I splurged for one MSG ticket and that will be my last PJ show. This band lost me with their complete 180 these past few years regarding fan appreciation and just plain "U2ing". That and this happy corporate crap going on with Backspacer (Go compared to a string quartet?). Is there anyone else, I know I cant be alone.

Before I hear all the good riddances and crap you should know my # sucks thanks to a lapse in renewing. Nobody wins and some band member will have to go without breakfast for his family thanks to the loss of $20.

I actually feel like I lost a friend who I knew for 15+ years. Thank you PJ for retroactively destroying all your music for me with you loss of morals. PJ- Living proof that its better to burn out than fade away

    Why would he have to go out breakfast for his family? Don't make yourself feel more important than you actually are...

    I agree in parts. There are alot of 180-stuff that is going on that is disturbing and hard to defend (I'm not complaining about evolving as a band and people but there is a difference in evovling and changing 180)

    But I would not exit the tenclub, even though that orgnaziation is lacking too in to many ways.

    I actually had no problem with the Target deal. It was the ad, them playing for the employees only, etc...
    Most important is the ridiculous increase in tickets it angers me to the core.
    I dunno man it's like finding out your girlfriend who claimed for twenty years to have two legs is actually a former teamster with no legs. Shocking and disapointing at the same time

    Didnt' they have to do this in 2003 as well? Because i paid 35 a ticket then. Enough with the them needing money argument we are talking about one of the most financialy succesful bands EVER! All their shows over 20 years, platinum cds, posters, bootlegs, vinyl, 10c $, and of course the completely neccasary ten reissue deluxe addition, Im sure that was to give back to the fans.

    If you want to piss and moan there is plently of room for you over at http://www.u2.com. I see PJ planting trees and the edge buying a mult-million dollar house. It cost's $50+ to be in their club and pay $90+ for a seat and they are not good. They do not offer floor seats for the lower cost to the fan club, you are forced to pay a premium as part of the fan club and they are much better off financially that PJ. For $20 we get at lot of love. Just saying.

    If they are such sell-outs, why are they donating $210,000 to plant trees in the North West and why did they donate $200,000 for Haiti relief? Did they do that because they are just greedy fucks these days?

    I hear you man but look what we have resorted to, we are comparing PJ with U2 to give them some higher moral ground. That is such a sad change from the past and one I can't deal with. I am to emotionaly invested with this band to watch them destroy the very essence of their music.

    What celebrity and/or musician doesn't support similar causes? Just watch Brüno for examples of that :)

    Look it's not a purely black/white evil/good issue. Yes its very nice they donate to charity, But for all we know that was money gained from the fans paying a required $2 charity fee with every ticket purchase. If they are not greedy (and I believe they are now; its all about levels), then let them give charity purely from their own pockets, which I know I have personally lined with well over $2,000 over the years. I would imagine there are plenty of people who have given more.
