Hey there rich enough by now to do it...

I still don't want to believe Ed wouldn't do it for love...unless the money has gone to his head like the rest of you....bloody capitalists!!!

"they (pearl jam) are a business."

I've been quite frozen by this statement right now. If Pearl Jam wouldn't do it for love, what the hell were they looking for 10 years before? For money?

And unfortunately you don't know this matter of fact:

Pearl Jam fought aganist Ticketmaster because of selling the concert tickets very high and had this problem to be settled in court. "Animal" lyrics were written to protest this fuckin' monopoly company, that kept the ticket prices high madly for years ago.

Yeah, these lyrics were dedicated to Ticketmaster.

" said one, two, three, four, five against one
five, five.. five, five... FIVE AGANIST ONE.. "

If they come, I'll give the hotel money, haha.

Pearl Jam is another way of a word called love.

out of love they charged me nearly $200 for 2 tickets to the Wembley, London show... thats two times more expensive than any other gig i've been to... yes PJ are definitely fighting for cheaper ticket prices

Haha, I've forgotten to write the result of trial. Pearl Jam wrote a petition to senate to inform them about this problem; but American government was as always with the powerful one, "Moneymonster" .

I think it's still not their fault...

Here is the link to where I found this article. Doesn't sound like a place that I'd want to travel to as an American.

"SECURITY AND SAFETY ^
Terrorist bombings -- some with significant numbers of casualties -- over the past two years have struck religious, political, and business targets in a variety of locations in Turkey. The potential remains throughout Turkey for violence and terrorist actions against U.S. citizens and interests, both by transnational and indigenous terrorist organizations.

In November 2003 the Al-Qa'ida network was responsible for four large suicide bombings in Istanbul that targeted western interests. The British Consulate, HSBC Bank, and two synagogues were targeted by massive suicide truck bombs that killed dozens of people and wounded hundreds. These incidents represent a significant change from prior attacks in Turkey and show an increasing willingness on the part of the terrorist to attack Western targets. Consistent with Al-Qa'ida's world-wide operations, and as indicated in State Department world wide public announcements, it is possible that a terror cell fostered by Al-Qa'ida could strike again in Turkey without warning."

I know news about terrorism has always been shown like a huge barrier to the bands. That link you left is just one of them.

The 1996 year Pearl Jam had been here, there was still terrorism in Turkiye. Are there any people living in 100 % peace in their countries? I wish, there were...

And today, lots of succesful bands and singers like TOOL, Manic Street Preachers, Chris Cornell, Robert Plant, Duran Duran, Franz Ferdinand, Norah Jones, The Smashing Pumkins are coming to give concerts here. They'll give their concerts in peace and safety.

I still defend PJ has no political fear or handicap about it.
