Not renewing 10c membership because of "SELLING OUT"

Spiritual_Chaos

And I never hold anyone accountable for things they said 20 years ago.

Yeah, and as I stated people evolve but fighting for something hard and vocally and then change direction completely like "it never happend" is not the same thing...

Let's say Vedder becomes a real rightwinged republican and starts to play solo on Fox News - wouldn't you be scared and sort of angry?

their music is getting dangerously close to U2 levels of suckitude, but just when i think they are lost, they add a few great tunes like Severed Hand or Just Breathe.

couldnt care less about thier stances, didnt care back in the day either.

if they dont start touring more, i'll probably get pretty bored with this anyway. we'll see how 2011 goes.

i'll stick around for another album

Kat please lock this thread and erase this mans account, you once said I insulted the band and I will fight to the death that I didn't, but there is no doubt that 3/4 of this guys posts are insulting the band

Spiritual_Chaos

I dig everyone who has normal responses and tries to have a normal discussion.

All the "don't touch my pearl jam" people are scary... how can you take things so personal?

this never would have happened if JACK IRONS were still around!

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

I am truly sorry you feel like this and that is not sarcasm. Comparing this to losing a friend of 15 years I'm sure you must be feeling empty and disappointed. I wouldn't know what I would do if I lost my faith in Pearl Jam. I truly need them, their music gives me peace and strength. I feel they are really good people who care about us and this world. The corporate sellout thing is of no concern to me, I should say its unimportant to me cause I'm not into all that. I have enjoyed each album, they never let down, for me Backspacer is one of the best. I live to see them live and I love the connection to Pearl Jam fans here.
I sincerely hope you find what you are looking for, find some other music to fill the void. Maybe you will decide to give PJ another chance someday, people change things change maybe in the future PJ will work for you again.

This guy knew EXACTLY what he had coming when he started this thread, he gets bashed all the time for saying stuff and knowone ever agrees with him, he enjoys argueing with people, I'm not taking things personaly, I'm saying that this message board is for pearl jam fans NOW, pearl jams music NOW, not 1993, if he dosn't like it then he should leave...NOW

well we can divide PJ fans into "waaaaah-ers" and "baaaaah-ers". crybabies and mindless sheep!

Hey be fair though, 3/4 of his posts have been in the last half hour What a fuss this turned out to be :yawn: Someone just say Dave A was the best drummer and we can get a lock

your signature alone tells me how much of an asshole you are.

Really? So you agree with the signatures that brag about how many shows you have been to, where you sat, if you got backstage, etc? I think those are smug, pretentious and just gay for lack of a better word (Not in a homosexual sense). Certain elitists think they are better because they have been to x # of shows and they love showing it off. I love the OP's signature....it's funny. I also agree with most of his post.

Ive been looking at my past posts and you are completely right, I have been really getting down on the band and kinda angry since they released BS. Which is why I will not renew and noone will give a damn. But my love for dance that will never change

Depends on his music... it Pearl Jam sounds more like the FOX News types, 'Rascal Flatts'... then, yeah... I'll move on. Just like I left Zeppelin after hearing 'Coda'... the Who after hearing 'Face Dances'.
I like music that I like and don't really get into the personel's off stage life. If the band does change as in your example... I'm guessing their music will more than likely reflect the change.
It's words and music I like.
