/ fallontonight
FACT: The only person in the history of the world to own a wrestling league AND cover Miley Cyrus.
JAJAJJA
Fuck yeah.
I miss this voice! Some of the best of the 90s.
True !!!
+val balarb I think he had to have vocal chord surgery and that almost always affects your voice
Truth!
Good news: he's alive, and touring! He definitely nailed them all when I saw them last week
He's been making great music for the past two decades, since the 90s ended. It's on you to continue to support him.
you can tell by the comments the generation gap of the viewers lol
The world needs Smashing Pumpkins again.
Balien Darkblade They should cover this, Billy nailed this
Balien Darkblade The world has them...did you see them on Jimmy Fallon, tonight?
Another Mellon collie double please!!!!
I assume you are aware they are recording and touring again?
They put on a great show in OKC Saturday!
If you don't know who Billy corgan is please go listen to the smashing pumpkins wow kids.
Slates Thugnasty 👍👍👍
I'm 15 and i listen to the smashing pumkins dude
@@cjhudson393 they’re my fav. 15 in a month 😊
@@olivermiller8943 18 and still love the smashing pumpkins
@@olivermiller8943 also 15, pumpkins is my fav band of all time so far, XYU and Galapogos are one of my favs
This is so natural, it could almost be a William Patrick Corgan song... almost.
All these comments not knowing who billy is makes me wanna quit life. HOW. Also this was great.
Danky Pickles As a hardcore fan of the Pumpkins and Billy in the 90s and early 2000s. He not only drastically changed his style of music but he changed his worldly outlook and became a little cooky. His conspericy theories are far out there and his politics aren't even related to the dark rebellion of his songs. I always wanted them to make a significant comeback but was always very disappointed. This song was great although I'm curious why he chose it.
Whole other music genre, but when George Michael died, i wrote:"Damn George Michael died today" in a discord channel and a 21 year old asked: "Who?" Like WTF. Anyways grew up listening to this voice. So good to hear it again :)
chad markham people change as they grow up. He has become more conservative because as many of us realize getting older makes us wiser hopefully. He's a very intelligent guy and he's seen alot of manipulation and crap in the music industry and he's not interested in being anyone's tool. It's good he had his success, if he were starting now he'd be ignored. People want cheap empty music not rebellious fight for the cause type stuff of the 80's and 90's. The generation doesn't care about a message. So that leaves him with few choices where to go now.
Crochet Hobbit At my age, I bet I could come up lots of very famous past singers that you’ve never heard of.
YB E I don’t think today’s music is “empty”. You’re just one of those people who think your generation’s music is the only good music. I’m a true music lover and find all music from many generations have good and bad (only in my opinion) songs. From classical to rap to heavy metal to pop to rock to country. My least favorite is heavy metal but that doesn’t mean it’s horrible music.
Billy Corgan is the frontman of the entire alt music genre
*was - nowadays he`s just a pathetic clown long past his prime.
The majority of my funeral expenses will be used to pay for him to show up and play this live beside my casket
Planing on dying young then?
You must be rich
Nothing makes me happier than to be able to hold on to the artists who were amazing in my youth and who remain amazing today.
Anyone who wants to know who Billy Corgan is...
He's the voice of generation, the leader of the Smashing Pumpkins, a singer/songwriter who is so prolific he puts modern artists (who use 5 or 6 people to help them or in many cases write entire songs) to shame. He, and his band, in my opinion overshadowed Nirvana (who are only as famous because of tragedy) and were the last true alternative band who never became mainstream but through talent and hard work made the mainstream come to them. In the early to mid nineties you'd be hard pressed to find someone who didn't listen to them, they may not admit it because SP became that kinda band...they transcended popularity by 1995 and were just that, popularity in itself
oddly enough I saw this happen with the Cure as well in the very late 80's and early 90's, these bands were so popular that their music and image were inescapable, say what you will but TATT was in middle school in the late 80's and high school until the middle of the 90's so I was there, I, witness
well said and accurate not to
mention one of the greatest dynamic guitarist of all time and certainly of his generation- being honest Corgan is so prolific his catalogue rivals Prince, Lennon McCartney.
two years ago, i stumbled upon mayoniase and it shaped my music taste forward. got me into all 90's rock and they are for sure the BEST band of the 90's in my opinion. Their music is so interesting sounding and meaningful. It very much confuses me as to why they weren't as famous as nirvana and alice in chains. Siamese dream is the best album I have heard in my life because of the fuzzy sound, they amazingly strange riffs, and the variation in tone and length. from acoustic wintery sounding ballads. to long harsh jam sessions of emotion and angst, to songs that change tempos and tones multiples times culminating in one of the most breathtaking experiences in music altogether. Seeing then live in may of this year was the best night of my life and I hope to continue digging deeper in their library and finding more impossibly good pieces of sound. Truly one of the best bands of all time.
Facts
As a 90s kid I remember him as Billy Corgan and to me he's still a great musician
To me, he is still Billy Corgan.
@@YukiGachalife_00 and he always will be!
I miss Billy and Smashing Pumpkins!!! This cover is better than the original. Billy is TALENT!!!!!!
He should start a new band and call it Billy Talent.
Super talented I love him so much
They still make music.
Far better
@@RH-ed1gc I'm sorry no one recognised your amazing joke!
Makes me so happy to read these comments that people still love him. He's a musical genius -changed the whole game in the 90's
hells yes man, learnin to sing this for a friend not a fan of miley so searched for a cover was absolutely thrilled to find Billy did one, this guy rocks, it's also ironic cuz the friend i'm learnin it for is also named Billy.
Still here 2022
Forever love Billy. A genius and the new songs from Atum are amazing.
That vibrato is delicious to my ears. 😍
Love his passion, singing it like he wrote it.
"derp de derp, derp derp de derp" - fuckin' virgin sounding like louis walsh and simon cowell
timmya4000 wow someone’s mad
I'm going to venture a guess I'm old enough to be the mom to anyone with a "wtf" or who is this comment. I'm going to go sit in the corner and cry while wondering where the world went wrong. This is called talent kids! 👵🤘
Singing somebody else's shitty song takes talent?
i agree with you and i'm 14, this generation is fucked up ahah
K McC preach! ❤️
Its not really talent..im gen x and i never thought he was talented..im a musician so i know what he's playing isn't hard at all.
Blixx Check out some of Billys work on the smashing pumpkins and then ask yourself again if he is talented or not
Billy Corgan !!!
Anyone getting upset by the negative comments is likely missing the reason WPC chose to cover this to begin with: to stir people up. He's a master heel, after all.
This is awesome!! I love when musicians embrace a variety of genres. Wrecking Ball is a good pop song and it’s cool to see Billy perform it!
Oh man 😮 Billy Corgan of the smashing pumkins covering wrecking ball by a pop star good cover tho better than the original
So beautiful. Voice of my youth.
Now let's hear Miley sing Cherub Rock.
Can the Smashing Pumpkins cover this already, Billy freaking nailed this and we just need the rest of the band
HE IS THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, like trent reznor is NIN.
Absolutely fantastic. Billy nailed it
AMAZING COVER! It makes it sound as if it was a proper good song! Thanks, Billy!
Fernando Ramires it’s an amazing cover!! Billy brought out the hidden beauty of Wrecking Ball!!
It is a proper good song when Miley sings it too! No matter who sings it it will always be a proper good song!
@@moonontheman1657 Indeed it is an amazing song, and Miley is an amazing artist
Oh Billy, I miss your voice so bad. Music just has not been the same without it. We need more Corgan!
he just released another album! #ogilala
God, I love WPC
When an artist makes a cover their own...
As always William delivers , one of the true talents showing us again what it means to be gifted .
William Patrick Corgan from Demolishing Orange Gourds.
NOW I love this song! Billy is the greatest!
Better version. I miss Smashing Pumpkins.
I really dislike music from Miley Cyrus but I have to admit this song was great...and obviously the cover was great
Billy's music has shaped my whole life since 1990. If I could hear him perform Sad Peter Pan on the acoustic guitar with someone playing the flute parts with him, my music life would be complete.
Turning trash into treasure! All hail WPC!!!
BlahStoolSampleBlah no
But this song is already a treasure before he made this cover lol.
The reason he covered it was because he actually likes the original. Why cover music you loathe.
BlahStoolSampleBlah, he didn't even change anything. It's the same song. It was a good song in the first place. It's probably why he covered it.
BlahStoolSampleBlah a good song is a good song. This is always a good song regardless of the quality of people and over popularity of it.
If I didn't know, I'd think this is his own song
Putin: "I never meant to start a war, I just wanted you to let me in..."
Awesome this better than the original . Heard it at the WPC show a in TO And thought it was a joke at first but turned out to be a good piece
Hello people, smashing pumpkins!!! This is his voice.
i know i've heard the song before. never listened to it before tho
Better than the Miley Cryus version. Billy is a alternative rock genius.
J elsker Deg Billy Corgan. Kvinnen
Love how he spun that trash song into something so much more authentic and raw
If you don't know who this man is, your parents haven't done well by you.
Billy takes a stupid pop-hit and turns it into a Smashing Pumpkins B-side)
Stop it Billy, your name is Billy
He does not want to be stuck with the name his abusive father gave him.
Connor Fin that’s wrong
No...?
Billy is short for William, there for he is still going by the name he was given.
Yes, but his dad was the one to always call him Billy and not William.
Waiiiiit, it's William now?
MamaMittens yep. Go check out his solo album that just came out- Ogilala
yes, he need to figure out a way to hide himself after singing this crap!!
seems like it, it got me shook lmao
Apparently, yes.
Yeah it's been William for a couple years, but just about everyone still calls him Billy and he gets mad.
This proves the original isn’t as dumb as people think it is
Fucking BOSS!
Ogilala era is genius. Where can I find this badass hoodie he's wearing?
BILLY EFFIN' CORGAN! ❤️❤️❤️
ua-cam.com/video/fKn-b0K0ipE/v-deo.html
This was one of the most punk things he could have done, when you really think about it
Now that I am in my forties I shall go by my full name. Ok, Billy.
50's dude. He was born in 67
Shayne Taylor WHAAAAAAT! NO WAY. You lie. You lie! Damn! He hasn't aged so terribly.
he will always be Billy Corgan for us.
Yep, hatever rocks your boat, Billy! :)
Funny enough, he once mentioned in an interview that the name "change" was a joke and he didn't really mean it but the press picked it up and made it a bigger deal than he meant. So he kinda rolls with it.
I can't help but have Darcy in mind while listening to this... It's a shame they can't find a way to work things out.
Significantly better than the original.
Chimp Assassin i don't think that this is better, because Miley sang this with all her heart plus high notes... So yeah, original is still better.
Nice Alien my guess is you're really young.
LOVE
This was great, I miss hearing Billy Corgan.
As a fan of both Miley Cyrus and The Smashing Pumpkins, this is just wonderful. Great cover of a great song. Love it.
One of the weirdest cover choices! But still he is the man
Wow he sings better than ever.
First time i really pay attention to the lirics...billy...oh billy...yeahhh youuuu showwwed me
Smashing Pumpkins ♥
His cover of "Landslide" is pretty damn awesome.
I'm not a fan of Miley Cyrus, but funnily enough it looks like she and Billy both did covers of Landslide. ua-cam.com/video/hgg1XhkIoig/v-deo.html I've listened to the Smashing Pumpkins version about a million times, and the original by Stevie Nicks only about half a dozen when it's come on the radio.
The only good version of this song. Thank you Billy.
it's William now ;)
absentmindedprofesor this cover is great but check out James Arthur s cover of This song, it's also great xxx
Yesssss
Good cover.
The tone he has on that signature Yamaha is incredible.
amazing
Hollywood Holocaust
Billy is a GENIUS!!!
This guitar is sounding amazing
This is SO good!!
Frank Black, is that you!?
Oh that reminds me, my eggs are ready!
New Message Fuck you, bald is the most beautiful.
John-Paul Mitchell calm down chemodome
@@caidema that's putrid and disgusting, i hope ur kids get trafficked.
@ I beat them to it and sold them to the highest bidder last year
Wow Billy Corgan. The only man to make a shitty pop song sound good
not sure about that Chad ;)
ua-cam.com/video/N_LnTso4uJM/v-deo.html
this is far way better than what billy... hmmm sorry, william did! ;)
I’d suggest you listen to Local H’s cover of “Toxic”
i heard that local h cover on spotify the other day. no good.
thanks, i don't like it though :/
Chad Fleischauer please look into Bruce Springsteen
William? Fucking William?! Naw son. A goat is always gunna be a Billy.
This is horrible. He should have left it to Miley. Who is this dude anyway?
I didn't make the connection between "William Patrick Corgan" and "Billy Corgan" until I heard the voice.
Great cover! I like the original but usually payed more attention to how annoying the music video is then to fully concentrate on the song. This performance makes the song
Omg I didn't know that this fucking happened
Damn.. I remember the grunge heydays.. 90's was the real music.. Smash all the pumpkins now!!!
Din flodhest hadde du trudd at detta skulle gå igjennom? Æsj. Du er ikke like Mothman som Von Graven.
We love an alternative legend
random song choice, still good tho
sing it he has found his sweet spot
This is a really great cover. It pairs best with a light white wine (such as Pinot Grigio) and undies as white as Billy's head.
Whine as you get Billy's white head in your undies and let him Pinot your Grigio until light turns to night and you eat pears under the covers because that's great.
I didn't know I needed this until now. Amazing.
If you like this check out dustin kensrues version.
billy reunite smashing pumpkins!!!
icexplura "he sucks now" - the rest of the band.
icexplura it's currently in the works. They have been talking. Yes D'arcy too.
Pretty sure it's happening with the OGs
It will be great to see a band with attitude back in the spotlight. Not only that, but a band where there's a reason to know each member, not like these faceless bands out there whose members are unknown, as if they were nothing more than hired guns
I would rather have Melissa than Darcy.
Totally enjoyed this!
William (Billy) is iconic 💐 favorite vampire 😩👏🏻👏🏻
I love Pumpkins and this song. But no.
Corgan had the greatest line about pop music. Pop music is like porn.
Only He and Marilyn Manson can cover a song and make it better than the original
So is he not going by Billy anymore? One of the best bands of the 90's is now covering a Hannah Montana song? wtf is the world coming to?
My thoughts exactly :(
yeah, we're doomed, maybe he's preparing a justin bieber song now, who knows...
100x better than miley virus version haha love billy corgan!!! SP
And now I must go listen to Soma and Frail and Bedazzled
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ *MUSICIAN*
I was hoping he'd go hard on the chorus
Genius
They should be named smashing pumpkings
