arnold layne Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think it's time to admit Randy really had a point and make it permanent. I swear I thought Eddie was a bit chubby when I saw him last month in Australia. The flow of logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damn_Smooth Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm glad it's gone. 1 day was fine, but that band sucks serious ass. There's no wonder about why it doesn't have a forum like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magisme Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think Bastion of Frustration should be the name of DJ's next solo spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estranged Reality Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Was genuinely surprised at how well most people took it, we actually ended up with a handful of worthwhile PJ threads amongst some of the jokes and stuff.What I thought was way cool beautiful was how many people knew Pearl Jam well enough to hold conversations, whether it was a joke or not!I'm glad it's gone. 1 day was fine, but that band sucks serious ass. There's no wonder about why it doesn't have a forum like this.they DO have forums like this. they also have a dedicated fanbase that they release soundboard-quality recordings of live shows to, for every single stop of their tours. if they didn't have a big following, they wouldn't do this... only a handful of artists can manage to pull this off and make it financially feasible.i've never been a huge Pearl Jam fanboy like I was for GN'R, but they definitely have a big fanbase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know that the people that want to turn this into a PJ forum have someplace to go. I was almost worried that they might be homeless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Pearl Jam is a real band, unlike Axl's band. I liked that everyone played along and several threads were created and discussion was active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Eddie didn't want all the focus and attention on him, I think the fact that he didn't feel it was "HIS" band played a big part in that. After "Ten" took off, when the video for "Daughter" was just the band photo, it was letting the world know they're not going to play the fame game. I think "Jeremy" was a great video and he has a great sinister look in it, but he didn't want to make a career off of that and try to make epic videos. The music should be enough, what people take from those songs should be enough, and what they made from touring should be able to pay the bills. He knew McCready, Gossard and Ament were damn good and he'd never find guys like that anywhere else. If they had been on Interscope, there's NO WAY they would have had the support when they put "Vitalogy" out. He's still the goofy little surfer guy from Encinitas who has the same friends before he moved to Seattle, and how another Fairfax High alum ties into piecing that band together.

GUNNER PT Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 WTF????IT WAS A JOKE?Refund, pls -.- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I think it was a fantastic job by all involved! Great idea and obviously a lot of time and effort put into it.My only suggestion for future years is to keep the joke going for at least 36 hours so that more people can see and enjoy it. For example the conversion back to GNR happened with approx 5-8 hours of April Fools Day remaining in North America, I barely had a chance to have some fun with it after getting home from work. Maybe next time start it April 1st around 2PM AEDT? Well, we wanted to make sure the board was back to normal in time for the show that night.It would have started to annoy people too... the whole day and some people would be rioting! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdHeartBreaker Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just a shame you guys couldn't take a joke yourselves All of my leak threads got deleted and I was threatened with suspension?

Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 All of my leak threadsWell, there's your problem.I think had you just posted one thread it wouldn't have been all that bad. But you killed it man--you at least had me and others laughing after the Silkworms thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nulla Lex Ink. Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I don't mean to nitpick or anything, but "Nice Boys Don't Play Rock N' Roll" still lists Pearl Jam instead of Guns N' Roses under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
