I saw Billy at his teashop on his Birthday / st Patricks day and he said hes working on new pumpkins music thats like the ole school stuff and heavy guitar work.
Are you saying his old stuff is better than his new stuff? 😉 I had to listen to him play 20 minutes of death-metal-thrash-crap, because he had a hissy fit over the audience telling him that, once … lol
Why would they hire someone who plays all the riffs wrong on purpose? Oh yeah, to make people talk about it, that's a marketing move too. He better stick to fingerpicking.
ernie ball mammoths in C# are same tension as standard tuning with 10s. won't sound exactly the same as a longer guitar but i prefer it to standard and works with more or less any guitar. i play clean pop/jazz kind of stuff on it, but i'm sure it would be good for heavier things too. still thinner strings than an acoustic. easy to switch back and forth whenever you change strings. i'd try that out first if you're interested in a longer-scale guitar but are having trouble finding one to demo
Dope! I love all of Billy's signature model guitars. A little concerned about his hands though. It looks like his right hand is white and his left hand is red.
I saw Billy at his tea shop that they are sitting on St Patrick's day and he said they are working on another album. He also told me they are planning to release Machina 1+2 together soon.
@@pattonPwr Between 2014 and 2024 we've had 1. Monuments To An Elegy - 9 tracks 2. Shiny And Oh So Bright - 8 tracks 3. Cyr - 20 tracks 4. ATUM - 33 tracks Plus 2 solo Corgan albums. 17 + 11 Tracks = 28. Plus god knows how many actual songs were WRITTEN for those albums and never used. I think they wrote around 80 for ATUM. WPC must write around 50 songs a year.
@@DavidOakesMusic yeah I agree and I’m a massive SP fan since 1992 but I tend to not care that much for the last 3 albums. They need to do a good heavy record again and change the production and sound a little bit… quality over quantity.
I’d love to talk about Billy about metal. I know he’s always talked about sabbath and stuff but I’d love to hear what doom bands and other extreme alt bands he’s into
He's a big fan of Pantera, Slayer, Metallica, and Sabbath being his favorote..not exactly too extreme, but he has always been a metal head if that counts.
Why can’t the hipsters use high gain amps to replicate records made on high gain amps. I mean seriously this sounds dreadful & not only undermines the product. It also undermines the idea that CME employ people who actually know their stuff. It reminds me of the time in the mid noughties a Max Les Paul appeared in Denmark St and they sold it for about 1/4 of its value as their hipster staff were unaware of its legacy. 🙄
@@thestuffmikedoes2309 you mean to tell me and the rest of everyone else watching this video that you ACTUALLY think that opening riff sounds good?! i haven't listened to a lick of SRV in my life, but i have been listening to that riff since the single was first released. and that riff sounds awful--CME can do waaaaay better. but maybe they can't. it doesn't take a corksniffer to tell when a guitar sound is bad. it just takes someone with a functional set of ears. in time, you too can develop the ability to hear actual things.
Oh Billy... still trying to "piss all over" Radiohead after all these years. As if Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke don't use alternate tunings or embrace modern technology in music.
0:10 I feel like I'm living in crazy land because that guitar tone sounds awful yet everyone else is saying how awesome it is. No. That's not a good guitar tone.
Most popular modern guitar players I see these days usually use a custom/signature guitar. Tosin Abasi, Yvette Young, Thundercat, St. Vincent, Matt Pike, Tim Henson. This is not unusual or sinister at all.
0:20 Dude comes in 2 bars early with the slide … then starts playing pseudo-Sex Type Thing. I’m guessing he’s not the Pumpkins’ new guitarist? lol Also, the tone you played Everlasting in was trash. Sounded like you were plugged into a cardboard box. Not sure if it was that poor old Triangle Muff’s fault, or not … Did your manager OK this crap, Billy?! Fortunately, the rest sounded at least decent.
@@toddgibson6817 Many wouldn’t care, ‘cause they wouldn’t know what they are/aren’t hearing anyway. I’m not crying; for some reason, it just never ceases to amaze me how little effort people put into the things they’re doing.
I don’t disagree with you at all. But I laughed out loud when wrestling was listed- and I laughed even harder when I realized it was higher on the list than authoritarian politics!
I mean, he's trying to be Tom DeLonge, Jim Crockett Jr. and Tom Morello all at once there to be fair lol Cobain would've cackled had he seen the grandma Corgan has become
