Ouch on Devi... " Here's the Devi Rocket... We won't be needing that."

Kinda cruel considering she just made him a sick custom fuzz.

i thought the same thing. i've never been a pumpkins fan anyway.

Pretty fascinating--thanks for posting. And I'm not even really much of a fan--no judgment implied, just have had my attention elsewhere.

I love how casual he is in handling these things--there are people who would pay ungodly amounts for some of that stuff--even just different iterations of the same pedal (as opposed to the actual Corgtan-buffed holy icons), and he's just casually tossin' them in the cart. I see a similar nonchalance in other videos where the big stars are coaxed to chat about their gear. It's kind've refreshing to see, actually. Reminds you that these are just tools--you grab one, see if it does what you want, and if it doesn't, hold out your hand for a different spanner. Or if you're a schlub like me, hoof it over to the toolbox and grab another. And if that doesn't work, you force it. Then it's broken and still worth a fortune if this is the Billy Corgan Garage.... I think that attitude probably is at least partially behind the Devi crack--he's got the originals that he used (along with the gits'n'amps and studio gear let's not forget) to make the toanz that inspired Devi, and it must seem a little surreal to have all that packaged up in a single box and handed back to ya.

Anyway--the way he handles those FX reminds me of how many of the most successful musicians treat their axes--and that's how these things get all dinged up and inspire the "relic"ing bizness....

I don't actually know much about BC--I've heard he can be a control freak--the size of his tool box would tend to correlate with that--but I think it's really easy to take stuff the wrong way when you're up against somebody motorvating in the grip of his/her passion.

That's a hefty collection right there. Pretty cool to see what was behind some of the sounds on my favorite albums of all time.

Well he does have the original Siamese Dream Muff for that stuff...

Cool video though.

that hand looks psoriatic

But, where's the purple rose? or whatever?

It's not like Devi has said all nice things about Mr. Corgan.
