They are finally selling pictures with D'arcy again!

Today he mentioned the Zuzu print sale: "for those of you sniping about the price what do you think it costs to get a world class photographer to offer iconic shots, never before seen..."

Wonder who he was referring to

$605 and they’re not numbered or signed.


I hope the business model is at least sustainable.


Its a parody at this point.


A parody that Billy brings upon himself.

$605 bucks?

It’s an investment piece.

I’ll hang it on the wall next to my Picasso.

Hot Chick: "Oh, who's that photo of the bald guy sniffing a flower on your wall?"
Cool Dude: "Its William Patrick Corgan."
Hot Chick: "Who?"
Cool Dude:"WPC....? Billy Corgan...? The Smashing Pumpkins? Rat in A Cage? People and their Cars?... He's a Musician"
Hot Chick: "Oh......where'd you get that?"
Cool Dude:"Bought it online. They were selling it at a tea shop for $605."
Hot Chick: "Why?!??"
Cool Dude:"A world class photographer took the picture!! What do you think it costs for a famous photographer to take your picture?"
Hot Chick: "No why do you have a picture of another grown man smelling a flower on your wall? And you paid $605 dollars for it?!?!?"
Cool Dude:"Um...I guess...?"
Hot Chick: "Ok! Lets have sex!"

He's slow-fucking the release to see how many Sad Machines will cough up $605 for a photo with an infinite pressing

He said there were like 2 or 3 prints for each photo but it's not a numbered edition so i bet there's going to be lots more.

You go to his IG and most of the time he's talking about things you can buy. That guy really is 90% impresario and 10% musician these days.

Can’t Billy sell more songs to credit card commercials? He said he made $1 million. That’s a lot of shitty tea shop merchandise

He needs to hire an *actual company* to handle all this stuff.

For a potential RnR Hall of Famer, Billy's online presence is about as professional as A Grave Next Door.

Ha, that is so true. If he was a band starting out and was posting the mix of crap he posts, he'd be going nowhere fast.

A PR company would absolutely tell him not to mix the SP and wrestling posts the way he does. Or Zuzu's for that matter.

He's not a band starting out though. The band already went somewhere.

Which is why Billy gets away with his amateurish marketing. He can post a screenshot with markup text promoting Very Important Zeros and thinks it's good business acumen.

How is anyone supposed to take this band seriously? It's obvious how much major label influence was needed in the 90s to make this band a success.

And under Billy’s stewardship he’s taken the band back into irrelevance.

He needed other people (bandmates / label) to make the band successful.

Even the artwork for the archive vinyl looked like it was made in MSPaint. Dude could have gotten something professional for $50 on Fiverr. It's not like SP are a Grammy award-winning band or anything.

Around 1997 he decided he was a solo artist. The Billy Corgan Show or no show.

And every failure since then, the one thing he’s doubled down on is his own “artistic” and “business” genius.

It’s a shame because his mid-90’s success could have continued if he’d actually respected and collaborated with the other contributors to his success. It’s all self-inflicted.
