shampooSpectatorOkay I lied, actually 2 questions:
1. Why do they have Ginger wearing a blond wig? I didn’t even realize it was her until I saw her pick up the bass. It makes me think of D’Arcy.
2. Who is the woman at the very end of the video laying down? Linda Strawberry posted on MySpace to see if we could find her in that video but that doesn’t look like her. .
Any hints???

Geezz. I had the same creepy feeling when I saw her in the first half, around 1/3 or so, in the screen left above in a quick shot. Like "What? Huh? Did they hire…? Nooooo!". Very eagerly waiting to have an answer to this one! -

Cool As Ice CreamSpectatorapparently paris hilton is in the video.
and about what is going on: the band meets up and plays. that’s basically it.
in the beginning they’re all alone. then they get in touch with each other, take their space ships and meet. then they perform. -

luxeSpectatorI will have to keep watching it because I didn’t catch Strawberry in the video (thanks Satur999 for pointing that out). I didn’t know Paris Hilton was in it, so I’ll keep an eye out for her — not surprised that she’d be in a video of theirs, especially after Billy explained why they chose her as an image of being famous today.
I thought Billy was flying a helicopter at first. It was a decent video but kinda confusing, although I liked it because you get to see Ginger, Jeff, and Lisa. I would have probably gotten more of it if it didn’t shift images so quickly but then again maybe it’s my old eyes that aren’t quick enough to keep up.
I hate to even mention this but does anyone think the woman on the floor at the end is Veronica Grey? I couldn’t say yes or no.
I wonder who shot the video. I got an email from Kristin Burns and she said she was in Greece w/ the Pumpkins. I wish that MTV still played videos cuz they always listed the producer.

luxeSpectatorI am quite frustrated that MTV has gone down the tubes. I seriously do not know when the last time I saw a video was. . . I long for the days of \"Alternative Nation\". I think more and more we’ll be going to you sites like YouTube for videos.
If you don’t know what Veronica looks like, you can Google Images and see. Here is a link to the IMDb site and what bothers me most is that is lists she is married to Billy.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1227579
The IMDb site says she is married to Billy but the information on her is taken word-for-word from her fsyche web site. I also noticed that the email of the person updating her profile is one of her email addresses that she uses.
I wanted so badly to ask Kristin if it was really true about this so called marriage but didn’t feel it was in the context of what we were talking about.

Tree_SpiritSpectatorI have to agree MTV,has went way down the hill and not even worth the time of day actually.
I’m just really confused that ginger was in a blond wig.Maybe Billy’s trying to make a point to D’arcy.Wasn’t it him that was Quoted she is *mean spirited*I don’t know, maybe a point here to try to reach D’arcy in this, only Billy’s does know.It WOULD be totally awesome, if they ended their closing tour date in Chicago with all the original members in the line up,that would totally like rock & pwn all things!!:lol:
But this video has a walking shade & tonight tonight feel to me.Love this vid was done in classic b&w.There something about the feel of b&w and SP.I do say this vid ,did jump around in it meaning and has a few points made in it.It was just really randomly showing different stuff at times,but of course to a greater meaning,as always with the pumpkins.I look forward in hearing Billy explaining this vid in more detail.The mind wonders with possibilities here!!:lol:
PS:The women it the video at the end could be Veronic Grey’s twin

luxeSpectatorHA! My mom was looking over my shoulder and said \"that’s a guy\" (in the video). I think if VG was in the video she’d be spewing this news all over the Internet. But I do have to say, it does resemble her.
I would love it if the band ended up w/ the original 4 members in Chicago but I’ve started to really like the 3 new Pumpkins so don’t know how I’d feel about that.
Oh, yes Billy did call her \"mean spirited\" and excuse my language but he actually said \"mean spirited bitch\". But he’s a hot head so maybe he’s over it now.

I like to think your mom is right. The eyes and eyebrows part are not female at all.And about D’Arcy: I’m almost sure they (the band, or at least Billy) are sometimes hinting to her. Remember Billy’s bass guitar that was played by D’Arcy a lot in the old days? It appeared in a burial setting with a huge red SP heart in a coffin… can be found in the Zeitgeist artwork.

Wow, Arthur I am so impressed at how you picked that up. I think all of those images probably say a lot more than we think. I wonder about the wrestler guy. I know Billy likes wrestling but somehow I don’t think that is what it is about.

ArthurSpectatorI think I found 1 Paris Hilton clue in the video, close to halfway. Billy and Jeff are in this funny car, you’re looking down on top of the car and an octagone mirror appears and disappears on the right side. Paris Hilton is visible in this mirror I’m pretty sure. It’s just after a quick Ginger on her bike shot. And it is just before we see Jimmy in his flaming rocketcar again.
In this YouTube video it’s at 01:53 / 04:00.

OK luxe I know something. Post a few of your most fav. pics of Billy Corgan and tell us why you like them. Also tell us what kinda contact you had with Billy in the ol’ days back then, and what you discussed with him. And what will definately make you earn a pair: what stuff you got of the Pumpkins what could and should be scanned/photographed to be published in the SPfreaks Collection. Do it, send to @spfreaks.com">spf-contact@spfreaks.com, type some detailed info with it and is yours!

SNC, this is awesome. It clears some things up. First of all, in the liner notes of Zeitgeist, BC gives thanks to a Ve. That was the only name even close to Veronica (as in the lame Veronica Grey), so now we know it isn’t her.
Also, some of us thought that the girl in the video might be Veronica Grey and now we know it is not!!
Thanks for this revelation!

It was okay. Nothing that really blew my mind other than trying to figure out who everyone was.
But sometimes I wonder why they make videos at all anymore. It seems MTV and VH1 no longer show videos. Not even in the middle of the night — which is a bummer. Remember Alternative Nation? I *loved* that show.

No, that’s not what I meant by the edit. I had written something else concerning ve after seeing her profile but I didn’t want any misunderstanding so I deleted it. Sorry about the confusion.
And yes, I agree with you. I don’t see the point of making videos these days but then again I don’t think SP are putting as much effort as they did during their MCIS days either.
