The Smashing Pumpkins - Q+A with William Patrick Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin

To commemorate the 25th anniversary of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, a special virtual Zoom call discussion with William Patrick Corgan and Jimmy Chamberlin, hosted by Daniel P Carter.

[@NM-ld2kd]

My favourite all time. probably the most grossly underrated rock band to ever exist. They belong in the pantheon with the Who and Zeppelin, Floyd etc. One of the greatest of all time.

[@subtlehills3844]

Yeah, Mellon Collie is without a doubt the same level as Dark Side/The Wall...

[@deansmith230]

I agree

[@broc8095]

They’re not underrated

[@just_delightful]

Not just Band but musician - Zwan has probably 12 classic songs that have never even been released - I can't wait for the reissue when it finally comes out.

[@lorieldridge7170]

My Grandma bought 8 of her grandkids, 10-16 years old, Smashing Pumpkin Tickets for Christmas for the Mellon Collie Tour. Wondering the streets in SF without supervision, waiting hours at Cow Palace so we could be in the front row, and the concert itself have been defining moments for my cousins, siblings, and myself. Smashing Pumpkins music defines a generation we can't be labeled or boxed in.

[@ScoobyRemmi]

Lol when I first read this I thought you said your grandma bought her grandkids

[@stevejones3868]

Wow!

[@Chris_yes]

Defining a generation for sure . I am 39 in a few months and every concert of theirs I went to was amazing. I have seen them 4 times: 1998 Pinkpop , (also Deftones there!) [wow how the Pumpkins changed so much in 4 years from pinkpop 94!] 1999 The Arising Tour, 2000 Tower Records Denver, and same year Balch Fieldhouse CU Boulder. Lastly 2018 Pepsi Center. Such a great band. What drew me to comment here is that I was driving this morning and on the 'Classic Rock ' station on the radio 1979 came on. I was like 'damn I must be old now'

That’s a drummers posture I guess. I remember hearing one time Danny Carrey of TOOL fucked up his back one time cause of bad posture in drumming.

I love that Jimmy Chamberlin is weighing in so often, he is so invested. Without him, SP wouldn't have taken off back in the day!!!

[@xHugamako]

Definitely. Jimmy dives it as much as Billy and James. I loved adore, but jimmy needed to be there. I loved machina, but d'arcy was gone.. Billy an Jimmy drive it. James floats them up. D'arcy just pushed it and kept everything connected.. it'll never be the same punpkins

I was so poor I couldn't afford to buy an expensive album, I had a Wife and two little ones to provide but all those memories put a more awesomeness to my Mellon Colly and infinity sadness era💝🤗🤗🤗 I loved Billy's music since Desarm, his voice was unique and so powerful that it took me along the ride all this year's, I feel I know him like my life time friend👍🤗

[@garylagstrom3864]

You know one of my college buddies turned me on to Smashing Pumpkins and he said listen to that which was Gish and I was blown away because to me they didn’t sound like anyone else. Billy’s vocals were very unique, his and James guitar 🎸 playing very original and inspirational, Darcy with her own ice Queen vibe, and Jimmy’s very unique approach to playing aggressively and then quietly and then amazing dexterity with ghost notes on the snare and toms with jazz flavoring! So to sum up they didn’t sound like any group at their time not grunge, soft rock, not alternative, not Progressive rock just their own unique sound which was unheard before ala Van Halen or Jimi Hendrix where right of the Shute as a listener you were going what’s this? I don’t know but I like this! Saw the Gish tour and then Siamese Dream tour as part of LOLLAPOLOOZA! Love the guys! I do miss Darcy though! Just sayin 💔

I’m a huge fan of The Smashing Pumpkins. It’s always been my dream to sit down with a rock star and here stories about the old rock days. I’m a 14 year old who is in love with all music especially rock music. The downside is being a 14 year old in 2020 I haven’t got the true experience a rock fan got in the 90s.

What a beautiful conversation. Thank you so much for this, what has been, and what is to come.

[@jason4tl332]

You know...that is probably one of the best interviews I have seen those fellas do. I have enjoyed watching the band's entire journey up to this point. The two things that really stood out to me during this interview are 1. Billy's reference to how a single day can accurately symbolize an entire life...that is such a wonderful statement of hope. 2. If I understood the context accurately, I get that Mellon Collie might be the most honest representation of the band from a, "Jazz" approach...but those Gish, Siamese days were also just as good from a fan's viewpoint. I kind of look at Mellon Collie as ya'll just went in the studio as 5-star chefs throwing your ingredients together and making a stir-fry that really "Popped", whereas Siamese...even Gish is when you went in with your bakers hat with very measured out ingredients to create such a great desert that couldn't have been made any other way! I guess what I'm trying to say is don't throw out those years. I understand it may have been a bit painful and time consuming for it all to come together on those records. But, its the same people under the hats! Sometimes, play "Jazz" and sometimes get ultra focused and precise. You guys are good at both and it's great to hear both coming from the band! On a different note...for some reason when I watched our Sunday sermon yesterday, I couldn't help but picture you two guys at the pulpit...it was totally about, "Speak Love, Teach Truth, and Live Pure". Those are qualities I have always felt the Pumpkins had and it's always great to cross paths with people like that....there don't seem to be many left these days. Anyway, just thank your for sharing your art with us over the years. If you wanted to indulge me and watch that sermon, here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYuzc5qMjcqdp6s

Totally! I was able to appreciate them in a newer light once I started reading cards to help identify w the cycles we go thru & the wrenches that are thrown in between. I was so immersed in the feelings & isolation back as a teenager & now 20 years later. Very volatile in both eras which are very telling of its depth & how much the artists invested magnifying that 3 of pentacles energy to 10; the legacy.

I’ve bought this album (MCIS) at least 10 times. (Scratched CDs, lost lyric books, etc) I was a teenager when I discovered it and now I’m middle aged hearing it with new (older) ears. I guarantee I’ll be listening on my deathbed. This era of studio work and live SP band was absolutely otherworldly and elevated…it’s beautifully possessed art. Great interview. Eternally excited for the next chapter of these cats.

[@johnkeenan4246]

Great interview. Wonderful insights. MCIS one of the great albums. I got the story....and wished at the time it was a triple album. Adore was hrilliant but still is too sad for me. And Machina.....man, i remember the joy of Jimmy being back and buying the album. Then realising it was over....the narrative. And all these years later how they came out the orher side as good as ever. Its so uplifting. What a band.

[@xmissviolencex]

I'm glad it was both Jimmy and Billy. I loved hearing Jimmy's input on everything since we've mostly gotten everything from Billy over the years. Massive respect for both of these guys. I'm so excited they are making new music and it's still amazing.

Incredible to hear this, 25 years on. You've no idea (maybe some idea by now) what Melon Collie did and continues to do for me. Some albums make you who you are. Other people may not see it, but you know it inside, you feel it. That's what Melon Collie did for me, man it's tied up with so many memories. I can instantly be transported to my room as a teen, stealing that album from my older sister's collection, putting it in my CD player and listening, and listening, and being immersed in sonic pleasure. (footnote: also thinking Smashing Pumpkins comprised of 2 lead vocalists due to Billie's stylistic tonal dynamics. Refer: Bullet With Butterfly Wings).

[@pruston599]

“... the fact that any one of those songs you could put them on and it sounds like the Pumpkins ... “ yes, yes - the breadth of SP’s abilities, substance, and sound - not just remarkable, but legendary! This is why the music will always transcend time... 🖤✨

[@thenewholistic]

Billy said "Jellybelly" sounded like crazy people... Did he forget they made TALES OF A SCORCHED EARTH?! Why is this song treated like it doesn't exist? It's by far more angsty, reckless, noisey, and violently crazy than Jellybelly! I read once Billy said they couldn't even play it live because it was to fast to play and sing at the same time (something to that effect; not verbatim of course) I would die to hear TOASE live one day. Shoot, play Jellybelly again, why the hell not? What do they have to lose anymore? (Nothing)

Machina has been my favorite album of all time for 20 years. I love hearing Jimmy speak fondly of it (he's said before its musically his favorite era of the band). Billy has basically ignored it forever, because he's so caught up with popular reception. I think deep down he knows how brilliant that album is.

14:10 this is truly the main reason I got into SP and they have remained my favorite band for almost 28 years. I'm into all kinds of genres and styles of music and no matter what I'm into at any moment, there's a perfect Pumpkins jam giftwrapped just for me. The range and eclecticness is legendary. Only band that could really top that is the Beatles in my opinion. As far as more of SP's contemporaries that could compare I'd have to mention the two other bands that tie as runner-ups as my fave - Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Buck-Tick. I highly recommend checking those two groups back catalogs for a similiar type of genre-bending.

[@thischannel1071]

Thanks for the MCIS reflection! I think it's incredible how tight and 'produced' (in the best way possible) MCIS sounds given that it was treated as a live take of the band. There's really nothing that sounds similar. I feel like there'd be a deep goldmine of production insight behind how things were put together. Some other SP project feedback I have: The videotaped show at Reckless Records, June, 1991, and of which there is only a low quality video out there right now, is mind-blowing. I'd love to see it as an archive release. I'd easily buy that as its own DVD release. And the 1991 track Cinder (not Cinder Open), of which there is just a single available live recording of, is another obscure gem. I wonder: Was Cinder Open meant to be the intro to Cinder? The one known live performance of Cinder is explosive and powerful. I wonder why it featured just that one time.
