How I Got The Gig With SMASHING PUMPKINS!

[@michaelr.4878]

I love how the Revv channel features and interviews players that don't play or primarily play their amps. A lot of companies wouldn't do that.

[@jaysharpESQ]

Well their ads for their products are showing at the foot of my phone as I watch this... So we'll be sure to see more companies doing just this very type of thing very soon now.

[@MashaT22]

As a fellow female, I’m glad one of my favorite bands picked a gal. Kiki is awesome and totally deserves to be on that stage! Great interview!

[@Malum09]

Way to go, Kiki! Hope she records at least one album with them.

[@troyellis1513]

Her talent outweighs her looks a million-fold. Godspeed Kiki! It's ALL deserved!!

[@kevinbabineaux3014]

Kiki is so fking awesome. I used to ask on her KZbin channel, when are you getting a band together? And boom ,a year later she's with the pumpkins. Fking awesome!!! Kiki is fire . What a great musician.!!? Love her!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@TimMikol]

I couldn’t finish the interview. Another interviewer who likes to hear himself talk and show the guest how much he knows. You have Kiki there! I want to hear what SHE has to say.

[@Dabby2000]

So true, awful interview

[@jaysharpESQ]

She is phenomenal. Kudos to BC for recognizing another pure soul and great talent.

[@BackWoodsBillyCraftBeerReviews]

She's a great guitarist as well as violinists... Great VIDEO ... Cheers 🍻 🥃🥃 🎸 🎵🎶🎶🎶

[@eggncream]

She’s an amazing addition to the pumpkins, gives great energy on stage congrats Kiki

[@RevvAmps]

She puts on a killer show!

[@SOLDOZER]

Shes a DEI hire.

[@geepike]

@@SOLDOZER not familiar with the band’s history huh? *slow clap* Stop trolling bs and watch “If All Goes Wrong”. Or any of their 90s videos. SP would burn the bridge they stood on before playing those games. Rare case of Art First.

[@imagenesmentales]

I just saw Smashing Pumpkins in Costa Rica, and Kiki was AMAZING! Also got a couple of her guitar pics 🤘🏻

[@thomaschumley3904]

Kiki deserves So much more fame than she gets! What an amazing player And force on stage!!

[@RevvAmps]

She is awesome. Killer player, and a great hang.

[@geepike]

Can’t wait to check out Kiki’s playing! If it’s half as good as she is fun, awesome, and beautiful…it’s gonna be amazing 🔥. Great interview Revv, all the best Kiki 👊🏻🤘🏻

I am Dwight Cummins btw I'm 50 and in Louisville Kentucky

[@MCSA210]

Plays great, looks great. . . Congrats!!!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I wish this interview was 3x times as long! Been following Kiki for a while now and she’s both a badass guitarist and hilarious! So happy for her. 🤘

[@jefferyschmitz3009]

Great interview! She rocks

[@patrickjohnson1267]

Kiki is an amazing addition to my favorite band. The energy she brings is infectious!

[@thseed7]

Smashing Pumpkins couldn't have done any better 🤘

[@shemarlosscott2656]

Kiki Wongo is Wonderful

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

Great interview!

[@ericsmith6633]

Great interview Derek! That’s crazy you mentioned miles, and when he got the alterbridge gig, cause I had that convo with him too! We got to play one of alterbridge’s 1st tours. It was the spring jager music tour, and my band waiting 4 never got to open for them, and i remember talking with him about that! Just brought back memories. But ya man, killer interview bro

[@joecoupon8299]

All of those brow beatings from Mom and Dad to master a musical instrument has paid off!!!

[@liferacermusic]

Very cool congrats Kiki!

[@AyDubs007]

So happy for Kiki. So great to see people succeed 🎉

[@jayteesgear]

I didnt know Smashing had a new member. Congratulations Kiki! I will have to come see Smashing

[@RevvAmps]

They are awesome with Kiki!

[@kimthompson5871]

Absolutely love Kiki !

[@metalpunk9519]

Love Kiki so great to see she seems to be the same person she portrays herself to be on her youtube channel, wishing her all the best! Line 6 rules😆great interview Bro.🤘🕶🦇

[@arcee11]

I am so happy for Kiki. 🎉❤

[@dadvibes8861]

Man she’s gorgeous!

[@danabiondo9243]

Calm down Shes Taken. 🙂. Like Eggs, Bacon.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

​@@danabiondo9243 Doesn't make her any less gorgeous 🤔

[@josephguillermo3007]

I’m so glad that she’s getting props now. She shredded on online and now to see her with the pumpkins, that’s so badass. I hope she will record with them. Way to go Kiki! 👽💜🤘🏼

[@SteveResor]

Great Interview.. She has so much Energy !!

[@RevvAmps]

It was my first time meeting her in person, and it was just a blast chatting gear with her!

[@Zen-yt8jj]

We love her ❤❤❤❤

[@JamesStreetStation]

Kiki is living my "Rock Star" dream, only mine is with Five Finger Death Punch. Sadly Andy already got that gig, and he's much more qualified than me. =) I was SO stoked to hear when she got the gig with SP. I'd been following her for quite a while on YT. She's a real character. A VERY talented character.

[@TauRiOneill]

Kiki’s a treasure.❤

[@gumpymcbarfbag3884]

Badass kiki, great band = I have to see them!!!

[@wrzkace1]

what a cool story Kiki shreds!!

[@kjchicago1]

Kiki Wong will make a great rock guitarist

[@NabilTouchie]

Saw her rocking in Bogotá! It was great!!

[@arjanhurkmans9190]

she is such a great player and I'm looking forward with a new SP record !! good times!

[@robertfraser7199]

This isn't an interview. This is some guy from Winnipeg talking non stop.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

She seems cool.

[@Manhandled2024]

I do to play guitar

[@dirktucker77]

Saw you play a few months ago in spokane Wa. You rocked!!

[@Manhandled2024]

I am her man!

[@Eric_01]

I've followed her on TT for a quite a while and when I heard about her getting the gig I thought, "oh, she was plugged in all along." I was way off! I love that she was just a girl with a poopie combo amp just having fun and got a huge chance and experience of a lifetime. It's more like Myles Kennedy than just one way, it reminds me of him getting pulled onto the stage at the end of Rock Star.

[@soundbreak7]

congrats kiki ! great story

[@KreativeDevices]

Let's Go! 🙌

[@justinanderson9972]

Great little interview

[@Alex_Martz]

You have 2 BIG reasOOns !

[@MrSuperUltimate]

I watched her videos before..that's cool she's a pro now. I didnt know she gave up on music at one point because she was already pro level good at guitar. I hope i'm that lucky with mixing music on a pro level someday.

[@Jim-g2m]

I get what Kiki is talking about, I have played gig's to just the bar staff, the next band, and the people who came to the gig with me.

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

Call interview. I admit I’ve never heard of her before and she seems super awesome. But, would’ve like to know how she got into playing guitar. Did she go to school for guitar playing? Is she a studio musician. I’m sure there’s other videos with that information.

[@robertsmolinski8685]

She is awesome. Love her on instagram

[@IanHaghighat]

Way to go Neil for the push!

[@joetristan]

There was an audition?

[@joetristan]

I assumed my reputation preceded me

[@ZhangXiaoYing-ur6tn]

💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗Kiki 我想同Kiki一齊做個音樂項目！我有寫好嘅歌曲，準備好巡迴演出！🐉🐉 I'd like to do a music project with Kiki! I've got the songs written and I'm ready to tour!

[@kierenmoore3236]

“Well, thanks so much for listening to me today, and for laughing so politely, and have s great rest of the tour …” 🙄🤐😏

[@justinanderson9972]

I love my line six spider 4 I don't care what anybody says thing is loud and it does not sound that bad

[@jfo3000]

Agreed my brother! Lots of compliments on "the tone" of my amp...before they know it's a Line 6, lol!!! One seasoned player thought it was a Mesa, I guess because of the knobs. Think I'll 3D print another logo plate for it!

[@alxra]

Rainn Wilson is all over the place these days!

[@Eric_01]

😆

[@michaelr.4878]

Cool job to land! Great player. But based on Billy's history with band members..I'm surprised he didn't ask her to transition to bass. hehe.

[@Manhandled2024]

I know how she got the gig hehehe

[@davidblack5551]

She's one ultimate female 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@applehead252]

I’m so glad I didn’t waste my time. I knew it was a hoax. She is so good and fits perfectly so everything works out! Awesome lovely girl.

[@JVMC_ZR1]

I hope she makes those faces live 😂

[@altair0800]

although she is not offaly in the band - i still RESPECT what she has to play. when you bring it, you play it, and that s that. enough is enough - with these negative coments!!

[@Manhandled2024]

I know how she got the gig

[@Manhandled2024]

He doesnt realize, the interview is about my ole lady, not about him lmmfao

[@TheNorthwestWind]

good story

[@rexchiquine6049]

Way more important than raising your child,,,

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Wait, what is this great $100 amp you speak of?

[@myerkord]

How i got Big Pumpkins 😂😛😛😛

[@abel3497]

They might change their band name to Smashing Melons 😂

[@jaymz_rg1003]

I've done my share of gigs where they're less than 10 people and we'd just treat it more like practice, lol.

[@alejandrorosales6937]

Kiki as a musician ❤ and woman in your music 🎶 if it's vocals guitar 🎸 drums bass 🔊 play it cool 😎 and save okay 👌 I just whant this virus to end so you can go and enjoy 😉 the good things with friends partying working on your songs 🎵 relax

[@Truthinshredding1]

4:28 Kiki Wong describes why she is the business

[@Manhandled2024]

She doesn't really care, about what instruments you can play lil man lmmfao

[@mickdestiny6542]

Congratulations! I wish you all the best. And don't forget to HAVE FUN AND ROCK THE FUCK OUT!

[@cryptowatch-ed7cm]

Well….she’s definitely the best looking member of the band!🤩..just hope she doesn’t Yoko them😜

[@TheGgreen100]

Excruciatingly hot asian woman guitar player: yeah so I just showed up to a world famous, culture-defining band and everybody just vibed and I got the gig and it was great. EZPZ! Everybody should audition for a historically significant band, it's so easy!

[@RevvAmps]

I mean, they put out an open call on the internet for people to audition....seems pretty easy :)

[@TheGgreen100]

@@RevvAmps SO easy! Everybody should do it!

[@greylocke100]

You guys interviewed Kiki and didn't let her slide into frame? Shame....

[@Adam-pi9nb]

Being Asian probably played a big part ☺️ every second guitarist in the band has been so,

[@eyeriiis]

Simple answer because you're a smokeshow

[@oleksiistri8429]

smashin pumpkins and a heavy metal guitar player ? a weird combination, but will gladly look at the outcome

[@RevvAmps]

yeah, and she rips!

[@curragh4635]

You know nothing about Corgan then cause he was a metal head, and he can shred with the best of them.

[@supersnuffles102]

Smashing Melons

[@SOLDOZER]

Pumpkins is easy to play and shes a DEI hire.

[@andyd2296]

So was James for being Japanese, D'arcy for being female (and Jewish), Jimmy for being Hungarian, and Billy for being Irish.

[@honigdachs.]

Small dick energy.

[@zThisPlay]

its very clear why she got the gig... no need for interview

[@markmalonson7531]

Just don't compete it's taking it's toll on the meistro in my rtard opinion. Corgan Chamberlain and Iha fuckin rock the dreams level stuff literally jumps outa the speakers . Let um do anything they want message to the captors arena circus. He sold himself to make you successful smart man.

[@Eric_01]

🤔😵‍💫😳

[@pumpkins6293]

she's maybe a great guitarist but ( as an early pumpkins fan ) she's useless....why a third guitarist ( two is a golden figure ) ...

[@lionaudio]

So Billy can sing without playing the more complex stuff at the same time. Pretty simple

[@pumpkins6293]

@lionaudio have u ever play guitar ? Corgan is a fucking guitar player..so why ? They unfortunately dont rock as before....billy is fat...it impacts on his singing...and they just can't give more than before...you know if Schneider left the band...just because he was useless and looked alone playing pour guitars parts

[@hokangustavsson]

Thank you @kikiwongo & host @revvamps!!! Energetic , inspiring, pathopening, ideafilled full interview ..... 🤟😊
