OMG release day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm heading off to the record store soon. Wish me luck!!! And Dean, that fucking Tool fan what a fucking motherfucking cunt. As much as I like Tool some fans can be so fucking ignorant. At least Pearl Jam fans will also be getting Tool. Doubt many Tool fans will be getting Pearl Jam. What a bunch of ignorant fucks. Sorry but that comment was real low. I could understand if it was Nickleback or some other shithouse band.

Anyway I can't wait. I've been a Pearl Jam fan since eary 2003. But I've got pretty much everything by them since then and this has been a long wait for new material. This is officially the best day of the year. I don't think anything else will top it. Except maybe a Pearl Jam show in NZ.

Hey man, not sure that's really necessary. We're all fans, but lets not get carried away. I don't think the mods would like that language.

Well, I didn't end up going to teh midnight release, how lame of me! But after reading the posts that show the 10C version of the album I will have to pick up the regualr release too, now. Can't decide to get the 22.99 Warehouse one or $30 at CD/DVD store and get the poster, and entry to the competition. Decisions, decisions...

As for the concerts, Thursday is the big day, right? I'm hanging out to hear where they are playing...

I'm sorry i got carried away. Bazz go get it!!! I'm on round 2 now. And LOVING IT!!! Get it from sounds to get the poster and go in the draw. I am looking forward to Thursday. Got my Visa at the ready.

I'm fine with it, just wouldn't want you to get banned at this crucial time.
So you got the poster? Is it decent looking? Which concerts are you going to go to?

On an unrelated note, has anyone seen the WWS video yet? A few of my friends have seen it on C4 and Alt a couple of times. I've yet to see it!

Just a word of warning. In late 2002 when the tour dates for Australia were announced, NZ missed out. I was gutted. So in the spirit of Perth 98, I co organised a petition. We had thousand of signatures. We even offered to draw, at random, a prize of a free ticket to see PJ if we were sucessful. We werent. We did send the petition to the band

The point is, I put so much time into the petition, coordinating people all over the country, and we failed. We had forms on the counter at a number of music stores, we had the petition advertised on the Rock, but we failed.

The reasons? I have heard a few things, venues, ticket demand etc. I guess I dont know.

Point is, I cant get my hopes up for thursday. Oh I love this band, that was demonstrated by the 100s of hours I put into the petition. Forgive me being cynical, but I cant get excited for fear of further dissapointment.

I hope however that I am wrong

Cheers

Thursday is supposedly the day the Australasian tour is announced. I'm pretty hopeful that they will play NZ this time. I can't see them skipping us again...

Where do these rumours come from ???
Radio stations??? or just word of mouth?

Assuming the rumoured tour dates are true: Which shows would you guys be going to and who all are tenclub members?

PS: I've had to go to work after only listening to the album once. This is hell.

Probably just both Auckland shows if they do 2 and a few shows in Oz. That is assuming we can get 10C tickets to as many shows as we want and both NZ and Oz...
