I am a pearl jam fan. I just never joined the forums. Lurker was I? Yes. Any particular reason for joining all of a sudden.. Nah, just felt like it.
To those who think I'm just street teaming? Nope. Just couldn't sleep. Was reading the post and I felt compelled to tell my story. Read it or not, I don't give a flying fuc-!
Those who know of me will know that i'm not an avid poster on the cc forum either. I post when i find it interesting to do so.. Like I mentioned in my earlier post, I'm not a writer. I'm also not a person that particularly likes confrontation so I tend to shy away from all of it. That's wny when all the crap slinging starts over at the cc boards, you won't see my name. I'm not proud that I shy away from confrontation but that's what therapy is for
I also didn't come here with the means to promote cc in my last post either. My initial comment was to say that I understand both sides (people who do like the new music and those who don't). Maybe I didn't put forth what I had originally attempted, oh well, shit happens. And... I do know I shouldn't care what you all think, but I do... You can all pounce on me now!! Some of you seem to really good at that.
Some of the CC hating is kinda getting out of hand. We've already had 2 threads locked. Not exactley a warm welcome to the boards was it even tho they all say PJ fans are among the best in the world!!!
They are referring to Sweetu4ria, a user who has ONE post, defending Cornell. It's not the first time it has happened here. Is it really a witch hunt or is it just an online community wishing people wouldn't sign up with the sole intention of advertising another artist and attempting to dispel any negative discussion?
You guys got me curious and little brave too... Where was I trying to dispel neg discussion?
Especially considering it's a known and popular tactic of that particular street team. And the name is something of a giveaway. "Sweetu4ia"... not even trying to hide the Cornell affiliations.
If I tried to join under a different name and some of you found out who I was, would that have made a difference? You would say I was a fraud, right?
I'm fricken sweetu4ria on my insurance website for godsakes, it's easy for me to remember at my age!
Hunger Strike might be my favorite song of all time if somebody put a gun to my head and made me pick. It's always interesting to see the guys Eddie or Chris pick to sing the other part. I've seen Shaun Morgan with Chris, Wolfmother lead singer with Eddie. The biggest surprise for me was an Audioslave show where Wilk sang Eddie's part from the drums.
But I've never really been embarrassed until now with Linkin Park lead singer in his wife beater singing Eddie's part. Damn shame.
I agree!

These streetteamers like Sweetu4ria earn points by posting propaganda favoring Chris Cornell anywhere on the net. The streetteamers redeem their points for a possible meet and greet with Chris. Thats why they try the damage control tactics. Makes them look good in Cornells managements eyes. The admin of his site monitors all Cornell related threads from Scotland of all places and reports any rules violation to the moderators, in our forums case , Kat and Sea. Thats why any forum that "attacks" members regarding another forums members, ends up being locked , censored or deleted.
Although I and certain members of Pearl Jam, constantly remind us to "Know Your Rights" and promote freedom of speech, unfortunately it doesnt always happen, even here of all places. But for what ever its worth , the rules are posted and I guess we have to live by them if we are going to participate on the forum.
In all fairness, I know Sweetu4ria and she's not an ST zombie...on the contrary...she's exactly as she said in her post. Big Cornell fan, but doesn't beat the shit out of those of us that are less than thrilled with the new "direction." I was actually very surprised to see her on here (Hi Nina) and she's really very nice and nonjudgemental. I'm sure she's not spying or here to have threads shut down. Don't be so tough on her....at least she had the balls to come on here and be honest in a somewhat "street team hostile" environment.

Hey, Mr Hands....be nice to her....she's a ally, not a foe! She's also a friend of the other forum...no need to be mean! Remember, mean people suck! Christ, I sound like my 10 year old daughter.....

Even the titles of his songs are stupid now. I've done my best to ignore Mr. midlife crisis since he won't just go away, but I saw the thread and I couldn't resist a listen. What more is there to say? He has manged to go below rock bottom while he tries to create a whole new genre of cool edgy pop rock with his familiar falsetto providing ONLY the most distant memory of a guy who was once in a decent band which seems like forever ago. Awful, just awful.
Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

Did you even listen to it? I find it hard to believe you'd be referring to "cool edgy pop rock" about that song.

Let me guess. You're the guy who still thinks he's good. Yeah I listened to it. It was a piece of contrived shit, and I have no desire to give it another listen. The guy is a frigging joke.

Hey MKB,
Thank you for sticking up for me but it's not necessary. But thank you!
It's almost like a bully situation on some of these boards (pj or otherwise). People can feel the way they do about me, but that's none of my business anymore, I've decided. I am who I am, yes I'm a streetteamer, yes I'm a huge cornell fan. Do I want points for chatting on the PJ board, NO! But people will make their opinions of me regardless. I kinda feel like I'm in the 8th grade like my daughter. She was bullied last year by 11 year olds and I guess some, not all adults get very brave behind a screen.
Anyhow, I was surprised to see another familiar face here from another forum I frequent.. I was going to comment further... But no.
You guys got me curious and little brave too... Where was I trying to dispel neg discussion?
I'm just saying that's the way it looks when a person signs up with a Cornell related name and goes straight to the CC bashing threads and defends Chris Cornell in their first post. No one here is going to jump down the throat of a person who is actually here because they are a PJ fan and they happen to want to say nice things about Cornell but they might if they feel the board is being used as a forum for Streetteam propaganda, that's all.
I've read your other posts and now know that wasn't your intention, which is fine. Just understand why some people here might be suspicious. The way it goes here sometimes, we might as well have two boards, The Porch and a re-named Other Music board called "Chris Cornell, yay or nay?"
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

Thanks Jeremy for understanding. I understand where you guys are coming from too, I do. But the sweetu4ria name, it's just easy to remember when you frequent so many other places you know?! I use it for everything that's associated with the net!

Yeah, we're all just a little on edge here. This board has been... I don't wanna say plagued, but there's no better word for it... by rabid street teamers (who just defend or promote Cornell, than vanish) at times, and it's not a pleasant experience. Apologies if I was too quick to assume.
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
This is a great Cornell song, contrived or not. It probably was the song for all of his usual fans, so what??? A future blues album? I'm down for that; hopefully it will be the next one.
Thanks...oh and on the blues record tip..the song Getaway Car from the first Audioslave record would fit on that perfectly. IMO it's one of his best songs ever.

So how do ya do? I'm Nina
And Rhino/Mr. Hands.. You're in Ireland? I didn't know that. Pretty cool. I've always wanted to visit your green countryside!
Thanks...oh and on the blues record tip..the song Getaway Car from the first Audioslave record would fit on that perfectly. IMO it's one of his best songs ever.
Rhino, Jeremy, you gents are examples of coolness and level heads among these trying Cornell-times. Make yourself comfy, sweetu4ria.
So we're all in agreement here: we all want...no, DEMAND a CC blues album to make up for this obvious Faustian deal that's resulted in Scream??
...signed...the token black Pearl Jam fan.
