PJ never released an album with the possibly the worst lyrics of any album ever written (St. Anger).
And I love Metallica. But St. Anger was just inexcuseable. Why they thought that Lars should write some lyrics after all this time is beyond me. Maybe their therapist thought it would be a good idea. :?
I've never been a Metallica fan. It seems they started roots with one form of music and slowly found the sound that paid.
Aerosmith is a good example of Metallica. Aerosmith hasn't wrote a song that wasn't a ballad to a 13 year old girl in 20 years.
PJ makes it a point to embrace their fans. They read this message board (see setlist of MSG2).
They have made albums that at the time the hardest of core fans are like..."what?". Only to realize 10 years later, hey they just grew. I didn't grow till now.
They write music about their lives and fights.
I love PJ because they really love me (see every concert they do).
"Honesty will always be construed as negative to a dumbass"
:-)
MetClub is pretty darn good which rivals if not exceeds TenClub.
I love both, am a member of both, and you get what you pay for. TenClub is definately closing in, especially with the new memberships... but MetClub does have a Meet & Greet raffle for every show.
PJ - Sydney 1998; Sydney 2003; Sydney, Melbourne, Newcastle 2006; Melbourne, Sydney 2009; Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney 2014.
EV - Canberra, Newcastle, Sydney 2011; Sydney 2014.
Let me preface what i'm gonna say with this. I think everything black album and before was really good. And i'm by no means a metal head but they managed what few metal bands can do which is cross the border into my music tastes. That being said i think PJ is by far a better band in my opinion of course (art is objective as you know) some of the things i think pearl jam does better than metallica are the following.
1. Create a wide and diverse discography in which no one album sounds like any other one they've ever released.
2. Amazing lyrics. i sincerely believe Ed (and other members) write some of the most interesting and honest lyrics i've ever heard.
3. I feel like the band is full of genuinely sweet and awesome dudes. something about the guys being genuine makes me feel like what theyre performing is from the heart and helps me connect more.
4. I think that a lot of people say i love all of pj's albums are awesome because i'm obsessed but i think i'm obsessed because pearl jam's albums are amazing. I've never felt that way towards any other band ever.
5. I feel like the point of each of pj's concerts is to connect to the fans. even if i get shit seats i feel like eds trying to get everyone to have a blast. and i've never seen metallica live but from what i've seen on youtube they seem more obsessed with this rockstar persona thing which i dont dig.
if i thought about it longer i probably could think of more but this is what came to mind immediately. Plus i really have no issue against metalicca just def not my fave band
speaking as a child who shouldve have been a teen in the 90's
... throwing their fans under the bus like Lars...
I have never heard that expression, but you have to agree, that it doesn't resonate well with Metallicas past... :geek:
my choice for your company letter:
"Death Magnetic only sounds good on Lars Ulrichs car stereo"
(I actually think that's a hilarious thing to say! You know, with all that bashing how bad the album sounds compared to the Guitar Hero downloads and he just goes "it sounds good on my car stero"...lol)
Doesn't what band is better just come down to personal preference and opinion? As in- I like PJs music more, therefore they are better than Metallica. And I like PJ live because Metallica live does nothing for me. And I like the guys from PJ more, because from my perspective, Metallica is a bunch of d-bags.
How can one argue pure preference and opinion? That kind of seems to be the point of the 10 Reasons PJ is Better Than Metallica vs. 10 Reasons Metallica is better than Pearl Jam.
The only reason I even comment, is it seems people cannot share their opinion without being completely shit on.
I agree with what you have said. As I mentioned in previous posts, they are my 2 fave bands and I really can't say I like one more than the other. However, when I see people bagging Metallica with comments that are not true, ie. commom public misconceptions about Metallica which people hear through media/friends, then I will defend them.
Pearl Jam never wrote the lyric "Give me fuel, give me fire, give me that which I desire..."
Yuuuuuuck.

I was joking about owning an M3 and I was making fun of car tough guys. I own the car in my avatar.
At first I thought you meant you've owned every generation M3. then I realize you meant "beat". What vette? C5, C6? My uncles had a bunch and my cousins are all muscle car guys, so i've heard enough talk about 'merican muscle that I can take in my life.
I'd really like an E30 or E46 M3.
I meant it all in fun too. While I was in college I worked at Thunder Racing building some of the fastest GM powered cars in the world (literally, we held 6 world records while I was there) so a lot of my friends and associates are "car guys (and girls)", and these conversations are an everyday occurrence.
I've owned everything from Trans Am's to a C4, 2 C5's and now I'm on my 2nd C6. It's a 2010 with a stroked 427 and a Procharger supercharger with a modified pully and crank pushing around 7.5 psi. It dyno'ed an uncorrected 764 rwhp with 770 tq. I haven't had a chance to run it at the track since the Procharger was added, but I know it's pulled past my previous Vette which ran consistent 10.80's on drag radials.
It's very rare that I get to talk about my other passion on the PJ board, so I kinda try and find excuses sometimes. It's like when I'm over at LS2.com and get even the slightest opportunity to talk about PJ, you know I gotta go off.

Wow, thats freakin insane. How can you even handle something like that? I dont even know if I can handle 400 hp! Is that supercharger a roots type or centrifugal? I have a roots supercharger in my MINI and I can never get enough of the sound. I installed an intake on it and all you hear when you floor it is the supercharger whine, god I love it.
I totally agree with you about the two passions here. Cars and music for me too. I was always surprised no one here ever talks about cars. Maybe I'll start a "car guy" thread.
2) Pearl Jam stopped making videos when they got big (at least for a while) and their music matured--Metallica went the MTV route and their music has never been the same--all downhill after the Black Album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHVv7Mz2_Bo
3) While Pearl Jam was trying to make affordable high quality full concert bootlegs available for fans, Metallica was suing Napster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS6udST6lbE
8) Give me fuel, give me fire? Frankly--both are great live bands. Though only one of the lead singers from these bands was dumb enough to set himself on fire while performing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ_4-evwimk
10) 1991--The year that Pearl Jam released Ten and then followed it up with 8 more great to classic albums--it was also the last year that Metallica released an album worth listening to (i.e. the Black Album). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0mhrqfeFjQ

Can you imagine Eddie Vedder shopping at Armani? http://www.themetalinquisition.com/2008 ... ption.html Yes I could. He's worth $80mil. He's not shopping at KMart. Also again....at least there isn't a Hetfield pot holder
While Pearl Jam was trying to make affordable high quality full concert bootlegs available for fans, Metallica was suing Napster. Did you read any of the rest of this thread? Metallica had a free tapers section for as long as I can remember. They encouraged free trading of their shows. They currently have available a full download of every show they have played since 2004 as well as numerous vault shows for free. Last time I bought fan club tickets, I got a FREE download of the show I went to. They sued Napster because their music, and everyone else's music, was being stolen.
Oh the hypocrisy! Metallica fired a founding band member due to drug/alcohol problems (i.e., Dave Mustaine) while Pearl Jam saves their own http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_You, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_McCready Really dude? Read some of biographies about early Metallica and then comment on why Mustaine was kicked out of the band. This is your weakest point yet. I guess it's ok to kick someone out of your band for actually enjoying being famous?

1. Eddie's not exactly wearing ripped flannel shirts these days either.
2. Hey man, a lot people my age (27) got into Metallica BECAUSE of that "crappy" Load/ReLoad era. I literally knew every word to ReLoad before I ever heard of Ride The Lightning. You could imagine how mind-blowing it was getting into their back-catalog in my first year or so as a fan.
3. Oh the old napster argument. Let me rescue you from 1999 and say that there are presently over 20 live concerts available for FREE download on Metallca.com. For free, you can download some low-quality (but historic) shows with Cliff or you can get crystal-clear soundboards from the 90's. I've never gotten anything for free from Pearl Jam.
4. I'm not sure that Lars is an Oasis "groupie". I think he's just friends with the band. See some people in bands are friends with people in other bands. Weird right?
5. Oh fuck Mustaine. He was threatening to derail the band's potential success with his violent, drunken ways. PJ was the biggest band in the world when Mike had his troubles. Of course they're not going to just kick him out.

It's a centrifugal system, and I totally agree about the supercharger whine. Sometimes it's a battle between music or the motor.
And I'm definitely in on the car thread. That way I can stop hijacking other people's threads

Me too I got into them when Until it Sleeps came out. Worked my way backwards from Load and on the first few listens of Puppets and Justice, I couldn't stand faster, heavier stuff. I'd like to go back and slap the pathetic out of me. Still a big fan of Load though. Great rock album.

Well I actually prefer the fast stuff, the first two albums in particular. But either way, that's a point in Metallica's favor. The 90's Metallica is really a different band than the 80's Metallica. Where some would say "Yeah but they sucked in the 90's!", I would say, "Hey, at least they tried different things" and as is the case with you, some people prefer 90's Metallica.

I meant it all in fun too.

I've owned everything from Trans Am's to a C4, 2 C5's and now I'm on my 2nd C6. It's a 2010 with a stroked 427 and a Procharger supercharger with a modified pully and crank pushing around 7.5 psi. It dyno'ed an uncorrected 764 rwhp with 770 tq. I haven't had a chance to run it at the track since the Procharger was added, but I know it's pulled past my previous Vette which ran consistent 10.80's on drag radials.

1) Can you imagine Eddie Vedder shopping at Armani?

4) Lars Ulrich is an Oasis groupie whereas Eddie Vedder is a Neil Young groupie. Sorry Gallagher brothers, Neil is way cooler than you blokes.
http://thequietus.com/articles/00357-me ... incident--
5) Oh the hypocrisy! Metallica fired a founding band member due to drug/alcohol problems (i.e., Dave Mustaine) while Pearl Jam saves their own http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_You, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_McCready
6) One word: Mullets. Maybe they were just victims of the 80s, but really is there an excuse for these hairdos?
http://www.fortunecity.co.uk/southbank/ ... ling1.html
7) Press shots--seriously do the gents in Metallica think they are scaring anyone: http://www.wired.com/listening_post/200 ... metallica/ -- versus Pearl Jam who have always found a way to not fall victim to cheesy rock star cliche: http://grungereport.net/?p=1530
8) Give me fuel, give me fire? Frankly--both are great live bands. Though only one of the lead singers from these bands was dumb enough to set himself on fire while performing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ_4-evwimk
9) Some kind of monster--airing dirty laundry is never cool, and most certainly not "rock and roll"

10) 1991--The year that Pearl Jam released Ten and then followed it up with 8 more great to classic albums--it was also the last year that Metallica released an album worth listening to (i.e. the Black Album). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0mhrqfeFjQ
1. Eddie's not exactly wearing ripped flannel shirts these days either.
2. Hey man, a lot people my age (27) got into Metallica BECAUSE of that "crappy" Load/ReLoad era. I literally knew every word to ReLoad before I ever heard of Ride The Lightning. You could imagine how mind-blowing it was getting into their back-catalog in my first year or so as a fan.
3. Oh the old napster argument. Let me rescue you from 1999 and say that there are presently over 20 live concerts available for FREE download on Metallca.com. For free, you can download some low-quality (but historic) shows with Cliff or you can get crystal-clear soundboards from the 90's. I've never gotten anything for free from Pearl Jam.
4. I'm not sure that Lars is an Oasis "groupie". I think he's just friends with the band. See some people in bands are friends with people in other bands. Weird right?
5. Oh fuck Mustaine. He was threatening to derail the band's potential success with his violent, drunken ways. PJ was the biggest band in the world when Mike had his troubles. Of course they're not going to just kick him out.

It's a centrifugal system, and I totally agree about the supercharger whine. Sometimes it's a battle between music or the motor.
And I'm definitely in on the car thread. That way I can stop hijacking other people's threads

You realize this is all for sport, don't you?
Yes...and when you stopped to tell me that I went right past you for the score. So I'm winning.

OK--good just want to make sure I wasn't hurting your feewings.
Me too
No dude not at all. I just vehemently disagree with your statements. I find them ridiculous.

Well I actually prefer the fast stuff, the first two albums in particular. But either way, that's a point in Metallica's favor. The 90's Metallica is really a different band than the 80's Metallica. Where some would say "Yeah but they sucked in the 90's!", I would say, "Hey, at least they tried different things" and as is the case with you, some people prefer 90's Metallica.

Great points--perhaps I should consult NASA science in the future before posting on a message board about rock music.
