Hi there my fellow Jammers! As you can see I'm brand spankin' new 
And I really apologize in advance to the admins and the moderators, because I really have no clue where to introduce myself since I am just a newbie, so if this topic is in the wrong place, then definitely move it..:) Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, My name is Reem and I'm 17 going 18 years old and I've just recently became a fan, I've always been a fan of grunge, but I had this stupid front I used to put up, that Nirvana were the only grungers and are the best and that anything that came after them were copy-cats...yeah, I was that narrow-minded Nirvana head I still love them and no doubt they are great, and I've always kinda liked "Jeremy" since I heard it like 4 or 5 years ago, but that still didn't break my Nirvana front, then just recently I heard "Black" while I was trying to complie a Rock'n'Roll CD and that broke the barrier for me! What a song, probably one the most emotional and painful songs out there and since hearing that a few months back, I've been addicted to Pearl Jam ever since...I just never realized what an amazing band they are and heck, I even listen to them now more than Nirvana lol, which is saying alot, because I was a worshiper! Surely, Nirvana is great, but I have this feeling that Pearl Jam is even greater, just the lyrics and their music and the way so many can relate to them, it's really amazing....Okay, so that's a not so brief intro on myself, I hope you'll forgive me lol....But that's how it happened and I decided to join the forum to know other crazed Jammers like myself 
Somewhere where I can pour my "Jam-ness" to :P
Anyways, take care all and I truly hope to know some of you...Keep on rockin' in the free world

ok, back on topic...
You got to spend it all
Kushikushun, hehe, well I'm proud to be a fan of a band that acutally makes good music, I maybe 17, but my music choice is much more grown up, I'm not bragging or showing off, but this is true, I just can't stand some of the music that's on today and I'm a huge fan of rock'n'roll and I believe now it's dead, but thank God for Pearl Jam, they're still carrying the torch and creating nothing but sweet Rock'n'Roll that so many legends spent time and creativity on building it! Sadly I haven't seen them live yet, I can't imagine what that's like either, to see them live, that would be a dream come true, hopefully, if they are going to tour in Europe someday lol, then I will definitely fly there and make a plan!
Again! Thank you guys sooo much for giving me a nice warm welcome, you guys are already giving me a feel that this is the place to be! Byrnzie, AMEN TO THAT Nirvana comment
Alright thanks again and take care of yourselves, see ya around the forum!

You're almost 18, so I'm pretty sure within three or four years, you'd definitely LOVE PJ more than Nirvana. Nirvana's music slowly drifted away from me as I got older but PJ's music remain with me even their earlier records b/c I think Eddie writes songs that all people of all ages can relate to.

LongRd, is it possible to love Pearl Jam more than I do now?
And hey JohnBriggs! Great to see another newbie here on with me, haha, so we can discover things together
Anyways, thanks for the millionth time and take care all!
Cheers, Reem!

And if you have lots more of PJ's catalogue still to hear then it's going to be a great journey for you. I wish I still had that fresh feeling.
I've been a die-fan for over ten years now and in two weeks I'll be doing my first fan tour to them. I've only seen them once, and ever since I've been into their live bootlegs. So for awhile, it was just the studio, lyrics and music then the live performances took it to another new level of love. And in two weeks, it will reach another level. hehe. I know I'm not making sense but you understand. Here's a thread I made that kinda explains my love and passion for PJ. http://forums.pearljam.com/showthread.php?t=284183
I'm haven't even gotten into the posters yet. Still don't why what al the fuss is about but maybe sooner I'll be into them like others.

Wolfbear, cooool, you've been to a Nirvana concert? That's awesome, but yeah, before I actually used to go for the more punk rock kinda thing, I used to like those fast beats and pulsating energy, but now that I'm older, it slowed down, now I like that good ol' rock'n'roll sound that also has a right degree of energy not too hard to make you're head spin out of control, the conserved kind of head-spinning that's just the right degree, like PJ their music is something I relate to much more than Nirvana now looking back a few years ago lol....
Hey LongRd, that's so awesome that you get to drive from here to here on your own and first tour, wish ya all the best mate and wow, I bet seeing PJ live is a real love booster! It'd be a dream to see them, I'm just really hoping that they'll tour Europe, because I will definitely do everything in my power to go and see them!
Again! Cheers mates!

Oh just keep your eyes and hears open after they're done with the East coast tour. They're recording a NEW album so, I'm sure they'll hit Europe and overseas soon.

the piece of shit today.

This Reem is about mid 30ish.
But if he is a cousin or something, tell him Chad still thinks you're

Without any further delay..
