It's amazing how ungrateful the vocal part of the pumpkins community is - obviously something of this size needs to be funded - like anything else - 10 dollars a head is not an unaskable price to pay to talk to Billy - let alone anyone overseas! haha!
What questions are within the paramaters of the "recording" process?
This seems to include questions outside of technical specificity, yeah? Such as, what kind of involvement did darcy and james have in the recording process?
What would you other Ozphorians ask if you had the chance?

Really?
Taking into account what Billy has recently said about the sales of Zeitgeist being commendable in the current american financial situation I suppose institutions like EQ need the money to get something like this going.
It's true that he could have done it for free, in theory, but I don't think 9.95 is too much to ask...
Who else have done it for free?

I dont think they need the money. I think they just want the money and figure people love Billy enough to pay to ask him questions.
Honestly though, i'd read it... but i dont know if i'd ask him anything even if it was free.

The decision might not be his, might just be EQ knowing that some people will be prepared to pay for it.

yeah saw this on thepumpkins.net, with a lot of people complaining how you have to pay. anybody going to do it? Well, we already had the opportunity here, at ozphoria, to ask him any question we wanted to for FREE! True, your question might not get answered once it goes through SP.com and the band, but im guessing not everyone who dials in and pays $9.95 will be able to talk to him anyway....plus we already had an audience with the big man for free! |

... yeah ... I wasn't going to bring that up ... but yeah. We had the chance to ask those questions and few people added their ideas to it.  Hopefully we get transcript of the Q&A ... and hopefully there is another "b0lly" moment! |
