im not sure it's completely about money..

also... "you people are retarded" Nice! You're awesome!!! That was so WITTY!! You need to write a book.
Full of witty remarks like that!

you sound like you're a struggling artist in a garage somewhere jealous over everyone else who is successful.

That's like asking a pro baseball player to hang up the cleats and stop playing after 5 years to make room for other players who are working to make it in the league.

When the fact is... the PEOPLE and the FANS want to see that player play until he is done.

This is the music industry.

You make it sound like Pearl Jam should resort to making albums and releasing them by themselves because they already had success... when the reality is that when you do that.... your music doesn't reach out as far. Pearl Jam, I believe, want their music to reach out. They want their music to be attainable. Not just to fans who are on the website... but fans who might go to a store not knowing what to get... and pick out Pearl Jam from an assortment of albums. Pearl Jam want success. Like anyone. Like everyone. With success often comes money... but I highly doubt it's all about money. I think it's more about success.

Imagine making an album. It's one thing to be proud of what you've done and be admired by a small group of people. But it's something different to see how your album measures up. If I was in a band.... be my 1st album, or my 15th... I want to see how well it will do. I want to see how well it will stand up against other albums.

It's the fucking way things are. These guys went to court to fight TicketMaster and you're here calling them greedy.

um, yeah they went to Ticketmaster & lost...nothing happened..but I give props to them for trying but that was 14 years ago? The fact is when you're rich & u remain rich year after year it changes you..I don't care what anyone says...money is the root of all evil. So PJ, yes gives to charities yet only to ones they admire..I mean if Bill Gates & every other wealthy fuck came together & really wanted to help the world & change it, they would. But they give a little here, give a litte there...go on vacation, make some more millions, have the public suck their dicks ...wow what a life!

This from a guy who probably steals FUGAZI's music.

He probably still has a Pamela Anderson poster on his wall from 1994

Yep the good ol'days when the music was free and Baywatch ruled the earth.

'Pearl Jam' get more money for each record because they are doing the service that the record company would do in a normal deal. That they would be paid for.

You want a independent band? try FUGAZI, turned down major label offers years ago & made a real impact w/ original DIY mentality...everyone should be thanking Dischord Records

I've never heard a Fugazi song in my life. I would have never heard of the band name unless I hadn't read Eddie Vedder quotes. Maybe that's why Pearl Jam uses Sony and Target. They actually want people to hear their music.

yeah it was funny at first, but it reminds me of one of my friends who resents me because my parents make more money than she does. it's soooo annoying. my parents used to get food stamps and worked their asses off to get to the point where they can get BMWs. same thing with pearl jam.

ah well... i'll try and find the humor again. i'll just wait for another post

i got your back phil

although now that the queen has been brought in to this im not sure whose side im on

but seriously the first poster really hasnt a clue, yeah they cut a deal, a deal that will save the people who are buying it a few quid, make pearl jam a bit, then theyll give a bit away, and theyll keep touring making them more money, money which some of it will find its way into charitys hands so really its win win
