    Seek,
    Find be yourself.
    Don't follow the herd.

    Be yourself.

    My girlfriend in high school liked Blink 182 and Third Eye Blind. I liked Rage Against the Machine and Pearl Jam. Needless to say, it didn't last long....

    I had never bothered to listen to Blink 182 until I read this thread today.
    They really, really don't sound good to me. Not at all.
    It's like something you'd hear in a high school gymnasium.
    Totally lackluster. And their concerts are full of pyrotechnics.
    Ohhhh, so exciting! Look- it's fire! :o

    wow, blink 182 huh. the band where that one guy died in a plane crash. well the crash changed them for the good huh. :roll:

    yeah i do the same thing. at times i'm like whoa, PJ is so good to us compared to other bands.

    recently....
    aerosmith. i don't know why they even tour. they always cancel. i call them cancelsmith now. what a way to treat your fans by canceling all the time.
    the stones are in better shape than them. lol!
    then steve falls off the stage? come on.


    They found one of those guys dead this morning ...DJ AM I believe is his name. Drug overdose

    Shame on me I guess - I really didn't expect the way they presented themselves.

    for Pearl Jam.
    Long story short - I was at a concert last night for a well known, mainstream band (buddy of mine had extra tickets; I wasn't a fan of the band to begin with), the lead singer was incredibly self absorbed....dedicated several songs to his own d*ck (seriously), talked about how great he 'rocked' while on stage, constantly tipped the mike toward the crowd and said, "thank me" and wasn't satisfied until they were "really screaming it", thier light show included digital signs that prompted the audience for "applause", he addressed the crowd early on by telling all the guys in the show that all thier wives and girlfrieds wanted to quote " F him", I could go on....but, basically they stood for absolutely nothing, paraded themselves on stage in an "I'm so unbelieveably great" fashion, and really didn't even have the talent to back any of it up (it wouldn't have justified even if they did). What a disgrace....
    I am so grateful that Pearl Jam means so much more than this 'Rock God' complex. I will admit I don't go to too many shows other than Pearl Jam - so this was a bit of a shock - even so, I couldn't be more proud right now. They have always been my #1 band, I have always loved them, and I have always know that they are real and genuine.....what I didn't realize is just how MUCH alot of todays other bands pale in comparison. That said....I'm ready for the Spectrum in October!!!! :D
    its just all part of there act. i bet mark was saying it in his sarcastic voice like always.


    i used to be a big fan of them until i saw they were charging $275 for a GA vip package at msg on there recent tour.
