Hi there PJ friends
Just a few questions to throw out there.
Basically I have loved PJ from the begining but I would love to read your storys of how you got into them if it was later. What was the first album and didyou go straight out to get the rest?If you are a younger fan how did you get into them(considering the rise and rise of bling bling and skateboard stuff)?

And we're all allowed to dream of the next time we touch.

Appreciation and thanks to ||Release_Me|| for introducing me!
"The live shows? Well, that's church on Sundays"
I think listening to live albums must have been a great introduction...cool uncle. All my uncles are Tom Jones fans! ha ha

It surely is. When I first heard it, my bf told me it was a different style to the bands normal tracks, more experimental and I really loved it so I was afraid I wouldn't like any of their other stuff but it really stuck with me and I love it. I can honestly see now how much more experimental it is and different from the other albums.

You don't want to know how many bands I got into through the "R.E.M mentioned them" method - and now I do the same thing sometimes with Pearl Jam.

Also my sister listened to Hunger Strike a lot.
I think it's so neat that 13 yr. olds are still getting into them.

i asked the dj who it was, she told me... i took all my savings and bought the cassette the next day.
i only listened to evenflow and alive,,,, then jeremy came on mtv... and i added that... rewinding back and forth... one time i rewound too far and heard the end of once... i was breathless... i listened to the entire tape start to finish.... it blew my fucking mind... and 12 years later,,, it still does
my brother was getting rid of his cd's and asked me if i wanted them, list included soundgarden, faith no more, stp and of course my first pj album Vs.
that was 12 years ago and i still think they are the best band in the world. i do have to buy my beloved Vs album again because my car got stolen and they took my cd. m*th@r f^c$e!rs
fab album for anyone who doesnt have it and loves pj
u will love this album

i came from a place called syria some of you might know where it is..
anyway in syria it was so hard to get some rock music like 8 or 9 years ago ...you know arabic country not much into rock music...but i was a rock head that time ..and i was trying to get hold of some bands that could rock me...once i was walking and there was a small recordsshop i got in and i started to ask him about music called grunge lol( it's so funny to remember this) and he said yeah we have this album i don't like it but if you want some grunge music try it ...and it was VITOLGY ...i took it and i was gazing at the cover all the time you know love from the first sight ...and then i went with my parnts to the country side and on the way in the car i put vitolgy in my ears and start listning....and the first one i listend to was TREMOR CHRIST and then BOOOOOOOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOM i was choqed blwon away stoled gone ....
i repeated the song around 5 times in row and then i said ok enough listen to the rest and another boombs filled my ears ...i will never forget that day ...then i got to listen to ten and vs ...i loved them so much and since that day and i'm dreaming about seeing them and it became one of my life goals JUST TO SEE THEM...you know they will never play in syria ...then like 3 years ago i moved to sweden and i'm waiting on hell fire for that day the day i see them ....maybe i'm the only arabic guy on the board who love them ...it's kinda cool ...but there's alot of people in syria love them too...
so i can say that i'm a fan since like 9 years and i'm extreamly proud of that .
long one aaa ? soory .
we love you.
Here´s my story.....
I was at high school when I first heard "Jeremy", all my friend just loved the TEN album, but in that time I prefered pop music so I didn´t care about it very much...
Later, everyone at school was singing pj´s songs all day long, but I didn´t know why they loved this new band that much, I thought they were crazy or something.
Anyway, there was a moment that I just couldn´t resist anymore, I was sick and tired of hearing "Pearl Jam this, Pearl Jam that" everywhere!... but, somehow, I ended at the shop buying the "famous" cd, I still can´t remember why I did it if I hated them so much...
Anyway, the funny thing is that once I had the cd on my hands, it took me just a second to wake up! I immediatly found out why my friends were so excited about this knew band!
The music was fantastic and that voice..., that voice was just glorious! I remember that I almost cried with "Release", "Black" and I didn´t even understood English!
After that day I joined to my friends at school and we started a club!
Now I don´t miss anything about them! Ed´s just my idol!
And... that´s it!
Of which we're caught in the middle.

Anyway, I went through a music videos stage, and came across "Do the Evolution". From that moment I KNEW there ws something in Pearl Jam I had obviously missed. It conveyed my frame of mind so well. Needless to say I picked up Yield and discovered a new world! Since then I went onto "Vs" and "Riot Act" and just found myself becoming addicted to Eddie's lyrics, and (you've got to admit it) his sexy voice.
Then "Ten" happened... I felt winded. I started listening to it about a years ago, and it moved me so much I cried! "Black" & "Jeremy" one after eachother just creates such an atmosphere of elated desperation it was unreal. I still haven't fully recovered from it yet, but I sit back comfortably in the knowledge that I still have NC, Binaural and Vitalogy to go.
went to the 03 brisbane concert and totally went nuts. every1 waves their lighters around when they had songs like better man and insignificance. best experience ever
well my parents are seperated, and my dad likes pearl jam and has only really had Vs but for like 10 years, but coz of my parents split since i was 3 months old i never really heard it properly for along time, but my dad would often talk about them, i never really thought anything of them because id never heard of there music and just thought it was another band like all the others my dad would listen to (led zep, hendrix etc.) then about 2 years ago i was just sitting around the house watching t.v then then the intro to jeremy came on then up came "Pearl Jam - Jeremy" i thought 'oooo pearl jam finally get to hear them!' it was nothing like what ive heard b4 but i carried on watching it, i dont know why but ed really grabbed my attention, so by the end of the song i decided i really enjoyed the song. but never really followed it up, then i heard alive, loved that. so i downloaded jeremy, alive and daughter. i also tryed out given to fly but didnt really like it, but this christmas just gone i decided i would buy ten on a whim because lots of ppl say its amazing and i liked jeremy and alive. christmas day came and i stuck it in my player and left it to play, i loved all the tracks loads and i wasent even concentrating. i wasent even listening to black yet couldent help playing it over and over, then when he comes in the the WHY WHY WHY part i was like Fuuuuuuckin hell! ive been hooked on PJ ever since. i have 5 albums so far and planning to get the rest v. soon
