good news. that God in Jesus is not counting our sins against us and will adopt us as his own. This is my experience and my hope.

Love smashing pumpkins, love billy, case closed❤

Is this around the same time he reconnected with Courtney Love? I feel like that always seem to coincide with his major depressions, frankly people only connect with her when they are at their lowest (Cobain, Corgan, even Fielding). In Billy’s case I wonder if he was drawn to her damage and just got pulled too far down. Anyway, his words here are so profound I’m glad that he pulled through this and that he seems to be in a great place now.

This was around 2005-07... I think the 2000s were really rough for him and I know he changed his diet often which makes me wonder if he lowkey had an eating disorder. He started gaining a lot of weight back around 2011-2012. I've heard speculation about other factors but it's obvious he was pretty unhappy after Zwan collapsed and the SP revival wasn't greeted with much positivity.

Never liked or trusted this guy. Also his music isn’t just from the heart, he puts too much thought into what he believes people want rather than what he really feels. He’s not a “from the heart” kinda guy, he thinks commercially and tried to guess what will make him money based on what he believes will be the next sell no point. Never liked his music or trusted him as a person. Imo lol

@werideatdusk

This is true only to a point. His musical output is so voluminous and a lot of it was clearly made without that kind of pretense. His solo albums in particular are very sincere and unique, also the Pumpkins album Adore. Even his "commercial" hits like Today and Disarm are extremely raw. Now I do think his more recent output under the Pumpkins moniker has been clouded by commercial considerations, absolutely. But we are seeing more experimental fare on Cyr and Atum, alongside his more recent solo albums Ogilala and Cotillions which are definitely worth checking out.
