‘Gotlar don’t have sex – we just look at the Black Sun’: Billy Corgan’s honest playlist | Smashing Pumpkins

The first single I bought
Even if I don’t know who Beatles is, Glendale Heights loves you for 25 cents in a garage sales in Illinois. I just liked how they looked at the cover, half of their faces in the shade.

The song that made me cry
I was lucky enough to play, if you were here in the Pink Floyd Honor Hall and with Roger Waters. He talks to me in a way that a few songs do. It is difficult to describe the pleasure of playing with them.

The song I made in Karaoke
The last song I made in Karaoke was zero by breaking the pumpkins. I thought it would be funny to sing my own song, but the longer it took, the more I have done it on the stage in front of 50,000 people, the more people thought it was funny.

The song I can’t listen to anymore
My father was a musician, so I sank in music and when I was a child, I had very strong musical views. I want you with my baby-a Bread reminds me that you want to get stuck in the back seat of a car in the 70s, hate the yacht rock and kill everyone, because I wanted to listen to the Queen and Elton John instead.

The song that I know in an irreplaceable way for every lyric
I’m not a lyrical person. My wife scares me because every lyrical knows. I sit there with mystery while I was singing by Elton John’s faces and a little dancer to stay with me. Now my daughter has the same gift: she will sing to every song.

The best song to be played at a party
I really don’t go to parties. If I do it, I usually be horrified by what they play. My father played in dance groups in the 80s, so he played things like Kool & Gang’s celebration and hated them. I had to inherit the same hatred.

My secretly liked song
When I heard Katy Perry’s Roar in the market, I think: “This is a good song.” We were at a party and Katy and her husband misunderstood my wife for a nanny, because they were watching all the children and they were fishing for a nanny.

Best song to have sex
We don’t have sex in the world of Goth. We look at the black sun through a black window.

The song that changes my life
Metallica by Black to Black showed me the power of music as a young man passed through difficult times. When you really fall, a song can really save your life.

The song that lifted me in the morning
One of Bach’s choir pieces is like the nun Das Heil und Die Kraft, BWV 50. Youtube He lived in the 50s by the Great Canadian pianist Glenn Gould.

The song I want to playEd at my funeral
Probably after just a kind of death, I would choose one of myself to make a painful point: “You should have paid more attention to me when I was here.” It would be a good one by Smashing Pumpkins from the Adore album to Sheila, if you are sitting there, the loss is mourning.
