You could turn it around and say those artist have to bash Axl and CD to make themselves feel better about their band and crappy last few albums right??
I'm pretty sure Pearl Jam aren't writing albums to please the masses like you'd like them to. Besides, I'm not sure the fans or the band agree with your statements about the crappy albums.
They're not bashing Axl, I'm sure Jeff Ament couldn't care less.
You really shouldn't take these jokes so personal every time and attack the bands who make them.
/jarmo
A lot of pearl jam fans think their last few albums were not even close to being as good as their first few. Sure some like it and that is fine, but their last few albums have been very weak. Not that album sales mean anything but their albums have sold less and less with each album if im not mistaken.
As for me taking these jokes personal, I dont, I just think its lame some people seem to like to take a shot at Axl or CD randomly. As for me attacking them, all I said was Jeff really should not talk since his bands last few albums have been weak.

Exactly. ?PJ's long history of musical integrity is virtually unmatched in this day and age. ?Their activity
and approach is an absolute credit to their legacy and should never be passed off as pandering to the masses.

Of course he's not. ?Though CD is obviously anticipated, it's also become the butt of many an industry joke in relation to the length of time it's taken.

Well you are clearly taking it personal because you feel the need to defend Axl. And you are attacking him by saying that his last few albums were subpar. Just let it go. This thread was supposed to be a joke and something to laugh at. I am sure if Axl heard what he said he would laugh too. Get a sense of humor.

I dunno if it's a case of him "waiting" for axl's album but more of a fact that within the industry the albums recording process has become a huge joke , ya know?
I think you might be onto something there Saul...
It?s only a joke to people like you. No one bitches when Trent or Maynard take forever to put out their albums for Tool and Nin. CD is one of the most anticipated albums ever. Jeff can joke all he wants that the new PJ album will be out before CD but the new PJ album like their last few will be more of the same boring crap. Axl could learn one thing from PJ and that is put every show on CD-r that you can buy after the show or online.
Seriously? Pearl Jam is one of the all time greatest bands in terms of fan appreciation and communication. Their fan club through the years, I mean it kicked fucking ass in terms of exclusive stuff, especially before you could get everything on the internet. You might not dig there last few albums, but "the same boring crap"
Have you listened to them and given them a chance man. I think they are fucking good man, and at least they aren't conforming to standards and they are just playing the music that comes out of them. Knocking that is pretty chilidish man.
I'm the biggest Axl defender in the world, but I'm not gonna diss Jeff and his band just cuz' he made a joke that's actually funny.

I had one throw away line and you want to dwell on that. I also said I guess Jeff is waiting for CD just like us and that it would be funny if CD came out before the new PJ album, but why do ?you have to bitch about me saying that PJs last few albums were not that good. PJ has a new album and are coming out , why is it wrong to hope the new P J album will be better when it will prob be the same old boring crap as their last few albums? Damn. The only people taking it personal are the ones who are crying that I said PJs last few albums sucked. PJ should sing less about GW Bush and write songs about something else. I hate Bush too but I would be pissed if Axl wrote a few songs on CD bashing him.

there is a pretty big difference between "I hope the next album is better" and "their last albums were just boring crap"
The first statement is not what I perceived your post as. The latter was.
And since when are we allowed "throw away lines" in our posts? I'd like to throw away that one from 1999 on my first account about saying i'm positive the record is coming out in 2000.

Get a grip son. You did not once mention that you hope the new PJ album will be better. I am not even a PJ fan but I respect the hell out of them and I appreciate the fact that Ament apparently has a sense of humor. Did you at least smile when you read what Ament said? I sure hope you did.

My point is, I said PJs last few albums were crap, and i also said they are great live and put out all their live shows on cd-r and I hope axl does soemthing like that. ?The point is, I said i didnt like PJs last few albums then praise everything else they do, and people want to dwell on the fact that i didnt like their last few albums. Go figure. There is a lot axl can learn from PJ but the quality of their last few albums is not one of them.
And War, yes I did thus that is why? I made the joke, wouldnt it be funny if CD came out first.
The ironic thing is, people claim I am getting all worked up over this Jeff comment when the fact is more people are getting worked up about my Pearl Jam comment. Go figure

that's because pj isn't a mainstream band like years ago... They don't even do videos..
I seriously doubt you listened to all the albums you always say aren't as good as you claim.. When do you talk to all these pearl jam fans and survey their likes n dislikes about their recent music>??
you say pj fan's feel their newer albums have been weak, some could say the same with axl's songs, but of course you would never see that

You can claim what ever you want, I have over 30 pearl jam cds from bad radio stuff to imports to a bunch of the bootleg cds they released, plus i have seen them live 5 times. Old pearl jam is great but ther newer stuff is just not that good.? You ask what pearl jam fans say the songs are weak, do you ever visit any music forums? A lot of people think Pearl Jams newer stuff is not as strong as their older stuff. As for Axl most people have not heard the new songs thus how you can even make the claim most people think axls songs are weaker. IF? you just go by the boards most think they good save silkworms.
Edited since teh usual suspects like to talk things out of context.

The new Pearl Jam record has been long delayed and now might be released early next year, when asked to confirm, Jeff Ament had this to say. . .? " I can't say for sure.? All is know is that'll definately come out before Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy comes out."
The difference is
Chinese Democracy
is more likely to have been worth the wait...

Strange comment indeed, especially since it has been proven time and time again that most people do like Rhiad.

You really do love to take things out of context dont you? You have already looked like a fool a few times but claming no gnr fans like riyadh.? I said some gnr fans dont like riyadh which is true. You on the other hand claim that MOST gnr fans dont like it. See the difference. So next time dont take things out of context since they always get? you in trouble. I edited my post since you want to try and save face from being proven wrong with you statement in that other thread.

I think you might be onto something there Saul...
It?s only a joke to people like you. No one bitches when Trent or Maynard take forever to put out their albums for Tool and Nin.? CD is one of the most anticipated albums ever.
Did you know that NIN released 3 albums (one of them is double), 1 mini album, 3 remix albums and a lot of other stuff since GN'R put out the UYIs? And they'd been touring for years? And had some time to update NIN fans? So maybe it's not the same long process for Trent, not to mention Tool, who also put out a little bit more than Axl in the last decade.

Yeah, its a sign of the apocalypse!
Dave started a bash Finck thread? I wonder why? He was probably in love with Finck a few days before bashing him.
