Everyone makes Billy out to be this rude, confrontational egotist but every interview or podcast I've seen him in down the years, he always comes across as a rather humble dude who is happy to engage anyone who is speaking to him in meaningful coversation. And let's be honest, if any of us had half the talent he does, we'd also be egotistical. This man wrote the masterpiece that is Siamese Dream, he has earned the right to be arrogant.

[@Errcyco]

He’s unmodest.. let’s leave it at that. I mean he’s earned being arrogant.. I still don’t like the smell of it. He made MC and Siamese dream though.. so I’m conflicted.

[@joesmith9216]

damn it, where is the rest of this interview????? what a combo here with these two gen X LEGENDS.

[@samclemmons5373]

Billie Corgan dresses like a snowman who has to go to court.

[@adamcoe]

that is one of the most accurate descriptions I have ever heard of that man and I've been a fan of his for 30 years

[@DougUnfunny]

its just so wild that Billy now owns the NWA wrestling company. From Rockstar to wrestling promoter. Jericho went from Wrestler to Rockstar. Would love to hear billy on Jericho's Podcast.

[@AvO156]

Every time I've watched one of Billy's interviews, it amazes me how different his speaking voice is to his singing voice.

[@alittlebitgone]

Also amazes me how sane he sounds.

[@Braindead591]

If you realize Smashing pumpkins never really tried to sound like any one else. They didn’t give in to the numetal or grunge sound. I feel the same way about korn when korn started they created numetal and they didn’t sound like any one else back then.

[@edosaragih2277]

What a legend. Billy Corgan. Hope SP have a concert in Indonesia.

Billy is such a great guest on these talk shows

[@NoviJimB]

Conan should have told George about the guitar. From everything I've ever heard about him he was extremely gracious, and there's a decent chance he would have asked to see it, or at the very least you could have had a conversation about guitars. Bad move! I don't see that as a 'being THAT guy' kind of move at all.

[@gluonjck63]

If you told me 30 years ago that I would be a fan of Billy Corgan I would of said no way period. Now? The best and purest guy there is. Thank you Billy!

The flying V he is talking about would have had to have been a 1967 or latter as the flying V was not reissued untill 67. Unless it was a custom order .

[@hinjurock70]

Trippy - my first guitar was a Fender Mustang and my second was a Gibson V. I love V's.

Conan! Come to Lubbock. I can arrange it so you can play your guitar at the foot of the Buddy Holly Statue, in the Buddy Holly Hall, or even in the very house he used to practice in. Afterward you can add your guitar pick to his grave. Let's do this!

what it got to do with old guys, billy is always been a turtleneck/recent scarves dude , just go google his image, recently he into the scarves fashion

[@openstrings1077]

Wow I never knew Billy Corgan was actually a pretty cool guy. So different from his diva reputation.

[@krisdevalle]

I think he's mellowed. I saw him at a Pumpkins concert about 12 years ago and he was a complete prick. Time changes people. Often for the better.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

@@krisdevalle well, he also has a family. that has something to do with it too.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

what diva reputation do you mean? give examples. i bet i can correct you in any situation you bring up. i met him twice, and he was awesome.

[@krisdevalle]

@@kristopherryanwatson I think he was in a pretty bad place when I saw him. There were no original Pumpkins members playing in the band at the time, and at one point he literally left the stage to do what was obviously a 'coke break'. He was arrogant, bitter and egotistical. Hearing him in this podcast has very much tempered my opinion of him since that concert.

[@warshipsatin8764]

billy corgan always talks about how great jimmy is and how important he is to the smashing pumpkins. the other members might offer an opinion or an idea on how something can be done differently, but it seems like those two are the actual songwriting and recording part of the band

Billy Corgan seems more at ease in his older years. He comes off so likeable in this interview. He used to be filed away under 'people whose work I absolutely love but wouldn't want to hangout with." Now he's someone I'd love to meet and talk to. Fascinating guy.

[@octavioimazio5358]

true. he developed a very cool personality

Billy is 100% right about something about the feeling of owning your hero’s gear. I bought his amp from the Machina tour and it brings back the memory of being 15 and getting my face/ears blasted off in 2000 by him. Amazing.

[@fletchermunson6225]

In the early 80s I drove to Manhattan Beach to buy a Hafler audio amplifier from a fellow. He said that just before I got there he sold his Gibson to Ry Cooder. Small world. I later saw Cooder in a retro show playing backup guitar for Duane Eddy. (40 miles of bad road) Rodker from the 50s and 60s.

"Fair to Midland"? I thought the phrase was "fair to middling." But I didn't go to Harvard, so maybe Conan is right. And I think Buddy Holly was from Lubbock, so maybe he somehow got the amp from a traveling circus/fair that was passing through town on its way to Midland?

[@adamcoe]

Maybe it was an inadvertent Texas reference? Buddy was from Lubbock i think IIRC.
