I hate to be the one who starts another rumor thread...but on my way home from work today, I heard Mark Madden say on The X, "So I hear Pearl Jam may be coming to Pittsburgh..." or something very similar. He then made a joke about having to pretend to be excited about this news since he works at The X and they are an alternative station. I tried to call in but couldn't get through...


So...thoughts...?

BTW, I searched, and didn't see this posted elsewhere.

    I sent an email when I got home...doubtful I will get a response, but I figured I could at least inquire as to what the source might have been.

    My theory....Mark Madden is an asshole? :? :lol: (Man I hate that guy...)

    But yeah, if this happens my bank account will be so, so sad.

    This is true, most likely after the weekend sales if they are strong, 10c will announce that 2 new shows added- Pitt on 5/12 and Boston II on 5/18

    This is not in dispute. But what would prompt him to say that, of all things? There has to be some reason; it's not as if he comes on the air every day to talk about how much he hates Pearl Jam.

    I hope you are right and they come to Pittsburgh it has been 4 long years and even though I will see them in Cleveland it would be great to hear. I called Tenclub and they said they could not confirm or deny a Pittsburgh show.....

    Haha...yeah I wasn't disputing the weirdness of it...just sayin! :lol:
    I have no idea what to expect at this point, so I've just stopped expecting anything. It will be an awesome bonus if they come here, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

    I hate that super-idiot. It's too bad he talks so much on his show when he really needs to just shut up and play some music.

    I emailed Abby (who comes on after Mark) to ask if this was a legit rumor or not.

    it is legit....it has been legit since before the shows were announced. i caught wind of some "communication" with venues here at work one day about two weeks ago. i made threads about it... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=124953

    plus a little more to add, tim benz was talking about pj alot this morning and played wishlist and even flow.

    my opinion is also that madden is an a douche-nozzel. i mean the whole "rude to the listener shock jock" thing is kinda stale...

    as for pj in pgh, as i was driving home today my sis called me and said she had just heard on dve (this would have been about 5p) that they we're very interested in comin back (which i think we knew) but hockey playoff scheduling conflicts blah blah...

    my thoughts here: wasnt it possible that they were contacting starlake too? i thought our young friend who posted above me was onto that, yes? so i guess they just couldnt quite fit the puzzle together

    beyond that she also mentioned that the radio stated this was a problem in more cities than just here...perhpas detroit? others? i mean cities with good hockey/basketball right now are semi in flux re:arena usage. playoff scheds are kind of a big variable at the moment. i mean i want pj to come back but i'll get my fix in cleveland, buffalo, etc and keep the winning tradition goin here at home!!! :lol:
    and fuck me if I say somethin you dont wanna hear, fuck me!
    and fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear
    fuck me...if I care...but im not leavin here
