    you can actually hear someone sing that well from the bootlegs? i don't have it but it just seems like she must have a very BoOMing voice to be able to hear from the booter
    Yeh, you can hear them if they're in front of the mic. A girl in Dublin ruined a couple of songs on the boot (mainly betterman) by singing completely out of tune and above everybody else - luckily she didn't seem to know the words to black, indifference, crazy mary or it's ok :D

    She confessed though and seemed quite embarrassed - I'm finding it hard to forgive her though :o

    We were in Bern, Bologna, Verona and Pistoia. I heard some, but not much, and it was pretty much between songs. At those four at least it wasn't bad. I actually love the way "Pearl Jam" comes out with the accents. It's one of the things we really remember and laugh about (in a good way). All the crowds were great there. :)

    I was at the Paris concert and there was a bit of the ol' Eddie screaming but it wasn't that bad really... and also we tried to drown them out with screaming the other band members names...

    I agree with the accents... One of my funniest moments has been hearing Betterman sung with a French accent... and incredibly off key as well... sore on the ears but the guy was soooo into singing and PJ… it was kinda cool.

    Sorry guys if our french accent is not compatible with PJ songs when we sing them
    :)

    But for Marseille, I can tell you that the guy who screamed IS NOT FRENCH because of his accent

    He's got another accent (argentinian, spanish northern or eastern europe ?)

    I think he was a martian and he was reminding Eddie that he is the chosen one and will be beamed upto space in 2007 to do the great "space jam" ...

    Fan Law: Henceforth, fans should never shout the names of members of the band. The band won't hear you anyway and you will just end up annoying the hell out of the people around you and anyone else who happens to listen to the bootleg for centuries to follow.

    I was gonna buy Marseille but I sure as hell am fucking not going to now...

    Think I'll go with Zagreb or go back to West Coast 2006 and get one of the Gorges or one of the San Franciscos
    Of course I value your opinion. It's what makes you wrong and me right.

    How dare people cheer for the band and Eddie. Doesn't everyone know the rules by now. You are supposed to sit quitely. Not a sound.

    thats right, because we don't want some bitch to scream eey-dee eeh-dee the entire damn night we MUST want you to sit there quietly all night long...

    or whistle the exact same way in-between every song all night long even before the song ends...we MUST want you to not open your mouth at all...

    we're just stupid like that. we think in extremes.

    Screw that, it's a new opportunity! Think: People are buying these bootlegs. Seems like a great way to promote something (a product, a website, etc.). So maybe soon someone will sneak a megaphone into the venues and shout out in-between songs. I can see it now, late into a set:

    "Daughter"/"It's Ok"/"WAL-MART: ALWAYS LOWEST PRICES"/"The Wrong Child" followed by "Leatherman", "Betterman"/"Save It for Later", "Nothingman", Encore Break featuring Loud Guy screaming 'NAUSEA, HEARTBURN, INDIGESTION, UPSET STOMACH, DIARRHEA... YAY! PEPTO BISMOL!', "Smile", "Out of My Mind", "Black, Red, Yellow", "Happy When I'm Crying", "Yellow Ledbetter"...

    Thousands attend the show, thousands buy the bootlegs, and now thousands can experience the tender rear-entry of a new conducive form of capitalism. Maybe Merck will advertise everytime the band plays "Habit", or National Guard will actually advertise every time the band plays "Army Reserve". The new motto is 'Army Strong'. How friggin' unreal is that now? Army: Strong. Weather: Mild. Lemons: Sour.

    I'm not going to deny there is a certain strength to the US Army, but on 'all of this Green Earth', as the promo suggests? I personally think our slip is showing: if googlefight is indeed as accurate at soothsaying as it's touted to be, pornography + rickshaws could almost wipe out the US Army.

    Oh, and not that the Advertisement is SEXIST or anything, but did anyone else notice the tagline 'And the strength to get over yourself' follows and is preceded by footage of a WOMAN scaling a wall on the objectives course? Subtle, Army... (Army, subtle)...

    here's the link if you want to check it out:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSbCnWe6e1o

    I'm an intelligent human being, and I'll say this: T'ain't never not scaling no walls, ever. Lessen there promise be pornographies in rickshaws on the other side, y'all take off, Army.

    Yours in opium tea and sympathy,

    People singing with accents? OK.

    Some guy yelling, "EDDIIIIEEEEE!"? Sure. (But not in my ear and not all over the boot.)

    Some guy yelling lines he seems to have learned phonetically from Arnold Schwarzenneger movies (e.g. "I'll be back!" WTF?)? Definitely no.

    Audiences who have no rhythm when they clap or sing? This is when I'm embarrassed to be French. :cool:
