Back in October of last year, Billy Corgan claimed he had seen a shapeshifter during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show. It wasn’t him getting in the Halloween spirit either — Corgan was dead serious, saying, ” I saw a transformation that I can’t explain…I was not [on drugs], I was totally sober.”
Now, Corgan returned to Stern’s show on Tuesday (June 12) to double down on the claims with his Smashing Pumpkins bandmates in tow. When asked by the host about the otherworldly experience again, Corgan said, “I know it happened. In fact, it happened twice.”
“I will say, since we’re on radio, that the story is even more fantastical than you think,” Corgan continued before indicating that the story might be a better one to tell off the air.

When pressed by Stern for more detail, Corgan said, “The person was naked.”
“A man?” Stern asked.
“A person was naked,” Corgan responded.
Stern then asked, “Are you saying it was a lover who shapeshifted,” to which Corgan replied, “I can no longer discuss this.”

Awesome post our Band will have to cover a Smashing Pumpkins tune! Hey Wes, Have you watched this Vid? This guy who makes these Vids may be an Awesome Guest to get another view on whats up we have seen brief clips of the stuff he covers but thought he was nutty but this one is quite informative on what he covers. He doesn’t Aware of what your channel covers that these creatures are interacting with man daily and bet he would get a kick out of having you on his show to. Would that be Awesome or what! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zz8_MxcnzY

Billy Corgan – a very real person. I like him. Do NOT like Howard though.

Why the dislike toward Howard m99? I find him extremely funny and entertaining.

Cool story…
If anyone cares, here is the best Smashing Pumpkins song of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE0poF2Gg5k
It’s the 9th track from the their album “Siamese Dream” – which is a stunningly beautiful, exceptional recording and easily one of my top 5 favorite “rock” records of all time.

(Corgan was rumored to be such a control freak and soo obsessive about this record that he wrote and played ALL instruments on this record during it’s recording – turns out it was a great decision b/c the record is very, very special)
