james iha being iconic for ten minutes

this is a video of musician james iha being iconic for ten minutes. i am kind of lazy so i left out some obvious clips but. i also tried to put more rare footage in. rude comments get deleted because why are you spending your time doing that?

[@DukeSolaire]

He oscillates between looking like the most hipster dude ever and looking like a yakuza boss depending on whether his hair is loose and styled or slicked back.

[@user-ng2qx4xd1b]

one of the most under rated guitarist and musicians of the 90s. hell his distinct sound created so many memories

[@peko9896]

I love the Pumpkins and James' solo stuff. He always seemed so chill and quiet but it's nice to see his goofy side too.

[@meatflu237]

Now I can tell, James Iha is more of a mood than a person

[@MarkNealon]

"Let's all go out and buy fur coats" has been my favourite Simpsons line since before I knew who The Smashing Pumpkins were

[@honkytrousers]

He seems like a guy who doesn’t want to answer a question ever😂

[@8julianhernandez923]

James iha, fuck, literally without this guy these bands would not have progressed, I love the love they have for the guitar. And I like his appearance lol

[@parmasean_eater]

he looks so great with eye makeup on. his solo album is so underrated.

[@nhl041976]

james is one handsome dude, man... still looks so cool and it's a joy to watch how he frets on the guitar. check it out closely.

[@tonysproule3408]

One of the most underrated guitarists of our generation, he can change up his style in a minute..

[@daredevildevotee]

Gee that’s just what I needed. A new person i could become obsessed with. 😭 he is so fucking cute.

[@palenoons]

that's my baby and im proud

[@aksapatsiah8388]

he is most charismatic person in the whole world

[@ToneSherpa]

James has only gotten funnier in his old age.

James seems to be such a down to earth guy....... but with an incredible sense of humor and awesome stage presence.

[@paralyz3dnocturne]

ughh i love him so much literally

[@matildacool3949]

i am in love with him.

[@birdbrain8933]

aren't we all

[@honeyinthesun1667]

Nobody's gonna mention how good he looked in that dress?

[@palenoons]

james looked great in dresses! for sure

[@pumpkinsanonymous8630]

James Iha is a legend.

[@ITIonoxide]

cool to see a fellow gen z following this band in 2021! SP is GOAT. cheers megan!

[@flfreaks3745]

Most zoomers have either Gen X or early millennials parents. If the parents grew up with Smashing pumpkins. I believe some of their parents introduced them to music of their heydays

[@palenoons]

@@flfreaks3745 i'm a millennial, but i can see what you're saying. my parents are a few years older than the members of SP and i'm pretty sure they don't know anything about them. but yeah, it did hit me recently that people in their twenties now have probably been exposed to this band from infancy as their parents were fans. that's wild. time is insane.

[@BrandonToy]

@@palenoonsFor sure. I took my kids to see them just last week.

[@BrandonToy]

I can see how Billy could get n your nerves after a while, but seeing them on stage together last week was awesome. They sounded fantastic too.

[@LJthenerd2760]

I love how more chaotic he gets as the the video progresses 😭😭😭

[@dynjarren8355]

He looks so cool and he’s funny!

[@zomb1eez]

hes adorable

[@richunclejoey2249]

amazing footage..he is such a badass

[@zebmrowka7733]

this vid deserves an award

[@amissasangel]

the echo & the bunnymen one is so true

[@customconcern1]

He’s becoming my favorite guitarist the more I learn pumpkins songs

[@wraith1117]

I don't think James has by many the respect of a rhythm guitar player. The dud has always been solid and has written some great jams. jmho. If I had another project, he'd be the first to jam with.

[@MarkNealon]

He's great but it's really hard for him not to be overshadowed by Billy Corgan. In so many other other great bands he would have been the star

[@a-trainofthought4989]

Hell yeah he wrote mayonnaise

[@palenoons]

it's funny because within (from what i've seen) the SP community (especially while he was not in the band) there have been so many people denying his talent, but within the A perfect circle fans he gets praised all the time. I think Billy's comments had seriously affected peoples point of view of it which is a shame because a lot of what billy said about him was just based in his deep emotional turmoil regarding their friendship and not entirely in truth. oh well. things are coming around for james' reputation

He is the George Harrison of the SP 😊

I NEVER KNEW JAMES MODLE

[@palenoons]

yep! he modeled for anna sui from about 95-98. then he felt too old and quit, but he still remained involved in fashion and still has a clothing line he works with in japan called vaporize.

one time I saw him on the street at SXSW… or maybe it was another Asian guy with long hair.

I think it is one of his Kiss t-shirts but I couldn't tell you for certain, unless I dig around in some photos and make sure. Which i shall probably do
