alisonmonster 01-19-2004, 10:27 PM i've seen the bottom one though never the top one-its freaky
Thoughtless 01-19-2004, 10:52 PM hahah. the first one is where my icon came from when i was doing the retarded rp billy jr jr. thing.

I MADE THAT.
stumpycat 01-19-2004, 11:34 PM 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 )
sarasvati 01-20-2004, 01:12 AM haha, i remember buying that details magazine when it first came out. it seems like yesterday :(
GrungeGuy 01-20-2004, 01:38 AM 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.
Pet Sounds 01-20-2004, 02:12 AM That first one is creepy as hell. The baby James is a girl!!!
jack_kerouac03 01-20-2004, 09:35 AM the pics are from the San Diego magazine 'Live'.
Billy also interviewed U2 for them a couple of months later.
spguitar 01-20-2004, 12:20 PM I have a pic on my Japanese pumpkins gear pics that is one of the best MCIS live pics ever. I just haven't scanned it :p

The laDave laChapelle show!
Reyngel 01-20-2004, 01:52 PM 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.
mirrar 01-20-2004, 08:23 PM those pics are EVERYWHERE!

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?

am I the only one who's noticed this similarity between both of these pictures every time? Right down to the curled up legs and everything ...
...
...probably, yeah. still its interesting.
Voice Implodes 01-21-2004, 12:35 AM the bottom one was published in DETAILS magazine with a bily interview in 1997- i have it. ive seen the top one somewhere, but i dont know where... but did anyone else notice how much james looks like michael jackson in that picture?
Ranger 01-21-2004, 04:09 AM Nice picture of Jimmy and his preppie bowl cut "do". Good Job Jimmy!
wonder how they got the kids to look so much like them.

CLONING.
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?
Junebug 01-21-2004, 05:14 PM that first pic must have been a weird photo shoot. little mini versions of SP running around eek.
MMBKG 01-21-2004, 05:28 PM I've seen fetus Billy before, but I've never seen that clone pic.
i bet those kids decided to form a tribute band
actually, seeing as they're probably around 11, i doubt it.
TiaraGurl 01-22-2004, 01:30 PM I love Billy as fetus.
zerothehero 01-22-2004, 04:52 PM 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......
stumpycat 01-23-2004, 02:25 AM 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...
Kentaro 01-23-2004, 02:53 AM The James clone looks like a girl.
:confused:
Rockin' Cherub 01-23-2004, 12:59 PM right, every time i see him james seems more and more female to me :D

I remember seeing the Details magazine in early September 96. Ahh, to be 13 again. :(
Jesus christ, no kidding...
