Hi guys.

You might have read my post on the sound issues at the Wembley show. If so, please go and have a look at my blog. I posted a few photos and a few things from the show that I scanned. There is a few messages to people I met there and a request for photos of the show (my camera was confiscated).

    Did you get your camera back though? I always wondered about what happens if a camera is confiscated - you do get them back don't you?

    they gave me a ticket with a number that i had to bring back after the show, so i got it back. i'll defenately take my camera again, i'm not worried if yhey decide to keep it locked up during the show.

    That reviewer was a gobshite. Seriously, if a band isn't either the Artic Monkey's or Bruce Springsteen they garner absolutely no respect. I'm not just against his view of Pearl Jam but he's such a typical music journalist. Only the 'in fashion' music or the 'too classic to be fucked with' music gets any respect. I bet this guy will give some outstanding reveiw of the next Razorlight or Kaiser Cheif gig. 'Snigger' at the 'protracted solos'... what a fool. Listen to some real Rock N' Roll. Pearl Jam are among the few bands still playing who do justice to a genre that should be A) good lyrics B) good musicianship and C) anti-trend.

    And between 'Vs.' and 'Pearl Jam' there were 5 incredible albums which branched out artistically, defying what Oasis or whatever shite music this guy associates with as the defining music of the mid-nineties.

    Sorry i just hate all pop music journalists....

    thanks for reading!

    EDIT: I just realised that people who haven't read that article scanned on the thread starters blog probably think I'm absolutely bonkers... Excellent blog by the way!
    JUST PLAY THE F***ING NOTE!!!

    aha, thought so. my wife came home with an even worse review yesterday. the guy is basically calling them has-beens and said that people cringed at the stupid lyrics of No More. the show received two out of 5 stars. i was understandibly rather upset.

    they were obviously the people who were too jealous coz they weren't at the show :(

    i think the lyrics in that song are really powerful, even more so coz we know they really come from the heart
