The Cave / Thirty Days - Day Eighteen w/ Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins

In a moment of pause from his artistic mission, Billy takes a moment to visit a cavern in Texas with his family.

[@kvmachu]

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cave

[@monkeysgone2heaven1]

"despite all my AGE" ? :)

[@sonicjet7759]

Despite all my rage, i am still just a bat in a cave 😉

[@freaks_n_ghouls]

Hahahaa😂 Perfect!

[@US395Official]

"I'm not Courtney." Nearly 30 seconds in and I'm dying.

[@iditarod4081]

Haha she handled it like a pro

[@1w598]

Dying...why? Wasn't even funny.

[@NoisetotheFuture]

@@1w598 Gee...I don't know...Billy has an obsession with Courtney and his "current" partner calls the shit out immediately. Ya got the giggles now? Love that the mother of his two kids shuts it down. It's not historical, it's obsessive.

[@skylilly1]

William, don't talk about your old conquests in front of your woman. lol

[@1w598]

He didn't. Courtney conquered him.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

@@1w598 truth.

[@christophercharles8766]

Billy's words have always spoken to me, but none more than "I'm one selfie stick away from a felony"

[@shayd6897]

it's great to see Chloe and baby Augustus with you enjoying your trip, too. love it! love you!

[@US395Official]

Yea, it really is!

[@sticksman1979]

I love seeing Billy in civilian life.

[@badlieutenant442]

"I can't stand being in a confined space for too long" anyone else think of the chorus of Cherub Rock? "Let me ouuuuuuttt!!" 😂

[@kristopherryanwatson]

um...no...

[@joeschmoe4030]

"one selfie stick away from a felony" lol, classic

[@gloomyharlow]

Billy's wife is like "I'm not Courtney" lol Girl, I feel ya. I ain't Courtney either!

[@machinesofgod]

"I'm one selfie stick away from a felony" LMAO. I also love the "is it me or does this look like EC3?" question and the phrase "dino disappointed."

[@zaccousins3542]

"...I've detoxed all of the 90's out of my body..." haha

[@switchfoot19802000]

Tour guide, how are you guys doing today? William: WHOO! 😁 You did it william, Im proud of ya.

[@brianzak]

True story. I bet William has some of the best stories ever told.

[@raoulsghouls]

Zak have you checked out his live journal? tonnnnns of his personal stories on there. might want to check it out

[@brianzak]

No. Where can I find it?

[@gloomyharlow]

What's the link? Please post it.

[@GreetTheSacredCow]

"I don't like being told what to do". Yeah well no shit. Thank you for the music, Billy! Your defiance has shaped my life.

[@legendsofevil]

I like that shot with you playing in front of your son. Nice touch

[@goodgollymr]

You have a pretty lady Billy. Would refrain from mentioning Courtney like that again though 😜👀

[@musicsavedme3534]

goodgollymr yeah she didn't seem happy about that

[@leelohaskin7941]

Ikr

[@khaimk4r4su]

"I'm not Courtney" At that clearing that out moment i lol'ed hard

[@iditarod4081]

Shes got spit

[@kristopherryanwatson]

doesn't matter. not so much our business, and it was said with some amusement anyway.

[@aaronmanier9383]

Nice to see the Corgan fam out and about

[@thetheRedundant]

Kinda surprised a normally private Billy would have a video that features his girlfriend & son.

[@KingCrimson82]

Good Day Billy ! that is a good laugh for sure ! Great show, binging it right now

[@Kimberly-xe5ru]

This is one of my favorite videos of Thirty Days thus far. Sometimes in order to have wonderful experiences we have to push through and overcome things that are uncomfortable, strenuous, challenging, painful, or stressful. Now that experience is yours, you own that and no one can ever take that from you.

[@NOLADEEJ]

One of my favorite things to do is visit caverns and caves! Thanks, WPC!

[@luzyalj3038]

Loved loved loved this episode featuring Chloe and AJ Corgan! So sweet! :)

[@StarlytNite]

That cave is so cool My fav video so far Baby and caves, zip lines

[@alphago9397]

I'm kind of on the claustrophobic side as well, but that wasn't too bad in my opinion.. When I think of scary tight-spaces, I think of the scene in the film "Aliens" when they open up a hole in that air shaft for Bishop to squeeze into and crawl through.. There isn't even enough space in there to turn around AND they seal him shut in there after he's inside.. LOL. Also, give me all of that leftover 90's so I can inject it into my veins..!!!! I miss it. Good job, Billy. :)

[@christy734]

Thanks for taking everyone with you on your travels down Route 66. I’m very sorry to hear that you were stuck in a cave with Courtney Love, that must have been quite damaging. Thank you for all you’re work and sharing with the public. I don’t think I could do the things you do, great job conquering your fears and taking on the world. 🤗 Thanks again for putting your work and your personal stories out there.

[@onlinefriends7499]

I love the running jokes in this series (EC3 and "dino-disappointed) XD

[@kenshinhimura9782]

thought twas james iha?

[@victoriaaugustine5978]

my goodness just watching this made me feel stuffy and closed in. It looked like it went on forever! I wouldcof passed out. I wasnt sure if you were going to make it through this but you managed to keep your sanity and made til the end. Congratulations! You must of felt like a new man reborn!

[@mrpelon1000]

lol do you think she was pissed he mentioned Courtney?....she gave him the evil eye lol

[@lisatheboywonder6744]

Probably. She also gave him the stink eye when he said ' fallen in love.' But that is their lives I guess. Its not widely known but he has been with her since she was 19. I remember seeing them all around town back in 2013 and if math serves me correctly she had her son when she was 22 so she probably does not have really any experience in dating if her whole adult life she has been with a man in his late 40s. So she probably has a lot of naivety when it comes to what constitutes as a normal relationship. If she had other guys before him she probably would not have cared who he has been with but him mentioning her probably bothered her cause it reminds her that he has been with a lot of women and she probably has not been with any guys before him. I have seen her in person before at the tea shop and she comes off as being a little high strung and tightly wound.

[@musicsavedme3534]

Cheap Cooking Channel yeah I totally agree with you. And whilst she's also an accomplished designer, she never had a chance to make her own identity she will always be known as "Billy Corgan's girlfriend" I feel bad for her honestly. She probably had to grow up very fast.

[@Nautilus1972]

She has her eye on the money ...

[@1w598]

No, she does NOT give a shit. God, you people are so immature. These people are over 50 yrs old. Not 19.

[@HockeyNationHD]

Courtney's not even the real lost love, just the one he talks about, the real love is d'arcy. the one he never got but wanted from the moment they met.

[@idontknowwhatever665]

O my god, I took a field trip to this place in like 3rd grade!! Wow, such a nostalgic flashback seeing it again!

[@GoCotton]

This was another good one. "Detoxed all of the 90s out of my body" - hilarious.

[@budsaplenty]

Billy question if you are afraid of heights how did you ever manage flying to gigs? Especially overseas tours?.. Keep doing what you do Peace

[@specialbread11]

Great video as usual on here on your channel. keep staying awesome brah'

[@Tekkon123]

I wonder if at any time did Billy need the tour guide's assistance.

[@ladywhispers111]

If you want to see an really beautiful Cavern go to Luray Cavern Just West of Luray Virginia. This Cavern is pretty but Luray Cavern is amazing. It has the Great Stalacpipe Organ that creates amazing music from the stalactite and stalagmites in the cave. Well worth the time, I have been there 3 times in my life and always walk out saying to myself WOW!!!

[@02grits]

I will never go inside a cave. I was suffocating just watching.

[@02grits]

I didn't know Texas had a Carlsbad Cavern too - which I will never ever enter. Even tho' I'm a New Mexican.

[@khaimk4r4su]

Props for Billy powering through

[@Msgabrisia]

“What’s your name again?” “It’s not Courtney” lol

[@sticksman1979]

Major stink eye when he said fallen in love.

[@StarlytNite]

Aw so cute

[@thetheRedundant]

But how does Billy feel about tours?

[@maxbarrera5775]

I wouldn't be able to keep my shit together if I was on a cavern tour with Billy.

[@originalredneckgirl]

Come to the caverns in MO the one near Springfield you ride through and Im pretty sure Onondaga still has the lights, there are even restaurants you can eat at in the caves Ones you can go diving in even in Farmington Mo.

[@brianmackercher5445]

nice.... Now this is HILARIOUS!

[@StarlytNite]

Zip lines looks so cool

[@gloomyharlow]

Billy's frustrations in 3:10. You can feel the pain in his eyes. He hates tours. lol

[@andrewmojzer2337]

gloomyharlow You can also hear a kid in the background say "I wanna go home?" in that moment.

[@mattMcLovinisbae]

awesome

[@seekah1]

Detoxed all of the 90s, lol...love you BC.

[@shirlyburns542]

Nice to see his fam

[@lostdogs2175]

Keep coming south William. The RGV awaits.

[@jh-kv6pq]

I just died inside for his wife at 0:13

[@spaceorbison]

Dont fuck with that girls head for too long billy, you missed a chance to kiss her after you said you had fallen in love

[@youryogi]

As a father I always push the stroller to give my sons mom a break.

[@friendship6668]

a nice family outing. I thought your family was with you. 💕💕

[@hawsuk7111]

that point where you watched nearly all their music videos and live shows that you need to watch Billy in a cave to continue

[@TwistOfTransistor]

I love you WPC 😊

[@juliejohnson3626]

Chocking it up to ....OMG!

[@garylagstrom3864]

Billy’s infatuation with EC3 continues…😄😁😂🤣👍🏻

[@StarlytNite]

The baby !!!! Got the family out

[@user-hc5oe4ii9c]

Привет!!!! Ждем в Москву с концертам!!! 👍👍👍

[@StarlytNite]

The cave seems awesome

[@DaisyUnbosomed89palindrome11]

Nah... suffocation no fun

[@eliana2522]

It's pretty cool! They've changed a litte bit since then, the lighting is much better and you can really see all the detail on the formations!

[@LannyBenny]

Billy, this experience might motivate you to create another amazing song like "Zero."

[@brianzak]

Zwan was a brilliant too..Just saying.

[@rafiqkatana]

That's the first time that plucky guitar music didn't piss me off. As for the cave mate. ..I feel your pain.

[@CK-ix3vv]

"Detoxed all of the 90s out of my body" LMAO

[@Ramoa111]

We once toured a Bolivian silver mine in a mountain at 16.500 ft (Potosí). Adding to the sickening lack of oxigen in the hights, we had nothing but sulfur to breathe for the 2 hr walk through muddy caves no taller than 4 - 5 ft #IhateCaves

[@grungetea]

Billy Corgan is becoming varg vikernes

[@LorenaJackman]

Love Courtney ❤️

[@skylilly1]

Congrats to you both ! It's life changing and wonderful and much much more. I'm not a fan of tour either. shudder.

[@idontknowwhatever665]

Any idea when you'll be in San Antonio?

[@faberaz3]

A caves a cave, they collapse, freak accidents, so you overcame fears/phobias that roam the earth like a lion looking to devour, can you imagine a lion on the loose? I guess you overcame a lot through music in a giving way.

[@garyabbot4659]

Billy looked fed up in that cave.

[@Daeys2411]

Superstars are human ....billy is so funny 😂

[@Ramoa111]

missus & baby?

[@petitprince1032]

Moi , j'aurais aimé que tu fasses la tyrolienne , Ben ouai sa a l'air génial 😙

[@silverroddo1468]

Was that a guitar version of Talulalu (Baby)? Seems like it, anyway, I magined billy playing some songs in that cave and it was not Dino-disappointing. Also, i think we need a picture of Billy yelling: Dino-disappointed! Like Kevin Sorbo.

[@chirp-cc1sn]

Are you braging or complaining about Cortney Love? Myself I would not have like the tour either, and I'm not afraid of close places, but their where to many people. The end was breath taking. Chirp

[@pruston599]

UGH!!! 15 min from my house!!! 😢 So sad!!

[@nooneyouknow4125]

Bro why are you so salty? If you didn’t want to go then why go? Those caves are awesome. Also that tour guide looks so nice.

[@StarlytNite]

I'm back this time with audio I was on lunch at work volume low

[@willcorg1979]

HEY BILLY! DON'T COME TO SCOTTSDALE AZ, THAT'S AN ORDER!!! Yeah PS... you'd never catch me in there with all those people! But the things we do for our family huh?

[@jackiexgrace]

Chloe!

[@billysmith4998]

"Have I told you I hate tours??" 🙄

[@Thekossiable]

3:05 she says "kakka" which means poop in Finnish

[@seulahyoo1269]

5:44 What the cave have to do is start doing a haircut.

[@schotanusser]

0:09 hahaha

[@StarlytNite]

Guy in the back hush

[@Frankod3lo]

Esa chica es la novia de Billy?

[@machinesofgod]

Well, if I was still in the service, I'd offer you a submarine tour, but that whole confined spaces thing kind of kills that. If you hate tours and confined spaces, Hoover Dam is not the place for you if you make it that far west.

[@231flash]

I can do heights but confined tight places and tight crowds is bad, I'm Demo phobia, I'd be out of there.

[@robertosmith1]

He makes these comments in front of her to push her buttons or maybe to remind her who she's with. That girl looks like an angle, beautiful. He better realize what he has before she's gone. I'm a mega fan of Corgan but seems he can be an insensitive jerk.

[@kristopherryanwatson]

Roberto Smith ...oh god....

[@mikogale]

are you the singer from the cure lol

[@jasonwhite7452]

Billy just seems so approachable! Like someone you can just become friends with whether you’re a celebrity or not! Just don’t take him on a tour!

[@StarlytNite]

Ick strollers a stair Just wait til he runs all over he place lol

[@quince2285]

I think I lived too long...🤔

[@charliebrown523]

wth happened to your arm?

[@friendship6668]

Charlie Brown it is a huge red birth mark. look at Future Embrace sleeve artwork

[@pruston599]

That cave is the worst!! Went with my son on a field trip... I thought caves were cool in temp... soooo not. Hot, humid ... detoxing the 90s is right! 😂

[@briandavis6043]

That looks miserable

[@StarlytNite]

Aw Courtney Love ❤️ I wonder what's the latest with her? Last I know Frances turned 18 and disowned her, or maybe that was gossip

[@StarlytNite]

I see feet, how I'm not interested in what the guy is saying Oooo baby

[@montagedrift]

I take it you hate tours.

[@StarlytNite]

lol wrestlers leg 😂

[@jasminefreeman9457]

"True story: The last time I was in a cave was with Courtney Love." RIP
