Summary

Billy Corgan is with us today to talk about the upcoming Smashing Pumpkins "Rats in a Cage" tour happening this fall to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their landmark double LP, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. We go into the history of the album with Billy, plus his experience working with Flood, saying goodbye (recently) to Zero, the effect of success on his songwriting in that era and many, many other topics.
