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"?

Apparently offering up an opinion that PJ forum should be a happy place and allow everyone to do what they liked will be judged wrong by the seniority and you will be moved for fucking with our forum. 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. )
If there was ever a time for a HALTS MAUL brian!, that was it! To fucken funny )

Ok, so I have a thousand posts but have only been here less than a year this go around. I've let my membership lapse 3 times or so since the mid nineties. Does that make me new or a true fan? Can I get a ruling?

I won't claim not to judge, because I do. Sometimes with apology, sometimes not. Let my conscience sort it out - usually does.
I prefer to go more by content than size.
(that ain't what she said )
I also like threads like this, lots of colors and thoughts and ranges of humor coming together.
Still laughing at Brian's Boom/M-80 comment, among others!
I don't think any of these people who start song request threads read anything BUT those lame ass threads. It's obvious with all the song request satire, you'd think they'd get the hint. But they don't.

Hmmmmmm, there's a shitload of songs in the catalog. Make a request for EVERY song and we mite get you to 1000!
I don't think any of these people who start song request threads read anything BUT those lame ass threads. It's obvious with all the song request satire, you'd think they'd get the hint. But they don't. Guys brother died of cancer so now he wants a song in Denver and is asking people to get that request to the boys. UnfuckenREAL. Sorry your bro died, but what's a song gonna do for HIM? Nothing, it's all about you.
Wow dude, that is way harsh...
BTW - I have ZERO problem with someone who has experienced tragedy making a song request, or a kid going to his first show wnating to hear a song, or someone's honeymoon, etc. I just think that with the volume of these requests it should be its own category.

I think the problem is that too many fans think that getting their personal choice of song, for whatever reason, will quantify whatever that fan feels for the band. There are too many fans with this need to be "personally shouted out" to by the band. I think that's the problem with PJ. Fans don't look up to them as just a great band. They look up to them like gods. Why can't we just enjoy the music and the feeling it gives us? EV said himself… "Worship the music, not the musician."

I had a killer dream last night, and I'd like to request that the band make my dream a reality. So guys, at the next show I'm at (I'll keep you in the loop - you're welcome), please have me come up on stage and smash Eddie's guitar at the end of Blood. I'd really appreciate it!
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata

Sounds like fun. Don't forget to toss a few tambourines out to the crowd!
