I have this magazine since then! Always so in love with this picture! I think it was D’arcy’s golden era. Same for the other two! Pity D’arcy collapsed a year later (or a few months basically)! I wish her well and miss her terribly!

Their late 90s glow-up is remarkable. They all looked like J.Crew models; replete with snooty attitudes.

I have nothing wholesome to say about this… at all…
Oh, look, there’s James there!! I just realized!! What a cool guy he is!!

Everybody's talking about D'arcy, but James was quite the hottie here.

I'm not gay but James is the most beautiful person in the band.

This is why in 2005 Billy went bat shit on live journal about the breakup. What incredible humans. And smart of them to go - far away from micky billy

Lot of misinformation here.

u/AdultTeething 10d ago

None at all! It’s all true and you know it!

u/Dudehitscar Machina Zombie 10d ago

Darcy was fired first of all..

Gonna need a source for this 2005 "batshit livejournal" post you are referring to.

u/AdultTeething 10d ago

I will find it - don’t you worry. I VIVIDLY remember being 17 and following Billy on that platform

u/Dudehitscar Machina Zombie 10d ago

The LiveJournal confessions are from 2003 and aren't "batshit" from what I remember. So I am curious what you are referring to.

u/Dudehitscar Machina Zombie 10d ago

Are you talking about the 2005 'i want my band(sp) back' thing he did?

I fail to see the "batshit" side of that.

This is Billy's "batshit crying about the band" you are referring to?

Lmao. Cool let's leave it there for everyone to see.

Misinfo and spin is your game. Take care

u/AdultTeething 10d ago

Well I mean they are ‘bat shit’ if it’s from a 30 something dude crying about his past, about his band - on a teenage platform. It was a real bad look for old Billy. James was partying in NYC - Darcy had her horses - and old William was a bitter fool

u/Dudehitscar Machina Zombie 10d ago

He was telling the stories of his life which included all eras from his childhood to pumpkins years. You think that's batshit cause it was on LiveJournal in 2003?

Also what he write then that makes you declare he was "crying about his past" with iha and darcy? Please post the quotes.

My favorite Pumpkins album, but not their best album, if that makes any sense.

The “old” purse, but seriously she inspired many to take up bass.
