The Smashing pumpkins - The Chris Isaak Hour part 2

[@ObscuredJellybelly]

Anyone notices that when Jimmy mentions that D'arcy and James 'looked like they could play' he starts laughing, but Billy doesn't look amused. I think Billy really cared about those two, despite their personal arguments.

[@poolboyinla]

Billy did go on to say that they couldn't actually play and they had to make the album without them.

[@Alex-hu4jh]

yeah I mean billy because friends with James even before the band started and he was the first one to met Darcy and all the time they spent together I feel he really misses them

[@monkeyliver1986]

At least he said they were cool

[@daxjaden4847]

you probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the login password. I love any assistance you can give me

[@ramonizaiah8454]

@Dax Jaden Instablaster :)

[@veerchasm1]

“High fashion” “Looked like they could play”...dang, I’ve never seen Jimmy be snarky before. James Is a great player and I’m so glad they reconciled

[@ectoplasma5]

He just wants to be the one who is spooning with Billy.

[@skeletonshorror5184]

My heroes. Best mainstream band of my generation. 💀💥🎃 p.s. I forgot how good of a show this was, love Chris, the vibes and dog!

[@ryanguertin8028]

I love how time has answered all these questions.

[@garrethboland]

Man, it has to be surreal beyond belief to have somebody just straight up say to you, "You almost died".

[@passthehanky]

Maaan, I love 99 Floors. Hands down, favourite obscure Pumpkins tune.

[@GibbyGlove]

ya know i did notice that, and i laughed with jimmy but then looked at billy and stopped laughing. your right i think billy really did care about james and D'arcy.

[@dummytree]

@GWal84 Of course he has serious chops. When I first heard that kind of comment from Jimmy and then Billy, I was really surprised. There is enough live footage out there to show what kind of musician James is. His solo material is also very good.

[@errordetected]

dragging corpses around the earth and calling it smashing pumpkins does sound pretty cool. I'd go see it.

[@ObscuredJellybelly]

Amazing material. Thank you!

[@sebastian_ghoxt]

actually James was and is a really good guitarrist,,i didn't like the comment from Jimmy

[@ectoplasma5]

He wants to be the one who stands in Billy's love 😄

[@whatdothlife4660]

13:44 wow it's so nice to know in hindsight that James rejoined the band for many years now even after hearing this heartbreaking anecdote about their last show.

[@EminentKnight]

Two of the most awesome people in the world.

[@GWal84]

Really interesting stuff, thanks. I wonder if Billy and/or Jimmy still feel the same way about James and D'arcy now that the reunion dust has settled. You hear alot of stuff about how they were substandard musicians but I've always found this a little hard to reconcile in James' case - ok he's not up to Corgan's level but the guy's been in and out of A Perfect Circle. Nobody passes thru that band without having some serious chops.

[@82907]

thank you for putting this out!

[@gloomyharlow]

I love this interview!

[@walruswaspaul123]

Agreed. he's been kicking ass in APC.

[@dylaneppers4263]

You know someone said Billy was a heroin addict. And as Billy's number #1 fan I know he didn't even touch the stuff.

[@GibbyGlove]

@82907 your welcome!! were all fans and all should see this. they really hit on some good points here

[@717mienbao]

Thanks for posting. And to all those who keep asking about D'Arcy and James, they should pay close attention to this segment. And if you saw them live back in the day you might have picked up on it, especially MCIS era and after. D'Arcy and James looked like they were punching time cards before walking on stage, they were not into it but liked paychecks.

[@robvig]

What is the music here? Is this the phase of Teargarden Collidoscope thingy that i have only been able to discover a fraction of with Oceania album?

[@ObscuredJellybelly]

I was kinda shocked by that interview yeah. Really didn't see that one coming. I think Oceania's success is getting to his head. He shouldn't go out pissing off people now that he's finally acknowledged as a musician and person again. I must say I love Oceania, by the way. Wonderful work.

[@boorhaave5880]

Corgan really shows his mean side here. He doesn't seem like a loyal friend

[@j03charles]

Haven't seen that interview but maybe he has encountered James Iha since this interview and has some sort of reason.

[@GibbyGlove]

2009

[@ThatFreikugel]

Yeah that was such a dick moment. James is great. When getting past all of the Pumpkin's drama, I know there had to be tight bonds. I don't care what Billy says.

[@82907]

@GibbyGlove Word!

[@68redneck67]

@Brin5252 damn, when did he say that?

[@chrissypoodle]

[@Alex-hu4jh]
