    Sting and all of his music is terrible
    Dave Matthew's Band are awful
    The Grateful Dead are unlistenable
    95% of rap/hip hop is just awful

    Dave A's drumming was best for Pearl Jam's sound but Matt Cameron is the best drummer for the longevity of the band
    There is no longer the chance of something crazy or dangerous happening at a PJ show like there used to be
    Boom Gaspar adds next to nothing musically for the band and should probably just be retired from it
    Crazy Mary is a waste of time and once eliminated is another reason to scrap Gaspar
    Goatees haven't been cool for a long time and Ed should scrap the beard/goatee thing for a while. That big white hat he wears sometimes has to go as well
    I always thought Ament was overweight but he's actually pretty fit. 
    The success of the band and their schedule of festivals and stuff is really diminishing their creative output as witnessed by the huge gap between albums here lately.  I am concerned they lack the fire 
    Ed is coming to my town this Spring for a solo festival show and I'm kinda not that interested in going
    Sting has some good songs.  He also has a lot of bad songs.
    Yeah, PJ shows are a dad fest now
    Sorry Boom, but agreed
    Crazy Mary was once a good song that got overplayed and once Boom came it got destroyed
    Not into goatees myself.  Yeah, the hat is kind of lame
    No comment regarding Ament
    100% spot on about the festivals.  Bottom line has sucked from top line of creativity.
    Ed solo shows: snooze.

    Good post. This I like apart from the Jeff bit. Jeff has always been in great shape.

    After this debacle, I'm calling out every single person who calls Pearl Jam's 8th studio album "Avocado" from now on. :rofl::weary:
    I call it that sorry. Not sorry

    Anyone who would choose to go and see a Pearl Jam tribute band when Mudhoney is on in the same town on the same night is not okay, I believe.

    I've never seen an Ed solo show but I've heard good things (and bad things, but those are about the crowds). I would definitely take the opportunity if I had it. 

    The Police had some great, classic songs.

    I would be that guy. Just don't get mudhoney.  And I don't get QOTSA and foo fighters. All not for me

    Eddie should stop the David Lee Roth style leaps off the drum riser before it's too late.

    Dave Mathews Band- I don't think that is unpopular. That's why I haven't heard him on the radio in about 15 years.
    95% of rap/hip being unlistenable. Close, but you're off by about 5%.

    An interesting opinion, except I'd keep Boom, he adds cool texture to the live sound, and the dead are a great listen.

    I'm glad PJ concerts are "dad fests" now. It's nice to be around a group of people with which you have something in common - although I did see a lot of probable moms in Seattle this summer.

    Edit: Other than Pearl Jam fandom, of course!

    I'd rather see Creed than a Pearl Jam cover/tribute band.  Nothing is more ridiculous to me than play acting as a band that is actually still active.

    Maybe so but if the "real deal" isn't coming to a town near you in the foreseeable future, it might be an band aid solution to the absence.
    (FTR: I've yet to see a PJ tribute act).

    I've got no shortage of boots that I have not given proper attention too.  And while boots are not the same as in concert, it is way better to me than hearing a facsimile or the music.

    Did you watch cartoons growing up or do you only recall real people? 
    I have my opinion and am sticking to it.

    Liberal use of active.
