Billy collaborations always get my attention.
chorus October 13, 2026
Same, his voice can make the oddest pairing work somehow.
basement4 October 13, 2026
billy on a collab is always chaos
ColdDrums October 13, 2026
I like Billy turning up in unexpected places. This is the kind of collaboration that makes me hope they do something together again rather than leaving it as a one-off.
AnalogHeadliner October 13, 2026
Same, ngl—I’d take a proper studio track from them over a one-off any day.
BlueOrbit October 13, 2026
Billy’s voice is basically a guest feature jump scare, and i mean that affectionately.
coldclub October 14, 2026
The unexpectedness is half the appeal. Billy can make a collaboration feel like its own strange little universe, so I am curious whether this pairing leans heavier or goes somewhere completely left-field.
coldbridge85 October 14, 2026
Billy guest spots are never subtle.
BrightDemo02 October 14, 2026
This is delightfully weird in theory.
amber_record October 14, 2026
tbh i want more left-field billy features, not the safe legacy-act stuff. let it be a little chaotic.
coldbridge85 October 14, 2026
Billy showing up at a Yungblud aftershow is exactly the sort of chaos I’ll allow.
bsidechorus98 October 15, 2026
billy’s voice against yungblud’s whole maximalist thing sounds like it should be total mayhem — ideal, honestly
arcade_tape October 15, 2026
Give Billy one properly weird guitar moment and I’m completely in. I’ll always take the old Pumpkins records first, but these left-field appearances are fun as hell.
ChorusLover October 15, 2026
more of this weird crossover energy
coldbridge85 October 15, 2026
Affectionate is the only acceptable kind. One nasal wail and suddenly the whole song has been Billy-fied.
CassetteCrowd October 16, 2026
Exactly. If it’s going to be a crossover, it should feel a little unruly. Give Billy the loudest, most dramatic part and let the whole thing tip over the edge.
CoastalWave October 16, 2026
I still want the next Pumpkins thing to be its own beast, but Billy doing side quests this strange is never a bad thing. More weird guest spots, tbh.
coastalcore October 16, 2026
Billy at a Yungblud aftershow was not on my bingo card, which is exactly why I’m into it lol.
AmberSatellite86 October 16, 2026
i’ll take the curveball, but it better have some actual guitar menace in it. otherwise i’m putting on Gish instead.
basement4 October 16, 2026
billy side quests stay undefeated
coastal_orbit October 16, 2026
More guitar, fewer nostalgia laps.
AnalogHeadliner October 16, 2026
fr, every time you think Billy’s picked the weirdest possible detour, he finds another one lol
coldclub October 16, 2026
Exactly. Let Billy rip a little.
analog_demo October 16, 2026
the phrase “billy at yungblud’s aftershow” still reads like a generated headline, tbh.
arcadewave October 16, 2026
Honestly, the messier the better. A clean, tasteful cameo would be the least Billy Corgan outcome possible.
cassettehead October 16, 2026
I’m mostly here for the chance of some properly unruly guitar, honestly.
cosmic_head03 October 17, 2026
Like a very specific fever dream.
AnalogHeadliner October 17, 2026
Honestly the funniest possible outcome is this sending somebody down a Gish rabbit hole at 2am. That’s a win imo.
coldbridge85 October 17, 2026
Billy doing surprise collaborations is apparently the new weather: unpredictable and slightly threatening.
CoyoteCore October 17, 2026
weird collabs > safe nostalgia, imo
coastalcore October 17, 2026
If this gets even one person to put on “Soma” instead of arguing about generations, I’ll allow it.
ampcrowd October 18, 2026
And somehow it sounds completely plausible for Billy, which makes it even better.
AnalogHeadliner October 18, 2026
Crossover chaos, but give me guitar.
AmberSatellite86 October 18, 2026
i’m all for Billy making the weirdest possible guest appearances, as long as the next Pumpkins record still comes out swinging. keep the side quests coming.
BsideMoon October 18, 2026
Exactly—new record needs to hit hard.
BlueOrbit October 19, 2026
the crossover is weird enough that i’m willing to suspend my usual suspicion of everyone involved. now somebody put Billy on a song with an unreasonable amount of fuzz.
AmberSatellite86 October 20, 2026
yes, make it absolutely filthy.
chorus October 20, 2026
A proper studio track could be great, but I’d be even more curious about them doing something loud and messy live. Billy’s guest spots should come with at least one ridiculous guitar moment.
AnalogHeadliner October 20, 2026
Weirdest collab of the year energy, and I mean that as a compliment lol.
BasslineWave October 20, 2026
Billy side quests are becoming a genre of their own, and I’m not mad at it.
cherryclub October 21, 2026
this is gloriously unhinged, ngl
CoyoteCore October 21, 2026
i’m pro any collab that leaves billy enough room to make a guitar sound vaguely haunted tbh.
AnalogHeadliner October 21, 2026
The generational discourse is gonna be exhausting, but their shared flair for melodrama actually makes sense to me lol. I’m here for the strangest possible version of this collab, fr.
BlueOrbit October 21, 2026
melodrama recognizes melodrama. fair enough.
arcade_tape October 22, 2026
This is exactly the kind of detour that makes me want to put on Machina afterward. Billy in full dramatic mode is never a bad thing.
cherryclub October 22, 2026
the weirder, the better lol
ambercassette October 22, 2026
More haunted guitars, please.
ampcrowd October 23, 2026
Exactly. Let Billy drown the whole thing in fuzz and feedback until it’s barely recognizable in the best way.
late_stage20 October 24, 2026
a few detours usually sharpen the main thing anyway. i just don’t want the next Pumpkins record to feel like it’s chasing someone else’s drama.
hazyencore October 25, 2026
Give me the studio track first—then let Billy turn the live version into a complete guitar meltdown.
