The Smashing Pumpkins are looking for any original photos from 1987-1992 to be a part of their upcoming Gish Boxset.

Were you a fan of The Smashing Pumpkins since the beginning? I mean WAY back, back before anyone can even remember a thing called grunge, digital cameras, or the internet.

If you were in the thick of it back then, and have the photos to prove it, then this message is for you:

The Smashing Pumpkins are looking for any original photos of the band from between 1987-1992. Any photos that ******* the original negative (to prove it is yours and authentic) if chosen for inclusion to be included will be licensed (paid for) in order to be included within the upcoming Gish boxset package.
You may ask yourself, "Will my photo work?" Photos can be from a festival, a club gig, after-show party, anything that is from the correct time period and includes the band.

To reach someone in regards to submitting your original photos, please send a private message to Pumpkinsmediamilitia on this site and you will be given further instructions from there. To send a private message, you must first register for an account on smashingpumpkins.com.

someone submit the fag bat picture.

I'm hoping for a Machina era boxset, so this little beauty can be included:

Is Billy wearing the shirt he pulled out for that Zwan show in Columbia in 2002?

it's like someone put the 4 shittiest hippies they could find in cryogenic stasis and unfroze them in the 90's as a social experiment.

amazing. jimmy's hair is something else.


although now Billy is more likely to be wearing what D'Arcy's wearing in that pic.

well, the hair might be, but the shirt is in a league of it's own

hahahahahha it sure is.

this one should also be included, just because of the dude in the crowd in green looking like the virgin mary in 16th century paintings.

on second thought, the guy in green strongly resembles the MCIS cover woman! SINE!!1!!1

Seriously, it looks like a bad photoshop job.

Yep, D'arcy was totally not hot most of the time. I don't get why people drooled over her.


Also, if it's July and they are just posting this, how does that bode for a release by the end of the year? I ask because I genuinely don't know. I guess the demos are already transferred, but how long does the artwork and packaging take to do?

D'Arcy didn't get hot until MCIS, and mostly in Adore.

Haven't you seen Rider's avatar?

I have a vague memory of seeing a photo of it once before but it never really strucked me until now that once upon a time he was rockin' the 'tail

The person that runs hipstersunited is one of the new writers for SP.com, so I guess they get info early

re read the thread and know what the fuck you're talking about next time you post. he was trying to "own" the kid that dropped that knowlege on him you dumb twat

How's Bahsten treating you, Garksi?

I was listening to Weird Al Yankovich in `88. I have no Gish photos.

me too. the album 'even worse', released in '88 was the first piece of music i ever owned. STG.

edit: haha Garski spidersoma said you got owned by Monte!

Where's the Billy's nutsack pic? Somebody send that one in.

Blindly Speculating Here:

Does this "send in yr photos" scam make anyone else a bit paranoid that we're not going to be getting anything too tucked away? I mean, don't some of us still believe that Billy's got the best stuff himself? Why wouldn't this ******* photography? Why are the fans being asked for help? Is this a fan-oriented project? If so, won't it make it feel like a tribute project?

Bad Hair Day was the first CD I ever bought

and it was the LAST weird al I ever bought...

he was trying to "own" the kid that dropped that knowlege on him you dumb twat

Mark is older than me and a personal friend of mine... and stop bothering me, alright, thank you buh-bye~!

On another note, I am surprise that corgan doesn't have a dresser full of old pictures. it seems like he archived everything

It surprises me too. James and D'arcy must have absconded with all the good ones.

Seriously, though, I think the major flaw with this plan is that they're putting out the call on SP.com. I can almost guarantee you that the random people who came to see their club shows and drunkenly partied with them afterwards aren't hanging out on SP.com, and truthfully most of them are either approaching middle age or are already there, and have probably moved on from interest in SP completely. Back then they were just another band in the scene.

^ yeah, a cropped photo of the crotch would make a pretty sweet label for whatever Gish rarities disc they decide to do.

i would have to agree.

who would keep the negatives?

who would keep the negatives?

other than billy corgan? seriously i think this might be a lost cause. i don't know about what kind of policy's were in placed back then but a lot of shows i recall seeing always said "no cameras"

were the pumpkins strict back then? did they really care if someone took a picture of them? i always imagined them to be really cool in the early years

Too bad they're asking for negs... I've got a stack of tres awesome photos from 1989 & 1990, including some from their first anniversary show. Of course, while they are actual photographs, the person who gave them to me didn't give me negatives and 12 years later I have no way to get in touch with her anymore...

Haha!

Exactly. And those of us who were teenagers when this all went down (me *******_d) have left all traces of adolescence (like pictures) at our respective parents' homes with our old baseball card collections anyway...

Well at least those of us thirty somethings who actually moved away from home...

you are missing out on gobs of gobs of money Dave! Hunt her down!

this is acttually exactly what i expected though. the people who would have pictures would most likely not have the negatives :(

Shit, I don't care about the money, they're cool photos. It's funny to see them playing in an empty club but still bringing the rock star moves.
