    Just a few minor ones...

    1 - When songs like Daughter and Crazy Mary live get stretched into like 10-minute songs. At about the six-minute mark, I usually start thinking "OK, let's move this along."

    2 - I'd love for them to add a few more cover songs.....especially on tours like the one this past June where they didn't have a new album to work off of. I don't really get this one. You'd think they'd have a ton more fun trying out some old '70s rock song than playing Evenflow again.

    3 - And not really on them, but with regards to the posters.....why not print like five times as many of these things for every show? It's not like they're gonna go to waste. Would make five times as many people happy.

    4 - And I agree...I hate people that list their shows in their signature. What a pompous bunch of.......wait.....DOUF!

    I'm not sure how you can be assuming and vague at the same time

    At the Storytellers taping, where he said those who don't agree with him could go fuck themselves.

    You can be assuming and vague when you are absolutely sure you are right and don't feel the need to back any of your claims by evidence or by showing you have carefully considered your opponent's point of view.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I'm sorry...

    But
    What does a college education have to do with anything?

    I hate to break it to you friend...but college means DICK...and it sure as fuck doesn't earn you the right to speak your mind about the direction of this country.

    I don't need to piss away 30 grand a year just to make myself educated, intellegent and informed.

    So fucking what if Eddie isn't a college grad.

    He's better for it.

    No shit!!! Agreed.
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream

    I don't like the fact that their concerts always go by so fast ;)

    You must have missed what he said after that comment... about having differing views and accepting that as long as you did research and weren't blindly following the ideals of people without any info to back it up....
    This is your notice that there is a problem with your signature. Please remove it.

    I want an epic double album, not necessarily a concept album...

    I want Pearl Jam to get back to No Code type stuff

    let's have an album that flows instead of meanders

    Yikes, really?

    How arrogant a statement can you make. Yes, he may lack a college degree, but that says nothing about his intelligence or ability to understand world issues.

    And there are lots of dumbasses with degrees out there ;) I'm just sayin...

    I found that funny, I don't think it was ment to be utterly dismissive. He clarified it afterward by saying they (the band) have a purpose, and the point of having a purpose or cause is to be dedicated to it. Otherwise there will be no effective change.

    I don't like (their) patriotism - I understand it in a way (PEOPLE have the power), but my opinion is that patriotism is more a way of excluding others, a way of irrational community under symbols, weak relationsships, anonymity, etc.

    You think your degree makes you more intelligent, or creative? The knowledge you acquire for 30K a year can be found on the internet in about 1 minute; I am getting through med school in large part via wikipedia and actually succeeding! Listening to professors will stimulate you, but if your eyes and ears are open then you can get knowledge from everywhere.
    1. Oh....elitist fans piss me off, mainly cause they hog all the best seats and think they deserve it.

    Everytime I hear Ed add the word fuck to a song, makes me cringe and I think about the wedding singer in the film Old School.

    was the whole releasing some of the live shows through verizon. you know, supporting a giant multinational corporation by giving a bunch of advertising to a company that complied with warrentless wiretapping and the like...

    of course whenever anyone stands up and says anything political, they open themselves up for charges of hypocrisy, and i'd rather see the band take stands than not...still, seeing all that verizon shit on last summer's tour was hard to stomach...

    Ok...

    - The last album sucked.

    - The psychotic fans who buy everything they put out/wait for hours to get a glimpse of Ed/think McCready is the best guitar player in rock.

    - The ticket distribution system is pretty weak. They really need a new server.

    - The fact they only tour small portions of the United States, and killing fan bases in areas that haven't seen the band live in close to 5 years.

    - Vedder's solo album sucked...wait I guess that's not PJ...

    well, that's all I can come up with right now.

    Lil Wayne is better than Pearl Jam.
