    when you start with saying they are anything at all like the JB's is when your argument lost all steam with me.

    are you fucking serious with that shit ?

    Yes, because thats what commercialism looks like.

    Fine, if you want to see Pearl Jam whored out like the Jonas Brothers, than knock yourself out. I myself don't want to see cardboard cutouts of the band next to an airport terminal (true story about the Jonas Brothers), on every other billboard at tram stops (also true), having an ad cover a whole bus or tram (also true), being pimped on every award show and of course always having TARGET (or, in the JB's case, DISNEY) associated with their name, than thats fine. Sure. The Jonas Brothers have a lot of freedom. Thats what I want for Pearl Jam, a lack of freedom for increased advertising!!

    Yes, I know its not that bad, but I'm just saying thats what it can turn in to. There's no reason they can't head down that path.

    If Pearl Jam can do no wrong, ever, even if they're being hypocritical, than fine, lets just go along with everything they do without criticism. Blind faith. Cool. NO.

    I'm allowed to have an opinion just as much as you; if you have a problem maybe you should get off the internet, get a job, and enjoy the music. :P

    Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) you don't get a vote. Might as well get used to reality, because there's nothing you can do about it. Bitching solves nothing.

    Yeah, selling records is bad.

    If I am not mistaken, I think I have seen advertising for all their records previously. The advertising is just a little different now.

    ok lets not get crazy. they are NOT going to be the next jonas brothers. first of all, their fanbase is not 13 year old girls.

    second of all ... their music retains its integrity, despite what you angst-ridden, anti-corporation, leftover gen-Xer's might think.

    metallica and foo fighters for starters.

    Well, that's an opinion, I guess. But really?

    metallica had a "comeback album" in death magnetic and it easily totally destroyed load, reload, st anger, etc. can you really say backspacer is (x) times better than avocado, riot act, and binaural?

    Since when is advertising a bad thing?

    Advertising vacuous, clichèd, unimaginative pop shite specifically directed at young children IS NOT the same thing as advertising normally.

    Jonas Brothers my arse.

    Still though, a PJ version of that "Ring On My Finger" south park song would be pretty funny 8-)

    everything Foo Fighters have released since Color/Shape has sounded exactly the same to me. the Foos are a prime example of a band that take ZERO chances.

    just my opinion.

    Man this thread is going from funny and positive to really negative quickly

    But the SP Jonas episode was classic
    ...got a mind full of questions and a teacher in my soul...

    true, but they still rock harder than backspacer/avocado. also just my opinion.

    People can discuss Metallica and other bands in the Other Music forum.

    Derailing threads is not ok. See Posting Guidelines above.
