We get it. Some people don't like some of the posters. Do we have to come on here with such negativity? If you don't like it, don't get it. I'm REALLY sick of assholes who think they're critics. Try it yourself. Start your own band. Run your own fan club. Moderate your own board. If you have to say you hate someone/something, please find somewhere else to do it. These guys are busting their talented asses to provide posters for (mostly) grateful, art-loving Pearl Jam fans and the last thing we want is for them to have to read such sophomoric drivel from losers.

Have a nice.

    :) The old saying, "if you don't have something nice to say....", is really true. Most really don't want to hear it, unless it's constructive. ;)
    "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
  • I agree. And it's weird because after seeing this latest onslaught of the WPB poster i was wondering if those involved knew about these comments and how that would be a downer.
    You try producing art of this quality and have goofs trash it every time. It has to wear on you. I think the gator is pretty damn cool.
    If i were them i'd put out a blank all white poster and say it was inspired by the beatles.
    Thanks for hopefully putting these "critics" in their place.

    I don't understand the need to post in the Pit about how fed up you are with YOUR CUSTOMERS stating their opinions, no matter what tone those opinions take. Listen, the bitching gets to me as much as anyone, but a childish post from a representative of the band calling people losers isn't going to accomplish anything. It's just weak is what it is.

    As if it wasn't apparent enough that the times have truly changed with the announcement of the partnership with Verizon.

    No way man, its nice to see someone close to the band finally telling these childish losers to shut up and be grateful for everything they do for them, and as for verizon, its a new way of distributing bootlegs, a lot of people want their music on the their phones, and this is the band jumping on the bandwagon to do more for the collective fan base, its not about money or selling out, i mean its obviously about money but i doubt that is the main reason for doing it, and also if someone said ok you can things this way and not make money or you could do the exact same thing AND make money off it youre telling me youd choose to do it for free? i call bullshit.

    Could have handled it better.

    I will say that, i don't like ames and i don't buy them unless they appeal to me

    Trust me, I'm grateful that my favorite band gives me countless bootlegs and releases posters for every show. But, the band should be grateful that people are willing to buy up everything they give us the opportunity to buy and that we've provided them with the opportunity to make a pretty tidy living doing what they love.

    As for Verizon, my only point is that times have changed since the days of "sponsored by no one." Sure, I'd take the money and run, but you can't compare me to the band, because I haven't made tens of millions writing and performing music. Maybe it's a double standard, but there's a difference between a band that has been enormously successful and a young middle-class person trying to make rent payments and feed his family.

    Couldnt disagree with you more. Yes, you are the customer, but it is THEIR website. If you want to have an opinion, or trash the band or any of the artists or reps, start your own website, or blog, or whatever the fuck it is that people do these days and state your rant or opinion there. I said this MANY MANY times, that ONE day, someone would have enough of the shit that goes on around here, and I APPLAUD TB for FINALLY coming here and calling someone out. You might see it as weak and uncalled for, I see it LONG LONG overdue and COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED. In some people eyes, this band can do NO RIGHT. It is either too expensive, or it is too far away, or they dont tour the south, or why cant I have a HARD cd and on and on. Yet EACH AND EVERY TOUR, they TRY to improve on the last one whether you people see that or not. We wanted wristbands? WE got got em. We wanted options on cds? We got em.. I get that you cant please everyone, and that no matter WHAT they do, the band, the mods, the 10C whatever, SOMEONE will be bent. I still defy you to tell me that 90% of EVERYTHING this band and its family does isnt for us! they know who we are, they know that most of us care, and they know that sometimes they cant do for everyone. If they choose to finally "sell out" as some of those so eloquently put it and try do do something for themselves and pocket a little more coin than maybe they normally have in the past, GOOD FOR THEM!! I am not foolish enough to think that they dont make $$, and that they dont make ALOT of $$ off ME. but they are a band, and it is the music that brought most of us together, the rest is fucking gravy. So if you or anyone else doesnt like the product, what it does for you, how it is represented, then please, do as I said, start your own site and trash away, because everyone has a breaking point. Tim showed you his today, and if this shit keeps up, maybe someday the band will show us as well. Not touring, ONLY doing benefits or corporate shows and dibanding the 10C all together. Dont think it will happen? I'll bet alot of folks didnt think that TB would do this? Is it gonna stop? Prob not, but I will bet that the people who continue wont be around here too much longer and the gauntlet has been dropped. Maybe this will clean house a bit and some of the people he referred to will disapear. One can only hope! Have a nice day! :)
