    If Pearl Jam are really about the fans they love, they wouldn't play the BDO...


    DISCLAIMER: No sweat stained ones allowed...


    Sadly I don't think the way pearl Jam tour here is about the fans much any more. It is more about the quickest, easiest, most cost effective way to tour. Like they did in 09. So if that is what they are about the BDO will happen.

    Don't get me wrong I understand their reason. They are all older, have families, funding alot of it off theirown back now without a major record label so I fully get why they wouldn't want to fund spending a month here to do 12 or so shows when they can play to the same number of people over 5 shows like 09.

    Yep. Don't count out an arena tour here again though. I think their decisions about where to play/how many shows are based on what they can be fucked doing at the time really. In 09 they weren't going to even come here, but Mike and Ed were going to be down at the same time and they went, OK let's play 5 massive shows in a short time and make a holiday of it (this is what I heard, anyway).
    Come to send, not condescend...

    Well I'm kind of hoping PJ do play BDO now so that I can go and see if it's really as bad as people say it is. I'll make sure I wear my dirtiest, smelliest hat too. ;)

    Hmmm. Well I remember reading in 09 that Mike and his family were already here two weeks before the tour started and that Mike was surfing at Coolangatta.

    Ok

    So here's how I see it
    NO ONE wants this to be true
    No one. If it is true I'm gonna sulk. Vital5 is eating hats.
    Ek is running naked around the block (potentially wearing a hat to make it super tasty for the aforementioned hat eater)
    Were gonna make a mega 10c group and take out the hipster fucks
    I'm probs gonna clobber any jerk that stand near me drunkenly swaying constantly yelling betterman

    But one way or another. if. IF they are on it were all gonna go and were all gonna have an amazing time






    And were all gonna take a sign that says smile cause I really wanna hear it :$

    If they do the BDO lets hope they do all of lost dogs + leatherman which should been on it, that will just leave the FAITHFUL to enjoy the show and there is a few songs off LD that I have'nt seen live yet. ;)
    Imagine all the NON FAITHFUL going crazy to betterman and last kiss :evil:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

    the only way that this is good news is if they announce side shows... which they never fucking would in new zealand.


    this will not be good news if it's true. i just can't do it. i can't drag my ass up to auckland for a potential 1.5 hour good time (no guarantees with this festival) when the rest of it is a guaranteed shitfest.

    PLEASE pearl jam. don't do it! unless you play here as a side show like soundgarden did in 1997. missed the big day out but didn't give a shit because i got to see soundgarden at the wellington town hall.

    qotsa owe us a fucking gig too given they cancelled the welly town hall show in february.

    so. come for BDO, but both o'yall better come down to wellington!

    I'll take any pearl jam I can get. If i i make it to four of these shows it will take my total of seeing eddie vedder to 11 times in less than 12 months. The BDO will not be as bad as you guys think it is going to be. None of the younger brigade even know who pearl jam is, thet will all head off to the boiler room or simlilar and leave pearl jam to us, this is exactly whats happened when I saw neil young at the bdo a couple of years ago. and the sweaty 30 year old, it cannot be any worse than 09 when in auckland I got pissed on by some loser.

    so is the "no headliners starting with a P" facebook post enough to stop this madness?

    Sure does...and rules out many other that were heavily rumoured...Prince, Radiohead, RHCP. BDO has a history of recycling their acts (KOL, Tool, Muse, the Prodigy, Foo Fighters, System of a Down, Chemical Brothers, Basement Jaxx, Kasabian, Rammstein, Deftones, Iggy and the Stooges are just a couple who've played at least twice) so I dare say the headliner has already played BDO before.
