Too many people expect too much from a band. Stop looking for heroes or consistency or values or 1995 or what the fuck ever from a band. Enjoy th music or don't and then move the fuck on.

It's a band.

PJ represents more than a band for me. I don't feel I am unrealistic about my junkie enthusiasm tho.

Same here, but even then, sometimes people come up with the craziest expectations, even with the obsession taken into account. Like, sometimes I wonder if certain fans think Eddie is actually Jesus.

Have you ever witnessed him hand out picks to line of waiting fans? It's eerily similar to watching communion.

And then there's the wine he shares...

You guys have convinced me... he IS Jesus

To paraphrase Airheads...
Who would win in a fight, Eddie or Jesus?
TRICK QUESTION! Eddie is Jesus!

he'd kick his own ass

And I will wait patiently for you to name another major act that charges $80 for front of house seats.

Tool

Tool tours the eat coast seemingly once a decade and hasn't put out a record in 9 years

A long outstanding legal battle with their record label is why they haven't put a new record out. It's still going on. From what I've read, they have plenty of music put together to make an album, they just can't legally make it the way they would like to do it.

Dyer is correct and the legal battle is over, tool won and record should be done by end of the year. And for a band that barely tours, I've seen them over 23 times live. And I live on the east coast.

Edit- and their shows are structured that way over a tour because they have some background visuals that go with particular songs so they really can't switch up their sets. But when I saw them back in 2011 (?) Nokia theater LA, I got third eye for the first time. Was super stoked.

I love tool, and understand all of the above... I was just trying to state that they aren't the best example of large rock bands that still charge less than $100... they haven't put out an album in almost a decade and don't really tour, and at this point can't really fill arenas anymore like a PJ level of act so tough for me to compare them... that's not a knock, it is what it is

There are lots of major rock acts that don't charge $100 per ticket that are popular enough to fill arenas and amphitheaters... for example, just scored pit tix for MMJ for $55 each... paid about the same for GA tix for NY w/Crazy Horse the last few years... Petty... DMB... Bruce... all seem to stay under $100

Tool can fill arenas just fine. They played some on their tour last year.

PJ_Soul

It's rare to see tix OVER $100 IMO. Not the other way around.

HesCalledDyer

Yeah, the only ticket I've ever paid $100+ for was an NFL game. Beyond that, I've never paid more than $80 for anything I've ever seen - sporting event, concert, whatever.

It would be really cool if they opened a Pearl Jam Cafe in Seattle. I would love to sink my teeth into a Hey Foxymophandlemamma that's me Burger and share an order of Avocado sticks with the family!

that would be Self Titled Sticks.

Lmao Or Eponymous Sticks for short..
