Pearl Jam does not care about it's fans
or so it says in this article. It's the funniest thing I've read since I read that the United States had actually re-elected George Bush for a second term.http://www.theprovince.com/entertainmen ... story.html
Nickelback..... ....
No band cares more about the fans than Pearl Jam!

Translation:
Music's not so good, so let's just blow some shit up and distract 'em.
"Eewwwwwwww..........aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh..............this band is great"
I love PJ MORE because they DONT need to blow shit up. It's the music that leaves you awestruck, not the pyro bullshit.
"The sound was excellent, by the way, proving that unlike Pearl Jam, Nickelback cares enough about its fans to tour with production values."
I might have to check out their fan club and see what they offer the fans. Pearl Jam doesn't need production values, THEY are the production to an awesome show. I mean, we have Eddie and Mike Mc-fucking-Cready!
"The truth is, way more relate to "This Afternoon" than anything on In Rainbows."
I relate a lot more to anything that's on IN RAINBOWS than any of Nickleback's shit music.
"It's working folk's music, with more than a little country influence."
Only one man can capture the working man, and that's The Boss, not Nickleback.

Fuckin' hilarious. I don't normally actually laugh when reading but this is hilarious... "let's blow some shit up and distract 'em" CLASSIC.

Every once in a while, a band comes along that makes you rethink your perception of music; the Nirvanas, the Replacements of the world, they really innovate in a way that's both engaging and unique. I'd like to go on
record as saying that Nickelback somehow un-does the contributions of all of those great bands; they are bad enough to make any music fan begin to hate music.
Now, before I keep ranting, it's important to note that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and different musical tastes are part of what makes the world so interesting. That being said, anyone who enjoys the music of Nickelback is a complete and utter retard.
I first heard Nickelback's timeless hit "How You Remind Me," in high school, and I remember thinking...well, nothing, Nickelback music tends to numb thought. It was like Genesis, Bon Jovi, and Creed formed together and chose a frontman who looked like a bizzaro version of Kurt Cobain with a perm.
The first thing you'll notice when listening to a Nickelback song is that your ears have begun to bleed. That's because the singer of Nickelback, Chad Kroeger (who, it's fun to point out, has been arrested for driving drunk, though I'd tend to believe that it was a mistake since I doubt he can walk in a straight line or sound uninebriated in any circumstance), sings like a horse would sing, if someone tried to teach a horse English but then gave up after the horse learned a few basic vowels and consonants. "NEVERWHOWAAAASSSAAAAWAAAMAAAN", he exclaims, sounding as sincere as an insurance salesman. Every vowel is "a" or "o", and every rhyme is the first one-syllable word that appears in Webster's Rhyming Dictionary for 5th Grade Kids With ADD.
And if you're lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one of Nickelback's videos, you'll surely be impressed by the tight shirts and manicured Hollywood looks of everyone in the band. C'mon, this is supposed to be a rock band? Gary Glitter was more masculine and down-and-dirty than these guys.
Someone pointed out a few years ago that all Nickelback songs are the same, and yeah, they pretty much are. You can counter with, "Hey, Muddy Waters always used a basic I-IV-V progression,
too," but let's get this straight: Nickelback isn't playing the blues, and they're not putting their souls into their power chords. They're a commercial band repackaging a commercial product under a slightly different circumstance in order to reap money--not artistic integrity or musical dexterity--from the same damned thing they've been doing for years.
I know that I'm not going to be able to convince every Nickelback fan of the band's supreme suckitude, but you know what? I can live with that. As long as I systematically find and incapacitate them all. Once nobody's buying the crap, believe me; it'll disappear.
I'll let you get back to your web browsing.
i had to take a zantac after reading that article, good lord
I'd cancel my membership the day after a show where all these flashpots and what-nots are on the stage and goin off.
Too bad it doesn't read 'Nickelback's production values are off the sheets this time around! Throwing caution to the wind, they have decided it's in the best interest of themselves and the fans to be subject of indoor fireworks!!'
cause those never blow up in somebody's face or burn down buildings by accident... :oops:
and that's just the beginning

LIFE WASTED, BLOOD on the PORCH, LAST KISS is a WISHLIST DEEP DOWN NOTHING AS IT SEEMS WHY GO COME BACK ALIVE SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE and SMILE.
God Bless ya, they do suck! what i don't get is the members of PJ seem to love them, do they not see it, or were they just to young and impressionable at the time Kiss came out? Sadly these will be some of the first questions i ask them if i ever meet them. i'm gona be like "So Mike,...Kiss....Really?"
When i was 12 I LOVED Kiss. At least they got me into rock n roll. Let's face it, for a kid the alternatives were ABBA, Bay City Rollers and a bunch of substitute teachers....
And hey, I still think Ace is great.
Fuck'em

i go to PJ shows quite a bit... the sound seems good to me. Maybe I'm not an audiophile or anything like that... or maybe I don't go to concerts to critique the quality of the sound. Usually, I'm immersed in either singing... or celebrating an awesome choice of songs... or something like that.
but I will say this..
If you're Pearl Jam... and you've been told or you're fully aware that your sound is less superior than that of most other rock bands.... why risk releasing every single one of your live shows?
I've always thought that PJ raises the bar for their shows not only for the fans, but also because they know that many people will be able to listen to the concert after wards.
But... I've never ever thought to myself at a Pearl Jam show "wow, this sound is terrible" In all honesty, the only time I've ever once thought that 'sound' was bad at a concert was Our Lady Peace at the Skydome in like... 2003 or something.
Also... and I could be WAY off here... but due to Pearl Jam's vast catalog and considering that TO ME, not one... not a SINGLE one of their 100+ songs sounds similar to the next... it'd be harder to perfect the sound for all of the songs...
consider this:
If you're touring 17 songs all tour... I think it'd be easier to nail the quality of those songs as opposed to getting the quality right on for 70 songs...
and if I had to choose.. if I reallllly had to choose between Pearl Jam playing 20 perfect sounding songs all tour compared to Pearl Jam playing 80 average sounding songs all tour.... I choose 80 songs.
