- This episode shows the reach that #ThirtyDays is having including Billy Corgan launching his Snapchat Account. Billy visits RCA Studios in Nashville, TN to soak up the vibes of the famous space. Plus he ventures into Alabama and finds an old bridge as inspiration.
I think what Billy is doing is truly something special. When I was jamming out to Gish on tape in my Walkman, I would have never guessed this would be what he would be doing now. This is Fantastic! Best wishes on the rest of the journey.
that last clip playing an improvised acoustic version of Snail with that random background landscape was just awesome 👍
Loving this series!!!! Billy I'm glad you are re-embracing various social media. It's not perfect but it's still good for connecting with people especially abroad!
I agree!
The Everlasting Gaze Lovjng the series and the stories, songs and insight. Found out about this from Adam the Woo. :) Thank you so much for doing this, kind Sir!
Billy, you're a genius.
Beautiful, watching him is so inspiring
The Smashing Pumpkins all of em
Beautiful piano melody
Mr. Corgan, congratulations on becoming a father for the second time. Best to you and your family. And thank you, for all the wonderful music---past, present and future.
These videos are so rich! I savor one every day and I'm already scared to get to the last one. I'm so moved by Billy's openness and sentimentality. What a dream. ❤️❤️❤️
I doubt you will get to read this but just wanna thank you for all that you're still putting out on here. Been with you since SD days, that's all. Peace.
The Smashing Pumpkins 🎃

Hey Billy once again thanks for it all
Followed your ThirtyDays so closely at the time and just can't ever get enough of this episode.. Snail breaks me every damn time. Thank you as always, Billy.
Man William, you've really touched me on this. You're an amazing man and an inspiration to me. Glad to see you well, love everything you do! Xoxo
Billy. Thanks for being yourself and for helping others through your music. You helped me grow up and stay connected to my inner feelings, good or bad. And I know you did that for a whole generation. So we will always be grateful and follow you wherever you go.
Billy teaming up with David Lagana is an incredible match. Two creative geniuses at work!
the series so far has been really awesome billy and im glad that you've come back to social media
The Smashing Pumpkins Billy!!! Come jam with us
So happy to hear Snail (I had voted for it on Instagram). Thanks for the trip, nice directing / editing job Justin, keep up the amazing work guys I'm having a blast with the whole experience
I love the 30 days project. Its relaxing to watch.
Just heard of these on reddit Billy. Was a big fan of your writings of early life you put in the net many many years ago. So this stuff is just great.
Smashing through all the videos this weekend.
Thanks and hi from Australia
cool cover man, u seem so vulnerable , very interesting to see you and your travel,thank you,longtime fan Charlie
Your so awesome, I think its amazing what you do. Thank you. Theresa (Terrie)
Hey Billy.... If your Reading this. Thank you for everything you've done and will do next....
Billy corgan is such a huge musical inspiration to me
Love this
Thank you for playing Snail! My all-time favorite!
Listen to the piano version Billy plays at Zulu's on UA-cam - even better than the Gish version.
Greetings from the Uk, enjoying the journey
Excellent and inspiring :)
OMG- i love Billy's voice!!!!
Thank you Billy Corgan
Amazing!
These are pretty cool so far. If you come up to MN you'd enjoy Fort Snelling, but ask for the "real tour" as they have a nice version for kids/families and a true version for those who ask.
Glad you're getting social interactions, Billy! :D
Thank you for responding! :D

LOVE YOU WPC
Proud that billy found my hometown of killen alabama intriguing; yeah the aesthetic of the ole abandoned shoal creek bridge is 90s rock gold. So kool he took the time to do this! God loves rockers
Hey it's the first one he hasn't stopped to go on a tangent about freemasons in. Just joking with ya Billy. These are great so far. Can't wait for more. Love ya man.
Also don't forget to come through Georgia. We got some great small town down here too.
It was great to hear you play "Snail," thanks Billy! This series that you're doing is interesting
I drive by that bridge and think about you every time lmao. Still can't believe you graced our town with this.
so fuckin cool. love old recording studios! RCA looks amazing and full of soul.
your voice sounds great too.
You are amasin billy
If this man only knew how much his music had influenced and changed my life...been a huge fan since the 5th grade. I'm now 36! Wish we had wifi and iPads back in the 90's!
Meh, it was better without social media. People used to watch concerts without a phone in their hand. The internet gives us free music, free movies, and tons of knowledge, but social media like Facebook/twitter is awful
really cool segments! I've been a fan since Gish & love that Billy has let us into a world we dont get to see often. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, man✌. Btw, I live in Jacksonville, Florida....birthplace of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Ronnie VanZant's daughter Melody still lives here all grown up. She used to own a bar/live music venue in the heart of Jacksonville Beach called Freebird Live. Bummer they had to close down. Come visit Jacksonville ☺🤘
Ashley Jones seconded, please visit Jacksonville or coastal georgia! i will be there in a heartbeat
OMG amazing
Wow. When Billy started playing Snail. That hit me. It has been years since I heard that song.
Awesome!
All these miniatures are wonderfull, like little Mike Leigh films, kudos to the director, editor and the crew, and good like to you, Billy!
That song is classic Billy Corgan. I want it.
God bless you muy friend
Billy rules 👍🏻
The absolute genius of our times.....Billy Corgan.
He was a great songwriter and I agree he is a genius, but people like Elliott Smith were equally, if not more, talented. I'm assuming you're talking about the original pre-original breakup Pumpkins, because he can't write for shit anymore.
Loved this series. The night at the bar would have been great fun, but I'd have been there to see Robert. ;-)
hey Billy. ...you're such an intelligent and interesting person. It would be so great to meet you. The things that I bet you have witnessed and know....that regular people don't necessarily think about. ...from beverly, Chicago.
the old antique store was great
WOW! That little Yamaha guitar sounds great!
I've watched your every facebook live show!
The ones where you tell things about yourself, like Q&As and interviews. It's so cool that you're replying to comments now!
I love that you stop and talk with ppl and are open and talk like a normal person unlike so many Hollywood types who reek of arrogance and hypocrisy
It's interesting to see Billy exploring new directions outside his traditional "Smashing Pumpkins" sound. I'd love to see him produce a folk record.
great stuff billy . come and play in nyc :)
Oh my God, I am from Jasper, Alabama and Billy Corgan was in town? Unbelievable!
Love ya billy! I'm sure you won't read this, but I just got a tattoo of the number 33 because of your song thirty-three. My favorite song. I relate to it a lot. And it reminds me of when i bought Melancholy. Plus I'm 33 at the moment and my mother had me at the age of 33. Saw you in 2007 at Foxwoods casino in Connecticut. It was awesome, i have many pictures :-)
i wonder if he still has that ice cream truck! lol
He ate that shit right before he ate the prom.
Friends are often found in the furthest and closest of places...
nice
Hi, I saw the day AL , all the way from Oz, still here for now right, luv Natalie.
should do this again someday
As far as music goes I don't think of Country music AS music. But hearing him play Almost makes it seem worth listening to. ..Almost. I'm glad I stumbled onto this #ThirtyDays, I can bet the reason there isn't more views is because others are as unaware of it's existence as I was. And it's amazing. And Personal. Thank for sharing.
Lol. Wow. What? You haven't REALLY listened to any country then.
@@UNEAKinfluence Nope. It all sounds the same. I literally listen to every other form of music except country.
@@rafiqkatana Townes Van Zandt? Blaze Foley? What about Ol' Johnny Cash? Glen Campbell?? Hank William's? Come on, man.
@@UNEAKinfluence Apologies, but no. I (as in me) find it really annoying. I find the whole 'strum thump' tempo to all of the "songs" to be very irritating. But I'm willing to try any songs you might recommend. Perhaps it's gotten better since I last tried listening to it.
Sometimes it really does feel like I am throwing my life away even though I have lived a life to the fullest. I have lived the life of four or five people with very full lives.
Ah, Snail is such a nice melody
Hey it first one he hasn't stopped to go on a tangent about freemasons in. Just joking with ya Billy. These are great so far. Can't wait for more. Love ya man.
Smashing pumpkins
Country music that's interesting
I was told, it was a while back while driving from Wny to Florida
That country music is the most popular here in America
There were times the only stations that come in were country music station
Christian Rock music is big here n South Carolina and I actually like it & what I've been listening to
After all I'm in the buckle of the Bible Belt, a church on every corner
Not just the reason I'm here
Thanks "Social Billy" ! Having A Great Time watching !
Aw "was anybody commenting" that's so sweet
Dont miss the beautiful rendition of Snail at the end
Ok, on or off with the coat!
It is hard to recapture that which harvested you....you can resurface it but it is never the same...
whoa SOFTLY, I NEVER KNEW
I live in Alabama☺
it's hard to find that mojo magic....can't resurface--it's never the same
Why does it say watch on UA-cam and I'm on the channel and can't find the performance?!
How many were trying to close the stupid tweet window @ 7:04, trying to see the chords he was playing before realizing it was PART OF THE VIDEO!?!? He was playing Snail which is the 5th of my top 5 of my all time favorite songs to play. I had taught myself years ago how to play it, I always wondered how he played it? Only got to see the first chord before it was getting blocked...
it has a woody Guthrie vibe
Billy, do you still play a strat -- and do you not like rosewood fretboards tonally or simply prefer the maple feel / speed?
I've always appreciated the fact that wpc has always taken risks in his musical career trying different things and telling a different story.and I don't believe the music industry and the average background listeners understand or recognize the value in that kind of artistry. lots of people don't like change and only want to hear the lightning in a bottle over and over.
Well, most stuff after the original breakup isn't very good at all and he seems to have lost his knack for lyricism we saw in songs like In the Arms of Sleep, Mayonaise, Muzzle, Disarm, Blank Page, 33, etc. As soon as I heard "I'm gonna love you 101 percent" I died a little inside. He is just too comfy is all. He conquered the world in the 90's and completed his mission. Now he isn't trying as hard since he already achieved his goals and then some, and so his music blows. It happens to most artists.
Social acclimating

PLEASE COVER THE END OF THE WORLD SONG
