On this Jeff Schroeder interview, Jeff discusses his new album ‘Metanoia’ and his decision to leave the Smashing Pumpkins. The album is a departure from his previous work and represents a new era in his musical journey. Jeff reflects on the challenges of leaving a successful band and the process of redefining his identity as a musician, and as a person. He emphasizes the importance of letting go of ego attachments and embracing new opportunities, the importance of being present and enjoying life, the role of passion in your career, the significance of finding your own sound amidst the vast array of gear options available. Jeff shares his interest in mysticism and spirituality, how it has influenced his music and life, the attraction of different cultural philosophies and theologies, the appeal of ambient music, and the process of creating Jeff’s new record. Jeff shares his experience of working with friends and the joy of creating something from start to finish, Jeff’s extensive guitar collection and his approach to production. LOADS of cool stuff here!

Jeff’s most well-known as the guitarist for the Smashing Pumpkins. He initially took James Iha’s place and was with the band from 2007 to his amicable departure in October 2023. He recorded five studio albums with the band and after bandleader Billy Corgan, and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, Jeff was the third-longest-serving member of the group. Jeff’s got a new album out, called Metanoia… and today we’re going to talk about the new record, and find out why he left the Smashing Pumpkins. As a side note, Jeff’s one of THE most intelligent guests I’ve had on the show – very bright guy who’s incredibly well-read
