These interviews should be added to library of Congress.

Chamberlin's just magical. 🪄

I could listen to this drumming all day long.

I see a lot of people hate on Billy for being arrogant, but listen to what he's saying there. There's an intelligence there that you don't get from a lot of these other bands from his era. You would think people would respect the amount of thought he put into it and the independence he showed making it the way he wanted. I know I respect it.

2:00 “we just wanted to be Boston and Queen”… WE LOVE YOU BILLY 🎉 🎉🎉

Man, the riff and tone of Cherub Rock, is legendary.

Fucking love Cherub Rock. Probably the fault of 80% of my tinnitus. JC the best and looking so good!

The Smashing Pumpkins have been my favorite band since late 94' when I was 12yrs old. My friend's older brother was being deployed overseas and came in the house with a giant box of cassette tapes one day and plopped them on the floor in front of us. Bands in the box included Weezer, Pearl Jam, AiC, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, NIN, Green Day, many other bands and of course The Smashing Pumpkins. We immediately put the Siamese Dream album into the player because we thought the album cover was funny. Life changing moment. Everyone should go watch these full interviews, they're great. All of Rick's interviews are great. Have a good weekend everyone.

I would watch 1000 hours of content talking about this record. What an album ❤

As a Gen Xer, I feel totally and completely spoiled. Christ, we had no idea how good we had it being born into such an incredible era of rock and then coming of age into shoegaze, and moving into late adolescence and early adulthood in alternative, grunge, and indie.

Jimmy Chamberlain comparing the one-handed hits to downpicking is a brilliant analogy. I could tell Rick got genuinely excited in that moment.

His vocals were really fantastic on this album as well as how it was captured and produced 🔥

This type of detail, power, nuance, consistency, inconsistency/feel, variety, and conversationality is exactly why Jimmy Chamberlin is the most natural, diverse, exquisite, subtle, powerful, improvisational, inspirationtional, and legendary drummer ever. Yes. Ever.

Jimmy Chamberlin is one of my favorite drummer's. To me he was a huge part of the Pumpkins sound. Great interview Rick Thank You.

Jimmy Chamberlin is my all time favourite drummer. And I love listening to him talk about his drumming.

These interviews are so important!

6:59 - “It feels like people… humans playing music.” Thank you VERY VERY MUCH Butch Vig!

There’s a mutual respect between Rick and the artists that adds a level of authenticity to these interviews I love

It's so fantastic that you have enough material to put these videos together.

I love the sound of this song. It rocks so well in a mostly upbeat way. I wish there were a lot more like it.

I've never missed a flight when Cherub Rock is the wake-up call

Got to see the Pumpkins last summer with STP opening, such amazing live bands!

Jimmy is such a powerhouse. The drums on this song always amazed me what an absolute road roller.

God damn. 30 years later, he remembers the way Butch wanted him to play it. What a beast.

Butch sheds light on something only a songwriter will get, that moment where you play something for someone outside the process and as you’re playing it you suddenly have this moment of clarity where something you’ve heard a thousand times takes on a new light because you’re seeing it through the listeners eyes for the first time and you realize this isn’t good enough

The whole interview is epic.

I love listening to him cause he’s not just a band guy. Guy is super smart, great with business, it’s interesting to hear his expertise/business/creative mindset.

Any time you get a chance to interview Corgan is time well spent..the man is a genius and created some of the most important music of the 90s.

Been hoping for these mashups of videos. Awesome stuff

“I’m goin out like Tom Shultz not like Kurt” 😂😂😂

We love you beato

Billy and Jimmy are 2 of the best ever to do it. Just amazing ❤

Just subscribed, love your stuff Rick. I'm not a musician but love music and the process behind the scenes stuff. Thank you!

Love Cherub Rock, what a great start to the album. Whenever I think of that I album it just reminds me of how much I loved all the guitar layering, felt like a huge wall of guitar

We are going to see Smashing Pumpkins live with Green Day in Atlanta this summer. Can’t wait!!!

Chamberlain plays the vocal line in his drummer, it's nuts.

Rick, these episodes are amazing. I wish I was some million, billion, trillionaire so that I could just support you in making your shows. Thank you for all you put out man. 🤘

Just subscribed, Love you rick, keep up the great work man, you deserve all the recognition in the world.

I could hear the Cherub Rock riff perfectly with Jimmy's drumming.

these interviews got me into the band again.

Brilliant album!

Hearing Jimmy's version and ultimately the final version of the song really demonstrates why he's an incredible drummer. It's not just that he's a great drummer stylistically and holds down the rhythm of the song but emphasizes he the dynamics of everything else in the song along with it. It shows that it's a conscious decision to do that when comparing the initial beat to what he felt it should be.

Drummers are underrated!

My favorite song of theirs, it's solid gold.

I have always loved those first albums

Such an awesome f'n band! Love your channels RB!

Just love what you do. Keep it up.

Be cool to have all 3 Butch,Jimmy,Billy all interviewed together at the same time.

Cool, thanks Rick.

8:10 Holy sh*t ! That's a seriously productive six months :0

Awesome band.. Love the Siamese Dream cd.. Glad i have seen them live in Biloxi,Ms.

Incredible song

Perfect analogy, I was also thinking of Hetfields downstrokes before they said it! Hah!

All (positive) comments in this interview are so spot on! Beautiful work Beato 👍🇦🇺

Now i need to go and listen to the track.

When I started learning guitar I picked up the Siamese Dream tab book.. so many great tunes to learn there. After the obvious diasrm, I tackled Soma.. and that one till this day is one of my favorites.. I guess I'm kinda biased haha..

Yeah, i remember hearing Disarm on the radio circa '93-'94 and it felt different to other songs.

Love your channel! Siamese Dream is one of the greatest rock albums of all time IMO. Even Pisces Iscariot (b-sides) was amazing. They were literally shitting amazing songs during this time. I miss rock music. Hope you share more from this interview.

Siva is a monster and I love Jimmy's snare stuff

Damn Rick what a success!

That Yamaha kit is AMAZING!

Listen to that ghost note stuff Chamberlin performed. My goodness.

I remember getting Siamese Dream when it dropped and I immediately loved how different it was.

Siamese Dreams is a double cd and I played the grooves (or whatever a cd has) off it for months. It was so different than the other rock music at the time.

Cherub Rock is freaking phenomenal!!! That whole album was the story if my 20s

I'm not a fan of his voice but as musicians they are undeniably good.

🎼🤟♥️♥️♥️🤟🎼 Looove The Smashing Pumpkins

I think the answer to your last question at the end was that rock music was riding an incredibly exciting wave at that moment and EVERYONE I knew was into it. Some preferred one band, some another, but when my friends and I first heard "Cherub Rock" it was instantly like "WOW!!!". Compared to Gish, it was like a jackhammer to the skull but still so melodic and well composed. That's why Butch had those back to back massive records. The wave was moving, the vibe was happening, the SONGS were great, and you couldn't help but be into it.

Love all Smashing Pumpkins, but for me Gish is on another level. IMO one of the greatest albums ever. Would love to see what would’ve happened if they kept going down the “psychedelic jam band“ phase for a while.

my ole high school buddy JC . Trust me. We knew in the mid 80s he had it.

My favorite sp song❤

Soundtrack of my life

Chamberlin is just so freakin incredible. Love him and Greg Gilmore.

there's that "Billy charm" we all love!

What a great drummer

I could listen to jimmy groove all day.

Jimmy is a genius. Plain & simple.

JC awesome talent

Tremendous video. Would love for you all to get together with Flood and discuss MCIS someday

I can't get enough Jimmy Chamberlin.

SNAIL will always be my fav ❤

This video makes me smile like it was 1993 again

Im not a drummer, but I've played in bands for almost 50 years, & I can't recall ever hearing a drummer who had cymbals with such distinctive sounds from each other🤔..very melodic sounding..well, when Jimmy plays them anyway👍

4:48 Good lord, i have fought, pleaded and over explained this a million times

As a 90s kid I loved this record. Pretty much all music media were up there own asses about what music was supposed to be, but the people who actually listen to music knew this was good.

The JC video is a master class in music

Looking trim Mr Beato 🫡

Billy is right, we bought and listened to Siamese Dream because is WAS different and it was a great rock and roll record

That drumming....transcendent....

I appreciate hindsight I guess. The moment means so much more. Not being critical of anyone but myself. We had more in the tank had we stuck it out.

The Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band. Growing up, it was Nirvana, but I’ve grown to enjoy the Pumpkins so much more. They were on fire for those first three albums in that ‘90s stretch that their B-sides could’ve been hits. They were that good. Unfortunately, Billy has said he will never use that ‘90s sound again as he’s more of an artist pushing the boundaries, challenging himself like he has for the past 20+ years, but still, great band.

Wooohoohohooo heaven let your light shine down ...

I think at Greenwich, they set the Atomic Clock by Jimmy.... and Topper Headon. Yeah.

Live albums are the most interesting because they're not overengineered and the musicians paint the songs how they want to.

Billy's musical background growing up is "Classic Rock", correct, so it make sense that the influence of Boston or Queen would show up in their production values.

Nice job. It sounds like my dynacord add one. Also ministry twitch album

acoustic cherub rock is awesome. i love Siamese Dream but Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness double album is for me the pinnacle of rock, up there with The Beatles, Radiohead, & Zeppelin’s best

Brrrrrrrriliant.

❤❤

Jimmy Chamberlain is a phenomenal drummer.
