    You're just going to get the thread locked, or worse a ban, with that kind of talk, there' s really no need for it.......

    Ill be honest with you... thats my first preview of those 2... and they sound TERRIBLE :(

    hopefully thats not the finished mix or theres some redeeming quality not in the clips

    looks like backspacer might be as front-loaded as their past 2 albums...

    WOW!!! to each his own but those clips have made me more excited than anything in 10 years. I like all the albums in different ways but those songs seem to have a chance to really stand out. I like everything I'm hearing from Backspacer. It seems they are riding the momentum they picked up from the Avocado.

    Before you say I'm missing a lot, I'm willing to wager I've listened to Vitalogy and No Code more than you.

    Yeah, I wouldn't go THAT far if I were you. Don't let the post count OR the date of join fool you. :)

    Actually, by looking at your age, I guess I should have expected the "I'm a bigger fanboi than you" attitude.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    Here's a grand idea... Love a band because YOU love them!!!
    Not because they have 5 top 20 hits off every album... All their albums have gone platinum... Tickets are impossible to get... They are everywhere promoting themselves... The lead singer is hot...

    Why don't we all come up with our own ideas instead of listening to the greater half of the population... Having fame or being famous doesn't exist without other's minds.

    I was just talking to someone last night who said his favorite Pearl Jam song was Parachutes. This guy wasnt a die hard fan either. I guess a song that came out in 2006 is outdated.

    I'm sorry I clicked on this guy's post. He is so dead wrong.
    I went back and looked at some of his earlier posts to see what his deal is....
    He thinks Strangest Tribe is their best song ever, and he thinks No Code is their worst album.

    Do you respect those opinions?

    I really like Strangest Tribe!!

    I completely agree, let's say it was true that they are no longer relevant and that 99% of the music listening population doesn't know anything past Jeremy, would it really change how much I love their music? Not really.
    I work with people that dont care much for them and the only thing they can quote for me is the 1992 unplugged :? and think I'm stuck in the 90's :lol: that's ok though :D

    Show me a band that has such captivating and socially-questioning lyrics, with the ability to make you breakdown into tears with 20,000 other people, with members that want to do what they love and know but never wanted the fame, that still has the ability to dish out amazing live shows, that actually care about and respect their fan-base... Then maybe I could back them as well but I have yet to find one that could have as big of an impact on my life.

    I don't know,man. I think you need to view music and art as something that has no real timeframe. Pearl Jam moves with the times just like the rest of us. Maybe you just don't really like them...or maybe you don't really like yourself. It's not a good thing to see stuff in a jaded light. Good luck, bro.

    The dresses look rather flow-y and very comfortable. And the hair- Urs and I are right on track then... I don't mind sharing with you either!!!

    The only line I may question is "not doing it for the fame."

    I think most bands want to become famous at one point - or at every point in their career.
