ill tell you how i see it..
its simple...

i pay attention to all those awesome-not greedy fans here at the forum,and other social media and all those cool fans i meet in person at the shows..
really so great people around,im not wasting time to the ones will find a reason to complain even why their shadow is black color and why the sun rise up from the east and not the west..

Exactly.
Its a reasonably large "community" and there are going to be all types in the community, some will act greedy or selfish at times, some will complain because thats just what they do best, but most are pretty cool.

Bitching is an Art!!All want their own painting!!!

While I completely love Chevelle, their website is almost embarrassing haha. When you access the store content sometimes, either the page won't even load properly or you can't access the main page from there because it opens a whole new window. Gotta love the bands music though :thumbup:

No, no you don't .



I'd rather people be greedy for stuff that can benefit all of us, like shows, bootleg releases, new shirt designs than people being greedy by buying stuff just to flip it or just to say they own every bit of PJ merch.

I can understand not liking the flippers, but I don't think I understand the objection to someone being an avid PJ collector. Why would anyone care about that?

It doesn't really bother me all that much, but you know there are collectors that are just getting some limited item in the mail then tucking it away in their PJ stash and people that would actually put it to use get left out in the cold.

EDIT ^^^ haha, beat me to it.

PS - oh man, I just fucking HATE these theads. :roll:

go gluttons!

yes

I have nothing against the band/10c selling all kind of merchandise....To be honest with you...I rarely purchase anything from the 10c anymore...Unless it is vinly or cd etc...I also think one of the reasons that they went with the general admission lottery....Is that this will give a reason for fans to renew their fan club membership....This is just my theory...Not saying it is true....It is good move for the 10c..


I think most fans would just love to see pearl jam somewhat close to home city....When pearl jam is touring to support a new album.....I know pearl jam doens't tour like they did like for Riot Act album....I don't think fans are greedy...I think most fans just don't want to have to travel so far just to see pearl jam....This is just my own opinion....



I was a little disappointed when they announced the general admission lottery...But, I am over it...I am going to two shows via my 10c reserved seats.....It isn't going to be super great seat locations like I am use to....But, not much I can do about it.....

completely ridiculous!!! :nono:

What, one person posting something like that and then post after post after post disagreeing with him? I think that thread shows the exact opposite of the point you're trying to make.

No, my reaction to the thread is what I'm trying to get across. The fact that someone can say something or believe something that he does without even giving it a chance. Greediness goes far beyond just wanting more and more of something. It also includes when someone has been spoon fed everything he/she gets and that at the first sign of something that might taste a little negative, he/she throws a fit. And this is a great example of that. This guy is so use to the older Pearl Jam material that he's already shitting on the new album just because of a song that he hasn't even heard yet! I'm just talking about the original poster, not the rest of the members and their comments

Okay, fair enough... although I would argue that that isn't a reflection of greed, but only a reflection of the fact that some people put on their poopy pants when they get older and never take them off! Not greedy. Just hypercritical and closed minded.
