    from what i've read in the past, that guy deliberately baits people because he likes the anger balls being hurled at him. he did it recently by bagging fat freddy's drop which upset a lot of people.

    the fact that he freely admits to liking pj's stuff, and then backtracks "uh, some of it" makes the piece weaker than his wrists.

    Why would anyone care what this guy says, anyway? Besides his opinions are dumb and he sounds like an old person trying to be cool.

    "I think a lot of fans got wrapped up in Pearl Jam's "fight the man" stance for going to bat against Ticketmaster; for their fan-fetishist ideal of releasing almost every single show they have ever done on CD. There's really no need for that when so many of their songs sound the same anyway. Just owning the studio releases would create enough double-up."

    This fella has no clue...Was PJ hounding him so much that he really needs to be happy they are taking a break?

    First of all, WTF is wrong with this guy ?
    "one-trick-pony of a band" ????
    Offensive right off the goddamn bat.
    I don't even think I want to read the rest of the article.
    He'll get the response out of me he's looking for.
    unfortunately.
    That's what he wants.

    OK I DID read the rest, you knew it, I knew it..I can't help it...

    and this:

    "But there's nothing by the band I deem essential; no time-capsule moments. I think they have been very lucky to stick around, essentially gimmick-free, for two decades. And they obviously work hard, power to them for that. But they make crappy music - mostly. And nothing special has been added to the canon from Vedder and his gang."

    Is such a piece of crap I can't even begin to fathom where this Ahole is coming from.(ha i don't even talk like that...but geeezuuzz)

    What a complete F&^k this guy is.

    I was afraid someone on the board will find this.;) He is doing this all the time, as Doompony said - deliberatly baiting people. Just read how he insulted Metallica fans. When Mark Lanegan was in NZ, he praised him by insulting every grunge band, in a very hurtful way. The only not so insulting line was this: 'Eddie Vedder is growing old gracefully - but he's just not that good.' :lol::lol::lol:
    He is baiting, that's all.

    Dear world,

    please ignore the rantings of a bored old man trying to be hip. as Ms Doompony has said, simon sweetman is always baiting baiting baiting, he loves to create a bit of controversy

    considering the popularity of pearl jam's last two concerts in NZ (30,000 each, don't know if that sounds small to rest of world but for here that's a decent number) I personally think simon sweetman should shut the fuck up. I don't give a rats arse if he likes Vs or not. why would anyone find what he has written interesting?? in my opinion, it is just his boring, ancient-man point of view

    yours truly
  • TroubledSoulTroubledSoul Posts: 1,369
    haha "all been".

    but seriously the only thing sadder than some random bloke that no one knows, writing a baiting piece of negative "blog", is that people on here are getting fired up over it. who cares.. go put on a boot and close his window.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    "Angela #137 06:37 am Jul 16 2010

    See, I think Ten was their best album, certainly my favourite. I was in high school when I discovered Pearl Jam, I stopped buying their albums (along with many others) when they burned the US flag on stage during a concert post 9/11 (there are better ways to show you are against the war in Iraq/the invasion of Afganistan). I still listen to their music - it reminds me of my wild, mis-spent youth. Oh - they are FANTASTIC live! So I guess I disagree with you."

    when did that happen?
  • geckogecko Posts: 1,712
    That's why nobody bought Riot Act!
    Just kidding. Who knows what is in her head. Apparently she knows the facts even.:roll: Oh no, after 9/11.
    Probably mix with RATM 1999.

    I think she has them confused with someone else. I am certain that NEVER happened. No doubt that Eddie took a beating in the press from the ultra-right for his open opposition to Dubya's stupid and pointless Iraqi vendetta, but he and the rest of the band LOVE this country and the ideals we like to believe it stands for and hate the way all of it was shit on by Dubya and his cronies. But burn the flag? No way!

    Maybe, but based on my understanding of what actually happened (and I grant that I was not there), it would be a gross misrepresentation to say anything even remotely akin to flag burning occurred. But I guess some people believe everything they hear on Fox News (the undisputed home of gross misrepresentations).

    Simon Sweetman is a fat pastey white ginger who thinks he's all that cos he does reviews on Good Morning. :lol:

    I'm glad he doesn't like or get PJ. Why would we want to share them with an ass like that???

  • Back_PedalBack_Pedal Posts: 1,171
    In some ways, I can see where this person is coming from. It's the reason I don't listen to Vs. or Riot Act too often, because a lot of the songs on them don't sound terribly unique or stand out from the rest of their work. But thought they've been heading off into Generica the past few years, I'd say they did a good job of evolving and growing from Ten through to Binaural. Those two albums by themselves can show that they aren't a one-trick pony.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    for a split second i thought he used to write for salient and i thought that i always agreed with him. then i realised that i was thinking of samboy. then i thought he often gave pj good reviews. them i realised i had him mixed up with shaun chait. then i realised simon sweetman is a baity weirdo and for a professional journalist, that's really really pathetic.

    My sentiments exactly. I would second guess any thoughts or opinions that I shared with this douche of a bag

    "...the band's rather limited range." :lol:

    Ten - Vitalogy - No Code - Binarual - Backspacer: What about that range?

    Edit: This is even funnier:

    "That line from Rearviewmirror I used above ("all been, all been") sounds like "soy bean, soy bean""

    Um, maybe it doesn't sound like "all been, all been" because that's not what it says?

    Overall, the article just scream provocations and as far as I see makes no point except the good ol' "I liked them in the early 90s but their new stuff sucks" argument? Sorry dude, been there done that.

    And as far as the "not a good live band goes" - I'm sure your cover version of Better Man is much more of a crowd pleaser... :lol:

    And now I'm kicking myself in the balls for even reacting to that piece of crap. Damn me. :twisted:
