Good point.
I have become more of a social liberal as I have gotten older, but I have also gotten more agressive in building up some wealth. Everyone changes, but obviously, rebels in the public spotlight are put under the microscope.0 -

No problem. In 2003, I bought a bunch of the East Coast shows I went to and traded a lot with a fan from Texas who bought a lot of shows from that region. The cool thing is we finally met at Lolla last year and we're still friends to this day.

This Verizon deal is a joke. "By requests from fans..." they are doing this???? Um, I'm pretty sure the bulk of Pearl Jam fans want more than 3 shitty songs playing out of a phone.

People complain because we've been fans of this band for years and years and they have officially given into a useless corporation deal. You can justify it all you want.

The old bootleg CD was great when it first came to be in 2000 cause it was all their own idea, spreading their music out to their fans. And they kept the prices low.

Uhh yeah I know...
And name me another band that is releasing live concert songs via cell phone??? So I guess this is the band's idea as well, plus one of the 3 songs EVERY night is FREE. As for prices being low, they still are for the digital download as well as the CD.
So I don't see where its a bad business deal at all....This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

In my opinion, there's only one bad thing with this whole deal - I didn't change my provider to Verizon last year like I was going to.
First Verizon gets Lost and now PJ. They're making a really compelling argument to switch providers.

But still no one has really explained how signing up with Verizon is any different then signing up with a major label like they did when they first formed? If the Verizon thing is a "usless corporation deal" why isn't their former contract with Epic/Sony (Sony is a massive corporation) also considered a "usless corporation deal". And it is not like Pearl Jam was every some underground indie garage band. Their first album was Ten (not their major label debut, their actual first album).0 -
...2323 wrote:$4 GAS? How about $4.55 here in Seattle. Thats nothing to cry about? Hmm..maybe I am not lucky enough to have whatever job you have bc thats a BIG deal. I haven't bought an album for 10years anyways so once again, sorry for expressing my opinion on this issue. GO PEARL JAM!
I'm not surprized you missed the point. All you focus on is gasoline.
The point being... 17 dollars today is not the same as 17 dollars 16 years ago. Or... 17 dollars in 2008 does not go as far as 17 dollars did in 1992.Allen Fieldhouse, home of the 2008 NCAA men's Basketball Champions! Go Jayhawks!

Look I'm not complaining about the cost.
When you put the name of your company next to your band, you now have a sponsor.
