Pearl Jam fans are fairly hardcore aren't they? I have Ten and Vitalogy but thats it. Haven't listened to them in ages and never considered Pearl Jam to be "up there".

What am I missing here? Any songs that I should be listening to. Not Alive, Jeremy or Even Flow or anything, I mean under appreciated album tracks, B Sides, rarities etc that you would recommend?

Cheers :)

eddie vedder must be one of the most chilled out guys in rock now. he released a bloody ukulele album for christ sake.

anyone who thinks they're too heavy for glastonbury is either uneducated, or a bellend.

the bellends are those who think that possible deaths are an irrelevance to the choice of bookings.

Only when you're ready to take on that possible consequence yourself are you in the position to criticise others who actually take on that possible consequence but avoid the bookings with the biggest risk.

Arguably a quite short tour this year, had been amazing to see them at Glastonbury, will see them this summar as well but as mentioned they're outstanding live.

3 Years old tho, but

When I was at the VIP barbecue at Reading Festival in 2008, Melvin Benn told me that Glastonbury's bookers had been trying to get them to play, but that they had declined. I think they have been persuaded by a combination of curiosity and U2.

Maybe as other stage headline?

But no doubt they could head pyramid if they got the chance; most popular band from U.S last decades, great live, no scandals, solid values, humble, not greedy and so on.

No chance they'd be anything less than headliners. ME wouldn't risk having them on a smaller stage, they're probably one of the bands he's most scared of playing after Roskilde and he openly said that's one of the reasons very little heavy music has been booked. The Other doesn't even have a surge barrier.

Meh that incident was just several unfortunate events rather than their music imo (or who it attract), They repeatedly told the mass to relax and when Vedder realised what happened he went into tears. I really hope Eavis won't hold that against them.

This is borderline idiotic, roskilde had nothing to do with pearl jam , just poor festival security and barriers. Pearl jam just happened to be the band playing at the time.

Radiohead as much as I like them must never be booked again then? Their lighting rig is lethal.

Eavis likes the $ too much so the pyramid will be dominated by tragic has beens like u2 and current pop cash ins. The good stuff at glasto is elsewhere.

Oh and remember the love parade where people died recently.... Some of those acts have been at Glastonbury since.....

and you say I'm borderline idiotic, by you taking a single quote of mine out if its context, and then replying with irrelevances? :lol:

What I think doesn't matter. What Eavis thinks does, because he's the guy who is taking on the risks. And he's said how he sees it.

When you're man enough to take on those risks yourself, you're in the position to criticise those who won't.
