Billy Corgan - Long Way to the Top

[@sk8rking1234]

man i would like to just meet Billy Corgan one day. I don't live in Chicago but one day i will go there and it would be just amzing to meet him it would make my life complete to meet a legend like that.

[@wiggystardust]

that's magical! i'm sure most of those people will cherish that memory for ever. he's so thin there, the thinnest i've ever seen him. billy could play my guitar whenever he wanted to... he's a genius.

[@alicialovespopcorn]

I will always love Billy Corgan, after meeting him I know that there is a awesome soul there. He looks at you and really listens when you speak, and he really touched my heart. Maybe pompous to people now or whatever but I will always remember the coolest band I ever got to not just meet but actually hang out with , Smasing pumpkins forever :) but BillyCorgan and JAmes Iha, truly are some cool ass people!! Thjank you.

[@crypttonite]

maybe so, but smashing pumpkins r not a band, it’s billy playing everything on the record

[@MrHarco77]

i'm glad i found this.

[@brack909]

Like or loathe Corgan or AC/DC, you must admit that the footage is good. It captures an unguarded and impromptu performance, without any stage-managed bullshit. It's live music at it's most raw and basic. And surely that's what it's all about.

[@jranner]

Billy is THE MAN

[@BRIANCOTNOIR]

I just saw them on their 20th Reunion tour in Boston. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been too. Billy Corgan is the greatest living musician today! :)

[@colmtrim]

i have look at this about 8 times tonite,,,, I love AC/DC, this is brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!!!!!!!!!!

[@gustavouchida1]

This is fantastic

[@kevinkev9996]

Boring

[@ojidomingo]

Many thanks to the one who posted this. Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DevilDogGTO]

Sure beats watching the AMA's. Thanks for the vid...Thanks Billy.

[@dhartmiester]

Saw him twice. His shows are badass. He's a metal machine

[@Couragegirl76]

WOW! If i was there...it would be one of the best moments of my life. Im a huge billy corgan fan!!!

[@pepelino4]

Very Cool Billy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@wileyleuschke8329]

Cool vid - he does that song great on acoustic^ I love how he communicates with his fans, haha billy can still sing anything and it sound cool IMHO. Love ya Billy! "I'll buy you a new guitar."

[@beretof]

it shall NOT be done ! He is smashing ACDC !!!

[@spankeyh27]

he had to tune it down a step. It sounds good a little off like that. He took the guitar from a kid who was just sitting and playing it in that court yard...he is a master!!!

[@rebeldiamondz]

How amazing would it have been to be there? He seems really happy there & content-its good to see, and above all, his talent shines through, amazing voice & brilliant guitar playing!The fact he did that for some fans just shows that he appreciates his fans as we appreciate him. x

[@blueczarina]

I love this video. Billy is awesome. I'll listen to anything he does. It always kicks @ss. :D

[@duwal]

you can't deny the guy has great musical talent

[@InnocentShiver]

Cool vid - he does that song great on acoustic^ I love how he communicates with his fans, haha

[@phil2003ashleigh]

Beast !

[@Softestbullet]

It's good to know that even superstars occasionally have tuning problems too! Corgan rocks!

[@GTOGreg]

Very nicely done...I enjoyed. Didn't imagine Billy covering AC/DC but he did 'em proud.

[@ratmq]

I am a huge AC/DC fan.........And I liked this treatment of a great tune........Was never a huge Pumpkins fan but I could be persuaded to listen to more

[@hisopal]

Billy is so incredible, he should be against the law. Thanks for sharing this. ~opal~

[@j0064]

I wish I was there ! He is such an amazing artist

[@emotionalwench]

This is seriously one of the best things I've ever seen. Thank you SO much for posting this! :) :) :)

[@OsikHunts]

i saw billy at my work place.. totally awesome!

[@corvette6698512]

this is cool. how awesome would it be to have billy corgan playing some AC/DC on the streets. very awesome preformer.

[@ghostsheet]

now that is pure talent!

[@pbourgeois60]

Hmmmm. I've been a AC/DC fan since the 70's....however I really like this version. While I've never been a smashing pumpkins fan, I'm kind of catching onto Billy Corgan solo!

[@trublgrl]

Man, I can't believe all the negative comments! I about 4000% more an AC/DC fan than I am a Smashing Pumpkins fan, but I love this version! No one cares about a cover that sounds like the original, we HAVE the original. Billy Corgan does it in his own way, an if you care, you can hear the lyrics, the MEANING in a different context. I loved it. Words mean things, and they go on forever.

[@mrshhh7841]

I really think Billy likes Italians more than us .

[@ArturoVandelay]

I still remember him on the Simpsons, meeting Homer. "Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins" "Homer Simpson, smiling politely"

[@conkerjb09]

I like how he didn't try to sing it like AC/DC but sang it in his own way. That's the way a cover should be.

[@smashdepmet]

Billiy boy is a genius!! yes the new album, I cant wait for it

[@aSilverRain]

i think this was when billy announced on his myspace page that he wanted to meet up with small groups of fans in a few countries he was visiting..pretty cool!

[@Mistermookey]

I'm not a big fan or Corgan or Smasing Pumpkins, but I think this is just great. It must have been wonderful for these fans. He's having fun, that's the spirit, what else would matter?

[@RocKChick616]

No words can describe how much i love the smashing pumpkins!!! I totally worship them!

[@uzi978]

Very cool video, thanks for posting it!@

[@sslayerr]

considering the circumstances, this is the best cover of the song ive ever heard.

[@pumpkinpie78]

I don't care what people say, Billy ROCKS!

[@trowe76]

This is enough to make me a Billy fan.

[@gowardrork7184]

Great job maaaaaan

[@severusdeath]

billy can still sing anything and it sound cool IMHO. Love ya Billy!

[@joaoleopires]

Good cover, Billy's really a good guitar player and singer!!!!!

[@gmork13]

Excelente cover de Corgan, ¡Vaya manera de tocas la guitarra!

[@kylec1]

wow actually its tight to see him playing this song. hes been all the way to the top. he knows how far it is...corgan is the man

[@mickeymouse8thesnake]

siamese dream and melancholy were two of the greatest albums ever made...

[@Crewka]

Aawww, that's just sweet if nothing else :)

[@jbsgx24]

this was a lot of fun. i'm not the biggest Pumpkins fan, but i will say that Billy is a very talented musician. AC/DC is a ton of fun, but their music starts to all sound the same after a while. It was really cool for Billy to just play for a group of people. That's how we do it in Chicago!

[@soccerman034]

I don't know many rock stars that would just go out on the street and play songs. Thats pretty sweet. Smashing Pumpkins rock!

[@VisionOfTJ]

That wasnt bad at all. Lika a true AC/DC fan i enjoyed it. Thx Billy for showing the gretaest rockn roll band on earth some respect. Good luck with everything.

[@eheadselybuendia]

Damn!!!..billy would never lose it

[@droogzombie]

Awesome, what a talented guy! I love his voice so much, it's so fucking beautiful.

[@colmtrim]

this is the 12th time, its brilliant

[@Pippy187]

[@flangmasterj]

Awesome talent.

[@mikegreenway34]

it is hard putting people together that can really be there for everything, again to end my session, I have met the best, they are my friends, and I love each of them. Just a tribute to everyone that has touched my life in a special way

[@Bro-ne9sw]

[@fenderles]

[@jeahhh]

so sick!!!!!!!!!

[@Raquethands]

Billy Corgan is so adorable!

[@Angus6702]

bravo l'ha suonata davvero bene

[@rabbasfavouriteenemy]

nice, really nice

[@empath69]

@Omegablack420 I'm a hardcore AC/DC fan who's had to struggle for years to accept Brian replacing Bon (even though some of my fave songs wouldn't have existed if Bon hadn't...well) But I'm pretty impressed with Mr. Corgan's impromptu cover. His vocals don't quite have the same *power*, but hey, he's Billy, not Bon or Brian. And of course, there's no bagpipes, but you can't have everything. ;)

[@GrazianoBasstard33]

billy corgan is great

[@FlingwingGolfer]

that bobbing chick with the butterfly glasses on the right is CLASSIC!

[@boiadedios]

I met him at milano airport and he is really a great guy!!

[@TooManyClares]

Legend.

[@hypotriox]

I could be wrong but i think Billy organ here is playing in Florence, near the Uffittzi Gallery (which has the "Birth of Venus") , could be wrong. i visited Italy and this area looks familiar.

[@likeasquid]

@Robbo639 I'm pretty sure its a Ibanez V72ECE but I could be wrong. They look very much alike

[@hueldereich]

kickass cover

[@SkoolOfRock123]

@pokerinvite yea you just play a basic c cord but move it up to the 3rd fret then take your ring finger off and move it to the top string and put your pinkie right below it on the a string, i think thats how you do it

[@rrguitar1]

ACDC is NOT overrated at all. They are pure rock n roll and Angus is one of the greatest rock n roll guitarists that has ever walked this earth! He may not be the most technical, but he is all blues and his presence is second to none! Billy corgan is a joke!

[@5PcTenderCombo]

what an entertainer

[@LisaCavallaro]

Rock over Italy Billy!!

[@ninelivecat]

Hey cool nice version

[@stevedogg022]

can anyone tell me the chord progression please?

[@katkal3]

frank black always does this before a show, he does a small acoustic show outside for the peeps before the main show inside.
