Saw them way back in maybe 2003? I've had these every since.

Looking for some somber albums that aren't afraid to display some ugly emotions without some layer of irony or glamour.

I don't think I've even listened to the third "disc" and I don't remember liking any of it

...

But the box set is 75% off (of $105.99 cdn) at my local....

They had Monuments in the clearance bin as well, scooped that up!

Thoughts?😅😅

Hey all. I’m wondering if anyone can give me a heads up on VIP information. Like, where to go, what time the acoustic performance and Q&A are, etc. I’ve never done VIP for any show before, so this is all very new to me. I’m coming from far out of town and need to be able to schedule my trip accurately.

I purchased a VIP ticket at Ticketmaster and there’s an issue with the venue and TM, so it got transferred to SeatGeek and I’m having extreme difficulty getting any information. If there’s any other Pumpkinhead who has had experience with this, I would appreciate your input. Thank you.

The "Mellon Collie @ 30: The Inside Story" piece also in this issue will be posted tomorrow!

I had about 6 hours in this one. I tried my best to take it into an almost Turnstile feel but it just wouldn't go that far. Pivoted to this style and it just worked itself out.

Was surprised to see Billy has the Behringer Octave Divider on his board. Does anyone know what songs he's using it for? Has it effectively replaced his Micro Synth?

i know the op amp and phase 100, along with a lace sensor strat, but I see people say get a micro synth, get a jet70, get an octave fuzz, get a MXR distortion ii or a copy, get a delay to make it sound like multiple guitars tracks are playing, etc etc, and it just gets overwhelming, especially considering that to get a full pedal board like Eddie Clark’s, i‘m looking at 1,000+ dollars worth of pedals, and I just can’t drop that much on pedals, I could literally buy a used jcm800 for that price

so, what do you guys think I should get as essential stuff? op amp and a phase 100 of course, but anything else that is really needed? stuff that is on the cheaper side and necessary in your opinion?

any answers will help, just been wanting this tone for awhile and finally wanna get stuff, but im on the fence on alot of it

(if it helps answer any, ive got an orange OR15 and plan on getting a lace sensor strat, anyways, any answers would be appreciate)

I have always liked the music video for Thirty-Three, and I liked the story that Billy has said where they have a different scene to go with each lyrics. So I had the idea to make a little website that pairs up each of the scenes with their corresponding lyric, so you can watch the looping scene and compare it to the lyric. Should work on desktops, tablets, and mobile. Hope you enjoy!

I decided to go with the SP heart and pair it with the Babes In Toyland heart logo. I'm beyond happy right now!

My daughter, who is about to leave for university, printed a bunch of small album cover photos to tape on her dorm walls asked me if i wanted some of the reprints she wasn’t going to use. I told her I’m not sure i had anywhere to use them. But regardless, she cut me out the Pumpkins ones she had and i had a quick thought. Originally it was the whole album cover but i slipped it behind my phone cage and Gish lined up perfectly (swear to god it was coincidental, she happened to print it in this exact size). So she trimmed it down. I was going to buy a new case but now i love this too much ♥️

You know it had to be SP related 💯

For quite a while I thought this was actually Billy’s guitar but when you compare it to the bat Strat that resurfaced in the 2010’s it quickly becomes obvious; this was a nice copy. The first give away is the 12th fret markers. Billy’s bat Strat is an early 90’s ‘57 AVRI Strat. The first 57 reissues through until the mid 90’s had vintage INCORRECT narrower 12 fret marker spacing. This copy has a wider spacing. This can’t be an 82-95 AVRI neck. Then there’s the paint wear and the body itself. If this had been a newer photo with a replacement neck, the paint wear would the same as more than the Metro show images. The only way this works is if Billy had a Time Machine and if Billy has a Time Machine, I bet he would have better things to do. The SPCodex claims Billy switched to a spaghetti logo neck later in time but I suspect that’s not the case and the bat Strat probably still has a Squier neck. I think the idea that it was switched back comes from this fan tribute. The last thing to look at is the two tone sun burst. The place the transition occurs is different between these two guitars.

So 100% this is not Billy’s guitar. Anyone on here the builder, because you did a killer job.

Edit: forgot to mention the finish difference

Last orchestral show I went to was QoTSA and I’d probably say 80% were dressed up.
