Still not complete though.
heh cool
humm… for some reason i have the urge to hack into one of those information things and actually spread the SPfreaks word
wouldn’t know where to start unfortuanately…[/quote:82ygkcax]
Things like this might help a bit Superlordspamulon! Talking about the old days… dial up is sooooo… Nineties!
In the meantime I found some old stuffs from 2003/2004 today, when I was cleaning my pc. This funny pic, which we spread around at that time (amongst others, but that’s for our 5 year anniversary next year
), reminded me our very first domain in 2003/2004 was not redwolf.nl, but darktech.org… 
g Ill go if you fly me in from Toledo, OH…USA…lol[/quote:3ntekz64]
If I was a millionaire I would toad32r… (I just love to meet the SPfreaks friends and have a fun Pumpkins day!)Seriously, this fair is quite something. They sometimes even called themselves the biggest fair in the world, but maybe that’s not true anymore. What we normally would do is divide the rows of stalls between the friends, take our mobiles and phone each other when we find something interesting for 1 of the other guys. All the stalls have a number, you get a map when you enter and then just call your friend(s) and shout "stall 241! Machina acetate! come check it out!"
(and guys with a PDA type of mobile can also check SPfreaks.com on the spot to compare the finds with the website, pretty cool…)I found many many many rarities here over the years for 5-25 Euro, which will do way better on eBay… Not only Smashing Pumpkins, but also Man… Or Astroman, 16 Horsepower, System Of A Down, Mars Volta… lots. There will be sales awards, auctions, readings, bands playing, celebrities signing, huge amounts of vinyl, posters and rare Asian stuff like Minidiscs and Minicds… to much to mention. Heaven on earth indeed!
Afterwards we will go & have dinner in 1 of the many pittoresque restaurants in the center of Utrecht (all on walking distance, and the center is like little Amsterdam, very beautiful) and compare the finds with each other. Truely an adrenaline-driven day, believe me…
hey spfreaks should be updated this is new info from pumpkins website[/quote:1k5zadrg]
Thanks BleedingTheOrchid, it has just been adjusted in the Tour & Recording History. It’s our good practice to leave the cancelled dates/locations there for future reference. On top of the Tracks Info section we provide extra info, visible after you clicked the date with the *.http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=TOURHISTO … locid=1040 for example.
awesome! thanks for this, saves having to buy one. is the rest of the dvd any good?[/quote:3m61y9mm]
Hey, welcome matt! You’re right, that Metro DVD was going for 100 bucks exactly few days back on eBay!
and for someone who’s a)completely devoted to SP and b) has spent a small/large fortune on SP related items, i’m somewhat surprised that you haven’t flown to, say, america just to see them. like during one of their residency stints? just a thought
[/quote:1nrs8mfe]
Yeah somehow you’re right… I still regret I never went to that last Metro concert in December 2000. Thing is I love going to Asia also for backpacking & mountain climbing in the Himalaya (but they never played there ) and that takes some budget also… And there’s another thingy also, I can’t stand big crowds anymore. I went to tons of concerts, festivals and rock shows in the old days, but I’m way more into the intimate shows now. Does it count when I say there’s no day passing by I’m not listening to Smashing Pumpkins? For my job I have to travel quite a lot by car, and my car is stuffed with Pumpkins songs, mainly live shows I downloaded. I just need my Pumpkins fix EVERY day (quote from Netphoria website )!Yeah I was surprised to hear how good she is now actually! Funny thing is also, I have Hand Of Doom already, a Black Sabbath tribute band CD. Melissa sings on it and I promised myself to keep an eye on her. Silly me, I forgot about it, and it’s a pleasant surprise to re-discover her!
Sorry guys, my mistake. SPFC.org calls it a DVD with that pic.

Yeah, if you could send in scans of it, would be cool!
Wow, look at this guys, the same type of thread is going on at some place called Netphoria. I think that’s the name. This is some stuff from their member elektriksouls.

It’s on the floor, the picture was taken from the left side and rotated 90 degrees. This creates a strange effect as if the picture was taken alongside a wall

Amongst it I see the other type of the Billy Corgan solo DVD single, I thought only this version existed!http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=1928

you mean those old ones? (demo cuts, for example)[/quote:30u3jrz1]
Yeah… I got to know them about half a year ago when an American collector of those "demo cuts" send in pics from his collection.or are there more recent examples?[/quote:30u3jrz1]
No idea… Do we know where the Machina’s are being made? And think of it, when we find out here those "new" MCIS vinyls we are discussing here ARE booties…Yay!

)[/quote:156ttq9z]
I do care about MCR, as you probably read somewhere else on this forum. I’m about to sell this place to their fanclub…Another little celebration with a 5:
Recently we’ve added that many items to SPfreaks.com, we now have reached over 5,000 images on the whole Collection website! As we speak we are on 5,013. But believe me, it’s going to be tons more as there are still piles of CDs and other stuffs waiting to be uploaded!
Cool huh…
ArthurTsss… Sorry to bother you guys. You can forget about it again.
After asking this question here I refreshed the Amazon page and suddenly 2 extra copies for 13.99 US$ each appeared on it. I bought 1 of them…
It looks like a pretty normal auction to me manillascissor. And why call it an unrealistic price when you paid almost 100 US$ more for the same item?
\"Bid History
eBay has changed how bid history information is displayed for higher-priced items. To help keep the eBay community safe, enhance bidder privacy, and protect our members from fraudulent emails, only you and the seller of the item can view your User ID in bid history. Other members will see anonymous names.\"
That’s why the nicks appear as \"u***m\" and \"t***1\". Behind the *** is their real nick… Also based on the number of bidders, I would still call it a realistic auction.
But you could still be right of course. I haven’t been bidding on those higher priced eBay auctions for a long while, so I’m not that much experienced anymore to see those patterns. The latest auction I just won last night is a promo compilation called \"Expand-O – Album Network CD Tune Up 16\" for 3 bucks only (I was the only bidder)… With the recent Euro-US$ exchange rates that’s close to nothing!
So I’m very curious what eBay replies to your story!but try it again, but with all your other stuff!
[/quote:2ewt37ei]
No. Read my lips. NO! 1 more time doing all this again and I will smash all my silver discs to the wall & sell this website to the My Chemical Romance fanclub. For 1 buck. Then I’ll commit suicide.
(But instead you’re happily invited to photoshop it all together, and repost it here
)and by the way, i just realised something. on your ‘adore’s they usually have black/no stickers saying ‘smashing pumpkins’. however, in some of the HMV’s i’ve vistited i’ve noticed that the sticker is a pale brown/creamy white colour, not black. my Adore has the black sticker and no, i’m not going to buy this different stickered version because i really need to keep my money for something else. i was just wondering if anyone else was aware of this, and if this little bit of info was useful? (i checked the collection, and have not found an Adore that has been stickered like this)[/quote:2ewt37ei]

Cool info, did not know about this release. Thanks Arthur![/quote:2qq844ig]
For some reason I beat you anyway. List on page 1 of this thread is updated also by the way. And I read somewhere the sales for Zeitgeist are 800,000 in the US by now, which could mean it turns Platinum by the end of the year.http://www.spfreaks.com/?page=COLLDETAILS&item=1912
