    Pearl Jam fans can be such bossy, judgy assholes. It's like the ultimate dick measuring contest. "I CAN ROCK OUT HARDER THAN YOU SO I DESERVE TO BE IN GA!!!!" Just enjoy the fucking concert and meet some cool people. I didn't know I was being graded on how I perform as a fan at the concert.

    :thumbup: What defines "rocking out" anyway? Everybody says they are doing it, yet I think there is no consensus on what it truly is. I always feel weird because of that. Do I rock out hard enough for a "diehard"? I'm having fun at my shows. I sing along, I raise my arms, I jump every now and then. But I also just stand there and sway. And go to the bathroom. But is that enough for a "diehard"? :think: :P
    I just want to know who is in GA measuring dicks :think: :oops:

    I had a blast in the GA in Charlotte. Most were respectful and when people started jumping around, I heard apologies when people stepped on toes or bumped to hard into someone.

    Listen...I was not trying to argue over who is a diehard and who isn't...I agree with those of you who say that there are just certain people who should not be in GA. All of my PJ shows to date have been awesome, I have no complaints. "Just enjoy the fucking concert and meet some cool people"!!! Well said!

    I'm sorry, I digressed ...

    In Germany, the whole floor is GA. The front is rather rowdy, the middle is the middle and the back is laid back. Something for everybody. Maybe the should just try to enlarge the GA floor over here a bit to make more people happy.

    Since we old fogey parent 10Cers are so, well... Old, we should just wear our depends undergarments to the shows, then we don't have to go to the bathroom and we can show those youngsters who are really the diehards! :lol:

    But really, it isn't age that makes us die hards. Or energy level. Or alcohol consumption. Or number of shows attended. Or whatever. It's inside of us. It can't be measured by another person's experience...

    I think most people are saying have fun your way and let me have fun my way, just don't be a jerk.

    Or we'll have to resort to the previously mentioned dick measuring and assign seating by that. Which is inherently unfair to the female fan base. Unless of course, no dick gets you up front. Then we might as well be at a Justin Bieber show with 15 rows of screaming girls up front.

    GA has been lame. Wish there was more moshing. I asked 7-8 people if they would support me starting a mosh pit and all said "No Way" in Baltimore. I'll report back from Charlottesville and Charlotte, but I'm not expecting anything else different. PJ fans are just too old at heart. Too many parents and lawyers and oldies in 10C.....sorry to say it but it has to be said.
    Chris.

    You want a Mosh PIt?
    And you're surprised that people around you don't?

    Even Pearl Jam doesn't want a mosh pit.....as seen on the doors at Charlottesville and most if not all shows so far on this tour....

    Yeah I'm all for rocking out, singing, dancing, etc, but I think mosh pits are silly. I might as well just throw myself into the walls while listening :lol: I'm not a parent or a lawyer...an "oldie" is a matter of perspective, "the wisdom that the old can't give away," so I'm cool with that ;)

    Agreed. But not on the first paragraph. I'm not old and not a parent! And I always had a small bladder :shifty: I made it through the Philly shows in the pit without going during the show though :mrgreen:

    I never take pee breaks during shows ever and I have a teeny bladder too. I just go 15 times before the show. Sometimes I throw myself into walls of the stall to get the moshing started. That's how hardcore I am :P :lol:

    So if I am to make sense of these and other posts...we need bladder measuring along with dick measuring??

    :corn:

    :corn:

    That appears to be the case. Although that could get messy :? As well as a breathalyzer to measure BAC and a device to measure velocity as we thrash about. Then we could have some objective measurements to crown the "most hardcore fan". Prize TBD :think:

    So in order to come up with an equation to quantify the "the most hardcore fan" we have to include....

    BAC
    +
    Moshing velocity
    +
    bladder size
    +
    Dick size
    =

    That appears to be the formula. I'm gonna totally lose out on dick size :( However I will make up points with lyrics knowledge...got those down better than Ed :D Now as for the prize....

    My vote is for a pair of the new forestry socks and the tracksuit. That is the uniform of a true hardcore PJ fan :thumbup:
