    They definitely had time available. They chose to spend it on Europe...again. That's two trips in less than a year's time. I can see why many of us saw that as a slap in the face. They chose to go back across the atlantic as opposed to trucking their equipment down south to play for the entire region of the country that they skipped last spring.
    Europe was one of they places they wanted to go to....and it fit into their plans.....did it take priority...sure...but its not because they have any negative feelings for the south....give the fellas more credit than that...

    Maybe if they investigated the situation in the South, they would see that many of us don't view the Democratic Party as a good alternative.....because we watch them rob us blind on a daily basis on the state and local level. BTW, I voted for Nader.

    I am afraid that my love for the band has struck an iceberg....or better yet, the band was the Battleship Bismarck, and they have fired the golden BB into my love for them, which is the HMS Hood.

    Oh man...I really brought politics into this...bad decision...sorry.

    Hey everyone...think we just need to chill the fk out...be patient and see what happens..they haven't confirmed or denied anything...

    Oh trust me if I was them i'd much rather go to Europe...doesn't mean I have to like it :) I'd just think that they would want to touch on the portion of the fanbase that was shafted.

    I trust... but what harm does this information actually do? The situation was created by and can only be rectified by the band. WE still know nothing... we can vent and rant and rage about what we think is going on... We get our hopes up and then down, but isn't that what draws us to this thread? The thought of privvy info, talking to much cooler folks that we are actually surrounded by... bitching, laughing....

    the only truth is us, the contributors...and what the band actually does, not what we speculate.

    they're not on a schedule to make regularly timed news releases...plus if they do indeed plan on playing in the US this year...lots to iron out before they can officially announce. Come on Tybird....don't loose the love...there's a reason you like this band...and those reasons are still in affect.

    Consume 3-4 of your favorite adult beverage (non-alchoholic if fine) put on some headphones....and listen to release or indifference.....you'll feel it again.

    Probably done with them for awhile....if they wish to abuse a certain portion of their fan base in such a manner...how much of what I believed about the band is true?

    So has anyone gotten any indication of any news coming by actually emailing 10c? Not that i'd expect anything but maybe they would accidentally give us some indication in their "there's nothing to report" replies...

    No, not on a schedule. But sometime in the last 12 months, when shows were announced for a large part of the country, then other countries, and more countries....you'd think they could adress the issue we have been asking about since day 1....Just a little information!

    I wouldn't hold my breath on it. There were countless threads asking before, then they were consolidated here. For a year now people have been asking. I doubt they would even bother with more than a form letter reply.

    I seriously doubt that is his reasoning. Seems top me Tybird is feeling the same way ALOT of us are. But because he has been so positive for so long, he is catching hell.

    Being ignored is just as hurtful. Yes, they have done all that you mentioned..but to ignore a fan-base and basically act like arrogant rock-star pricks about it makes me think that everything in that beautiful music was a lie.

    I couldn't agree with you more - I would fire them. But maybe the problem is that no one HAS been overseeing the entire tour. The big picture has been obscured by reacting to smaller/shorter term issues. Maybe they have all had inputs to little decisions which when strung together make shit. (isn't that the defintion of clusterfuck?)

    Well, they are killing a fan who purchased "Ten" after only hearing "Alive" one complete time on the MTV (Feb. 1992) and has been with them despite only two shows in his hometown since that time. A fan who flew to Halifax, Nova Scotia to enjoy seeing Pearl Jam in that fine city. A fan who has spent a lot of time and money on the band. All good things come to an end, I guess?
