they're like the most awkward, awful thing I've ever seen in my life. esp. this one:

the girl is cute but wtf is billy doing!? :O he looks like a freak!


i'm so excited to get the chance to be in one of these awkward photo ops wednesday :erm: i'll be sure to share it with everyone...

i really, really want that monkey hat

the monkey face is like '______;

quit resizing my firefox window, awkward pictures!!

It's just some laidback fan photos.
Wish I had some embarassing pic like this with billy/jimmy

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1322.JPG

talk about AWKWARD.

Ok, I take it back, no need to be THAT awkward.

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1308.JPG


ahaha his face. oh shit.

yep, that one did it for me.

photoshop opps galore

<img src="http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/SP08AC/3_IMG_1429.JPG">

Man, Jimmy looks so awesome.

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/SP08Toronto2/3_IMG_1352.JPG

crotch photo op!

:rofl:

man, billy is killer in these photos

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1308.JPG

LOL

In every photo, BC/JC either look like they're trying too hard to look like they care, or they look like possums in the headlights

i always have thought that staged photos have a 75% or higher chance of coming out either stupid or awkward.. i would much rather have a candid shot of myself talking to them rather than a fake pose

Yeah, I really suck at smiling for photos unless I'm laughing or something.

^ That one takes the cake! ^

quit resizing my firefox window, awkward pictures!!

seriously. that is damn irritating!

I think they're pretty cool pictures-- awkward or not. They're way better than the ones that people have taken on the street where Billy invariably looks pissed off.

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1308.JPG

this is awesome. Billy acknowledging how much of a tough guy this kid is.

Oh and why can't a brother get a photo op with Lisa?

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1308.JPG

this is awesome. Billy acknowledging how much of a tough guy this kid is.


Even Jimmy is backing away!!

Haaahaaa

Is it just me or does Jimmy improve with age.

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1322.JPG

The tattoo looks quite out of character for the guy with the Zwan shirt.

These pics are hilarious!

Billy tweaking his balls

Damn it Billy, 45 copies of Zeitgeist, telling all your core fans to die in a fire....but still this pictures shows you really do have moments of being......nice


http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/SP08DC1/3_IMG_1467.JPG

I hope she is pregnant actually, and not just fat. Otherwise Billy would be a complete asshole and I take back what I just said :)

you just went too far :mad:

they look miserable in some of these pictures.

the zwan shirt is hardcore.

SMASHING PUMPKINS: ARE THEY MISERABLE?

MORE AT 10

billy looks like he's tripping balls in these pictures.

so do these people get a higher res version emailed to them or something, or it's just go to the website and find your 800x600 .jpeg?

so do these people get a higher res version emailed to them or something, or it's just go to the website and find your 800x600 .jpeg?
would you really want something higher res than that?

some of these fans are going to want them lifesize.

He's being a lot nicer than I'd have been, if I had to hang around those "people" and pose for pictures.

Please remember those people paid for the priveledge. He wasn't doing it out of the goodness of his heart.

ahaha his face. oh shit.

i was about to post this one. :)

this thread made me really happy. i don't know why

Is it just me or does Jimmy improve with age.

real men do that.

if i ever was in their position, i'd do the same thing. or a combination of both.

Yeah, you're never gonna look "cool" so you just have to be an ass and go for it. Better to be funny than cringe-y. In the interest of full disclosure, the creepy red-eyed dude in the black is me. rawk!

wow you admitted to being that guy. Netphorian Hero I salute you.

rock on!

I wouldn't care how cheesy it would be, because at the end of the day, I'd be able to say I'd met Billy after being a fan for over 10 years.

I mean, if you had the chance, would you turn it down just because of what other people say? "Oh, I didn't go meet Billy because people would laugh".

I wonder when these people bought their tickets it said "get your picture taken with the band"*














* these pictures will later appear on Netphoria for the amusement of others. Please pay extra to make them private.

Yeah, you're never gonna look "cool" so you just have to be an ass and go for it. Better to be funny than cringe-y. In the interest of full disclosure, the creepy red-eyed dude in the black is me. rawk!


So who are you flashing an "I love you" sign to?

Yeah when I met Jimmy I couldn't believe how good he looked. He just looked so healthy and happy, I was definitely thinking about all the shit he's gone through and how cool it was that he looked so great.

On the other hand there's D'Arcy...

time has ravished corgans once youthful looks

Billy looks miserable in most of the pictures, in fact he looks exactly the same in most of them like if they had just stuck a cardboard cut out of him there.

Obviously the "Have your photo taken with BC/JC" thing wasn't his idea.

I remember this woman, she was super hyper bouncing off the walls sort of type.

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/2_IMG_1311.JPG

Monte is gonna throw a fit when he sees Billy with all these other fans

Billy you jezebel!

Paying an insane amount of money to meet someone is lame.

There's no other way, really, since he's so high in demand.

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/2_IMG_1311.JPG

at least that dude knows how to throw up the devil horns.

And play with his crotch.

He is hiding his massive boner so you wouldn't feel so bad.

This guy rocks out to the max, and is considerate. Women everywhere want him.

haha. i dint notice his crotch hold at first

and that girl looks fucking annoying

wow, you can tell that from her face and posture?

In your example I go on your tedious, annoying, infantile posts.

weird huh?

Yeah, you're never gonna look "cool" so you just have to be an ass and go for it. Better to be funny than cringe-y. In the interest of full disclosure, the creepy red-eyed dude in the black is me. rawk!

let me be the first to tell you that you are a tool. no offense. what the fuck were you thinking?:erm:

oh, well he said she was annoying and by looking at her, i jsut get hte vibe that she would annoy me. just sayin. its mainly her face.

Go back to thepumpkins.net

They like your kind

So who are you flashing an "I love you" sign to?

netphoria, of course. :smoke:

let me be the first to tell you that you are a tool. no offense. what the fuck were you thinking?:erm:

actually, if you go back and look closely at the thread, you will see that i was the first to call myself a tool. :banging:

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1458.JPG



seriously, some of those make me think that this pic site is just some weird photoshop hoax

actually, if you go back and look closely at the thread, you will see that i was the first to call myself a tool. :banging:

Therefore you are officially a tool?

I don't think you're a tool just for meeting BC/JC and making a weird expression when you got your photo taken with them. Thats pretty awesome.

In fact, you are my hero.

:love:

Get a room. We don't appreciate that kind of love round here

Is this the royal "we"?

Therefore you are officially a tool?

so did billy really refuse to even shake hands with his fans? that's awful, even if he is a germophobe..that's pretty bad..

:rofl:

Yes, that is true, but he had no problem getting a handful of the germ-riddled plastic cover holding my galapogos illustration. Jimmy was fine with shaking hands. I heard Billy say in an interview (I think it was the DC radio one) that as part of his new health-kick, he doesn't go to doctors for checkups anymore and refuses to take medication, all while noting that he has a considerable history of cancer in his family. But, ya know, its not like early detection of cancer is important or anything...:erm:

I bet he is waiting for the fan that brings him Dettol when meeting him, so he can hand down his kingdom to his new righteous heir.

good to hear that Bill is still acting like a douche

Billy, he so crazy.

He should wear gloves like MJ

I never met him

A sad story. Give me $500 and I can make it happen

Billy, he so crazy.

He should wear gloves like MJ

...or just wash his hands afterwards...maybe carry some purell on him...:noway:

as guitar virtuoso nonpareil, those hands are his livelihood. god forbid one should get crushed in the overzealous grip of some crazed fucker such as this guy:
http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/SP08AC/3_IMG_1440.JPG

the great pianist glenn gould was the same way.

if i ever was in their position, i'd do the same thing. or a combination of both.

totally. if i spent that kinda cash it would be on like i don't give a FUCK. it's impossible to look cool in what is prolly the ultimate fanboy/girl moment. if anything the goal should be to make bc/jc regret their decision to do this. it's like - "i paid for this I DO WHAT I WANT!!1!

smashingdreams you rock :cool: i love you too

edit: somebody should have told the management to crank the heat up. it must have been freezing in there what with all the scarves and knit hats and shit :erm:

A sad story. Give me $500 and I can make it happen

you edited your post you bastard!

uhuh then they'd have to retune all the instruments.

it is obnoxiously obvious to me that no one in this thread is a musician.

last time i checked the band did not play in the banquet hall

aaa... :embarass:

s'okay. and for the record i don't care when my cigar box guitar is a little out of tune. makes it sound mean.

That's a happy crew.

I like his lazy bedroom eyes.

It's as if he's peering into my soul...

.


I don't know what people were expecting, I guess. It was $500 to force Billy and Jimmy into a contract to take a photo with you.

The same process happens with a John and a whore.




So of course Billy looks like he hates being there. He really does.



fucking hilarious photos though, ahahaha

using your logic every financial transaction is like a john and a whore. who shit in your cereal?

this is you, aint it

Billy looks miserable in most of the pictures, in fact he looks exactly the same in most of them like if they had just stuck a cardboard cut out of him there.

haha, that's what I was thinking. what's with the whole "I'm gonna stick my chin out in every picture like all the kids on myspace who are trying to hide their double chin"?
sigh. so many great pictures, so little time.

this is you, aint it

Hahahaha... I wish I was graced with those bedroom eyes. No, I didn't attend any shows on this tour. Maybe on the Gish Tour (which certainly will happen since Billy has never scraped a plan before) I'll attend.

I'm sure this was brought up somewhere, some place, but, if you really want the monkey hat, here it is (http://www.berkeleyhat.com/sockmonkeyhat.html).

using your logic every financial transaction is like a john and a whore. who shit in your cereal?




No, using my logic, plus the evidence of everyone agreeing that Billy and Jimmy look like they physically hate being there, then it makes sense.


Let me guess. You're one of the people who got a shit photo with Billy, too? haha

i haven't laughed this hard in such a long time.

thank you rich people.

wrong again. granted those photos all look like shit and they are kind of pointless. i just thought calling them whores because of it was a bit drastic. you sounded bitter.

the only good pictures are the bunny ears and the pregnant lady... those seem genuine.. the rest are harsh..

How thrilled do you think they both are at every show when the photo opp comes up? I mean it would probably be cool to meet your fans but when its like this its like.. uggh.. i mean Bill does come out after shows a lot and talk to fans so ... yeah

wrong again. granted those photos all look like shit and they are kind of pointless. i just thought calling them whores because of it was a bit drastic. you sounded bitter.



I didn't call the fans whores. I called Billy and Jimmy whores.


And really it was somewhat in jest. Chill out.

I can get why Billy isn't smiling... de doesn't smile a lot in photos, generally. But what's with him standing so far back from a lot of the fans?

And are there any questions/answers from the meet and greets posted yet?

I can get why Billy isn't smiling... de doesn't smile a lot in photos, generally. But what's with him standing so far back from a lot of the fans?

i know! don't the pictures seem unusually impersonal? esp the ones where BC/JC are sitting on the stage and the fans are standing on the ground in front of them. SOOOOOO AWKWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I now know the real reason Billy wouldn't take a picture with me last year, I didn't pay the $500 required.

And are there any questions/answers from the meet and greets posted yet?


Billy why are you so awesome?
Jimmy why are you so awesome?
will you guys marry me?
Guys can you release Gossamer so I can buy lots of copies?
Do you touch yourself at night?

That concludes all the questions asked.

Billy why are you so awesome?

Answers plz

Billy why are you so awesome? Because I'm Jesus
Jimmy why are you so awesome? Billy told me I was
will you guys marry me? No, we have a "thing"
Guys can you release Gossamer so I can buy lots of copies? No Monte, also your videos sucked
Do you touch yourself at night? No, we charge fans to do it.

So this might be a little obvious to everyone, but where the hell is the mutant Zeitgeist boy who took that sweet shot of himself in the mirror

good fucking god, these are all just as embarrassing and awkward as i thought they would be.



thank you rich people.

wow! im so jealous of you guys. if they do a meet up with fans in europe im paying a gazzilion dollars for this opportunity :)

They wouldn't dare do this in Europe

kahlo.

give me those tracks.

please.

thread delivers

Is it me, or is Billy trying to look like Manu Chao?

I guess I now know the real reason Billy wouldn't take a picture with me last year, I didn't pay the $500 required.

Maybe Billy donated $500 to Netphoria and was expecting you to return the favor.

Is it me, or is Billy trying to look like Manu Chao?

IZ U.

I guess I now know the real reason Billy wouldn't take a picture with me last year, I didn't pay the $500 required.

I got one for free so no .. maybe it's because even though he may have been nice he is still bitter towards you over this place?

this is amazing.
you'd think for $300 bucks a pop they could afford something a bit more professional than a disposable Kodak.

Grainy and red eyes, much?

why would he be bitter towards him?

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1303.JPG



i really like this one. the guy looks so happy. i really like it, it makes me feel nice

also, bill's puts his hands on his hips underhand, like a woman

I guess I now know the real reason Billy wouldn't take a picture with me last year, I didn't pay the $500 required.

</>

i don't put my hands on my hips underhand =/

I guess I now know the real reason Billy wouldn't take a picture with me last year, I didn't pay the $500 required.

why would he be bitter towards him?

the negative atmosphere he seems to think this place can be.. and the fact that the picture stealers came here to post them

i really like this one. the guy looks so happy. i really like it, it makes me feel nice

Oh noes. I thought it was a really ugly chick :(

i also thought it was a girl. but i agree, she looks happy.

i thought the joke of his post was that it was a girl...:think:

I think I'm going with girl.

i thought the joke of his post was that it was a girl...:think:

no joke was detected here.

i really like this one. the guy looks so happy. i really like it, it makes me feel nice

she is a girl. i kind of know her. be nice.

oh and for everyone that was mad billy didn't shake hands i did get a little back pat...haha it was probably out of pity because my voice was shaking i was so nervous...i don't know why, i've met him before...jimmy was REALLY sweet though.

she is a girl.

have you confirmed that? visually?

billy's standing back because he's 6'14" and he wants to fit in the frame.

same reason Jimmy can only fit one of his massive arms in.

i'm going with dude

have you confirmed that? visually?

we were at the same BWF book signing

Remember that band that we all at some point loved, and some of us still love?

Yeah, that band.

What the fuck is with this topic?

Remember that band that we all at some point loved, and some of us still love?

Yeah, that band.

What the fuck is with this topic?

what are you even talking about

doesn't matter anymore, I just thought the thread was mean spirited and pointless, but apparently you guys need this stuff to get by!

dude get off your fucking high horse already and stop taking this shit so seriously

WHY SO SERIOUS SUNKISSED

doesn't matter anymore, I just thought the thread was mean spirited and pointless, but apparently you guys need this stuff to get by!

you're only reading one side. thanks for your rude generalisation. it's much appreciated on hatephoria.

^ check out this guy

the correct phrase is: lol check out this guy

please stick to that. you too, redbull.

you're a butt. you butt.

sunkissed is on a mission from the b0llweevil to stop all this negativity towards the band.

It's almost as if the fans themselves are photo-chrashers.
Jimmy and Billy were trying to make a bland christmas card, and some zealous sychophant barged infront.
The reaction would render the same expressions on B&J.

Oh yeah, if I paid for a photo that looked as photoshopped as these bizarre shots do, I'd feel as stupid as I should.

yeah, i think i've worked out the netphoria humour now. go easy.

damn ILAA is really slow about posting the pictures...he just took them on a regular digital camera, like how long does it take!?

yeah, i think i've worked out the netphoria humour now. go easy.

Do you want a medal?

not only is it slow, but jesus christ the quality is horrible. red eyes and grainy? c'mon. When i get in there on the 8th I'm going to have to show him how to use a camera and make carapatricia look pretty. and thin.

yeah what are fans paying for this anyway

doesn't matter anymore, I just thought the thread was mean spirited and pointless, but apparently you guys need this stuff to get by!

i started it, and it wasnt meant to make fun of how the fans looked, but rather how unenthused billy & jimmy look. trust me, i had one of the vip packages and when they put my pic up i have every intention of pointing and laughing at it. i'm pretty sure i look something like this ---> :O

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/SP08NYC2/3_IMG_1425.JPG

HAHA! what the fuck..

You the dude on the left?

um. no. i'm pretty sure i'm a chick. and not the po-po.

Oh.. sorry, just kinda assumed that you were laughing at a picture of yourself after reading this:

i had one of the vip packages and when they put my pic up i have every intention of pointing and laughing at it.

those motherfuckers at the port authority better have paid $300 like everyone else.

lol @ the comments in this thread.

i really, really want that monkey hat

billy's hat reminds me of what the younger kid wore in the movie tekkonkinkreet.

http://i24.tinypic.com/2ptxqif.png

i think some sort of crime has been committed here.

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/SP08DC2/3_IMG_1482.JPG

also, what's the rest of the word on billy's shirt? the one that says "TU". it would be awesome if it said sTUmbleine....but i doubt it.

Maybe it's a 'stupid' shirt with an arrow pointing to the right.

ha. with a dollar sign for the "S".

you might be on to something.

i believe it's something like STUD :D

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/SP08DC2/3_IMG_1482.JPG



Jimmy: "You know, I would always see Billy wearing a new scarf. So I was like Billy, those are some nice scarves. So he gave me this orange one and now I wear it all the time. Next week, Billy is taking me shopping to get some new scarves. I really want a yellow one, but Billy says they don't make yellow scarves. :("

that zero shirt has seen a lot in its lifetime. i mean, that is one faded fucking tshirt.

jimmy why are you so fucking clark gable handsome

Billy, i think, believes 'nightmare before christmas' was written about him.
he is really taking the jack skellington look to another level.

you mean its not about billy? i thought zero, the only one he really needs oh yea, was about the dog.

http://www.iloveallaccess.com/tour_images/3_IMG_1303.JPG

I failed beating anorexia!

The tattoo looks quite out of character for the guy with the Zwan shirt.

These pics are hilarious!

I guess it was his day off from loving Atreyu.

now thats just plain rude. theres no place for that sort of garbage here. watch where you step - or you will be quickly deleted.

now thats just plain rude. theres no place for that sort of garbage here. watch where you step - or you will be quickly deleted.

I agree...Atreyu is a terrible band...

is it just me or have the ILAA people been really slow at updating the pictures????
