Negative, as in wrong answer, as in they are truly a killer band, especially live. Period.hawke000 wrote:pearl jam sucks dick

Re: The Official Pearl Jam Sucks Thread
I'm with Hawke on this one. I can't stand the music or his voice. But I do agree that there are far worse bands that get lots of attention, well they suck dick too.

Re: The Official Pearl Jam Sucks Thread
Still puzzles me how WS fans can hate PJ so much. Maybe it has less to do with the music and more to do with a certain amount of homoerotic hero worship of the former's singer....hmm...
Not that there's anything wrong with that...just sayin'.

Even just to give PJ a shot, I went and watched and all it did was solidify how much I think they suck.

slightly better. but I think the biggest thing for me is his voice. it makes me want to punch something.

Re: The Official Pearl Jam Sucks Thread
I guess this thread is ok. I mean, there's been a bunch of "White Stripes Suck" threads on the Pearl Jam forums over the years, so I guess turnabout is fair play.

you say that like it's a bad thing.hawke000 wrote:pearl jam sucks dick
anyway, i never cared for them much, back in the day (as the kids like to say) but they've grown on me with age. i think it was mostly vedder's, i dunno, attitude that rubbed me the wrong way. but, i have a lot of respect for their body of work now. have you seen their performance on that who tribute concert a few years back? their renditions of "can you see the real me" and "love reign o'er me" were show-stealers. seriously blew me away.
he is everything i hate...

Re: The Official Pearl Jam Sucks Thread
My opinion of Pearl Jam is very neutral. Do I hate them? No. Do I love them? No. The last album I own of theirs is 'Vs.', Which I liked. I actually liked both 'Ten' and 'Vs.'. But for some reason I just feel like I've had my Pearl Jam fill with those 2 albums. Never have seem them live which is odd as what I've seen and heard of them live I've enjoyed. Just never had the motivation to to see them and I guess I haven't the friends that have either.
More than anything I guess I could say that I like Pearl Jam for their political and charitable beliefs. From what I've read and heard about them over the years it sounds like they've been in numerous contracts that have gone bad. Record labels, ticket sales, etc.. But they've stood up for what matters most to them, their fans. Rather than ride the wave of capitalism they let their beliefs take hold and stand up for what they believe is right. Haven't they played numerous shows for charity?
Also, didn't they release a line of official live recordings of their shows? I checked into that years ago as I heard a couple versions of their songs that were obviously recorded live on various radio stations. I think that's a very cool thing as I'm a very big fan of live music recordings. I honestly wish there were more bands that adapted to this. What I'd do for an official line of White Stripes live recordings, among many others (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc.). Sure, there are hundreds of audience source live recordings, but it's also nice to have high production recordings from soundboard and great production equipment. Not to mention the official artwork and all of that sort of thing that us collectors eat up.
Seriously, I'm talking out of my ass. These are things I've heard and read over the years. How much is bullshit I haven't the slightest as I don't follow the band that close. But these are the things that would veer me away from claiming the band "sucks".
Speaking of a a band that sucks, I think the majority of you people should be taking your energy over to my thread = "The Official Greenhornes Suck Thread". Now that's a band I cannot understand being rated any more than below average. I've had to suffer through their shows far too many times for too many years. Whether it's been opening for bands or headlining, I have yet to be the slightest bit entertained by these wannabe garage band. And what are they at now, 2 decades of pathetic music? Seriously, what Jack White/Third Man sees in them I have no clue.
