No problem with anyone asking for a song to be played. Some people have a connection with certain songs and it would make their evening to hear it played. What on earth is wrong with that?
the band either throw it in or ignore it, im not sure how this would offend anyone here. Skip past the thread, and it need never bother you.
Seeing the elation of some fans hearing the songs they requested makes it all worthwhile, and given the amount of these requests that appear to have been honoured this last few years it would seem on the face of it that Ed enjoys the interaction, or is at least happy to partake.
Yeah im sure the band see these requests and think 'fuck off' im sure that's exactly what they think. Not at all that, look at this guy who appreciates this song I wrote. Im sure they hate the adulation here and the love of their work, that must be a right royal drag

^^ All of that above!
Maybe it would just be easier for the people that don't like them to ignore the 1/30th of the screen each of these threads take up. And honestly, requesting people stop doing something well within the rules because it doesn't meet individual tastes is as "entitled" as it gets (had to toss in the overused buzz word).

but when is enough enough? the porch is already flooded with these threads, should they open a separate section of the forum for song requests? similar to everyone wanting a separate sections for trades, sales, etc --- 10c agreed, and now we have lost dogs.
and people's logic on requesting a song doesn't always jive. "BEEN TO 39 PEARL JAM SHOWS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN XYZ SONG, REQUEST TO PLAY IT, I DESERVE IT, MY HOLY GRAIL."
do i have a platform to stand on during the next US tour if i create a thread requesting they play Rival? because you know, it's my forum name and i *deserve* it?
I think everyone has the right to post a request thread. See my question below if the technical support forum. I'm wondering if people can hid threads they don't want to see. This would allow the requests to remain but others to delete them if they feel the forum is too cluttered.
I can't wrap my head around anyone, ANYONE, thinking it is their right to police what threads should be or shouldn't be on the Porch. I don't give a shit if it's a request thread, a "where's my vault vinyl" thread, or even a "pearl jam sucks" thread. seriously, you have an issue with having to scroll an extra inch on the page because you don't find it important? the internet was not built just for you.
so you start a thread complaining about other useless threads, thus bumping other threads you deem more important even lower? it's still early, but I'm guessing that's the dumbest thing I will hear today.
I'm ok with it, how else are you supposed to have a chance at getting your white whale?
line up in the GA line at 2am with your three year old, get the rail, have your home made sign ready, telling the band it is said three year old's first show and it's his/her favorite song, and BAM! DONE!
you will also get a tambo and a pick in the process.

I agree with the op. However I am totally in favor of threads asking for certain songs to be retired. There is nothing hypocritical about that.

no. it would be the same if I started a thread titled "stop complaining about what people post on here". I didn't. I commented in an existing thread. I'm not policing anything. I just can't understand the negativity.

It's happened before the last time a thread specific to Dimitris was made. I wish people would freaking relax. I'm pretty sure he didn't say he 'deserved' anything. Those were other people's words used to describe their thoughts on the matter. Obviously no open internet forum can be free of some opposite view.

I'm 99% sure he is NOT saying he deserves it... its clearly a text formatting issue with his post combined with the language barrier. He said he's not saying play it because he deserves it. But the way its formatted makes it look like the opposite.

did I say this thread shouldn't be allowed? no, I said it was stupid and counterproductive to the point in the OP. as I also said, i don't give a shit what threads are posted on the porch. I certainly would never start a thread complaining about other threads. but go ahead and do it if it makes you feel better.
