They posted a story about 5 hrs ago about the Showbox thing, and they deleted it...even had it on the front page and deleted the link. The question is why would Rollingstone.com feel compelled to remove that story? They are a legit outfit, they can publish a story if they want...seems strange to me.

    because 90% of it is pure rumor ... the major department store crap ... the stuff about when it's being released ...

    all rumor.

    Or it is true and PJ is legally required not to say anything about it until the deal is finalized.

    I hope they partnered with Target, and I really hope its for a good cause or something so it shows you out there that are feeding into rumors what your true colors are.

    if the band is supported by whomever they choose to be supported by im sure they made the right choice and Im more then fine with that, otherwise if they were forced into it they can just call themselves "The Group Formally Known as Pearl Jam" or just "The Group" either way they make kick ass music!

    Yeah, Rolling Stone's blog gets most of its content from places like this forum.

    Case in point: last March, when I worked at a record store (so as to say, when we had one), a new Raconteurs record was added to our system. I was intrigued, so I went online to look for information. There wasn't any, so I posted the little info I had from our system file on a Racs fan forum and asked if anyone knew anything about it.

    Not long after, "news" of the possible album release was posted on rollingstone.com, quoting from my post.

    Moral of the story: until it's officially confirmed by the source, it's not 100% true.

    yeah, because we always find out news from the 10club first :lol:

    info always gets leaked this way before it is announced officially... the ten club is always the last to announce things

    yes, and for each bit of real info ... there are 10 more pieces of utter bullshit floating around ....

    so ... we don't know until it happens.

    Rollingstone has a 404 page to replace the article. If you look in the address bar you'll see some text. If you copy and paste that text with spaces into google and then put quotes on either end, you should pull up some interesting stuff.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    from what I can see ....... it's all the same crap that's being rumored about around here.
