Thats it exactly, if your not a fan of the music, thats cool, but if your hating just because its the trend, thats whats annoying.
It's actually kind of funny. Because in the scope of relevance, PJ is STILL well behind G 'n R (PJ is by far my favorite. I'm just pointing out the humour in some of the posts).
Also, regarding the having to play clubs instead of arenas (and not by choice as it is) - Chinese Democracy has far outsold Backspacer. Even after all those years and personnel changes. If PJ went away and came back with Ed, Boom and 4 other guys, how would the record sell?
Anway, none of this is about talent or music or anything else. As I said, I love PJ much more than G n' R (though the experience is so much different that it's comparing pineapples and Red hots). But, some folks need a reality check when they make some of the comments they do.
To me G 'n R, Black Crowes and PJ were the heirs to the Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones and The Who, respectively, legacies. I'm not equating the talent (hell, PJ is no Who). But, their place in their generations and musical style. The latter were introduced to me in my childhood by my older brothers (along with many others), the former were introduced to me directly in High School and College and seemed like the (almost too) perfect segues.
Well said.
I'm sure that if PJ decided to do a club tour, it would be praised as a "return to roots" by the same people who blast Axl for "not selling any tickets". Personally, I think it's a really cool tour to do. Despite what anyone thinks of the band, they're putting on a 3 hour plus show every night that is full of energy and kicks ass. Can't really fault them for that.

Which is made even more impressive since the guitarist Ron Bumblefoot Thal shouldn't even be playing due to a serious neck/spinal injury, yet he's still toughing it out through the tours. It's true professionalism and dedication.
Thanks EPOTTSIII!
