    If I, as a member of Pearl Jam, saw the sense of entitlement amongst the people on this forum, I would be very disappointed in this fan base. 
    They may also recognize that these are the people that helped make them filthy rich.  Entitled, sure, but they also pay a lot of money for a service.  PJ is a monopoly but making things more convenient for the customer is nice too.  
    Fandom is the next logical outgrowth of "You didn't build that!" Maybe that is what Bernie is explaining to Ed here:

    Ha.  We didn’t build it but we do buy it.

    I would think they would be more disappointed in the cancerous sheep mentality.

    Do you think any of them read these forums? If you were a band member, would you come here? 
    Yes and yes.

    I would definitely visit, maybe troll a few users from time to time. In the thread where you post your collection, just put some one of kind items mixed in with a framed nutsack vulture

    Woudn't surprise me if they do. I mean, this is their life. And with PJ in wind-down mode these last few years, they probably have more free time than most adults of working age.

    I don’t think they do often.  But I bet once in a blue moon they check things out.  I doubt they sit around and talk about it.  But sure, why not. Especially when they’re touring I bet they read some feedback.  

    Ed, Stone, Jeff, Mike and Matt - if you’re reading this, please come to houston.

    Ok, I don't know if they do personally but somebody close to the band did, at least on tour.  Now I get to toot my own horn.  Way back in 2009 while PJ was touring Australia, there was a thread about what covers they should do.   I said they should do AC/DC's If You Want Blood You Got It, right into Blood.  And they did that like the day after I suggested it.  So I can't say that the actual band members do or did go on the forum, but somebody close to them definitely did.  That's way too big a coincidence.

    Funny this question came up.  I was just wondering about that this morning and then I asked myself, "So, self, if you were a member of Pearl Jam, would you poke your head in her now and then?"  Maybe, a little.  I think I would glance as I drove by rather than rubber neck.

    I can picture a few of them might check it out, I I doubt for very often or for very long.
