pictures like this make you question the whole narrative, maybe it's true, maybe they were just a bunch of kids who wanted to be the next Echo and the Bunnymen and jumped on the alternative bandwagon at the right time and place, accidentally making era defining classics.

[T&T]

they were just kids.
they want to be the next Echo and the Bunnymen
& ended up being so much more.

what's in a haircut when the music is great....

Did we ever find out what that fucking carrot was about?

Or was it "to make fools ask questions" and I've just obliged?

[phang]

"Huh yeah hold this carrot"
"What"
"Trust me, it'll be really funny in 2023 when someone asks about it"

[T&T]

I imagine it's more of
"i'm going to hold this carrot."
"I guess sure"

what else would they be

i'm sad about everything but i cannot believe james iha working in a record store in 1987 was scheming about putting alice in chains in their place

[reprise85]

for some reason my brain when i was like 13 decided the carrot was a joke about billy's very, very tight pants.

[absof]

Didn’t she just have a thing with carrots? Her logo for the space costumes in the Rocket vid was a carrot.

[LoveIsSuicide42]

The carrot is a symbol of D'arcy tempering the masculine energy of the band. It's like a tiny little penis, and she's holding it in her hands in a way that evokes a snapping motion.

This is why Billy could never have her in the band again.

I seriously doubt he knew who Alice In Chains was in 1987. Also did SP even dislike AIC?

[Squish Squash]

Loved the Gish era where they were basically hippies.

[Squish Squash]

With Bugg

[T&T]

If billy had a dog, I'm sure he'd sell more records.

[Squish Squash]

I always loved Bugg, he was so cute. What kinda dog do we think he was? I'm thinking a Lab mix?

You know what, AIC is the other band that comes to mind with a similar pattern, early on they were basically a glam rock band, etc...

It's almost as if faking it a bit put all these people on the right tracks of history. Then Bill decides to "be himself" and it's all gowns and bad music and shit

So true

[topleybird]

Man, I completely forgot about that one. Loved it then and I love it still. At the time I figured "Oh, 'I used to be a little boy,' the children they used to be are always with them, also it's just creepy and that's cool as hell."

The photoshoots got increasingly strange in the MCIS and Adore eras

[Shadaloo]

I actually don't think I ever saw this one. For a sec I took it for a creepy AI job. Where was it from?
