View Full Version : Poster from Madison Square Garden 7/12/96
markpregen 11-26-2007, 01:12 AM I took this picture at MSG in NYC over the weekend. The poster is hanging near one of the restaurants in an area with a bunch of posters and memorabilia from bands that have performed there. Anyway, I just thought it was cool to see some SP love, without thinking much of it, but my friend pointed out the fact that 7/12/96 was when Melvoin died. He died in the early morning hours of 7/12, so of course neither show took place (which makes it even more interesting that they have the poster hanging, if the shows didn't even happen). I didn't realize the posters featured Melvoin prominently like that.

SlingeroGuitaro 11-26-2007, 01:29 AM i've got the same poster in my bedroom. it isnt rare. i think, in fact, some company started running those after the melvoin thing happened.
1100ww 11-26-2007, 01:31 AM ^that's what i thought; i have it too. that's cool that they have it hanging up in the venue, though.

aw it's alright. i got excited when when i was like 16 cause i saw one on ebay. i paid like $35. about 2 weeks later i was at a poster shop in indianapolis and saw the same damn thing for $10.
redbreegull 11-26-2007, 01:49 AM I also have this. I didn't know it was edited though.
redbull 11-26-2007, 01:53 AM i love how nobody ever realizes that they used a siamese dream promo

damn $35 is steep, I am thinking of replacing all the posters I had and it's reading experiences like this that stop me

i knew this before i bought the poster, but it still rocks for some reason.
nofix 11-26-2007, 07:29 AM those are on ebay by the dozen.

Although that background does kind of look like the band photo in the Mellon Collie booklet

that's a real sky, you nitwit.
redbreegull 11-26-2007, 03:22 PM I actually didn't know this photo was an SD promo picture, and I always assumed it was MCIS era because Corgan's hair looks especially thin.
i_adore_adore 11-26-2007, 05:17 PM hey, Melvoin died on my 5th birthday. Isn't that WEIRD?!

shut up, you're making me feel old. I was six and a half.
ptrdln 11-26-2007, 06:51 PM i also have that poster. i had the band sign it on the machina in-store tour. i felt a little weird handing it to jimmy since it had melvoin's name across the bottom.
stripes 11-26-2007, 06:56 PM I bought that at a mall like five years ago.
skipgo 11-26-2007, 06:56 PM holy crap you guys are young. I was in my 2nd year of college when that happened.
stripes 11-26-2007, 06:58 PM You must be around 33

exactly in fact

yeah umm...i would have found something else for them to sign.

Damn you're young. I was 10 at the time.
teamneedle 11-26-2007, 08:50 PM I would like to see more then 10 people bust out arising tour posters...
and then we have something to post about....
i_adore_adore 11-26-2007, 08:51 PM Damn you're young. I was 10 at the time.
I know. It's the people like me and redbull who are keeping this band alive. When all you people are decrepit and changing each others' diapers, I'll be all young and lively and stuff.
Though... perhaps five years really isn't that big of a difference, is it? :rolleyes:
skipgo 11-26-2007, 10:53 PM don't forget i could be your mom, adore. If i'd had a kid like, the first time i got busy with someone. that is really weird.
Pretzel Logic 11-26-2007, 11:05 PM There is a poster in this thread who has to go.
Pretzel Logic 11-26-2007, 11:09 PM just one?
sorry. several
markpregen 11-27-2007, 01:22 AM Well, the poster WAS hanging in Madison Square Garden. Very lame that they would hang a fake one though, sorry for any confusion. Thanks for the info.
I guess I should have known when their Pearl Jam plaque just consisted of the box/discs from the "Live at the Garden" DVD, probably purchased from one of the guys selling bootleg movies outside the Garden.
avsfan7733 11-27-2007, 02:47 AM i don't understand how the poster is "fake" or "edited". Sure it was mass produced beyond all belief, but how is it fake?

I consider it a decent difference at our ages. You never got to live in the 80's. Also where as you would just be getting your permit/license entering high school, I am nearing the end of college and can legally enter bars.
i_adore_adore 11-27-2007, 09:52 PM You were 3 at the beginning of 1990. You don't "live" when you're three. You probably don't even remember anything that happened. Or much of anything. So you're right... I really didn't get to live in the '80s. At least I know where to put the apostrophe.
(I'm not serious at all in this post... well, yes I am. But I don't really care how old any of you people are)
stripes 11-27-2007, 10:42 PM You never got to live in the 80's.

sh sh shayne 11-27-2007, 10:54 PM I remember stuff from the early 90's. Member harry and the hendersons? Sasqautch was a pimp.
spidrr 11-27-2007, 11:25 PM I saw this same poster in MSG a few weeks ago at a Knicks game. My gf pointed it out. I actually had tickets to see the 7/12 show...it was then rescheduled to 9/18 or something like that. I dont remember.
i would have been 4 days shy of 13..
damn i didnt realize there were any real pumpkins fans around who were less than 20 years old
redbull 11-28-2007, 12:30 PM It's the people like me and redbull who are keeping this band alive.
I hate this band
redbull 11-28-2007, 01:17 PM i would have taken your ticket to that bands show in that case.
TICKETSTUBS>
KEKEKEKEKE
It's the people like me and redbull who are keeping this band alive.I hate this band
isn't that cute how redbull now has a friend :love:
redbull 11-28-2007, 01:19 PM yeah i'm gonna tie her up in my basement
its not pedophilia if i'm not 18 right?
have fun while you can
i'm only allowed to dream about it now.....
spidrr 11-28-2007, 01:51 PM thats a pretty crucial ticket stub. do you still have it?
yah ive got them somewhere. For some reason I think they are actually full tickets and not stubs because I ended up getting different tickets to the same show. Either that or ticketmaster reprinted new tickets with the rescheduled date...but that wouldnt be smart.
i_adore_adore 11-28-2007, 05:24 PM yeah i'm gonna tie her up in my basement
its not pedophilia if i'm not 18 right?
Something tells me I could probably kick your butt. Mayday would help me.
spidrr 11-28-2007, 05:42 PM thats awesome. scan it. or if you don't care, you should throw it on ebay to see what kind of loot you can get from it
yah ill see if I can dig em up
redbull 11-28-2007, 06:26 PM how big a boy are yA?

skipgo 11-28-2007, 06:36 PM Something tells me I could probably kick your butt. Mayday would help me.
i've always pictured redbull as a burly dude who can take anyone out. For some reason.
waltermcphilp 11-28-2007, 06:40 PM except for me, right? :love:
skipgo 11-28-2007, 06:44 PM slingeroguitaro is a burly football dude.
i_adore_adore 11-28-2007, 06:59 PM I've pictured redbull as avril. that's about it.
redbull 11-28-2007, 07:06 PM redbull at right, circa 2005

i_adore_adore 11-28-2007, 07:51 PM maybe because of your age, or posting style, i've pictured you as really petite.
Well, I'm not a fatty... or a giant.
i_adore_adore 11-28-2007, 09:01 PM I don't look like any of those people.
