Did Pearl Jam Sell-out?

RYRY Posts: 3
edited October 2009 in The Porch
Most may ignore it, but last night for the opening credits of the Yankee/Angels game Pearl Jam was featured opening the game. Normally this does not faze me; however, it was on FOX. In essence, Pearl Jam sponsored both baseball (which I am fine with) and the FOX network.

So I think they finally sold-out.

What do you all think?

    I think the term "sold-out" is meaningless and everyone defines it to suit their own delusion of what the band should be.

    The band has always remained true to their own moral compass, and at the end of the day, I don't really give a shit. I want them to keep making great music and putting on "EPIC" live concerts.

    All this high school media/unrealistic fan driven sell out talk is total crap. IMO.

    Fox News and Fox are completely different things if thats what you mean.

    Do you think the same TV programmers let Bill O'Reilly spew and Family Guy spew? I don't think so.

    the band sold out as soon as they signed with Epic
    Thats a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?

    one cannot sell-out if one is already a millionaire.

    they have the right to do whatever the hell they want with their music. This sell-out talk is so dated. enough already, you angst-ridden child of the 90s.
    Jam out with your clam out.

    I don't like these "sell-out" threads or discussions. Why shouldn't PJ members get compensated for their craft? They've earned it. There's nothing wrong with good business. The more success, press, airplay, that Pearl Jam gets, the better they are able not only to make more money for themselves etc., but the more they can enhance their own stellar efforts in charity work, fundraising, etc. They have shown they know how to give back to their community and their causes.

    Whenever I hear this "sale" out nonsense, Tool's Hooker with a Penis comes to mind.

    All you know about me is what Ive sold you,
    Dumb fuck.
    I sold out long before you ever heard my name.

    I sold my soul to make a record,
    Dip shit,
    And then you bought one.

    So Ive got some
    Advice for you, little buddy.
    Before you point your finger
    You should know that
    Im the man,
    If Im the fuckin man
    Then youre the fuckin man as well
    So you can
    Point that fuckin finger up your ass.

    Not directing this at you OP, just saying that we are all sell-out's one way or another....

    sale-out?? really?? :roll:

    yes they sold-out in 1991 when they signed with sony/epic
  • gfrasergfraser Posts: 686
    i dont think the term sold out is applicable these days. i think it comes down to the band being money hungry, and why shouldnt they be? they are cashing in after all those years of turning it away, they have families to worry about. i say go for it!

    the deal is likely with MLB,
    not Fox .
    No ?

    What do you all think?

    I don't think this makes them sell-outs at all.

    Here are some things that I think might make them sell-outs.

    - Ten and Backspacer being downloadable albums on guitar hero
    - Big Verizon text message screens at concerts last year
    - The fact that they charge more than Metallica for concert tickets

    you're also about 3 months late with this post. The first time any part of The Fixer was heard by the public, was during the MLB All-Star game, also on Fox.
    words seem so out of place.
