I always find the famous person parent bond especially unique. Billy’s probably met all the world has to offer and in reality he probably would have wanted just to sit down with his dad and feel loved/normal.
Aaron Lang Patrick Stewart didn’t start start trek the next generation till he was 46, you have a huge amount of life left your wasting. Do what you fucking want.
Right!🤣 I just turned into an even more fucked up version of the crazy bullshit I grew up w/ which I always said I'd never become. Some the lines I won't cross are different due to what I experienced but I crossed some of the same & added on more
Milhouse any input on the speculation that billy corgan's ego supersedes him, and he's an asshole to many people including fans? I'm not antagonizing I'm just curious.
Don’t most people lie to get attention or seem cool? When has Corgan acted like he loves attention, the dude isolates himself and writes sad songs for months
Billy wrote a bunch of blogs around 2003 I think. I remember one was about how his dad sold his car for him while he was away in Florida with his first band. His dad kept the money.
@@dekkard I don't think Joe has much insight. He and Billy succeeded despite what they were exposed to growing up. Did Joe being abused or neglected get him his role on NewsRadio, which led to everything else he has achieved in his career? Abusive people want us to thank them for the abuse they gave us, as if it drove us to achieve anything that we have - it's just another manipulation on their part.
BILLY CORGAN needs to write a book!! great stories...I was never really a fan...I had 1 or 2 cd's of Pumpkins...but he is a great storyteller and guy to interview.
RICKY DEAN from what I hear he is working on a book and it’s going to have his experience of seeing “a human shapeshift into something else” I’m incredibly interested
I always wondered how tf a parent could ever be jealous of their own kid(s). But it happens I guess. A parent should want their children to succeed them be better. If you're jealous you're really f d up in the head!
Many kids have fucked up childhoods, and that is all they have. Nevertheless, this artists' music has spoken to me far before his success. I thank Corrigan and Rogan for this authentic interview
Everyone seems to be a narcissist nowadays. The world has gone crazy since the world power stopped worshipping the one and only God Almighty and Jesus Christ.
corgan makes it all sound like so much fun... im 45 and i grew up around bikers, meth, and guns... i can attest that it isnt quite so glamorous.. took me a few, um, decades to get my head straight after that - i knew a lot of kids growing up who never got the chance to sort their broken lives out as an adult the way i did - im very lucky...
Wow, great interview and stories from one of my music heroes about his childhood. “I used to be a little boy, so old in my shoes... what’s a boy supposed to do?” -from Disarm
I loved melancholy and the infinite sadness when I was in 5th grade. I don't listen to the pumpkins much anymore but it was cool hearing an old childhood hero tell stories. JRE is the best podcast
I recommend you listen to Siamese Dream. Greatest album to ever be recorded to this day. And this a 17 year old telling you this, not an old head who thinks his old music is better than what they put out now. Even tho I agree that music was way better back in the day
@@kingexclusivo why do you guys always do this like age matter or something?!? Oh look at me I'm only 15 and like 70 music I'm so cool and not like the kids my age .. lmao
@@mk6gti139 I didn’t say it to be cool, I said because there’s a bunch of people that think only old people listen to rock, and it’s false. In this generation must be people won’t think you’re cool if you listen to rock lmao. And it happens to be my favorite genre so that kinda sucks.
There's a lot out there billy sharing his opinions and thoughts. Always independent..deep... bright, I mean genius brigjt guy find and enjoy ... i wish him well I know he's prone to depression. Always looking forward to what's next with the guy. To me he's like Joey Diaz can't get enough...have him on when you can is mg vote.
I never had a father never met him but I would rather that than have a unsupportive father that never respected me or caused me pain. Maybe it is because I grew up with no pops but I feel for this dude it is tough having a shitty parent. It really messes people up a lot of my friends where drug addicts for most of their life cause of parents like that. Some are dead because of their upbringing...its a shame.
Wow I thought I was alone as far as his relationship with his dad.. I can totally relate to his relationship wit his pops.. I have the same relationship too am get this I have a younger brother and he is like the fav.. it's mind boggling..
He grew up by me in EGV...He went to Fenton with my wife....I seen him rolling down 290 in a benz..I chased up to see him,but he took off lol....Love Billy
Ew. A Benz? I thought he'd have better taste than that. If he went to Fenton, then why doesn't Wikipedia note him as one of the high school's notable people?
When he said his dad told him that it was good he gave Billy a fucked up childhood because it made him successful and Billy said he would have liked just going to Disneyland with dad, I so related. Can I also say that it's great hearing these stories because it makes others like me feel OK knowing there are kindred souls out there who can relate. Most people think I make stuff up when I relate any of my stories so I stopped trying ages ago. Only my husband of 30 plus years who had seen some of it from the inside knows you can't make this shit up.
Interesting guy. I’ve been revisiting Smashing Pumpkins recently. Great music and always good to hear these interviews with Corgan. He should write a book.
Glad he made it out of that young life in one piece. I do dig the music. But I gotta say, I believe he would have been in a great band regardless ..........
His Dad asking for his son to buy the guitar that was supposed to be given to him when he died was probably during his dad's heroin days. He was really bad into that one especially, he's even gotten in trouble for it since Billy became the star that he is. But yeah, he just needed money for drugs most likely.
Billy has led “la vida loca” for sure. Dude seems like he would be cool to hang out with. Seems smart and he’s an excellent story teller.Joe seemed excited to find out how crazy and fucked up Billy’s dad was.
Freakonomics follows 20 kids and follows up every 2 or 5 years. I read the book back in 07 and there is documentation supporting if someone has a messed up childhood it is a marker for success, They believe it instills the drive to be successful.
i had only heard them on not so good car radios & then someone had state of art sound system & let me hear (feed) loud & clear what all was happening on Siamese, yeah, the almost infra sound/ vibes & ultrasonic stuff that u miss on a sh*t radio is night & day. that band was to gether
My mom does/did they same shi*. I had the cleanest room in the house growing up, and she'd always ask if she could clean it. Very infuriating. The whole house was trash and she wouldn't clean it, but would always try to take credit for mine. Billy & I are so relatable, except his p's were druggies, and mine were straight-laced born-agains.
Billy's father wrote the first two albums and the b sides that became the third album. Rumor is Dennis Rodman heard this and it's the reason he visits North Korea to share music. Peace.
Reminds me of my own Dad who inherited some land from an Aunt in Cleveland, had me help him clear brush and trees for an entire summer claiming he would pass the land to me when he died, then immediately sold it after we were done with the work. Lol.
Dysfunctional parents make dysfunctional kids it's one in a million that have the resilience to do something productive and memorable with their lives that's why they're famous
I'm 52 years old and remember when Smashing pumpkins started out & when they were huge. I never liked them though. Until the last year or so, now I regret not listening to them back in the day. But at least I'm not listening to something "popular ".
What gets me is how he seems to be at peace with all of this. Good for him.
True
Have to move forward, no point in dwelling in the past
Siamese Dream is the greatest album ever Billy Corgan is a master of his craft
The same could be said about all SP albums. Imho. Friggen masterpeices.
Today is the greatest day I’ve ever known
Nope. Gish
Gish & Siamese Dream blasting on the headphones, walking anywhere.
Never heard an album as good as that one. Siamese Dream is just such an unique album. Best thing I’ve ever heard .
I always find the famous person parent bond especially unique. Billy’s probably met all the world has to offer and in reality he probably would have wanted just to sit down with his dad and feel loved/normal.
That's what Disarm is about.
Disarm would not have been written if he had the Disneyworld Childhood... 🤔
@@dekkard Yeah, Siamese Dream would not exist. But maybe something as good but happy would?
I grew up with drunks and around drugs also,I'm 49 and I'm waiting for the cool shit to start happening for me.
Aaron Lang Patrick Stewart didn’t start start trek the next generation till he was 46, you have a huge amount of life left your wasting. Do what you fucking want.
Maybe you should just write your life story. People might find it interesting.
You have to make it happen...go to the depths of your soul..that's where you will find it...
😆
Right!🤣 I just turned into an even more fucked up version of the crazy bullshit I grew up w/ which I always said I'd never become. Some the lines I won't cross are different due to what I experienced but I crossed some of the same & added on more
Joe got real excited when Billy mentioned his dad was a drug dealer.
Boner
DOES HE SELL DMT?!
He almost asked for his number
Billy - my dad was a drug dealer
Joe - WHICH DRUGS?!
Dmt
This is such an awesome comment.
Weed and dmt
There's so many of them! Which ones!
@@captainscentsible1811 smelling salts
ffs the more billy talks the more interesting he is. good dude
Milhouse any input on the speculation that billy corgan's ego supersedes him, and he's an asshole to many people including fans? I'm not antagonizing I'm just curious.
Agreed dude is crazy interesting!!
he is sooo down to earth, just like any one of us but super talented.
He's a colossal douchebag
Don’t most people lie to get attention or seem cool? When has Corgan acted like he loves attention, the dude isolates himself and writes sad songs for months
Billy is a very underrated guitarist.
Machinen Kanone by whom?
Underrated bassist too.
Underrated singer too. Might as well mention he’s an underrated drummer
This legitimately confuses me because he is one of the most successful guitar players of all time--what do you mean?
@@kyle9902 people here are dumb
Didn’t know much about billy, his past or anything. but I can listen to him talk for hours. Really well spoken, great story teller and very smart.
Billy wrote a bunch of blogs around 2003 I think. I remember one was about how his dad sold his car for him while he was away in Florida with his first band. His dad kept the money.
He’s so naturally talented he made it in SPITE of his childhood. The vast majority of people who grow up like that are troubled adults.
As Joe says: pressure makes diamonds... 💎
One troubled adult saying hi ..

You should listen to more pumpkins, it only gets better after the 50th playthrough
Sometimes not knowing everything is more fun. I think, in Billy's case, the music is even more fascinating.
Boy am I glad my dad was a good dude
What do you do for work?
Would love to see an interview between Rogan and zack de la rocha
...the microphone might explode... heheh
that man pulled a sean penn. dude went completely awol.
@Chris Barnes Right?!? Joe should ask for you to be a guest because you're so interesting!
@Chris Barnes Compared to you? Shit, it's not even close. You have the wit and personality of a mosquito! Believe in yourself more Chris!
@Chris Barnes A basement AND a mom joke in the same post? Holy shit! We have Dane Cook in the house guys!
Every now and then somebody says something to remind me of why I'm so glad my dad was a good old-fashioned dad
Yep, loved my dad till the day he passed away ! NEVER had a problem with him or the way he treated me
I always wondered how tf a parent could ever be jealous of their own kid(s). But it happens I guess. A parent should want their children to succeed them be better. If you're jealous you're really f d up in the head!

Wendy Mcreynollds he still makes great music Oceania was amazing
Wendy Mcreynollds Corrigan?
Billy Corgonzola
Corrigan seems like a very genuine, sincere dude. Not at all what I expected.
Billys dad is his hero.❤
i think your old man and my old man should get together and go bowling.
OK Mr. Bender
Dont mess with the bull
cody allan you'll get the horns.
They can take mine with em..

Wow poor Billy... Having a narcissist for a parent.
So relateable
Listen to Disarm.

I can relate to having a parent jealous of my success. So weird and messed up. Dysfunctional. Happy for Billy.
*Corgan is a real one*
His dad sounds like a jerk.
John Rotten I think his dad is a lot better now.
Or so the Germans would have us believe
Probably Frank Stallone
Stalin was just as bad

Fd up family club represent. We are blessed with rage and grace.
Wow, great interview and stories from one of my music heroes about his childhood.
“I used to be a little boy, so old in my shoes... what’s a boy supposed to do?” -from Disarm
Can easily relate to this guy. My mom was a crazy musician, attorney, dealer & user. Shit gets infuckingSANE when your parents ain’t straight
This Corrigan interview by Rogaine is the baldest!
anglekan by definition the older ones remember better...
This made me chuckle loudly.
They're not just the owners, they're also clients!

Crazy childhoods sometimes lead to great music or hilarious comics.
When people hear the jokes or listen to the lyrics, it makes people think that, _"It's not just me."_
Nobody says “quick story” more before a quick story than Billy lol
I could listen to Billy's stories all day!
I miss your band and your music my friend
This is the only podcast that I've ever gotten into. I actually downloaded itunes just so I can download episodes to my computer. Always fascinating.
Joe " are my kids going to be boring?" Rogan.
I grew up in a fucked up home, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Definately one of Joes best guests
Billy Is an amazing Man!!!!
I F*** ING love Disarm. My favourite song.
Billy Corgan is one of your very best interviews. All of these clips are amazing.
The full interview is gone. I want to watch it so bad but the powers that be don’t want it out
Loved Smashing Pumpkins but Billy Corgan has always been the strangest looking dude.
There's a lot out there billy sharing his opinions and thoughts. Always independent..deep... bright, I mean genius brigjt guy find and enjoy ... i wish him well I know he's prone to depression.

I’m lucky I got to see the Pumpkins during the Mellon Collie Tour. Billy is truly a rockstar.
Just saw him live tonight, amazing.
The talent will always come out regardless of the upbringing. BC would have been successful regardless, just with a happier childhood

BC and SP one of the top 3 best bands ever!
I wouldn’t doubt that Billy will be a better dad than his.
Well ya he's a millionaire, so making ends meet with drug deals and shady shit won't happen
I don't have children yet but i relate to Billy's dad , hope my kids are awesome musicians
And Billys Dad Is a Legend!!!
As a kid who grew up fucked up I'm still waiting on my redemption arch.
He has one son going to be 2 ??? I thought his son was the lead singer in my chemical romance ?
If that were true that would mean that Joe and Billy would be related seeing that Gerad Way and Joe are cousins
Interesting guy. I’ve been revisiting Smashing Pumpkins recently. Great music and always good to hear these interviews with Corgan. He should write a book.
I downloaded Pisces Iscariot yesterday from the nostalgia I got from this interview. My original was on cassette.
And that’s how 90s alternative music was made..😢
I love billy corgan even more now
What a good story teller he is
SP was my favorite band growing up. Although it was a little disappointing hearing them live.
Reminds me of my dad Selling off that Nickel Saturday Night Special I was supposed to inherit someday.
I heard him on stage tell a similar tale, god bless
The guest's voice is calming. He could do audio books.
Glad he made it out of that young life in one piece. I do dig the music. But I gotta say, I believe he would have been in a great band regardless ..........
I always forget about Zwan which was a side band that he was in. I think it was just one album in the early 2000s.
Shit boy.... You been thru shit... Respect Billy..
Billy Corgan talking about Disneyland reminds me of Family Guy.
Billy is a great songwriter, but the true rock star is his dad.
His Dad asking for his son to buy the guitar that was supposed to be given to him when he died was probably during his dad's heroin days. He was really bad into that one especially, he's even gotten in trouble for it since Billy became the star that he is. But yeah, he just needed money for drugs most likely.
I like that Billy was allowed to look at guitars. Nigel Tufnel wouldn't even let people look at his.
Grew up in that same dad mind frame. Funny
Absolutely never knew how genuine and what a fantastic speaker Billy was!!!! What an awesome interview!!! 🌺

Corgan Sr just passed a few months ago.
I saw billy play in the burbs in 1989 or 90. Like a house party. It didn’t register until a few years back.
I saw what you did there
Sounds way more functioning then my childhood lol
Wow.. I can certainly relate.. cheers to our fucked up childhoods.. yet we turned out all right 🍻😊
Why not the full interview up??
