    Billy, let the guest talk. Especially when they are interesting like Conrad Flynn. We know you have tons of great stories about playing in front of 5,000 people or whatever. But let the guest freaking talk.

  • Fun episode! Best sibling harmony singers Pointer Sisters

    Enjoyed as I’m a fan of Heart, Nancy Wilson & Smashing Pumpkins, but .. when it comes to sibling harmonies, the best ever are the Pointer Sisters!

    Their blend of insanely tight harmonies, perfect pitch, versatility, seamless dynamic interplay, flawless timing, and tone, made their harmonies superior in complexity, and expressiveness to any before or since across all genres. Each sister could take lead or blend seamlessly in background, creating rich, evolving vocal textures, which they did mas... more

  • Surprisingly enjoyable

    I say this is surprisingly enjoyable, because I figured it would be easy for Billy Corgan to chat with fellow musicians. But I just listened to him interview Susan Olsen, and it was thoroughly engaging. She is an intelligent person who has more to talk about than being on The Brady Bunch, and he brought out a side of her and got stories that I don’t think I’ve heard before. That’s a talent that not many hosts/interviewers have.

Q: What do you think of the impact of your father's music?
He never fully recognized his own impact, which made him genuinely humble in his legacy.
Jack Osbourne | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
Q: What pops to mind for you about your experiences on The Osbournes?
In hindsight, I think of it fondly, but at the time, it was chaotic and difficult.
Patrik Mata | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

Well, I was studying to be a journalist. I wanted to be like Hunter S. Thompson. And I really dug that.
Patrik Mata | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
Q: Did it affect the way you listen to music?
Actually, it did. I'm a big believer in the outsider art and outsider artists. I think they have more to say than in most people.
