A Couple of PJ Fans Complain about MMJ

[osoZ]

Well the biggest problem is that you were on the message pit.  I am a hardcore PJ fan and I don't even go on the message pit.  It is filled with newer fans.  There are some great people there that can tolerate it, but I prefer Red Mosquito and BRY.  The message pit is where you go if you want to post in topics such as "post pictures where Ed looks hot" etc.

As for MMJ, some people just don't like them.  I have recommended them to a few people.  It is very hit or miss, moreso than other bands I have recommended to my friends.

This is a joke of a thread.. im a diehard PJ fan so ive heard over the years all about the opening bands.. MMJ has received the most praise of any band and they have had tons of opening acts

i thought MMJ was decent before i saw them 3 times opening for PJ.. but after i saw them i was blown away and have been digging their music ever since

PJ has done a lot for MMJ.. i know a whole lot of people who have become fans of MMJ as a result

And for the people bashing the pit....

whenever you have a msg board like the PIT and considering how much traffic it receives you are going to get a lot of off the wall posts..

i post on all of the boards but if you want to be with the people who think they are hollier than thou head over to RM but good luck getting people to lilke you there

also RM has 25 mods so they are pretty harsh over there..

I chuckled over this post...

"They sound like a kind of Country and Western Sigur Ros..."

Same name.  I have about 300 posts in however many years I have been there.  99% of those are in the trading forum.

Yes, I think that MMJ by far has been one of the best recieved opening acts that PJ has had.  And I think that MMJ has gained a lot of new fans from this.

I don't get the 'hollier than thou' comment though  ???

I was one of the Pearl Jam fans who became a lover of MMJ becuase of leg #1 of the tour.  (BTW, Fuck most of those opinionated idiots on the Pearl Jam message pit; it's a constant pissing match to hear whose opinion is the loudest...all the fans that I've met are cool and not accurately represented in that forum).  

 In fact, when I went to San Fransisco for leg #2, I was devestated that Sonic Youth was playing and not MMJ.

Now, I get to see a FULL SHOW of MMJ in my neighborhood....9:30 club in DC.  Wicked awesome.

I'll just add that while my circle of friends are by no means an accurate cross-section of music fans, I have many friends to whom I've introduced MMJ and they are almost unanimously converted to rabid fans.
