View Full Version : BC signing autographs at NAMM in 6 minutes
luciddream33 01-19-2008, 02:53 PM A friend of mine just called from the NAMM show at the Anaheim convention center and said that Billy's going to be signing autographs at one this afternoon. My friend doesn't have access to the show so BC is in some free hall. He said the line is very long.
Just thought I'd share for those of you who want to know where BC is every waking moment of his life!
hm i have been at the NAMBLA show all day and have not seen hide nor hair of him but will keep my eyes peeled thanks
edit: ahh i misread, well..... i wonder with whom he is there, maybe the moog people?
1100ww 01-19-2008, 03:11 PM Hide nor hair! :)
suncrashesdown 01-19-2008, 03:12 PM My dad's at NAMM right now, lucky fucker.
luciddream33 01-19-2008, 03:14 PM My buddy just called back with more info...
Corgan is at a Fender booth signing autographs and there's a huge crowd to see him. There is a video crew taping and talking to the people in line and you now need a pass to get into the area where BC is signing.
Yamaha is a huge part of the NAMM show and they have their own hall from what I've been told. I wonder if JC is there as well...
luciddream33 01-19-2008, 03:16 PM My dad's at NAMM right now, lucky fucker.
Tell your Dad that if he'll grab BC's autograph for me I'll get him and two of his friends into Disneyland while he's in town.
suncrashesdown 01-19-2008, 03:27 PM He lives in LA already and hates Disneyland, but I called him and let him know he should stop anyone who is 40 and bald and ask for their autograph
emotionalfriend 01-19-2008, 04:11 PM my dad was in Nam
Teej212 01-19-2008, 06:27 PM mky dad is there now!!!! holy shit. i need to call him!!! crashing sun, what does your dad do for the music industry?

He designs keyboards for some Korean company. He didn't see Corgan anywhere hanging out, BTW. I should have told him the big autograph line was for Keith Emerson or something... he would have totally waited for that
Professor Fox 01-19-2008, 09:16 PM This looks freaking sweet....

smashapumpkin 01-20-2008, 05:32 AM ^ good find
SlingeroGuitaro 01-20-2008, 05:36 AM that video is pretty pointless, they keep talking about 'NEW AND IMPROVED AMERICAN STRATOCAST0RZ!!!'
but dont mention any of the changes. i realize it was discussed at the show, but to put that on their website is kind of lacking.

skipgo 01-21-2008, 08:05 PM that harmony central discussion almost sounds like a netphoria thread, what with all the making fun of bill.
skipgo 01-21-2008, 08:07 PM is the mistle on that forum the same one here? because he said this:
"even though i don't understand wtf he's thinking with sp2 if i met him like that i'm still pretty sure i'd just drop to my knees and take his dick in my mouth"
and that was pretty funny.
Teej212 01-21-2008, 08:08 PM he is gonna be a fender signature series guitar???? sweet! i am gonna get that once i get enough money!!!!!
threetwooneZERO 01-21-2008, 08:12 PM look at his big fancy water bottle...man he's a douche
1100ww 01-21-2008, 08:12 PM Is that Jeff at the very end (from 5:34 on)....? Dude in a white shirt with dark hair, kinda moves in and out of view. On the very right of the screen.
1100ww 01-21-2008, 08:13 PM Also, what the hell was that woman showing him on her cell phone, + exchanging contact info? Couldn't hear what they were talking about.

whoa i just watched that video; the siamese dream girl's mom! how 'bout that.
she was saying that her daughter was on the cover of sd, and that she's 21 now. he told her about the guy who was looking for them for the article. (the guy that posted here i assume)
1100ww 01-21-2008, 08:19 PM Figured that's what it was.
smashapumpkin 01-21-2008, 08:20 PM billy is still cool
i_adore_adore 01-21-2008, 08:21 PM Billy seemed to be in high spirits :)
smashapumpkin 01-21-2008, 08:23 PM hey that was jeff
skipgo 01-21-2008, 08:25 PM i want a corgan signature guitar...
flyfire 01-21-2008, 08:28 PM so long as it's striped
skipgo 01-21-2008, 08:29 PM i wonder when we'll find out more about that? It's interesting timing for me, because i was looking at a dave grohl guitar recently and thinking how it would be cool if billy had one.
flyfire 01-21-2008, 08:33 PM in all seriousness he should have one
smashapumpkin 01-21-2008, 08:33 PM i liked the tfe guitar
i_adore_adore 01-21-2008, 08:34 PM And then he should give me one.
ciGarski 01-21-2008, 09:17 PM look at his big fancy water bottle...man he's a douche
other people in his posse had the same kind. i think its just what they give him. he was drinking ice mountain when i saw him.
and i wondered if she was talking about the siamese dream girls. i heard him say something about the rollingstones or whatever and that was it. crazy if thats what that was about. i was wondering why no one ever got back to them about that.
skipgo 01-21-2008, 09:23 PM i think he said something about getting her email from her mom so they can get in touch with her and put her on the website. Or something like that.
BlissedandGone2 01-21-2008, 11:52 PM hi skipgo how are you?

sadly, i havent been well. and this thread isnt really helping much :-p
loser2d 01-22-2008, 03:06 AM How expensive is voss?
Sarcastic Smile 01-22-2008, 05:54 AM How expensive is voss?
It depends on where you get it, at the store it's not too bad for it's size same as Fiji, Sole, Saratoga, Aqua Pana(pelligrino) etc.. At clubs they jack the prices up so much.. normally it varies from $6-$10 depending on the blub, well in Boston anyway.. I am sure it's similar other places. It's good water though.. Norwegian
ciGarski 01-22-2008, 11:20 AM i think corgan requests fiji on his rider.

crazy, im way curious to see what those girls look like
xezton 01-22-2008, 11:42 AM i want a corgan signature guitar...
Me too. :( But it would be cooler to have a Xezton signature guitar...
It would also be cooler to shake his hand...

Me too. How weird that she just popped up out of nowhere to give him this news.
ciGarski 01-22-2008, 11:44 AM its weird because just saturday i was reading a wiki about something pumpkins and it reminded me about them trying to locate the girls. 2 days later...
corgan did seem to be in good spirits, pretty stoked actually to be there.
Cool As Ice Cream 01-22-2008, 12:20 PM It's good water though.. Norwegian
oh isn't that nice. playing live earth to save the planet, but at the same time importing water from fucking scandinavia, or fiji, whatever. or at least supporting those who do. very ecological, bolly. like there are no good water sources in the usa.
Cool As Ice Cream 01-22-2008, 12:21 PM did i say "play live earth to save the planet"? nevermind, i meant "play live earth to plug the new album". how could i forget.

duovamp 01-22-2008, 01:34 PM It was awesome. Are we free to speak of the matter, or will it get us all banned? Assuming it won't, I had a great time seeing cars I'll never see again in my life and getting a tour of Detroit. I have a special place in my heart for Detroit now. <3

skipgo 01-22-2008, 05:39 PM i really can't picture billy driving a Ferrari. Jimmy, yes. Billy, not so much.
SlingeroGuitaro 01-22-2008, 06:18 PM i remember the ferarri- some kid in the AOL sp chat in like 1999 lived down the street from one of billys relatives. billy came to visit and when he left the kid ran out to get a picture with him. the car was behind them. it was silver.
i think that picture made the rounds through listessa and the like

mayday 01-22-2008, 07:30 PM that's interesting about the Siamese Dream cover. those little girls must be teenagers now.
...or 21
Teej212 01-22-2008, 07:41 PM looks like they r 6 or 7 in photo, so 21,22///.
mayday 01-22-2008, 07:43 PM i thought they were 5ish but i guess they were older in that photo. also i thought they were twins, no?
adorable babies. they were cute =)
SlingeroGuitaro 01-22-2008, 07:44 PM why did you think they were twins?
i never got that impression

Billy says "get out!.. send her my regards!"[i.e. ok get away from me now] PumpkinsMediaMilitia was looking for these girls for months, and Billy misses the chance to get the digits

skipgo 02-07-2008, 03:36 PM did you watch all of that? he did get her number I think (i can't watch now as i'm at work, so i'm going from memory here). He started to put her number in his phone, but then said someone else would get it for him? (i think? I wish I could just watch the damn thing, but I'm sure I'd get busted if I tried).
I didn't get the impression that he was trying to get rid of her; he seemed genuinely interested as far as i could tell.
markpregen 02-07-2008, 03:40 PM ^well this version was heavily edited then (there is one clear edit).. link me when you get a chance to the one you saw
skipgo 02-07-2008, 03:44 PM i think it was in this thread, and someone mentioned that it was taken off youtube. Hang on, I'll check and see if i can find it for you.
edit: yeah, it was on the first page, but they took it down :(
