We started talking about music and when I told him PJ was my favorite band he replied "I hate pearl jam, I can't stand that singer". I was startled by his remark. I honestly can say that I don't have as much respect for him anymore. I understand if people think they are ok. But not if you say you hate them. Can anyone relate. It's hard to explain.about a month ago, i got a texxxt from my cuzin who got me into pearl jam. He told me he was seeing the tribute band Vitalogy and i said hey they are a good band! He said "yeah the guy sounds waaaaay better than Eddie does. i cant STAND the way Eddie tries to hard to sing now. Im gladd im not that big of a fan anymore." I couldnt believe my eyes. I just told him that im sorry he felt that way becuz the boys are STILL the best no matter WHAT he thinks and that i will always thank him for getting me into them. He proceeded to tell me that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are MUCH BETTER THAN PEARL JAM. :mad: its safe to say if he was in front of me my fist would have met his face.~~~~~~ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME~~~~~~

. He proceeded to tell me that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are MUCH BETTER THAN PEARL JAM.
that is quite frankly absolutely hilarious.
The Chilis were awesome, the key word being were.
Now they are a constant embarrassment, and their live show is really poor0 -

Don't let it bother you. It's your favorite band, not theirs.
Besides, if everyone loved PJ the way we do, it would suck trying to get tickets. 10C numbers would be in the millions by now.Bright eyed kid: "Wow Typo Man, you're the best!"

If Im in the car and something comes on the radio I get ridiculed.
I, as well, go through this everyday of my life...
But, unfortunately it's not just at work it's everywhere...
Like yourself, everyone knows me as a huge PJ fan and the second I put some on it's like it's been playing for a week straight to some of these donkeys...
All of my best friends are big fans as well, but they are spread out these days, so I get this effing reaction more and more...
God forbid if some should come on Pandora at my desk...33...0 -
Not one of my friends can stand Pearl Jam. I don't even try to convert them. To each their own. I do have a cousin who loves them as much as I do so we travel all over to see them. I actually kind of like it that way. I know that I am not missing out on something they are.Toronto 96, Barrie 98, Toronto 00, Toronto 03, Ottawa 05, Toronto 05, Toronto 06, Toronto 06, Denver 06, Denver 06, Chicago 07, New York 08, New York 08...I'm just getting started0

I can’t believe some of you lose respect for someone because they don’t agree with the music you like and that they actually . . . (shudder at the mere thought) . . . don’t like Ed’s voice.
Give me a break.
If you actually judge people on something as trivial as that, it’s very shallow of YOU.Don't come closer or I'll have to go0 -

I think the problem from the original poster's point of view is that the response was so negative towards PJ and Ed. I kind of agree with you above in that the harsh negative comments about what people enjoy musically is hard to understand. it's cool if someone doesn't like the same music as i do but that doesn't make me dumb or uncool, it is just a different taste. sometimes people act so high-schoolish like this - like if you don't like the group you have to totally put that person down for liking them. get over yourselves and understand that people are into their own things.0 -

disagree. I've found that most "true" punks I meet despise Eddie and Pearl Jam. I think they've never gotten past 10 though.
I use "true" laughingly however, as i find these folks to be pretty musiclaly uninformed for the most part.“I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version.”0 -

Him dissing the boys was just the final act for me. It was a CHOICE not a silly little arms crossed 'im not gonna play with u anymore' deal! He's a chump regardless.i do thank him for showing me the way to the best band ever though.

I don't mind that people don't like/love Pearl Jam as much as I/we do.
But I don't know how people don't at least respect them. They've always done things their way, and even if you don't like the band, or the music, you got to at least respect that. IMO0 -
Being a college student from the Boston area it seems that people usually love pj or hate them. Most people in my neck of the woods around my age are all listening to the newest big thing.. It just bothers me when people that listen to Lil Wayne or The Jonas Brothers call my band terrible. I can relate to all of you-0
