Wildflower

"Wildflower" is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins off of their 2012 studio album, Oceania. The song was written during the original Teargarden sessions with Mark Tulin of The Electric Prunes. After Tulin died in February 2011, Corgan felt compelled to revive the tune.

According to Smallville writer, Bryan Q. Miller, he would have included “Wildflower” in the Smallville: Season 11 comic, “Guardian”, had the story been a live-action television episode. Specifically, he confirmed that the song would have started near the end of the ‘episode’ (actually Chapter 12 of the digital release), during a solemn scene on the Daily Planet rooftop between Lois Lane and Clark Kent.Twitter conversation between @kylethesuperkid and @bryanQmiller - August 2012

Wintersongs residency

The Wintersongs residency was a two-day, three-show solo acoustic run by Billy Corgan at Madame ZuZu's in February 2022. The first day included a 4:30 PM show and a 7:30 PM show, while the second day included only an evening show. The songs performed included largely Zwan and newer CYR-era material, among other various career-spanning rarities. Notably "W.P." and "I Know My Time Is Coming Round" were performed for the first time since Zwan disbanded in 2003. The only non-original song performed was "Jesus Won't You Come On By", which is based on an old traditional hymn.
Wish You Were Here

"Wish You Were Here" is a 1975 single by Pink Floyd. It was first performed live by Billy Corgan when he joined Pink Floyd on stage after inducing them into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on January 17, 1996, and again at the Roger Water's Music Heals event on October 16, 2015. Corgan then performed it occasionally during the Ogilala tour, and more recently by The Smashing Pumpkins during their 2019 tour of Europe.
In his induction speed for Pink Floyd, Corgan said the song helped him come to terms with his grandmother's cancer diagnosis when he was 17 years old, saying that it "still makes me cry, it's such a beautiful song."Billy Corgan 1996-01-17#Banter

With Ado I Do

"With Ado I Do" is the fifth song of Act I of The Smashing Pumpkins' 2023 rock opera, ATUM. The song is purposefully meant to sound "muted" and somewhat bland, as was the intention of the Shiny character in the story of ATUM. As Billy Corgan described it, "it's a pretty song, but it's not meant to be too shiny."

Without You

"Without You" is a song demo by The Smashing Pumpkins from the Adore-era. It was included on the Adore Demos II bootleg, and was later recorded with the full band during the Machina sessions.
The song is slated to appear on the Machina reissue, with Corgan saying the original master recording of the full band playing live on the floor will be used, with some overdubs for added depth. He added it is difficult to mix because it's "ostensibly a demo" that was "never designed to be released".Billy Corgan. Instagram #MachinaMixes. December 1, 2020

World War III

World War III is the third studio album by American post-hardcore band Madina Lake. The second single, "Imagineer", was produced and co-written by Billy Corgan. Longtime Smashing Pumpkins producer Bjorn Thorsrud also engineered the track.
Madina Lake are another alternative rock band from Chicago. In 2010, bassist Matthew Leone was hospitalized after intervening in a domestic violence incident involving a man beating his wife. At the time, Corgan did not personally know Leone, though Leone and his brother (who is the vocalist for Madina Lake) considered The Smashing Pumpkins their favorite band. In response to his accident, Corgan contacted Metro owner Joe Shanahan and former Pumpkins drummer Matt Walker to hear more about Leone's story. This inspired them to organize the July 27, 2010 benefit show headlined by The Smashing Pumpkins and supported by fellow Chicago band Kill Hannah. The show raised $80,000 to finance Leone's hospital bills. About a year later, once Leone had become coherent enough, he emailed Corgan thanking him. Corgan replied with what Leone described as a "profound, beautiful, powerful e-mail" which sparked a correspondence leading to their collaboration on World War III. Corgan invited Leone and his brother to Sedona, Arizona, where the Pumpkins were demoing songs for Oceania. It was there that "Imagineer" was written and recorded.
When asked about working with Corgan, Leone said it was "almost indescribable":

The album received positive reviews upon its release. AllMusic wrote that the band sounded "reinvigorated," singling out the Corgan-produced "Imagineer" as an example. IGN gave the album 9/10 stars, describing "Imagineer" as a "squall of buzzing riffs and a thicket of drums paint a perfect backdrop" for the story behind the album.

X.Y.U.

"X.Y.U." (working title "Spum") is a song from The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. It is one of the heaviest songs on the album along with "Fuck You (An Ode To No One)", "Jellybelly", "Tales of a Scorched Earth". The song was recorded liveJames Iha. Good Vibrations - TGM Magazine. December 1995 for the record with drum and vocal overdubs added later.
The title means "Ex, Why You?", perhaps implying everything ends with YOU, not the letter Z as you would expect to follow X and Y. It is also believed to be a play on the spelling of Russian obscene word "хуй" (pronounced "hu:i") that is translated as "penis".
== Background ==
The song originated from jammingBilly Corgan Instagram Q&A, October 2, 2020, so like "Silverfuck" it evolved in several forms over the years. An alternate version dubbed "X.Y.U. (Take II)" was included on the 2012 reissue of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and featured different lyrics. Another alternate version called "X.Y.U. Medley" was recorded live at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles on October 31, 1998. It bundled a variation of the song with teasers of "The Ethers Tragic", "Where Boys Fear to Tread" and "Never Say Never" (by Romeo Void). The recording was included on the 2014 reissue of Adore.
The song was deliberately recorded in a series of live takes, rather than recording and engineering parts separately as was done with many other Mellon Collie tracks.Mellon Collie reissue liner notes Billy Corgan had apparently been recovering from a cold, and "had trouble keeping my voice fresh, but the garble only added to my sense of desperation that we’d never get that ‘definitive’ take." With each take being a bit faster than the previous, he added that producer Alan Moulder would later consider the final take "the single most exciting moment he’d ever had in a studio." In the end, some bits of an earlier take were included in the final recording.
James Iha told TGM Magazine that he found the song "disturbing," describing it as the "the monster inside of the band trying to get out! … A touch of punk rock from the least punk rock band in the post-Nirvana stadium/alternative spectrum."

You'll Never Find Me

"You'll Never Find Me" is the lead single by Korn from their 2019 album, The Nothing. It was co-written by Billy Corgan.
Jonathan Davis said of the experience, "We sat in two chairs like this and he picked up an acoustic guitar and [Corgan] started playing the chord progressions while I was singing the melodies. I've never done anything like that before, and it was a really cool experience."
"He's the real deal," Corgan said in an Instagram story, writing that he "loved" working with Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis. He added that the track "feels fresh" and Korn sounds "as vicious as ever."
"You'll Never Find Me" was ranked 16th in Kerrang's ranking of The 20 greatest Korn songs.

ZERO shirt

The ZERO shirt or ZERO costume was the public persona of Billy Corgan while supporting The Smashing Pumpkins' third studio album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. He was first seen wearing the iconic shirt during at the band's appearance at the Reading Festival on August 25, 1995, and more notably the "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" music video, which was filmed on September 27, 1995. He then continued to wear the costume at nearly every performance throughout the Infinite Sadness tour, and also occasionally in inverse colors during the 20th Anniversary tour.
The shirts were very popular in the 90s and available at store outlets worldwide. In 2011, one of the four original Zero shirts was auctioned off by Corgan to benefit victims of the 2011 Japanese earthquake and tsunami, selling for around $6,500. Other artists also participated as part of the EMI family's charity auction.
Cotton reissues of the shirt have existed for some time, but on October 24, 2021, a near accurate replica made from 100% polyester was issued and quickly sold out.
== Origins ==
Zero, sharing the name with the song "Zero", is a character within the broader story of Glass and The Machines of God. It was an unfinished story by Corgan of "a rock star gone mad" named Zero, loosely based on himself, who heard the voices of God and renamed himself Glass and his band The Machines of God. The story goes on from there, but this is reasonably where the concept for the Zero shirt and costume originated, with Mellon Collie being Zero's part of the story. According to former Smashing Pumpkins Fan Club chief Laura Ann Masura, the visual design was the work of Jimmy Chamberlin.Laura Ann Masura interview with @pumpkintees. December 18, 2021 Corgan once said:
A May 2010 write-up on FeelNumb.com claimed the design for the ZERO shirt worn by Corgan wore was originally produced by the Zero Skateboards company. However this claim has been intensely disputed.https://www.reddit.com/r/SmashingPumpkins/comments/mpntkz/zero_shirt_origins/http://forums.netphoria.org/showthread.php?t=183998&page=2 Their story suggested the company had stopped making the shirts before Corgan borrowed from the brand. However, Zero Skateboards states they first formed in 1996,https://www.instagram.com/zeroskateboards/ while Corgan's first appearance in the shirt was no later than August 25, 1995. More notable publications such as the HuffPost shared the story, but explicitly stated it as FeelNumb.com reporting, thus lending no additional veracity.

Zoom

"Zoom" is an instrumental song recorded during the Mellon Collie sessions. A clip was featured in the 23-minute "Pastichio Medley" (1:57–2:17 mark) released on The Aeroplane Flies High. A full version of the song was later released on the 2012 reissue of Mellon Collie.
Though unconfirmed, the riff from "Zoom" seems likely to have been the basis for "G.L.O.W.", given the similarity.

Zowie

"Zowie" (pronounced like "zaow-ee", full name "Zowie Bowie") is a song off of Billy Corgan's second studio album, Ogilala. The song was written as a tribute to David Bowie following his death in 2016, and is named after his son. However Corgan pronounces it like "zaow-ee", just like Bowie's was originally (and often still is) pronounced in England.
In a 2017 interview with Howard Stern, Corgan explained that when wrote the opening chord sequence, it reminded him of Bowie. Through the rest of the songwriting process, Bowie "rode shotgun" with him. He considered the song "a very personal way to say thank you" to Bowie.
