The bottom picture is from the October 1996 issue of Details magazine. They seem to be able to persuade their interviewees to pose in really weird-ass photo shoots. And for some reason they focused in particular on slipping Billy into tight, form fitting body suits...

(Well, I'm being optimistic here, and assuming that he didn't actually devise any of those things himself.:erm )

The first photo looks like a parody of the cover to the 1967 album by the band Blood Sweat and Tears. The album is called "Child is The Father to Man".

The second picture could have been seen for a long time if you ever visted SPFC.org
Still both are very interesting photos.

the pics are from the San Diego magazine 'Live'.

Billy also interviewed U2 for them a couple of months later.

I never noticed it before, but that fetus-Billy photo... that's not his real body, is it? There's no birthmark on his hand/arm, and the body looks way too short.

well maybe his hand/arm is covered by the sleeve of the body suit and his body just looks short because hes a freak with long legs?

i remember the top one being in a norwegian magazine once, and the bottom one was on some machina acoustic demos cover art i think?

First time I've ever seen those pics and I must admit I got a bit scared. It's some really cool pictures. ROCK ON!

but I doubt that Billy would ever pose nude......

My copy still smells strongly of the Drakkar Noir cologne sample contained within its pages. :)

You are right, though--the interviewer definitely presents himself as being in "smug" mode. Billy just seems to bring that out in interviewers...

I remember seeing the Details magazine in early September 96. Ahh, to be 13 again. :(
