    so true, when he admitted earlier 2 or 3 posts out of the hundreds have in some way offended him in some way, so that means the other 99% are okay, but obviously can't see how nitpicky that is or comes across, no one in here is perfect, I know I am far from it, but really condemning everyone for so little when most of what you are saying is incoherent, maybe you should go over the entire thread and see where this conversation had evolved to before you came in, I think you will rethink your choice of words


    I said none of that, but that should be expected.
    Continue your fuck Pearl Jam fans rant.

    Mean people suck!
    I thought I was just trying to fully rationalize a very stoned thought.
    Maybe I need to ease back on the GSC.
    I had to skip Tulsa and Lincoln for it to fully ripen.
    Could be too intellectually stimulating trichomes.
    MY BAD. Peace, love and be happy.
    And if you see a guy with a cool pink bunny hat in Denver, just give him a hug. Apparently, I need some.
    Hugs make me happy!
    If your lucky, my gorgeous wife might give ya one too.

    You need to add a real pothead sub topic to your earlier post! :))

    I somehow screwed up the quotes.

    Does a "real pothead" skip the shows in Lincoln and Tulsa (he has tickets) to harvest when ripe or does a "real pothead" harvest two weeks early and get half the quantity and a reduction in quality but have just enough money for that trip? I had that one but, thankfully have Denver GA. Just trying to get by.

    The anger towards the requests I just don't get. Our favorite band is taking requests off of this forum. Who knows how or why? Our band is fulfilling our requests. How could that ever be bad or ridiculed or made fun of or asked to move even? Our band is responding to us and some are finding fault with the best damn conduit the fans could have to do this. It is very sanitary and it is working. They found it here, do we really want to fuck with that?
    FYI not a newbie - original membership 1995 in Vitalogy Healthclub, had one lapse in 2002 and regret it.

    I think it is cool if the band does occasionally read this forum....
    I think the problem most people have is that any and everyone are coming out of the cracks to request songs now. the same thing happened with all the GA threads. everyone out for themselves. they don't care about making a connection on sharing anything. just greed and getting a GA ticket for every show. this is a community and some people have been active on here a hell of a lot longer than me. I respect them for wanting to clean this up.
    I have said it before. I requested a song on here before it got crazy. I had it up for 4 days. it got bumped a few times, mostly on the day of the show. they played it. I will take some of the blame for this. I had no idea it would get this fucking out of hand.

    "anger" may be a strong word, in regards to fan requests. the annoying part of it, or reason to "vent" is that it has become so EXTREME recently, and now almost everyone has to one up the previous guy. there's also so many requests that its harder to find the "real" requests. by that i mean some people truly have had extraordinarily sincere and sad and inspiring stories to tell, and its nice to get recognition. but we all lose our grandparents ya know what i mean? all 20k people at the show have had some serious loss at some point. the great thing about pj is using their music to get through your own struggles. they have plenty of songs to relate to in any given show, we all dont need to get all "ME ME ME" and make 20k requests.

    I definitely don't like most of that shit either," I need 2 GA only". Give me a break, most of the requests and threads I have no interest in. I no longer read them.
    Whether you guys realize it or not the request you are making is for censorship and or segregation of people and ideas because they don't conform to your standards.
    Pretty sure all of recorded history has taught us that is not cool.
    Just let it play out or only look at the threads you agree with or
    Fuck it!!! Burn the site down - too many fans want things.

    Well I wouldn't call creating a board for requests segregation, lol. There are a lot of different boards here to separate topics. This would just be another one. Threads that don't belong on the Porch get moved to the proper board all the time so that The Porch remains a place for people to discuss the band. This keeps things organized and flowing, that's all.

    Took the words out of my fingers!

    By the way, I (and others too) don't want to only see topics with which we agree. Not only is it boring but also unchallenging. Everyone can be questioned or applauded or anywhere in between on anything they choose to post. Criticized too - it's all in the way it's done, said.

    I get your point, Yakimatsu - but you're painting a shitload of people by the actions of a few.

    Go visit AMT, any other section of this place, and you'll see all kinds of people.

    Thank fucking god.

    I think it is cool that the band honors requests. I also like some of the innovative threads where fans point out a song that has never been played before in a particular city - subtle hint). As requests get honored, it only makes sense that the volume of requests would increase. Therefore, I think that it would be appropriate to have a category for requests (that way, the Porch will not be flooded with them at tour time). I think that this would help out the band and the 10C so that they can sort through these requests and decide which one's to fulfill. Now please play Dirty Frank at Fenway in 2015 for the Boston Puker...

    From the amount of requests that seem to have been honored, it got me thinking. I guess it's possible the band actually does have someone paying attention. Maybe they are really just trying to shake it up? How many times can you crank out the hits without getting bored as hell? What if they just want to play different stuff to appease people that support them? I guess we could start a new debate, is the band wrong for wanting to play what ten club members want to hear? I probably wouldn't start a request but I don't think they are going away anytime soon.

    Would you agree that it makes sense to have either a separate forum segment called "Fane Requests" or at least just ONE thread called "Fan Requests"?

    Why? Scrolling, scrolling, that's such a big problem? I wish I had your life.
    Category suggestions: 1. Fan Requests
    2. The true fans (for 1000 and up posts)


    Dude, you need a Xanax BADLY. You're taking this way to personal. It's funny tho, you're ripping people for being judgmental yet you're doing the same thing.

    FYI- I have no problem taking ALL the blame for saying it's a bunch of newbies, cuz you know what, IT IS. But it's all good, keep posting bro and you're almost at a century! Someone said it best. Everybody is trying to OUT DO the other. Shit, I'm trying to out do my request threads myself! As much as your butt hurt over this thread, there's about a shitload of us who are butt hurt seeing request after request after request. It gets old. You want us to scroll down till we find a thread we like to read? Fuck that, make a thread dedicated to requests so you who want to request know where to go and the porch doesn't get flooded with lame ass requests.

I have been reading the forum off and on for many years and the way the seniority berates and ridicules behaviors that they don't deem appropriate is scary and the peer pressure over the requests was enough.
    Judging whether a crowd at a show your not at is rocking enough. Ridiculing people for all these little things. They didn't know the right words or they didn't rock hard enough to this song or that. Hammering people for selling all the merch online when we know 10c could fix that immediately.......if they wanted to. I'm not paying $50 for a sticker, but if a bum got a meal out that sticker by standing in line, I'm just happy for the bum not bitchin about people being creative. Remember 10c and our band support this otherwise after years of complaints they would have changed.
    They have no response to these threads yet they stay on here all the time.
    They respond to threads and ya'll say move em.

    See ya'll in Denver, out.
    This is a venting thread.

    Hahahahahahaha that's funny =))
    Love it! Reminds me of the time this lady I worked with who happened to be black and she and I were talking about alcohol and pot and she made a comment that was slightly contradictory and I got my tongue twisted a bit and said, "Honey, that's like the black calling the kettle pot". We both totally cracked up. :))
