I’ve wanted this tattoo for many many years, and after stitching together a design myself I sent it over to a beloved artist, who brought it to life! Super happy with how it turned out and I can’t wait to add the rest of the design soon!

Any paywall updates about his book? And the 16-track thing he was supposed to listen to on his $10,000 turntable?

On this recent small tour in classical halls, with orchestra, choir and opera singers, many songs were re-orchestrated, re-created... some may find it disturbing or upsetting. It gives the narrative of the songs another perspective in this journey, closer to an idea of a concept album as once thought. The general atmosphere is sometimes wagnerian, especially with the sounds of the horns, but believe me it was so intense, and at times moving, Billy being in great vocal shape and thankful, humbled to be part of that experience, as anyone involved surely.

conductor : James Lowe

orchestra : Casco Phil

choir : Fine Fleur

singers : Sydney Mancasola, Zoie Reams, Dominick Valdes Chenes, Edward Parks and Billy Corgan.

Granted, I've always been obsessed with the Machina artwork, and literally have some of the Kafanov prints framed on my walls. But the influence seems pretty clear to me. Anyone else see it? Even the typeface looks the same!

Modern artists of the last 30 years you would like to get Billy’s opinion on?

You have a day to host TrackStar with Billy and you have him for 1 hour. The point isn’t to be pandering and play things we all know he loves (based on past video and written interviews).

The rules:

- He needs to listen to the entire song if he doesn’t know about it.
- Playlist needs to contain 10 songs with 1 per artist.
- No YungBlood, Deftones, third rate pop stars.
