Kudos to Laney for not getting him to downplay the other gear. It's refreshing to see a company that's not threatened by the fact these guys use multiple brands.
I know. That's exactly what I was thinking. And Laney makes great amps that stand out on their own. Their amps are better than ever IMHO. I've been a fan of these amps since I started playing in the mid 80s.
Exactly, you stated that beautifully!! Bcuz, as we’ve all found out thru the years, inspiration comes in many forms-with many, many brand names attached to it!!!
" Im a guitar player first" And what a fuckin guitar player Billy is. Truly underrated and not many people who arent really really into SP know just how unbelievable he is. Been a fan for 30+ years top 3 band for me and never got to see them until 8/14/2024 in KCMO and i was always aware of this fact but aftee watching him live and then seeing him rip into a 5 min guitar solo i know it without a doubt now. BC is one of the greats plain and simple.
Billy I am overjoyed to see you so happy and brimming with enthusiasm. Your band is thriving, you're tying the knot, you have beautiful children and a tea shop. You look in good health. You're glowing!! That's called arriving. Maybe you once thought you had already peaked. You were wrong, my friend. All that was external. Now you've arrived on the inside. That's the gold. 🥰
Great comment. The positivity on his outlook towards life has been so visible in recent years and it's amazing to see one of the 90's guys make it through to the other side after sadly losing too many greats.
I remember reading a Laney Brochure from the late 90s about the story of Lyndon Laney that he played with Plant and Bonham before Led Zeppelin at one time. If Billy only knew :D
@@BlueHopi144 You might be right, Lars is actually a fantastic interviewer, he really gets into the discussion and laughs with his guests. Looks like he really enjoys himself.
I love how Billy is so open and attributive to so many influences. From the Cure to shoegaze. From Iommi to Hendrix and Brian May. Randy Rhodes. I remember an interview he did in the 90's about EVH. Van Halen was sorta passe' at the time as grunge had rolled in. 80's metal and all that was out, definitely not cool anymore. And he said something like- Eddie might be old, but he can still kick your ass. Haha. Corgan is also just as down to earth and everyday human as Eddie was too, none of that rock star machismo. I too was taken to another world of doom and mystique the first time i heard War Pigs at the age of 7. Nothing quite ever sounds the same after that!! Rock on Billy, you belong with the legends and the great ones!!
@@shaunkellison1761 dumb comment. Dude is responsible for creating multiple records that critics and millions of people consider “classics”. You have done nothing that has contributed to culture, and have never written a single song on the level of “tonight tonight”, let alone the boatloads of incredible songs he’s written.
In a world of digital amp and modelers and a lot of guitarist slimming down on tour gear, Billy literally is doing the opposite and it makes me so happy.
Now this is meaningful content. Well done Laney, I was engaged the entire time. I hate rankings because they are subjective but Billy’s name should always be mentioned when discussing the most important and influential guitar players of all time.
Whoa...that was one of the best Corgan interviews/discussions ever. Maybe one of the most touching, personal, powerful and articulate rock discussions ever!
As someone from the Midlands, this interview filled me with pride and respect, and it's great to see BC looking and sounding so well too. Music is life!
Billy is such an underrated guitarist, not to mention his producing skills, which really help faithfully translate the tones, attack, and subtleties to recordings.
If you haven't heard Billy on Tony Iommi's solo album you are in for a treat. It's a masterpiece!! Black Oblivion is the song. They complement each other so well. I hope they work together again someday!
I love that song. somehow the 2 just go so well together...Billy has always been a massive fan of Tony so it only makes sense that that collaboration would happen.
I just listened to that song for the very first time thanks to your comment. That has to be the BEST vocal layering I've heard from Billy Corgan! It harmonized so well with the guitars. I've been listening to him since the late '90s, including The Future Embrace album, and that song with Tony was fantastic!🤘🏾
Listening to Billy describe the process, you realize how scientific it is! For example all the different amps and their sounds - finding the right sound, etc. I'm sure he devotes a lot of time to experimentation but by now obviously has a very polished ear. Also, I notice that Billy is very technical whenever he talks about music in an interview. This is why his music is sooo fricken good!!
So much passion. He still has exactly the same awe and wonder for music as he had as a child and that’s why he has been so successful and brilliant. Thanks for all the musical experiences xxx
Holy fuck, that was fascinating. I’ve always loved billy but hearing him talk about Iommi, my hero, gave me such respect for him. I’ve always thought Billy’s tone was godly
I saw SP third show with a drummer. I remember seeing them hang out as a band pre-fame, pre-albums at several Chicago venues. I remember because you could not overlook Billys height and D'arcy's shock of platinum hair.
Billy said that some big-time producer once told him, "anatomy is destiny, and kid, you've got anatomy." I still remember seeing him perform for the first time and being shocked when he walked onstage and was basically a giant. He looked so boyish in all the photos I'd seen. He put one massive black boot up on the monitor and started to play and I was in love forever. I think the look of the band was a huge part of their success tbh.
I paid $1500 for a ticket to the 'Final Metro' show in 2000. As a 19 year old kid that was more or less my life savings. Drove all the way from CT to Chicago for the show. Pretty amazing memories!
@@machinesofgod The Pumpkins were my everything back then haha. Saw the day prior show too at United Center or whatever it's called now. The Metro show was absolutely epic and most of the band & fans were in tears by the end of it.
Billy eloquently articulates the benefits of Laney amps/cabs. Very informative. My experience with Laney cabs/speakers has been positive. They nail it.
That was fantastic. He got a little choked up at the end. It’s interesting, how he speaks of that proverbial sound in his head. Billy Corgan on Siamese Dream is mine.
I really respect that Billy can talk so passionately about his Laney while also being upfront about having love for his other amps like Orange. Very rare to see an artist not being a total shill in a video like this, this was fantastic.
Learning Mayonnaise on guitar and was fascinated by the alternate tuning. Saw this and absolutely loved this. Always loved the band but going back and listening to the guitar work is like rediscovering the band. Totally unique, raw, and perfect.
Saw them after the gish album with my friends in Paradiso amsterdam maybe 1992. The show wasn’t sold out with maybe 100 people we paid 10 euro’s then 25 dutch gulden. After the show they asked us if we liked the show and came and talk to us! I have a Laney cub super 12 now; made in China 😄
The Smashing Pumpkins means a lot to me, I grew up with their music thanks to MTV during the Adore and Machina era, the break up of the band was upsetting, their comeback was a welcome surprise and am glad they are making great music, long live the Pumpkins!
Amazing interview. Honest about the content being about Laney and just so relevant to their (and so many of our) favourite sounds. We get so caught up with the brands that we see / it’s the sounds and genres that we hear and what actually made those iconic which I think this interview really highlights. If it works/sounds great, and has influenced generations / then there’s something going right isn’t there!!
Beyond the few songs that get radio play, I didn't truly discover Black Sabbath until I was 26. Master of Reality changed my life, I had heard "heavier" bands; progressive, thrash, death metal, etc... But there isn't a goddamn single band in history that hits you as hard as Black Sabbath. When you compare Master of Reality to ANYTHING of the time, it really proves how monumental Sabbath is. There wasn't anything else like it, they literally created an entire genre. It's amazing to see the impact they have had on such a vast amount of musicians, and it's cool that Billy shares that appreciation.
Man his show in St Louis last night was amazing!! Walls of sound, Billy sounds even better now than when I first became a fan in the 90’s ❤I brought my son to the show (he played lead guitar in bands) what a great experience to share!!! Keep on rock’n Billy!!!
My first Laney experience was quite similar. After trying out so many amps, the final duel was between the MESA Stiletto, and Laney Gh100TI. As cool and modern the Stiletto sounded the 100TI just took me back to that kid listening to Sabbath. I bought the Laney 😊
Fantastic video! I love how real Billy is in this video and you can really feel how authentically passionate he is about Laney. I really hope you will release a signature amp for him! I would buy one immediately!
Almost. Tony uses an LA100BL which doesn't have a Master Volume. Billy on the other hand uses an LA100SM (SM = Super Mod) which in this case is the addition of a Master Volume stage in the amp.
24:57 that is so important. Passing it on. Knowing you’re important to the next kid in line and helping them along the way. This guy influenced my style so much and even more importantly he gave me the freedom to develop my own sound in his Guitar Mag interviews over the years and in his evolving style. Thank you Billy and Laney.
That's very appreciated Michael. Thank you. We truly are grateful for how much this video meant to you. It was an absolute joy to make and more will be coming.
I've loved the Pumpkins for longer than any other band, and Billy has had a massive influence on my playing. I've had the Laney IRT60 head for the last 2 years, and it is by far the best amp I've ever owned. Such a big, lush sound with loads of features. A very satisfying amp that does beautiful cleans, rich crunches and monsterous high gains. ❤
My 2c - I was raised on the intricate production perfection of Brian May and Alex Lifeson, but when I first heard Vol. 4 it melted my face AND my brain. And why, at 60-some, I still play a Laney and an SG.
"The guy who'd played in Siouxsie & the Banshees" must be the late, great John McGeoch 😀 His name's been popping up for me quite a bit recently, too! 😊
This was amazing! Cudos to Laney for not only putting this video together, but also allowing Billy to talk positively about other amps he uses. It was also great to hear Billy speak with comfort and passion 🤘🤘🤘
@@leob4403 As much as that would have been comical, we honestly would have left that out of the edit if he did. We're secure enough to be aware that Laney is not the only amp brand in the world. Although, yes it would have been funny 😆
Thank you Khrys. Our Videographer is more grateful than you know for your compliment. We are very aware that he wishes to play more than Laney an there's no point in pretending it's any other way. At the end of the day it's all being routed through an LA412 cab and that's pretty awesome. Thanks for watching and enjoying so much.
I saw the pumpkins on lollapalooza in 94 and loved hearing Gish and Siamese Dream! Both records are pure HEAVEN! Billy, James, Darcy, and Jimmy doesn’t get better than that! I’m not gonna lie: I REALLY MISS DARCY BEING IN THIS BAND 💔
Ten minutes and 52 in..."what is this fucking sound" comment. There it is. That's when you know you've been hooked. The more I hear Billy talk, the more I like this guy!
Classic Billy Corgan. Claims ignorance and then explains all technical details. Gotta love the guy
Kudos to Laney for not getting him to downplay the other gear. It's refreshing to see a company that's not threatened by the fact these guys use multiple brands.

I'm fairly sure Billy knows that story. That's one of my all time favourite stories to tell people. Pretty incredible.
Good piece. Anyone that is a fan of Billy really need to see the Beato interview with him if you haven't already.
I enjoyed the Beato interview too. Glad you enjoyed ours as well.
From the first time I heard Gish…I was sold. The SP sound just hooked me in a way not many other bands have. Billy is a treasure, great interview.
Many people don't know this but Billy can shred like crazy on guitar. Very good player, always wanted to play like him.
I think everyone who just watched this documentary/advertisement know now, since there's a clip of him shredding.
There was never any question over his skills. One listen of I Am One or Geek USA should be enough to know.
What do you mean, many people dont know? LOL
How the hell would you know?
They litterally show it in the video, but as far as i'm concerned everybody knows he's a great guitar player.
Absolute shredder.
Hearing Corgan talk about discovering Sabbath at age 8 and characterizing the sound as “mystical” makes me a much bigger fan of the Pumpkins. 🖖
watch the interview with Lars Ulrich on his podcast, he talks more about it. Its one of the best interviews he has ever done.
their first album was full of those 70's influences for me ...thats why i loved them from the get go ....
@@rabes1981 Lars is way more skilled at those interviews than as a drummer ...love the way he conducts them
@@BlueHopi144 You might be right, Lars is actually a fantastic interviewer, he really gets into the discussion and laughs with his guests. Looks like he really enjoys himself.
@@rabes1981 he probably found another gift/talent he never knew he had in him . I will search for his Billy interview .
Laney Amplification rules! Billy Corgan rules! Perfection.
My wife dragged me to a Pumpkins concert a couple of years ago…I didn’t wanna go…so glad I did…one of the best 2hr shows I ever saw…rock on😎
this was so much more than a "this artist uses this gear" video. several extra miles to make this special. nice work Laney.
I could listen to him all day. The guy’s so passionate about music!
Get a job or a Life.

@@leob4403 As much as that would have been comical, we honestly would have left that out of the edit if he did. We're secure enough to be aware that Laney is not the only amp brand in the world. Although, yes it would have been funny 😆
Thank you Khrys. Our Videographer is more grateful than you know for your compliment. We are very aware that he wishes to play more than Laney an there's no point in pretending it's any other way. At the end of the day it's all being routed through an LA412 cab and that's pretty awesome. Thanks for watching and enjoying so much.
His life story is very inspiring.
Billy is a musical genius cause he knows what’s great n he quoted Diorama as being one of the best records of this generation
I saw the pumpkins on lollapalooza in 94 and loved hearing Gish and Siamese Dream! Both records are pure HEAVEN! Billy, James, Darcy, and Jimmy doesn’t get better than that! I’m not gonna lie: I REALLY MISS DARCY BEING IN THIS BAND 💔
Marshall, Orange, Fender and Laney: the four giants of amp.
Ten minutes and 52 in..."what is this fucking sound" comment. There it is. That's when you know you've been hooked. The more I hear Billy talk, the more I like this guy!
