The Worst Pearl Jam Fans You Know

[Johnny Turner]

Hey, I'm Brazilian and Pearl Jam fan.
What am I doing wrong?

You personally?

Nah. I mean as a Brazilian Fan. Whats wrong with us? Just couldnt figure It with the messages above.

The "issues" that I have with fans from here are the same described in the original post. So Im just trying to understand what make us different in your "outside" point of view.

Oh that - I can't answer!
But I know people around here have been having issues with your attitude

[Norah]

Yeah Johnny, you've got a real attitude problem.

I'm a brazilian fan as well and I'm kinda embarassed of our fanbase.

[Higgs]

Yeah Johnny, you've got a real attitude problem.

Yeah. I'm totally sick of your shit.

Sort it out, bucko.

[Jorge]

I think the issues with the Brazilian fanbase are the same things that make Pearl Jam superfans annoying as a whole, just amplified by the Brazilian... enthusiasm

[wease]

Yeah Johnny, you've got a real attitude problem.

Yeah. I'm totally sick of your shit.

Sort it out, bucko.

Fucking Johnny.

[bada]

This Johnny character is an affront to mankind.

I spent about a week in Seattle for the shows. All around town, all week long dorks were out in full force wearing PJ gear. I saw a lot of people busting out their best gears too PJ backpacks, socks, vintage shirts from 1993.... all of it. Usually more than one item PJ hat and shirt at once. My favorites were people who bought merch early in the week, before the shows, and were walking around in their new merch. When two would come across each other:

1- “hey, PJ shirt huh? Are you going to the shows?”
2- “yeah, can’t wait”
1- “ one or both shows?”
2- “both!!!!”
1- “ yeah me too, are you GA?”
2- “ yeah!!!”
1- “me too.... well, have a great show”

Repeat 1000 times. I don’t get it, and quite frankly embarrassed to be in a city with so much culture and so much to do than to spend my entire days talking about PJ and standing out as a tourist. Then I see the Pit has a T-shirt planning thread for Chicago:

Not to mention all the people that need to wear PJ shirts and gear to the concert.

Fuck my brain to death

This inspired me to browse the front page of the pit for a while. I wasn't disappointed. What a bunch of fucking dorks.

Well if we’re talking about real Fucking dickheads,
Every single guy in the merch queue in Berlin was the very worst kind of muscle jock loud mouth dude bro, queuing up for hours for merch is your thing that’s absolutely fine that’s your Buzz. But the loudmouth borderline aggression if you even tried to pass through their queue to get elsewhere when you aren’t even queuing and they’d assume your trying to cut in was just disgusting.
Yeah they were all American and the kinda people I had assumed pj had shed years and years ago. But talk about off putting.

I have no evidence but that queue was hundreds and hundreds of people long and pretty certain they were all American.

It was a higher concentration of these fucknuts than I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen Pj all around the US about 16 times.

[verb_to_trust]

Why would you assume Pearl Jam shed obsessive losers who get territorial over merch years ago? Fucking Americans though amirite?

[shakescky]

Their complaint changes when they are trying to assist fellow 'Collectors From the Pit' via cutting in the merchandise queue.

[dimejinky99]

The merch queue people have eclipsed the rail slut / queue up two days before the show / number system assholes for sheer cuntishness, by far. And that’s really saying something.

I got in the GA line around 45 minutes before the gate opened and was 4th row on Stone's side. Probably would have been 8-10th row if I went in an hour later. Not worth it to line up all day IMO.

Do you guys get good GA positions because everyone else is in that merch line you're all on and on about?

As soon as these two factions start colluding and teaming up, you get me a poster I’ll save you a spot, we’re all Fucking done for.
