![]() In short
Billy & JC - a few times. BC once during the TFE tour. Was friendly enough, if not business-like signing stuff for fans. Then at a signing in London for American Gothic. He was fairly reserved again, as was JC. James - briefly before an APC gig. Was fairly emotionless. MADM - I've met her a few times, and she has always been really engaging and good fun. She seemed to go out of her way to talk to fans. Chatted about photography for ages. Others: Strawberry - met her in London and chatted for a bit. Was quite cute in person if I recall. Now in 2022 I question why the fuck I'd stop people to ask them inane questions they have answered a million times. Poor bastards. |

![]() Hey you guys, I met Billy twice in 2000 (?). One was at a meet and greet (no concert but I suppose the Resume the Pose tour). I was in high school and was mortified when I watched my friend ask Billy if she could touch his head. He gave a sheepish smile and bowed his head to her. Could you imagine Billy doing anything like that today? He was another person, was breaking up the band, and maybe was excited about the next stage in his career. In retrospect, he was so generous. Unfortunately, I can't remember what, if anything, I said to him. I was too shy to speak, and I'd just taken a photo of James with my camera right in his face. (Sorry, James, I should've asked first, but I was nervous and young.) Machina mustn't have come out yet, so I had no idea what to ask them to sign. I brought Adore, so I have a copy of Adore signed by Jimmy (a prominent John Hancock-esque "JC") and MAdM (very modest, in the corner), along with the two guys who actually played on it.
At a 2000 show, one of my pals got me a backstage pass. I met Billy and gave him a copy of Brave New World. I was obsessed with the book and thought that soma must have been a SINE. Billy was nice but was facing a line of about 100 radio contest winners. In retrospect, it was sweet how accessible he was---very gracious while closing this chapter in his life. It obviously meant tons to those people in line, including me. After those folks left, Billy came to where I and my friend and her friends were hanging and complained about how poorly the show went. His voice was bad, he said. I think my friend had told me of the potential breakup, so I was pretty crushed that what I thought was my last SP show was a disappointment to its creator. (Meanwhile, I had ditched my girlfriend to go backstage, and she and her dad, who was driving us, was livid.) I met Jimmy briefly back in 2016. I was mostly scouting out the theater because Iggy Pop was playing there the next week, and I wanted to meet him (I did, and he kissed me on the mouth. As a homosexual man, I was thrilled, and worried about what diseases I'd just contracted.). I only had my journal for him to sign, which he did. After Jimmy left, security asked us to move around the corner of the theater, so like the Little Rascals, we had to poke out heads around the corner to watch Billy walk into the car that was waiting for him about 200 FEET AWAY. Oh, when I was living in New York in the mid-00s, I was walking through the East Village to the subway. I was too, too drunk, but across the street was James walking his dog. I should have apologized for shoving that camera in his face, but instead, I asked the first question that came to mind: "James, where's Bugg?" I was too inebriated to have done the math that would ensure my answer. I only remembered the happy puppy face in the Gish liner notes. James, however, had a very kind, diplomatic response. |

![]() I think the question that should be asked is have any of the Pumpkins ever met you?

![]() While I have no idea who that is, I love the cat in your avatar. I have been associating that as being you in my mind and I just want to say I think you're really cute.

![]() Honestly all these James stories track with what I've always thought. He's kind of a prick with some kind of personality disorder. Not excusing Billy, but imagine being in a band with someone who is so emotionless and aloof all the time

![]() I had a long-term but still relatively hidden/quiet relationship with D'arcy in the 90s. Being on tour with the Pumpkins, & additionally, the hottest woman in rock, it was irresistable. She was married at the time, I'm not proud of it, but I'll be damned if I said I'd change a thing. Wonder what she's up to now, I did write a platinum-selling album after that ended and you know, if I'm being completely honest, I still kind of miss her sometimes

![]() I met Billy and Jimmy after the Glass House Zwan show in LA. Billy refused to take pictures or sign an autograph. In his defense (which I don't like to do) he was likely tired after the show. Jimmy, however, was super chill/ cool and gave me and the guy I was with a homemade cookie. Sat with him for a bit and chatted.

![]() I've met WPC a few times. Once in the early 90s as a fan and a few times in the last couple of years in business (not music) contexts.
When I met him in the 90s he was a complete dick to me. I mentioned it to him when I first met him properly and he kinda closed his eyes, scrunched up his face for about 5 seconds before pointing at me and saying "Nottingham..Rock City... 1993!" (which was the correct place and I think the right year, it was definitely around then!). He kinda apologised and explained his "method" for communicating with fans and the press. It sounded like 1. he'd put a lot of thought into it. 2. it made some sort of sense..and 3. a lot like pickup artist / "mystery method" stuff. Complete with like "negging" and "peacocking". BUT I've found him to be an absolute JOY. I've met Jimmy once, again, in a business context and he was as great as everyone says but honestly doesn't know wtf he's talking about regarding tech or business. |
