Billy Corgan MTV 120 Minutes 1993 Interview (FULL)

Interview with Smashing Pumpkins singer Billy Corgan on MTV's 120 Minutes with Lewis Largent, 1993.
Apologies for the not so great video quality, but it's better than nothing.

[@bentoblaster]

MTV needs release early 90's stuff in HD. That'll be awesome.

[@BonySopraneaux]

Nope That’s weak. This is what it was. Enjoy it

[@mabusestestament]

That’s assuming they would have an HD version of this somewhere which I think is unlikely.

[@jlouis4407]

We will still be talking about this album in 50 years

[@Blooodhail]

Dude he is so pretty

[@prettyprrrrettaygood]

goddamn he looked beautiful during this period

[@warmfish5732]

Bro he’s like 3.5 pixels

[@jimmbear3998]

Wow he is so young here. I have heard Billy on Howard Stern show a couple times in longer interviews, he is very interesting and has unique perspectives. I like it that he is so much different and didn’t try to simply be another cookie cutter hair metal type rocker.

[@MEEG0L]

I was a little kid in the 90's, makes me nostalgic seeing stuff like this.

[@patrickreichert1442]

Takes me back in such a great way! Interviewers and interviewees didn’t take themselves so seriously

[@TolyTheTolerBear]

That Cherub Rock video -which Billy absolutely loathes -was what got me hooked on the Pumpkins (even though I would’ve also loved Billy’s original vision for it, turned into an actual video).

[@web-tbears]

I used to have this on VHS a long time ago. Lewis Largent loved Billy's coat. "You can't have it."🤣🤣🤣

Halloween of 1993. The night River Phoenix died.

[@kondodurham2599]

...makes 2:44 eerie huh?

[@user-oi7nz1iw7v]

River Phoenix was supercool😢

[@OriginalMasters]

“You can’t have it, Lewis.” Really enjoyable interview.

[@Iffy]

He was roughly the same age his Mrs is now in 2021

[@c0smicc4nc3r4]

1:34 This made me laugh so hard, two whole different spectrums in my opinion

[@BrainBlissedOut]

Thanks for sharing! (second)

[@soygenesis7405]

Christen dunst looks like him

[@patrickreichert1442]

Gavin Dunst Rossdale maybe?

[@Ry77x]

It’s the teeth

[@lippi2171]

This is the era of Billy Corgan that would "walk into Beverly Hills and pay cash for a Ferrari"

[@liveillusion]

He was about to say guns n roses then quickly corrected himself saying minus the heavy metal poeples..

[@Bianca-333]

Woah 😳

[@EmMagna-nd3nx]

River Phoenix died that night and Hollywood went to shit from there.

[@patheticpear2897]

Billy is so contrarian he doesn't even take the label atypical.

[@MrOctober44]

Lewis Largent gets so uncomfortable when Dio is referenced.

[@Nickatlrke1014]

Why is his hair so short? This is in 1993 and he still had very long hair in ‘92

[@jlouis4407]

He obviously doesn’t like the video for Cherub Rock

[@stevewoodhouse6106]

Billy Corigan's so rude He said when He suffeed verbal abuse, wonder why

[@cdreyes81]

First

[@yellowjackboots2624]

Is he Shrek for Halloween?

[@bradhilton2283]

I always hated nirvana!

[@yusufalasmi8923]

No need to go that far

[@bradhilton2283]

@@yusufalasmi8923 but it’s true ! Hey let’s get hock on heron , blow our heads off ! , leave leave our wife and new born daughter behind and let all of our legions of fans down. Rock and roll seams to think that Kurt was the prototype for modern music. He sucks ! He a total babe hating feminist! Rock and roll 🎸 is supposed too be about banging hot chicks with huge Tits! Not hanging your self with a belt in some S&M thing gone wrong ( Michael hutchens , INXS) hey I loved Corgan and the pumpkins in the 90’s , the chilly Peppers racked as well ( Anthony kinies got some great pussy) Axel roes , Lemmy ( love that mans taste in women👍🏻) metallic, sabbath,zeppelin, Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz . Kurt Cobain was a weinner that got wedgeied really hard in hight school and never quite recovered. I like Boston and Queen , cure and the smiths . Depec mode and u2 , rock’n roll needs to get over Kurt Cobain and expect that he was a false prophet and “ Not that good” . Personally I don’t like the Ramons I find them annoying . Why not give black flag , sonic youth , the replacements or huskerdu a listen when it comes to punk , or the dead Kennedy’s and the misfits. Rock and is about banging really hot chicks with huge TITIES, not crying in you bear all the time . Music that matters with pussy that taste great .

Brad Hilton Fuckn hell man, so where does that leave us women that play? Why does making music have to come down to male sexist Neanderthal levels as you’ve stated?

[@bradhilton2283]

@@atwistoflemon666 being sexxy is not a crime and should not be treated as such. It’s a part of or matting ritual, feminist like Kurt Cobain have helped castrate white culture metaphorically. That’s why we are now bombarded by these “ Big booty Hoes” instead of our classical bombshells that have an Ora of class and sophistication .Kurt Cobain thought by adopting a feminist policy that he was helping women, but he didn’t. He helped ostracize women for the sole fact that they were beautiful. He helped make “ Hot Chicks “ not feel welcome in the rock’n roll community, made these beautiful women feel ashamed of themselves for the sole fact that they were beautiful. He and his feminist friends would be the first ones too call a woman a “ Whore or a Slut “ based on there appearance, how judgemental is that ? Too judge a woman based on her appearance. Now they assume a woman must have low IQ because she has large breasts. This sort of mindset has paved the way by such individuals as Kurt Cobain. The rock community has put far too much emphasis on one man , that only his options matter ..Well perhaps it is time for a different opinion? Because his ideology did work out rather well for him. Let’s see he hates attractive women base on there appearance, got himself addicted to heroin and took his own life and by doing so left his wife and new born daughter behind, along with all of his friends and family. Maybe it’s time too forget about unhygienic dirts like Kurt Cobain and Julian Casablanca’s and pave a New Way . Sexxy is not a crime and neither is going “ Huge” or “ Bombshell “ . Rock’n Roll is a metaphor for sex . What’s sexxy about having a rig hanging out your arm as you pass out in your arm chair ? ~ Brad

[@atwistoflemon666]

Brad Hilton You Sir, need to make yourself a time machine and get your ass back to the 80s!! G’day! 🙂

[@totalpartykill999]

it really is nothing short of a miracle the Pumpkins didnt break up right at this point. the break up was still inevitable, but i am happy they kept it together for a little while longer.
