Joe Rogan Experience

Billy Corgan is a musician, songwriter, producer, poet, and entrepreneur. His new album "Ogilala" produced by Rick Rubin, is available now.

[@Mohawks_and_Tomahawks]

I met Billy Corgan on Whyte Ave, in Edmonton back in the mid 90's. He was coming out of Chapters Book store. My GF asked if we could take his picture, or get a picture with him. He said "I only do One of those." Dude was so chill, pretty playful. He made her guess which one lol. We gave her camera to his body guard, who took a few pics of the 2 of us with Billy. I've met a few Rockstars, and Billy was easily the most fun and human. He took his time with us, and laughed, and smiled. Made us feel special actually. Super cool guy.

Absolutely ageee. I remember the first time i heard anything from that album..it was the day it came out and my best friend and i were about 15 and walking down the street coming from dennys ( where kidd hung out for coffee in the town i grew up in.) A guy we knew was a huge fan of SP and he stopped to give ud a ride and bodies was playing..i was like what is this we r listening to and he said the new pumpkins double and he told me he had just bought it first day and had already listened to and wad just driving afound playing it over and over..after that the videos were everywhere on mtv and vh1...today that album is still listenable.

[@avedic]

SP were in the day, and always will be, my favorite 90s band ever. All the other big ones were excellent and I love them too. But...the Pumpkins were something altogether different. Their output was _enormous_ ....the b-sides and rare songs and demos and on and on...there's SO much. Easily 4x their studio output. And it's _all_ excellent music. Sure, there's some weak songs with that kind of output...but the overwhelming majority of it is just incredible. Hell...their last album of that era...Machina II(just a toss-off free album) is fucking amazing. So.....all that said, I'm a fan lol. And I really enjoyed this podcast. Billy circa-now is actually a pretty cool human being. He's quite smart...but also increidbly odd and unique, but very aware of that...and just going after what he wants in life.

Trent Reznor would be great but Edgy Bravo would have to be there because liked Corgan, Reznor is a total pro and knows how to stay in his comfort zone, talking about the things he's recited time and time again, as eloquent and engaging as he always is.

Hearing Smashing Pumpkins brings this memory every time . While i was at Marine Combat Training (MCT), Camp Geiger NC; My Grandfather had passed away. He was in the Army retiring as a LtCol. His passing was during our field week in late 1995 if memory serves. In short I was in a rather low place as one can imagine. On the return hump The platoon Sgt. turned "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" into a road march cadence. I can see him after all this time sounding off on my shoulder keeping me going. Yes we are new Marines and instructors are hard asses. I have much apparition for them looking out for me in difficult times. On a side note The Co 1stsgt asked me if i would be returning home for his funeral. I told him i would not and continue training. My grandfather would have wanted me to stay. We shoke hands and nearly in tears said i have seen many before me who chose to delay their training. Back to training i went. Semper Fi

Gerardo Vitale did they talk about it in this podcast?

[@terribletimes01]

Joe" I've been waiting 1 hr 50 mins to ask the shape shifting story"Rogan

[@AXharoth]

he knows how to market shit xD

[@teleportmassive537]

729Drew wow smh...

[@EGoltz]

Gerardo Vitale and the I went back to not liking Billy

[@thedude2867]

Most people don't know Billy was a talented athlete in the day.I used to play football with him every once and a while and the guy could throw the ball.Also the guy is a really hard worker,I remember them playing at small clubs, in the early 90s ,to crowds of 50 people sometimes less.The band kept gringing it out until Joe Shanahan(owner of the Metro) took them under his arm and really helped the Pumpkins get launched onto the national music scene.

[@CL-xp4ee]

Joseph Decorrevont that’s cool

[@cainanneedham9022]

“Shoot a rocket ship filled with cash over there!” Is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard Joe say. Hahaha

[@brodyharris7631]

I dug this interview. I come back to it every few months

[@djtaitai]

He should definitely invite more musicians on the show. Hearing different perspectives of the music world is super fascinating, similar to an actor and the crazy world of acting.

[@Taylorsaskatchewan]

The Joe Corgan experience

[@Mattpein]

Taylor Saskatchewan lolol

[@francisbegbie1008]

I never really paid attention to the pumpkins back in the 90s but I'm liking there songs now .music is timeless

[@yumpie100]

francis begbie Today is the greatest day i’ve ever known

[@scottslonski1688]

One of the Best JR Podcasts! Def one of my favs

[@mitchapalooza1]

I feel like we often come here to shit on Joe or the guest, but no complaints on this one. And I have to say that I really noticed that Joe seemed on point and focused with his questions today. Did a really good job of leading the conversation and drawing thoughtful responses from Billy. Obviously Billy was an extremely eloquent and engaging guest. A good exchange of energy regardless. Loved this one.

[@aprilurbanek9505]

He's back on the cannibus #Focused

[@ROESPLETZ]

I agree to what you said 100% well said! I come here cause I think Joe has a great mind and with his popularity he’s able to pull some pretty interesting guests. Not to hang on his nuts I just like the guy!

[@robertchamberlin2072]

So boring.zzzzzz

[@mikeschmidt2257]

You don’t think joe ended the interview because billy wouldn’t tell the story?

[@theprimagen]

Mitchell Gelz well said!

[@SirChadofWick]

Call up Trent Reznor and get him on here soon.

[@rogerhoke9725]

Chad Marshall I just don't think Trent is the type of person to talk about everything he does for multiple hours at a time. But if joe could get him on here and talking it would be amazing.

[@SirChadofWick]

Roger Hoke he’s been on long form interviews before. Maybe not THIS long but I can definitely see him opening up more at this stage of his life.

[@stinkfinga4918]

Theres no way, its too laid back and casual. He never ges into anything non-business related.

[@kniveznor1]

Hope it happens.

[@darragh9512]

I would love to hear this, it would be among the dream podcasts for me and considering they live in LA maybe it is possible, or maybe get Dave Grohl, but he is on tour so not possible. Joshua Homme would be a good second.

[@evomink]

Great interview. Axl’s comeback is incredible and super inspiring. Coming back from the “wilderness years” and selling out stadiums, not only with Slash and Duff / GnR, but with AC/DC too!

[@qwirk9079]

This interview is a lot more interesting than it should be. I have been listening to this. while I work for about two hours. Fascinating interview. I had no idea Joe Rogan had these kind of interviews.

[@bennytroung]

Billy looks like Darth Vader with his helmet off.

[@kennethledford9877]

Benny Troung lmfao!!!

[@mrjswain123]

this made me laugh so hard !!

[@kennethledford9877]

Fuckin hell.. haa

[@EdouardPicard0224]

And you look like the asian version of Fred Durst

[@kirkmbutterfield]

Hes always cold. I think after he lost his hair its a physical technicality. Lol jk

[@mikogale]

it's awesome to see billy so happy! i don't think he's ever smiled this much in an interview

[@jamesweatherford6728]

Thats because all those other interviews are the same ol bullshit..."so who are your influences," "Whats your favorite color" etc etc, he actually has a chance to have an interesting , compelling conversation not marketed for a 16 year old.

[@MichaelRector-qf7xp]

It says a lot about Billy to have that kind of a father and still have a good attitude about him

[@doc9684]

Billy corgan you kick ass bro...im 53 and the disarm lyrics was me when i was 10 yrs old...keep up the good work. Much respect 4 you...

[@dongato6838]

Billy is one of the greatest musicians of his generation (Siamese Dream is one of the greatest albums ever written). But the jacket makes him look like Darth Vader without his helmet.

[@blackieblack]

Siamese Dream will always be my #1.

[@hansmdinkermaniiv1665]

Don Gato it was filmed on Halloween it was a darth Vador costume

[@CoastGhost13]

Lol it's just a down jacket around his shoulders.

[@petewadesays12]

I kept asking "Hey....Billy? Can you put your arms in the sleeves? I mean sure you are doing your same "LOOK AT ALL THE WORK ONLY I DID" spiel and fine....but.....can ya ditch the coat? lol. Glad I wasn't the only one bothered.

[@7star7storm7]

Haha fukn a! Artists and there eccentricities

[@tealwalters990]

Billy "I put myself in this straight jacket" *(straightens jacket)* Corgan

[@raoulsghouls]

Teal Walters would you like to go to the olive garden some time? honey?

[@DigitalLemonade]

The best interview ever. Love Billy.

[@colleenmarie8125]

What makes this interview great is that it is just like a conversation between 2 people getting to know each other. Very genuine.

[@rookyofficial]

This show is a fucking DREAM COME TRUE. Billy corgan was my childhood hero and a huge reason I got into music and guitar. THANK YOU JOE! Keep being amazing bro!!!

[@ToLoQueVesPodcast]

Rooky Music Lol, that's so sweet😘

[@TLGZOID]

damn bro DREAM BIGGER please

[@MatthewStout]

Anxiety is waiting for that jacket to fall off his shoulders.

[@roddydykes7053]

Aperture 4.0 skip ahead, see that it hasn't, come back to the beginning

[@davidcopperfieldslovechild1924]

Aperture 4.0 😂😂😂

[@claycollins8973]

Aperture 4.0 dude! So glad I'm not the only one, almost couldn't watch cause it bugged me so much

[@MatthewStout]

Solid advice Roddy, thx.

[@gstak100]

Please interview Dave Grohl Joe! 🤘

[@kujojotaro8079]

We need this👏👏

[@Marc-rk3os]

Billy "I'm the greatest Disneyland meme ever" Corgan.

[@Calilou52]

you should get Jerry Cantrell on the podcast

[@missplasticpony]

Dr. Hughie L Mungus M.D yes!!!!

[@MisfitsAddict77]

Hell yeah man !!!!

[@RobertSmith-zw7lf]

Him or Sean Kinney the drummer

[@CJM-rg5rt]

I second that, I love the alt. singer songwritery stuff but metal is my shit. AIC is like a newer darker Black Sabbath.

[@MiloshRistanovich]

Yes!!

[@Madmaz23]

Very intelligent and well spoken, also great insight on the music industry. One of my fav episodes so far!

[@MrEhf111]

I've watched tons of your pod casts and this one is in the top 5. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute ...

[@stefengullicksen314]

One of the very few places one can find long form reality based discussions. Thanks for all the amazing *guests!*

[@Cory989]

Dude was a legit guitar wizard back in the day. Pretty underrated imo

[@2175Martin]

Was ???? C'mon man , dude still kills it

[@Cory989]

i know right. I seen him tear it up in Nashville and Louisville the last couple years.

[@alanthemover2541]

Billy Corgan just added a new fan of him as a person (always loved his music). Solid dude right there.

[@larrybeckerjr3667]

Being a Chi-Town guy born,and bred..I was a pumpkin fan..One of the best shows was at the Metro in the early 90's..I seen him rolling down I-290 in his benz tried to catch up to him lol...He grew up in EGV..So we rolled in the same areas growing up it was a good time..

[@matth2868]

Siamese Dream was awesome. So many memories attached to that album.

[@MartiQBD]

I really got into this JRE. Spr cool to see Billy Corgan & hear his thoughts. Level headed dude, I dig that.

[@dannykingston6495]

Cherub Rock, Drown & this interview. Billy Corgan, you're my hero.....again. Good on ya, brother.

[@grandmasterplank]

What a decent, humble and eloquent man Billy Corgan is. Eye-opening. Total respect.

[@JoeFlip]

As a musician, I LOVE hearing the true stories about the music business, the good bad and ugly. Great show! Keep up the good work!

[@kain12343]

Billy Corgan was a fascinating listen. Thanks for the great podcast, it was really enjoyable.

[@erichami]

True. This is a case where less is more.

[@charlesware5767]

Billy is so articulate and interesting. Such sophisticated views insight awareness and opinions. Amazing to see a completely new view of music. I really respect him. This was quite unexpected. What an interview. Really interesting guy and life. I have a renewed appreciation for him and completely different outlook from all the hate I hear. I enjoyed this as much as any interview I've ever seen. What a complex intelligent guy. He is a cultural icon. Cheers Billy, you are a true artist and a sincere person.

[@DiagonalSeven]

There s an entire year of my life that tastes so much like a siamese dream... I can still feel that taste and go back to those days

[@joe-un1ky]

Loved this one, Corgan is a really nice and interesting guy
