  • Al Jourgensen | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

    Al Jourgensen | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
    May 7 2025
    Billy Corgan sits down with musical trailblazer Al Jourgensen for an unvarnished dive into four decades of boundary‑pushing music. Jourgensen walks through Wax Trax’s cash‑on‑the‑table sessions, the house‑mix side hustles at Chicago Trax, he unpacks leaving Arista via bankruptcy, reclaiming control on Twitch, and bringing Paul Barker back for what he insists will be Ministry’s final record and tour; the pair compare production habits and trade stories about Timothy Leary’s psychedelic “experiments,” psilocybin‑fueled hangs with Gary Numan, and the grind of touring versus the lure of studio life; they trace the influence of the Chicago scene on countless other artists, and debate writing politics that outlast news cycles; to wrestle with whether creativity comes from a universal signal or something like a digital matrix. https://www.youtube.com/@BillyCorganTMO

    Carnie Wilson | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
    Apr 30 2025
    In this episode, Billy Corgan sits down with Carnie Wilson for a frank, wide-ranging conversation that moves from childhood memories of blasting the family stereo with the Carpenters and Elton John to what it was really like growing up amid the Beach Boys’ orbit—falling asleep under control-room consoles while her dad and uncles spun out other-worldly harmonies. Carnie explains how that whirlwind of studio sessions, surfboard logos and late-night vocal stacks shaped her own ear, why she still relies on co-writers, and how Glen Ballard helped transform teenage harmony sessions into multi-platinum hits like “Hold On.” She opens up about ADD, body-image pressures, industry politics, family chaos—including her near-tragic rescue of sister Wendy—and the complex creative bond she shares with her father Brian Wilson. https://www.youtube.com/@BillyCorganTMO

  • Dean and Robert DeLeo | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

    Dean and Robert DeLeo | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan
    Apr 23 2025
    Billy Corgan sits down with Stone Temple Pilots’ Robert and Dean DeLeo for a frank, fast‑moving sweep across three decades of rock—scraping video budgets in the “last‑of‑the‑Mohicans” label era, MTV premieres, weathering addictions, lineup shocks, and even a near‑fatal on‑stage heart attack. Early rivalry dissolves into respect as Corgan applauds the brothers’ “guitar‑and‑bass telepathy,” the distinctly Americana road‑trip vibe woven through STP’s catalog, and Brendan O’Brien’s whirlwind sessions that bottled it all. Together they savor Scott Weiland’s genre‑hopping voice, honor Chester Bennington and Jeff Gutt, and admit that—older and battle‑scarred, their true fuel is the next left‑turn riff and the moment a crowd sings back every word.
