So I've just started dating this girl. She is a cheerleader type, likes sports, really cool, but knows NOTHING about Pearl Jam. I thought the time was right, so I popped in SVT to begin the education process... She fell asleep.

Where do I turn next?

    J/K :)

    But you need to start the education at ground level. Start with Yield and build up to No Code, throw in LATG and TB2000 when you can...


    And any girl that can sleep during SVT may need her eyes checked....

    Start tossing Pearl Jam into every second sentence you say. It doesn't even have to be relevant.

    "I think I'm gonna order Chinese food for Pearl Jam dinner."
    "What's on TV? Oh, some cartoons, Pearl Jam a documentary about the World Wars..."
    "Officer! This man is Pearl Jam stabbing me with a knife!"

    Eventually, this verbal conditioning will make her associate Pearl Jam with pretty much every aspect of life, from dinner, to being stabbed with a knife. Then, when you turn on SVT again, she'll either sit and watch happily, or make dinner... or stab you.

    dude its not that big a deal, she doesnt HAVE to like pj. just play their music as you would normally, if she likes it, she will come around to it, then you can begin "the education process".

    Don't give up, she'll get it eventually :)

    And if she doesn't, oh well, I'm sure you can find other common ground :)

    Agreed. If you like her, don't try and force PJ on her. If she shows an interest, perhaps THEN start weening her onto it. If she doesn't, and you keep pushing it on her, you'll most likely push her away for no good reason.

    I personally don't find SVT that interesting and can see why someone who isn't a fan might fall asleep during it. I can even see myself falling asleep during it if I wasn't in the mood. Owned it for years...think i've watched it once. Doesn't live up to the hype around it for me.

    I would have played the MSG dvd instead.


    SVT is kinda boring at times IMO. And to a person that knows nothing about PJ I'm sure it's really boring. Like you found out. Good luck next time. :)

    Play your music, if she doesn't like it, toss her off the balcony...

    no brainer..

    Let her come to Pearl Jam. If you try to bring her there she will fight it.

    I fell asleep to SVT just last weekend. Granted I was hungover and only had 2 hours sleep the night before. Very soothing movie to sleep to!

    I think I would have started with the lastest DVD. SVT is an aquired taste, IMO

    Make her a mix CD of songs you think she may like. then, casually play it when you all are driving somewhere.

    It may prove more successful than the beating over the head approach :)

    you have to time it just right. just have it on in the background during an emotional moment (preferably Black or something like that). then she will forever have that song tied to that moment and hopefully love it. or hate it. its a 50/50 shot.

    SVT is really only for the PJ nerd herd. I don't think a person who isn't a fan yet could really get into it.

    Ya gotta start slow.
  • toastertoaster Posts: 152
    A (to her unknown?) band making an album that's not really that well-known? Five guys talking about a binch of songs she haven't heard and she fell asleep? REALLY!? ;) Even I fell asleep when I watched it the first time because I'd never heard Yield. You need to start a little more light. Imagine in Cornice or LATG should do the trick. At least it worked for me.
  • pearljammin41pearljammin41 Posts: 465
    Thanks for all the suggestions..... I guess I am a huge PJ nerd and love Yield too much not to understand it....

    Why does she have to like PJ? Your not going to get somebody to like anything if you force feed it to them. I love PJ but rarely do I ever bring it up or play it when im with my friends. Just play it whenever and make no mention about it..if she asks who it is just say its pearl jam.

    Tell her what Pearl Jam mean to you, and if she likes you she should try and except it

    Oh, the long term prospects for this may not be great, but don't give up just yet. Ten is surely the starter for erm ten, when introducing someone to PJ :) Give it a whirl.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....
