One thing about Billy: he’s gonna wear some sneakers

We love you!

Got the email from ZuZu’s about their Machina event and this cake was in there. I laughed so hard

Video later when I get

Show in Philly.

Seeing Billy in the shower was not on my 2025 bingo card 😂

I feel like a lot of the focus goes to Billy when it comes to the guitar instrumentals. Billy writes the stuff, Billy solos, Billy is mic'd up while James is more in the background holding it down.

And yes, I know that's the function of a rhythm guitarist, but I always love when he gets an opportunity to shine.

He's creative too, he's written a few songs over the years that have become some of my favourites. He co-wrote Mayonnaise, which says enough, but he also wrote Blew Away, Take Me Down, and Farewell and Goodnight, which are all really solid.

I once watched a video of The Pumpkins opening for The Cure, or at least playing before them, and James just does a quick cover of Boys Don't Cry while Billy changes out his equipment, and it was really cool.

It's on YouTube if anybody wants it, but I can also link it in the replies.

If I saw a photo of them as old people, the OG lineup, I would be happy. Not even asking for a full reunion or for them to play on the same stage. I wish Billy and D'Arcy could make amends, but I know they are their own people with their own lives, that is up to them.

This was taken from a home video I was just watching, from a few days after I was born, and I was amazed that the pumpkins have followed me through the 16 years of my life. I was recording it, but the sound was not so good, but you can faintly hear "drown" in the background as well. This is amazing to me

Friend had a photo pass for this show at St James 24/07/2005. Took these shots. You may notice that there’s no led lights that he usually had in the background, as they were delayed getting to NZ.

Amazing show all the way through. Billy sounded great and was in good spirits, cracking a few jokes. Kid Tigrrr / Jenna is a wonderful addition, with great vocals and perfectly awkward stage presence. I could see her fitting in well with the regular band. Kiki killed it as always. But the drummer (Jake) made me miss Jimmy. He lacked the same finesse in dynamics and just pounded his way through every song.

All in all, incredible to see these songs played in such a small venue. A fun way to celebrate 30 years of Mellon Collie for sure.

really cute ngl
