    ok... I'll take the bait...

    what "cult" are you talking about? Whenever I see the greek guy post on here he is nothing but kind, positive, fun, and enthusiastic about pearl jam... the guy wants to hear a rock song at a rock concert, some people are having fun rooting for the guy...

    Seriously brother, who pissed in your pearl jam cheerios? You slways seem like a goid dude, I'm not trying to he a dick or argue with you, just saying let the guy have fun. Isn't that what this is for, entertainment & fun?

    I think what we have here is a matter of coincidence. This thread should stand on it's own. It is about one fan's simple wish. A simple request: to put an end to a dreadful song in an otherwise glorious catalog of music that has brought such joy to so many of us. If it became a movement along the way, something thousands of fans have gotten behind, then so be it. We will be heard. A simple request with a special meaning. The band knows why. This is an organic groundswell of a movement. We're working for something here...that one can never hold.

    I love you all. Thank you for all of your supports.

    Did Dimi know someone that sadly passed and this was their favorite song? Did he get married and this is his bride's favorite song? Did he cure cancer?

    I dont know about others..but i have a request for a specific song and for specific reason that the band knows about it
    I dont deserve anything or said anything about
    Play it cos i deserve it
    I want to see the song live..see it or not is another story..and ill continue to go to the shows..travel around the planet and see the world....
    And in very happy and blessed about it
    And i wish someone will cure cancer asap
    So many people gone..its not fair

    I had the misfortune of hearing it in Philly back in 2009. Really had a profound impact on me and it's one of the reasons I want it retired IMMEDIATELY.

    Doesn't hurt to ask. People do it all the time.
    Doesn't this completely contradict your position on this in the other active thread today - the one about stopping song requests?

    Laak or Hellmuth?

    My mom used to play with Hellmuth (don't even go there!) years ago at one of the local casinos. He was the pouty bitch then that he is now.

    If that wasn't your Philly reference, nevermind.

    No. I think there should be a separate forum for them (as i said in uet another thread). Do they clutter up the boards? Yes. Does thread after thread for them on the porch annoy me? Yes. Do I think random requests generally work? No.

    Does it hurt for Dimitris to ask? No. More than that though, I think people singling out one specific request like this is an asshole thing to do. People DO do it all the time. But now one person has made one song request for the first time ever as far as I know, and suddenly this thread? That's bullshit.

    whatever, that doesn't entirely reconcile with this: -

    "Totally agree. Those threads are really fucking annoying, and I think that if any member of the band saw any of those stupid threads, their first response would be "fuck off". "

    like I say whatever, I agree though, no need for this to be made personal. Dimitris has been after this track for a number of years and it would make his tour to hear it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I can only imagine how elated he would be

    I still think what I said. That doesn't change the fact that it doesn't hurt to ask. No need to be singling one person's request out.
