Let Your Voice Be Heard

Please please could you do the mystery bags again?
I know it was an age ago now but those tote bags with stickers, key rings bouncy balls, CDs etc in them were so cool. They were an accessible price and lower postage to Europe etc.
I know prices would have increased but just getting the little stuff was a lot of fun.

Also, in the drive against single use plastics (and difficult to recycle materials) how about Pearl Jam selling these as merch items -

I think they would be great. I have a Sigg bottle from a few years ago, would be cool to have something like this too

Hope this is the correct place for this.......and I’m sure I’ll probably take some criticism for this as well!

i love PJ. I live and breath them every single day......but, at last years London shows, both of them, I have some constructive criticism which I think is justified and I want to share.

Firstly. Venue. Horrible. Just horrible. Acoustics were hit and miss all over the venue. I had friends up high, down low, up the front, down the back and everyone reported different sound quality from the same show. On more than one occasion the quality was nothing but “white noise”, including in the acoustic set. Also, location of the O2, is fine if you live in central London, but is pretty much the worst place in the world to get to if you live outside of it. Perhaps something PJ would consider doing differently in the future.

And on that note of the London gig. Which was the only location in the UK of the European tour 18. Should not be called a UK tour.
There are three other countries in the U.K. England is not the only one. I understand that this may be where they will get the biggest crowds etc but at least do another gig somewhere else in the U.K. I was at the one and only Belfast show years ago, sold out, amazing show, just a suggestion. But what really upset me about these gigs, was when the band thanked “England”, not the UK. A simple error? Maybe. Factually correct? Yes, the gig was in England. Politically correct? Definitely not.

For a band that prides itself on being politically aware, I found this a little ignorant. And a little part of my romantic love for PJ died at the same time. As much as that upsets me to say. It made me feel for the first time as a “live and breath” fan, that the band didn’t care about me anymore. A fantasy I know, but I know there are many of you on here that feel the same way about them as I do, or did.

I took my Mum to the second London gig. Twice. She flew over from Dublin at great expense to see a band she has loved ever since they started, but she had never seen, and she prides herself on telling everyone that she is the reason that I am such a huge fan....she introduced me to them in our lounge room at home. Arguably she is right, but I never let her know that!

After what was for me an epic set list and gig, allowing for the sound quality! I was more than shocked to hear my mums opinion. She immediately asked me who was Eddie constantly singing and directing everything to at the front of the stage? I was somewhat bewildered, being very used to the TC fans who line up for their preferred area of stage frontage (something that I would love to be part of sometime, but invariably can’t afford the time to line up for as long as needed). I told her who was generally at the front. She responded that she was made to feel as though she wasn’t even there as a result of EV, SG, and MM’s dealings with those in the front few rows of the gig. And that made me think about that. And I have to say that when I look back and listen back, to the many videos and bootlegs I own, there is a tendency, for the band to do this a little too much, I’m starting to think.

just because I’m not at the front doesn’t make me any less of a fan. In fact I could have gone to more shows on a single tour than anyone up there for all they know. I completely get that PJ can’t pander to the masses. But perhaps something needs to be done slightly differently or they may be at risk of alienating some of their fan base. I don’t entirely agree with my mum, but what her opinion did do, was made me open my eyes a little, and see the band with slightly less rose tinted glasses on. Slightly.

Sorry for for the long post but this has been on my mind for a while. If anyone from the band ever wants to chat (LOL) , you know where to find me. Thanks for reading. Laters.

All of that was perfectly said!

I live just outside Glasgow and they haven't played here since 2000. Not fair 😫

My loved dropped a bit after the whole EV played a corporate side gig years ago. I really didn’t give a shit, lucky them, but this board made such a stink of how a deal went going against ideals and principles of early on. They battled MTV and won in the end, but fought Ticketmaster and lost. They weren’t trying to fix the world, only their causes. Instead of giving credit, Eddie was mercilessly ripped on this board.

Can we please get a CD/DVD combo of the Letterman show from 5/4/06?
Such a great show!

Of The Aggie · August 2019

Can we please get vinyl reissues of Lo2L, Lost Dogs, and Rearviewmirror? Other bands are on the 3rd reissue of their catalog. It can't be that difficult. No remaster or remix needed just a repress.

HughFreakingDillon · August 2019

can we have different subsections of the lost dogs forum?

-ISO
-FT
-FS

that is all.

javis el errante · September 2019

I can't find the first thread about Can't Deny Me, the one giving the heads up about the download, that it would be the 2017 Ten Club Single and that the song shall be included in the forthcoming álbum, any help of how I can go about it? send PM, thanks
