Pearl Jam Rollcall

Set looked great last night.  I took an extra ticket for tonight's camden show, but I think last night was the show to be at.  But I guess we will see, right?

there is a part of me that wants to go out and buy a bush mask so that vedder can "impale" it on a microphone stand and retire bushleaguer in dc..

word over at the PJ message board is that someone arrived at 8:30 and posters were still available... they also give you a wristband so you get the poster after the show is over on your way out...

If this is not shitting all over someone's experience and laughing at them for what they like, I don't know what is. Alot of people think it's cool to get a pick or a drumstick or some other souvenier from a show from one of your favorite bands. It doesn't mean that you have to put it on an altar and worship it. I really like to go through an old box that I have that has a few of these items now and then.. brings back great memories for me.

 "This is just laughable to me. Why would anyone want to hear either is beyond me. The latter being worse does not make it any better. Nothin personal Serpent Boy, I'm sure your a fine young man but some of those statememts intrigue me to say the least."

 "Agreed, saying Kings of Leon were the best opener ever is laughable, TO ME."

 "I never said you had to worship them, I was asking. Thanks for answering, they end up in an old shoebox. I've seen fingers broken and other tragedy's due to the overzealousness of some fans trying to get a pick or whatever before someone else. Seems silly TO ME. I could get out said shoebox and do the same reminiscing with ticket stubs w/out resorting to diving over and possibly injuring someone for a souvenir."

Anyone got a shot of said poster?

Well now this, I COMPLETELY agree with.. As a matter of fact, I said to my g/f when Eddie was throwing the tambourines.. "if one of those comes our way, I'm getting out of the way" ..silly to me how people fight over that stuff and I see that all the time.. However, in my case the other night, the sticks were thrown directly in my direction, and I happened to catch one.. didn't dive or knock anyone out of the way, etc...  but that's not what your initial quote was talking about.. (diving/pushing for sticks/picks, etc.)  You said:
 
 "I don't get the allure of this. Do you put them on an altar in worship? Sell them on ebay? Are you still in your teens? They're just veteran musicians not "enter savior of choice."
 
 Which is busting on someone for having/collecting them... and you say "I was just asking"  ..so why didn't you ask if he put them in a box or collected them? ..instead of asking snarky questions like "Are you still in your teens?" ..because the dude is glad he got a stick or a wristband... which imo is shitting on him for being excited about having a souvenier... there's a difference.  
 
 When you go to the RnR HoF in Cleveland.. there's memorabilia everywhere... so having a pick or a drumstick as a piece of history/memorabilia/souvenier = cool  
 
 ...diving/pushing/fighting for such memorabilia = not cool.

That's because I don't get the allure to this. Those "snarky" comments were possible explanations I could think of at the moment. Didn't think of the "putting them in a box" scenario. Seems like that would defeat the whole purpose. To each his own. I'm glad you got a stick and didn't fight over it. You are the exception to the rule. If people want memorabilia,  just purchase it from the band, not participate in a scrum. The band would appreciate it as well. Wouldn't me asking him if he keeps them all in a box be "snarky" also?
 
 Edit: Strike that question. I promised to try to refrain from going further down this road.

Sparx,
 
 I won't take offense to your questions even if you came across as a dick.
 
 I didn't fight or push for either the wristband or drumstick. I was front row for the Pearl Jam show thanks to the Ten Club lottery, and it was about 30 rows closer than I'd ever been before (in 7 previous shows). Jeff threw the wristband right to me, and I found it to be very cool since they've been my favorite band since the early 90's. I'll probably store it with my 15 framed Pearl Jam posters and wear it to Pearl Jam shows as dorky as it may seem. It may have been cooler 10 years ago when I was 16, but it still means something to me.
 
 I caught the Iron Maiden drumstick out of luck. I'm taller than many in the crowd, and he threw it right at me. Again, I'll probably just put it in a box and show it to my dad the next time I see him. He raised me on Iron Maiden (one of my all-time favorites as well), so it has a special meaning.
 
 I can't blame you for disputing the Kings of Leon comment. Obviously the Buzzcocks, Sleater-Kinney, My Morning Jacket, and Death Cab for Cutie are more well established, and I'm a big fan of S-K and MMJ. I just found the Kings of Leon performance to be better than the others. They rock.
