edited March 2008 in The Porch
Your concert attendance resume?
Your mileage traveled to see Pearl Jam?
Your feelings when you hear there on the radio?
Your feelings when you see them live?
Your poster collection?
Your 10 Club number?
Your knowledge of lyrics?
Your boot collection?
Your cover band capabilities?
Your job?

Anything?

What?
I love to turn you on

    It isn't a competition, I don't think it particularly matters who the 'biggest fan' is. It's all about the personal experience and joy. There are some people on here that there's no point trying to compete with!

    I failed miserably at this. Both my kids detest Pearl Jam. But they can give you pretty much any random fact about PJ.........that's my fault.

    I wouldn't go and say I'm a bigger fan than everyone, because it's a shared love. It's like arguing with siblings about who loves Mom/Dad more. I will throw a few things out there that would help my case if I DID choose to argue.

    1. My Pearl Jam tattoo
    2. Knowing AND remembering nearly every single song and riff on the guitar just because I truly enjoy playing them (and b/c Stone makes them so f*cking catchy).
    3. Knowing how to play nearly any Pearl Jam song on the drums in the styles of Dave A, Jack Irons, and Matt Cameron.
    4. The amount of people that I have made into fans not by preaching and forcing it on them, but just pure second-hand exposure (when people come over to my house for a party, they are usually the ones that will go ahead and put on one of my 5 PJ DVDs, but everyone goes "Figures... Kevin would put on a PJ DVD at his own party").
    5. The fact that a lot of times when people I know approach me, they tell me how they fell in love with a new PJ song (knowing how happy I'd be to agree how great it is and tell them interesting facts about it) rather than just a "Hey, What's goin on".
    6. I don't even have to tell people I like PJ anymore. Usually, someone I know has already done it for me.

    nothing in my opinion, fan status is ridiculous

    LMFAO!!!!! :D I laughed out loud when I read this....when I saw this thread I expected to see a whole heap of Wanky posts form people stating why they, for some stupid reason, think they're a bigger fan than others :rolleyes:
    Your post cracked me up - totally unexpected :D









    PS: can I have one? :o;) hehe

    Well said!!! :D That's exactly how I feel :)

    It cracks me up when I read on this pit about someone saying they're a bigger fan than others beacause....blah blah blah :rolleyes: Yeah yeah..."my dicks bigger than your dick" :rolleyes: What a crock o' shite!

    The "I own so much PJ merch and albums and posters and boots etc etc" and "I've been to X amount of shows" and my 10 club numbers really low, means jack shit....except that you're really lucky that you're able to afford all of those things, be able to travel to so many gigs, you joined the club in the early days - instead of waiting like a lot of people - good for you!


    As far as I'm concerned.....if you love Pearl Jam - you're as big a fan as the next :D
