    Funny I was never into music before PJ. I was 14 when the Jeremy video hit and I thought boy I haye the way my girl friend is looking at him. I hate this guy. Broke up with the girl and while driving along the beach leadbetter came on and blew me away. I ran out and bought 10 and couldnt find the song on thier. So I bought every single they had out and came across it finaly. Funny how things turned out. The girl didnt last but the music did. So leadbetter got me hooked on PJ for life.

    I saw the even flow video on MTV in junior high.... then my older brother got me 'Ten' for xmas 92, which was a surprise because he didn't own the CD himself and I never asked for it. (most likely some of his buddies were hyping it up and he knew I liked the Even Flow/Alive/Jeremy videos.)

    Which brings me to an interesting thought. It seems 80% of the fans on here became fans during 11-14 years of age. How crazy is it that such young kids can have such good taste in music??? Look at kids nowadays, it is a complete 360. Justin Bieber anyone?? And why does it seem that our age group latched onto this band much more than people who were 21 - 26 when 'Ten' was released? Was it because the music was past their 'time', meaning they listened to Poison for so many years, they couldn't make the switch in tastes....

    This is very interesting. I would agree with you on this...I got into them around 2000 or 2001 so I was 14 or 15. What you're saying makes sense if you think about it. You hit the nail on the head with this one.

    I remember coming home from college around 91-92, and my brother playing TEN. He was a senior in HS. Black was the song that did it for me. Picked up Vs the day it came out at East Brook Mall in Willimantic, listened to it nonstop.

    I had heard PJ on the radio when I was younger, but I didn't get into them until a bus trip in high school when my PJ-crazed friend put Vitalogy in her walkman, slammed the headphones on my ears and told me I wasn't taking them off until I'd listened to the whole album. During that first listen, "Bugs" stood out the most. :mrgreen: I bought Ten not long after that, and the rest is history!

    I would say the Alive and Evenflow videos on MTV turned me on as I said I have to see this band live. I thought is was great that they used live videos for the first two songs they put out. It really captured them as a lightning in a bottle a complete team effort.
