yea, i watched it on youtube. i like the part where billy was talking about how he had to play the other instruments because producers said that billy and jimmy were the only good musicians and then james and darcy were okay with it until it got out.

That was VERY interesting.

Another highlight (so far) is the last minute of the forth part, talking about how he has to somehow prove that what was so good the first time around wasn't a fluke.

i agree, that part was very interesting. i liked the whole thing.

thier conversations in the car and when they were jamming were awesome. i loved hearing about uli seeing jimi hendrix there. the whole show was great.

I finally watched it and was actually surprised. It was pretty good. It still feels a bit, stale...for lack of a better word. Its sounds like Uli is interviewing Billy with questions he has already thought out, and a few times Billy's answers seem to fly over his head. Still very cool.

I like how Uli refers to his band as the "Scorps!"

haha, yea, that did make me laugh.

Maybe it's just the way he speaks/talks, and the way he thinks about what to talk about, being German (so I've heard?)

Not being racist or anything, just pointing out that different races usually have a different faux pas way of conversing, don't they?

Hey, that was pretty cool actually. Although, I find it quite funny how almost every conversation ends up with Billy moaning about the music industry.

so true!!! haha

yes, but i like it when billy is talking about the cell phones, and lamenting about them, uli says, i just got a new one, and the sound is great.

talk about coming from different worlds.
I don't think Uli understood much of what Billy was talking about, and that is probably because of the the total contrast experiences they have had over the years playing/performing. I liked how Billy talked about how James and D'arcy and the way they couldn't play, and how he had to fill in for them, and how he wanted to be spoiled now, and that he never was as a kid, it was honest, and real. At times, Billy seemed utterly bored.

I think he just got kind of pissed of when Uli was trying to psychoanalyse him lol like at the table, when Billy cut him off and was all like "im hungry" or something.

"Not being racist or anything, just pointing out that different races usually have a different faux pas way of conversing, don't they?"


As far as I can tell, the people of the world belong to one race, and that's the human race. I don't think it's a racial thing to have different ways of conversing, more so I think it's a cultural thing.

[My own opinion]

hahahaha
yes psychoanalyze him, like the 'gemini mind' and Billy says, "I'm pisces."
hahahaha
Not even Uli can pigeon hole the Corgan mind.

Personally, I think Billy is far more talented than Uli or any of the guitarists Billy mentioned as admiring. This is not saying Uli, or any of the guitarists he mentioned aren't talented though. It's just Billy is so layered, truly, a multi faceted artist, that no one could ever know by just performances, interviews or the persona the media portrays.

Ahhh, that's what I meant. I just couldn't find the right words without sounding weird.

I have the Robot Guitar. I have number 2275 out of 4000.

Hmmm... who's got number one?

More importantly, whos got number 666?
