Only Dane Cook quotes that should be quoted is about the Kool-Aid man!

PearlJamaholic

boom

the threatening cloud of 'selling out'

the no bootleg policy for vedder solo shows. after all the things vedder has said about bootlegging.

vedders hypocrisies, not just the bootleg thing.

when mike made that statement about at&t, showed his lack of understanding on the first amendment.

jeff's backup vocals live

i think thats all for now.

They don't come to Victoria anymore...they played their first ever non US gig as Pearl Jam in Victoria..and now they don't seem to like us.

Lenny Kravitz is coming here, NIN is coming here, Beck was here, Iron Maiden was here, QOTSA were here, there's no excuse...play a two night stint at the Shopping Bag and everyone's happy...best of all - NO TicketMaster!! We've got surfing, hiking, and wineries!!

I want an epic double album, not necessarily a concept album...

I want Pearl Jam to get back to No Code type stuff

let's have an album that flows instead of meanders

that makes absolutely no sense. Avacado was direct rock, no code was a mess, fatty production, songs that just kinda existed for 3 minutes without really doing anything (sometimes,in my tree)

This ridiculous. Every great rock band has used organs/keys. The Beates, Led Zeppelin, Pink FLoyd, The Rolling Stones, The Who, R.E.M....


Infact, I honestly can't think of a single rock band that doesn't use organs/keys/pianos in some if their songs.

Maybe you meant organs have no place in punk?

i didnt say pianos have no place. i just dont like the sound of an organ. it sounds like shit in rock. nickelback doesnt use an organ, why would pearl jam?

Nickelback isn't rock

anyone who's never seen Keith Emerson humping his organ and then stabbing it, missed some serious rock.

nickleback is awesome. they rock out in concert and their set lists are diverse. you cant argue the fact that they are great, just look at the amount of cds theyve sold. sales dont lie.

ID LIKE TO EVACUATE WHO EVER DOUBTS EVACUATIONS GOODNESS!!


PUUUUUUUUURE GENIUS... PLAY LIVE IN 09!





oh and i really don't feel comfortable saying anything negative about a band that i spend WAY too much money on.. then how would it be justifiable?


Mostly EVERYONE in the band has stayed true to themselves and are still making good music... for that, i could never give enough love and thanks for.
Yeah, im an easy fan, what of it? :P But those two very important things are a round, and thats really all this chick could hope for.

I apologize to those who like Nickelback, but this video is hillarious to me:

OMG i cannot believe that i am seeing people stick up for this shit on here!
they might have sold a lot of records, but the people who buy them are douchebags... or they like listening to the same song over and over from first record to last!

what don't I like about PJ- the fact that they are the greatist band EVER and I will never feel this sort of passion for anyone, anyband or anything ever.

well for one, nickelback fucking sucks. but if you use that as your primary argument then it's not even worth debating,

I was cleaning up today and I found that clue that your missing
1) diverse set lists- every song sounds the same. If they changed their setlist every show that would be diverse.

Chicago 38 (shit)
Foreigner 37.5 (shit)

Britney Spears 31 ( I'm not even gonna pick on her)
Dave Matthews Band 31 (good)
Dixie Chicks 30.5 (not into them)
Linda Ronstadt 30 (shit)
and then we have
Pearl Jam 30 million sold. my point is... alot of crappy artist have sold alot of albums. it just means that they happen to be the flavor of the moment,

just a side note- these are only my opinons of these artists, you might agree, you might disagree!! I'm not the allmighty god of music who decides who is great and who is not. it's only what I think.
so by that theory, I guess I owe pc loadletter an apology.
sorry, you like whatever bands music moves you, and live long and prosper.

NICE!!!with PJ wondering if they include the official boots or just studio.
And I agree buttload of records means SHIT.just means they found the lowest common denominator the make dollars.
love some of your descriptive uses of the word G-N-R yeah!!!do disagree on some of those though, each his own

Kirkwood

1. They let the audience sing in Betterman and even flow, I pay to hear Eddie sing and the band to play, so let me enjoy that!
2. Daughter Tag, it sometimes get a little bit boring.
3. Boom. Sorry but don´t like piano/keyboard in rock music

7. too long between albums.. in 3 years the Beatles whould have released 298 songs...

i agree it's too long, but let's not forget that the beatles did not tour, and when they did half the songs on their albums were covers. plus, they only lasted 8 years at that pace before ending up hating each other.

the one thing i don't like is that stone doesn't control the band anymore. he's far and away the best songwriter and i wish he had a stronger presence in the band.

Not to mention the majority of Beatles songs (while amazing) were usually under 3 minutes long, with a lot of their big hits being barely over 2 minutes. Not to mention between Lennon, McCartney and Harrison you had three of the greatest songwriters in popular music.

well, It is just a personal opinon!!! so why i'm I wrong, because it doesn't coincide with your opinion?
I really don't give a fat rats ass what you think of me.....so , have a great day !!

1. Yellow Ledbetter closing too many shows. Predictable!

2. Hidden songs (I know they didn't invent them but I hate that they use them).

3. Meathead fans chanting, "Eddie, Eddie, Eddie..."

reversedarwinism

Last album and some of Riot Act seem half assed. PJ used to make great sounds for songs, with lots of builds and dramatic parts in the music. The recent albums seem to be just trying to make songs. Just play a riff behind these words. Seems that they are either trying to hard or not enough. They don't seem truely inspired like they did on Binaural and everything before.

Boom's circus clown organ sound. I like the organ in rock, but his sound is just cheesy to me.

Thats it.
