QUESTIONS / Thirty Days - Day Fifteen w/Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins

Every day on #ThirtyDays, William Patrick Corgan​ is asked a lot of questions. On Day Fifteen, the midway point of the trip, random happenstance created two unique situations. Every day the team does not plan out where we will go or what will happen. No predetermined finishes. This is real. Including a pair of fans who figured out where Billy was broadcasting live on Facebook and found us. What happened next was a life long dream coming true for two huge The Smashing Pumpkins​ fans. Also an unsuspecting Radio DJ in Bay City, Texas was at a loss for word when Billy Corgan strolled by and ended up getting an impromptu interview and asks the question everyone is asking. Will there be a Smashing Pumpkins reunion? Also we find ourselves in unique locations like the train museum in Galveston, TX and a beautiful movie theater that is no longer being used.
If you're enjoying the #ThirtyDays project, please tag 5 friends in the comments who should check it out and share with the rest. We are doing this to help show where America is right now and featuring the country as we see it.

That guy playing the guitar and Billy singing was so cool!

[@timconnors7752]

Dude just got business lesson from Corgan.

[@sammmy4495]

Billy singing with the fan was simply awesome..... what dreams are made of

[@kurtmm9924]

its so awesome how we get to hang out digitally with Billy, such an interesting series to watch

[@dAvrilthebear]

The Smashing Pumpkins Hi! Any updates on the new album? (Just say you're working on it, we all understand creative pains, etc :))

[@tamadrumboy81]

Billy truly is a genius. Watching these episodes has made me dig into your catalog again. It makes me miss the 90's so much. Please keep doing what you do.

[@ts3857]

💜💜💙💜💙🎈

[@cdreyes81]

Take that spirit with you and live for today

[@ASpartan69]

03:45 "Mo Money, Mo problems." I just got a kick out of that.

[@MalvoNTheStudio]

Wow this is crazy. These two had the best seat in the world at the moment. I mean Billy selling millions of Records sold out concerts and they're getting a free sit-down to play with Billy Corgan. Can't have it no better than that.

[@barefootfrolick]

"history's heavy if you let it be, you just have to kind of sit in it a minute" xo

[@Ramoa111]

holy fucking shit! It's like you're walking down the street and suddenly see the dude responsible of the greatest music memories of your life and sit down in a park and fucking jam together!! l'm losing my mind!

[@kymberlishea2036]

This series has been sooo interesting!! Been a Pumpkin fan since '91. Wish u were coming thru NC. I think u would enjoy the byways and backroads here. Much love and respect always Billy ❤️

[@jasondodd218]

Billy is so down to earth . I have always loved Billy ...

[@starmoon1590]

jason dodd - he saved my life......died in hospital...nurse played radio loud to wake me.....was first time I heard him...was disarm.

[@nderohan]

Right! He’s so genuine, would love to see him just sitting on the street playing acoustic sometime!

[@BlauveltBurns]

Beautiful moment...happy couple...happy Billy...warms my soul x

[@bubububnever]

Imagine getting free advice from the one and only Billy Corgan! And a fucking jam session holy fuck, what a god touching moment. You can't replicate that.

[@HANGNAIL]

"I've never been in a caboose. Though you can take that both ways." lololol

[@ajoneser2007]

I truly enjoyed this segment of #thirtydays, Billy, almost as much as the cool couple. And great choice of tune 👏

[@travistravinyle4207]

Best episode yet, dream come true for that guy, would be for me, #thirtydays

[@Randelius]

Woah-- got chills. I know exactly how that guy must feel.

[@sanjayreddy697]

Such an awesome episode. William is so generous to his fans. What a treat it must have been for that guy to play with William and hear that sage advice.

[@bradrichards6107]

Thank you for doing this, Billy. I have been a huge fan since high school. I look forward to seeing future videos and destinations.

[@IanPayton]

Saw you on Adam the Woo's vlog today and decided to come follow you as well. I have not only subscribed to your channel but I let my friends know about it too. Hope your next road trip brings you to Toronto.

[@TheFlatypus]

Best episode of the doc so far! Really cool how fast you are putting these together as well

[@dylanwilliams5230]

man you with that fan was amazing.

[@theweberjosh]

Great video. Love that these are being uploaded everyday :) Much love. Peace

[@pruston599]

I’ve seen this before, but watching again, and I love this episode!! How awesome of WPC to lend his time, knowledge and advice so freely! Seeing the look of surreality on that guy’s face is worth a thousand words... 😍

[@muzzikkluvvr2327]

Thank you for sharing another part of your life!

[@diesolgurl]

this is so amazing ..including us (your fans) in this journey with you.. I love that there is a sense of unity that brings people together through your music. when the world seems crazy your music is an escape for many myself included..it's good to hear live raw music especially in this day and age 😊 p.s if you add "hello kitty kat" to your 30 days I won't be mad at all haha.

[@pablo_ramone]

the coolest episode so far! I'll watch the following ones

[@mistercrumpet7312]

I've been keeping up with this as much as possible despite time zone differences, Getting an insight into rural america in such a personal way is really cool to me as a dude from Scotland.

[@T289c]

Wow.. Brilliant advice. That guy was great. And I loved what you told him.

[@Dartheomus]

So good... I love your music and this really helps me appreciate you for who you are as well. It would be a dream come true (and completely nerve wracking) to play a cover of one of your songs in front of you. I'm not sure the guy fully appreciated the advice, but it is so dead on. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@mikeparker4734]

So awesome that you visited the railroad museum! Trains, and specifically, photographing them, are my passion. So neat that you chose to visit there! I made it to that museum a few years back, and photographed that Santa Fe , on an excursion, just last fall!

[@luxypets8383]

adam the woo sent me here

[@jasonmiller1118]

[@michaelwoxland7078]

Great advice thanks for sharing!

[@danielwinn6010]

here from Adam the Woo! always loved your music, but had no idea you were traveling like this! susbscribed!

[@skipco2060]

Glad you ran into Adam the Woo. It is spooky how similar your journeys have been. You have shown many of the same sites through different eyes. You both had the sensation of being geographically lost but present physically and in the spirit. You both had Dino experiences in completely different ways. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! Hope to see what the road shows you next.

[@Ezekiel33USA]

I bet that dude never thought he would be walking down the street and see Billy Corgan and then was able to play with him.

[@groovelife415]

The statues in the old train station was quite powerful. Like a boring, mundane day for the inhabitants of the era has been frozen in time. Available for the future to stare at and wonder what it was like.

[@charliebrown523]

Adam the Woo sent me but ive been a fan since I was a teenager.

[@ajogg]

Saw you on Adam the Woo's channel today, decided to follow you over here. Looking forward to seeing tomorrow's video especially. Great job Billy!

[@mikogale]

I love this man so damn much

[@geofolkers]

Really great episode :)

[@Dave-vc4mh]

In the end of this video of amazing good info . He he sums up in an amazing way of how to get yourself out their. We as entertainers need to soak up any info that guys like this are willing to share . I hope people watch all this video if they wanna be a professional entertainer and soak it up. 🤘😎🤘Thanks so much Billy for sharing that info.

[@beanvillen24]

How cool is billy, sitting in a park with a fan, life is crazy!

[@_akiaro]

I was watching SP in Helsinki in 2000 {the last gig} and now Woo send me here. Small world.

[@skylilly1]

Billy, I remember when you playing landslide wrong. lol First song I taught myself to play. My poor mom in the background "dammit, play something else." Cute couple, really enjoyed it!

[@NOLADEEJ]

Corgan and The Woo!

[@NOLADEEJ]

The Smashing Pumpkins hehe! Have been for a long time :) He had me start my own daily vlog (please subscribe) :) love you guys!! Great video as always!!

[@luxypets8383]

NolaDeej if adam can be in you're band that would be awesome

[@NOLADEEJ]

LuxyPets Yorkies Supergroup with Billy, Adam, and myself! I'm down!! :)

[@laserduchamp8071]

That was slovely chat with that young musician, must be tired I got a tear of happiness : )

[@Dave-vc4mh]

Billy is just a fascinating musician and person in general has a wide knowledge of music and he and Guys like Dave Grohl have made and are still making the music that I love. So many of the guys of that error are gone . I’m glad he stayed grounded and didn’t get into the downward spiral crash and burn part of the music business. I love his videos for me as a singer has an amazing plethora of good knowledge of what it is to be on that level. I am very thankful of him taking time to tell a story and pass this info about him and def like his mind set about music and life in general. Really cool he take time to play with that dude . He’s humble guy really cool!!!🤘😎🤘I would give anything just to write with him.🎤🎼🎸

[@discardmyfriends]

That was some really solid advice at the end.

[@jani11]

i like how "the guitarist" is a lefty and he just reversed his strings like i did to some of my early guitars

[@musicmaker111]

Thanks billy I pray I meet you one day

[@justinwho5134]

Corgan and Adam the Woo the new mega powers

[@petitprince1032]

Oh my God, lucky boy 😭🤗, idem à mon souvenir de mon meilleur concert que j'ai vécu jusqu'à maintenant merci monsieur bil'' égal à vous même..' '

[@montagedrift]

Awesome get together!

[@jimmychooquay]

God damn he’s just so fricking interesting and smart!

[@tt-du6vc]

When Billy gave the advice to that musician, the guy was like: fuck that, I’m out lol.

[@JLE999]

Lolll. tbh yeah (I'm the guy), he went off on a bit of a Billy interview tangent and my eyes glazed over a bit. He was very cool to us though.

[@Thekijuju]

Sweet!

[@mikogale]

Great advice!

[@amymuchko7106]

WPC is the best person ever. Such a peaceable person. So salt of the earth. His energy as a superstar that is so real and down to earth is unrivaled.

[@zdog3338]

looks like he's having a lot of fun in this one

[@blurrymonster]

That was some killer advice right there.

[@dman030]

awesome!!

[@globalmess33]

great stories

[@spencerf4812]

Great episode! I'm a video productions teacher and you gave some great insight on what it takes in the digital age to start a following.

[@bellwitch007]

New sub, I love Adam the Woo and it's cool to see you sharing adventures.

[@joeschmoe4030]

I'm here from the Woo, you got my sub, looking forward to following you on your journey.

[@351wmustanggt]

Awesome, so cool you got to meet Adam the Woo lol. Look forward to watching your vids

[@mattroach5382]

I remember when I received the exact same advice from one of the major record labels. They said, "You have a lot of talent and your songs are catchy, but we don't sign or invest in anyone unless they have 75,000 likes and or views on social media. Basically, if you are good and your music is capable of becoming popular, you will get some minor social media attention. William just gave him a click-bait opportunity to post on social media, which could draw a ton of attention to his band. And William included him in this video where he plugs his band's name. He just helped him in a huge way. All that remains now is whether or not his songs are just something that a few people enjoy, or lots of people find enjoyable.

[@derrikferguson3219]

That was a lot of fun.

[@crush41gb]

Found you through Adam the Woo but, love Smashing Pumpkins too! :-D

[@davidhinshaw2013]

Saw you on Adam the Woo. Definitely like your project and will be sure to check your stuff out.

[@wlcrutch]

Had to be one of the coolest things in his life

[@scc0923]

Nostalgic! Those two fans were like me and my friend Anna when we met you here in Manila. Well, except that we don't sing. We just chatted for a whole hour and that was so unforgettable

[@brinkybrinkz]

Nice! La Dolly Vita was really cool!

[@christinaybarra7075]

Awesome I'm from Galveston

[@SolidBased]

Can’t forget Jimmy he’s a beast with those pedals and sticks!!!

[@brinkybrinkz]

Billy Corgan could put an amazing spin on Nowhere Texas by Dallas Green. Great doc Pumpkins Rock!

[@madhistory]

[@zaccousins3542]

Playing a left handed acoustic, what!? And then, BAM (mind totally blown), plays a left handed guitar right handed and upside down! Nice! Haha :)

[@mauri213]

[@blessed7fold]

This guy is a genius and it's crazy to see how he acts like anybody you would meet off the street any day of the week.

[@ariesred777]

@3:54 "more money more problems" more garbage so true lol!

[@StarlytNite]

I'm eating ice cream as they say, as cool as ice cream... awesomeness

[@Imsuchaliar]

Hey man, check out your copy of "Pisces Iscariot"..."Cool as ice cream" is written in there in Billy's liner notes. I've read them so many times over the years! "Deciphered" might be the right word as I was young and English is not my first language. :)

[@missycat5783]

Adam the Woo sent me!!

Yup, me too!

[@wisepenguin1183]

[@miamivideoproductions6839]

Just showed my class the "La Dolly Vita" section with the digital age advice. Self promotion to gain your audience will be even more important as the get older.

[@Loganmccoy1996]

Come to Casper WY I can play most Pumpkin songs! Aside from a couple songs on each album. Awesome insight

[@billybees3796]

Cool as ice cream

[@nderohan]

I like how he says about history being heavy if you let it be you just have to kind of sit in it

[@BenJonesVideographer]

Billy is like a kid at that train museum it's quite cute lol

[@wisepenguin1183]

Adam the woo sent me here from the hanging tree meeting on his video. Adam is a cool guy for you to meet.

[@thebluetarp]

Hoping you will show some your interaction with Adam the Woo on your next vlog!
