Please watch for my "Hey Gonzo1977, pull you big boy pants up and stop wahhhh'ing" text tonight

Please do...if you feel that it is "necessary".

I hope the band reads Biggest Waves text, sends Boom out to play a 28 minute unreleased organ song and then heads off to Boston.

"Thanks and Goodnight"

Wouldn't that be nice?

It wasn't aimed specifically towrds you, it was a general comment. The comment about Boom is one that is shared by many. It was a joke. Nothing more, nothing less, although I don't think he adds anything to the band. They did fine before him and would do the same if he was not there. Like I said before. People are throwing bottles and beenie babies on stage and that's defended. A text message is just that. A text message. It can not physically harm someone like a bottle or any other object can.

bottle and beenie babies throwing on stage... not cool either..

I'm not arguing that you should or not like boom, I wish In My Tree went back to the way it was and that Boom stayed away from that song... I like it better without him...

I'm not saying you should like him but what's the need to be a jerk about it?
I just think your txt msg wasn't nice regardless or whether they see it or not...

You all need to text msgs about the incredible things that Stone can do, like the thread that was on here. that would pass the time "constructively".

If people are really offended by that text, how do you make it through life? If you are that bent about that how do react when someone says something about your kid, friend or whoever?


I personally found it hilarious, its something that i have thought since In My Tree was destroyed to fit in an organ solo.

Okay...I understand you don't like Boom or Boom's contribution to the band...so what.
But why do you have to be such a dick about it?

What you did was insulting...it wasn't needed.

I don't know if you play an instrument, or play in a band, or have ever gone on tour...but that kind of shit actually does hurt; especially when you're out on tour for a month in the summertime working your ass off.

Just Imagine for a second being up there on stage and having some jackass send a message like that on the giant screen for everyone to read.

You may not believe it...but it is a job...and it can be difficult.

Boom's a good musician, he's earned his place in Pearl Jam and personally I think his contributions live and on record have been amazing.

He belongs on that MSG stage and he doesn't need some cocksucker punk kid in the crowd sending asshole messages about him on the screen.

You may has well have thrown a bottle.

wow. just wow.

No offense but have you talked to Boom about this and gotten his
feelings on the subject?

come on, you really think the guy gives a shit about it?
I lay you 50 to 1 odds that even if he saw the message, which I highly
doubt he did, that he was laughing his head off about it.

seriously Francis, lighten up a bit.

Ok, that's your opinion and you're entititled to it, as am I.

Punk Kid? That's funny. If you only knew how old I was.
