don't worry too much. yeah, there are lots of obnoxious idiots who have forgotten the magic of the Pumpkins and just linger around message boards because they've got nowhere else to go. but there are also those of us who still believe in what the Pumpkins were (and continue to be). but i liked your post and i just wanted to let you know that you're certainly not alone, before everyone else starts bashing you for (gasp) respecting the band.

Most of the people you say they don't respect the band, own a shit ton of sp cd's, spent a fortune on vinyl, know the tabs for many songs, downloaded and shared a gig ton of shns (even on 56k times like me, mp3 supporters, kiss my ass and go record your own shows...ups, where was I?),and most important, still post here. If we didn't praise the band we would troll, ups, post anywere else. Posting fun photoshops is a way to remind the band too, if it's in a fun way, better. What's the point of holding a candle to the memories of a band, you won't add nothing new. Worse, in a certain way, you are "offending" people who care the same about the band as you.

PS: I'd post the "how smart i was before reading this post" jpg if I had it in hand.

Seriously man. You know, they're not dead. Don't act like an SP board should be a memorial or a funeral pyre.

they just dont ge it, man, we';re a dying a breed. thiose who truly understand the pumpkins and what they stood for.

Ok, look, if netphoria had a point (if there ever was one) is that don't take it seriously. Corgan didn't want people to take the band seriously. MACHINA, for all its pomp and cirumstance surrounding the mystery, was really just a big joke about the Pumpkins myth. They were, from beginning to end just about making music. Not about enriching your life or saving the whales or hippie bullshit like that, that wasn't the Pumpkins style. You have fun with that. Why do you think there was so much pointless banter at concerts? Because they were in on the joke. These are our songs, enjoy, but don't go crazy over it. To put it in a different term, its like joking around with a buddy. You're friends, you know that its something special but you don't have to kiss thier ass every day.

A pumpkin supremacist?

Get a grip, bands like Led Zep made bigger markstones without supposed anime series or complicated stories.
I belive enjoying the music and having the capacity to criticize is more important, sorry. Understanding the pumpkins, what is that? By understanding the angst, the story of their lifes, the meanings bla bla, then creed or limp bizkit would have the same value as sp, even what you don't like might be "special" in a way you don't "understand", so what? Being O-board like (with his dismiss looks like most users who couldn't get into zwan landed here)? Being religious about it?

i wouldn't say legendary. they didn't do anything the pixies didn't do first.

Reyngel · 06-24-2003, 12:39 AM

Who cares if people are selling their SP albums? It doesn't mean they lost respect for the band. It just means that they need money. Don't get mad at capitalism.

And the reason why Netphoria is full of joke-threads is because every single serious topic about the band has already been discussed, multiple times. It's been 17 years since the band first got together, and there can only be so many "What song means the most to you?" threads before a Billy-looking-at-goatse.cx.on.the.Intarweb picture finds it's way onto a messageboard. It keeps things entertaining.
