    -I don’t know when Eddie turned into Richard Pryor.  We all know he knows the “F word”.  This year’s bootlegs seem to reveal him slipping from R-rated to NC-17.  It seems unnecessary to me.  Call me a prude if you wish.
    -Lightning Bolt is mostly boring/uninspired stuff
    -I wish they would actually “jam out” some songs more.  I’ll take a 10 minute version of something rocking anytime. 
    -I didn’t like the band charging $2 for a paper ticket after forcing everyone to use an e-ticket on the last tour.  
    -Ben Harper is pretty mediocre.  
    -Sonic Youth is a perfect opener for PJ. 
    -Matt Cameron was much better with Soundgarden. 
    -Recent shows have started to feel too much like telethons/political rallies.  Please don’t turn into U2 on us!

    The albums with the worst cover art contain amazing music. (Ten, VS, No Code, Yield, Binaural, Riot Act, Avocado)
    The albums with the best cover art contain my least favorite songs, musically. (Vitalogy, Lightning Bolt)
    I can't fit Backspacer into this thought.

    I love that people think the msg shows are overrated.  Hopefully you guys all stay home the next time they play there.

    I hope this MSG disappointment is sincere - I"ll happily force myself to get a better seat at the best venue. 

    Hampton Coliseum is a kick ass venue.

    I've never really thought all that much of Cornell's voice.

    The Beatles were the Backstreet Boys of the 60s
    And then they made Revolver! I can't wait for Backstreet boys to answer that.

    Stone is the best overall musician in the group (playing, songwriting, etc.). And it’s not close. 
    Boston '06
    Mansfield '08
    Hartford '10
    Worcester, Hartford '13
    Global Citizen, NY '15

    Frusciante is a better guitar player then both Mike and Stone. 

    I've yet to come across a reason to think otherwise. Anyone???
