No More

This thread contains some of the most inane comments I've read, from BOTH sides of the debate ... "brown person bombing douchebag"? For real?

I would love to hear Far Behind or Long Nights instead I don't hate that song but it's been played to death this tour for such simple political track..

Eddie please don't play it again. Play something from ITW; every time he comes out for the second encore alone I cringe and hope for something else, but every time he plays that tired old stupid song. We get it, you don't like Bush. You should read the lyrics to that song and stop "evangelizing." So will I thanks.

"No More" is from Into the Wild at least my CD has the studio version and a live version.

I was actually waiting for "Here's to the State" in one of the nights. If you don't like "No War", wanna tell us what you think about "Here's to the State"?

These two songs have been playing non-stop both on my iPod and at home for the past two weeks. I just adore them.

Obviously, there are ppl who love and ppl who hate these songs.

I think it is a shit song. Period. Same as Gone. Very basic and just plain boring. Feels repetitive to me. I think when you begin referencing current events in songs, you date them. Eddie has always had the ability to address issues in a round about way, but with this song he just goes right at it.

And to the poster who asked why would you follow Pearl Jam if you don't agree with what they say-You can still like somebody if you don't agree with every single opinion that they have. I certainly don't agree with alot of what they have to say, but I still respect them for having their own opinion. I also respect their passion and sheer talent and belief in music. They are truly great showmen, performers and artists. That's why I love them.

My wife and I are complete polar opposites in our political views. Makes for a lively marriage, but we love and respect each other b/c of our own strength as individuals, if that makes sense. Besides, if we were exactly alike, it would be like being married to myself. Where's the fun in that?

My opinion is that they should use the No More slot for Bushleaguer instead ...

Oh, I absolutely agree that you can disagree and coexist. That is actually my point. Deal with it. And if you can't, don't listen. But why follow a band that frustrates you so much for speaking their mind? Why shout "Shut up and play!"? I mean, there are plenty of bands that do exactly that.

You shouldn't marry someone who you can't stand to listen to, and I am sure you didn't. The equivalent would be marrying someone who you tell to shut up every time she opens her mouth. No two people have identical opinions. This isn't about that. This is about people who are asking the band, directly or indirectly, to change. My point is simply that if you don't like the band's songs or politics, no one is forcing you to listen.

I think anytime you log onto this forum "NO MORE' should start playing in rotation. Going to see Pearl Jam in 2008 and complaining that Ed Vedder said political things is like going to the Indy 500 and complaining the cars are speeding. You people are very funny little nimwits. I'm just glad my favorite band are not republicans. Sucks to be you.

Good point. I'm more conservative in my views (not a republican), but I expect Ed to go on rants and accept it.

And I would be very concerned in a rock band was a bunch of republicans!

And No More is not a very good (musically) song ;-)

I don't much care for No More and would rather experience an ITW song, but your way off point and misinformed on many of your opinions.

First, if someone is hurt in Iraq it has nothing to do with terrorism or Al Qaeda. This is W's little war used to feed the war hungry money machine his VP once lead, Halliburton. Nothing more nothing less than a money making war for the rich.

Second, people who join the military sometimes this is there only way out of a very desperate situation. They sign up with the idea of serving their country for good. The President must do the same and the past 8 years he has failed and put our brother in harms way for profit. That sucks.

Give peace and love a chance.[/quote

How is this a war for the rich? I have a fair amount of money & i have seen no profit from the war. What you spread are lies and hate. This war was an excuse to overthrow Saddam not a war to make people rich.

If Barrack becomes president who is everyone going to blame their problems on? God forbid one takes responsability for themselves.
