There's one on the Pit now where somebody wants them to play "Forever Young" for their son who died.....in 2007. Because he'll be forever young in their hearts and he was their pearl jam buddy and they played that song when they were there in 2006. I dunno, it just seems weird to me to tell a heartbreaking story of your sons deaths eleven years later to get a band to play a song https://community.pearljam.com/discussi ... assed-away

It’s disgusting. That’s what it is. Or pathetic. Take your pick.

The worst part to me is he calls the thread "My Pearl Jam buddy, my son, passed away"

Its only when you open it he reveals that

A. Its a song request, and
B. The son passed away in 2007

Turns out it was just someone who thought the Mariners were in town.

From Reddit:

I walked past you with my baby at about 10 pm. You were sobbing your eyes out on your knees on the sidewalk on the south side of Safeco field. I don’t know why you weren’t at the show, you were obviously supposed to be there. the look on your face was truly heartbreaking and you obviously needed help.

But all I said to you was “holy shit man. Wish I could help you.” I was too concerned about the needs of my cranky infant, and I felt terrible about it then, and even more now.

Whatever happened to hurt you like that, I hope you’re okay now. I’m sorry I didn’t stop to find out and do what I could for you. It’s been nearly a month and the incident still haunts me.

You deserved better from me as a human being, and I’m sorry for adding to your pain.

...Play No Way!

Is that a real song request?

"Army Reserve at Fenway N1 (For the Troops)"

These sorts of things will continue (and continue to be more numerous) the more they respond to them.

Not the sort of request we usually see, but fun nonetheless: http://community.pearljam.com/discussio ... n-1#latest

This pandering and how they have become so incredibly self aware (evil goat and out of my mind really?) has gone way further than I thought it would/could. These guys need to forget their existence and history, just get in a fucking room and jam.

Play Leash you pussies!

This will all stop after tonight I guess. What’s hard is that over the years Vedder mentions “getting a letter” or otherwise learns of some real life situation he calls attention to on stage that is an authentic human moment, and people seize upon that with these outlandish requests that ultimately cheapen those real moments on the stage. Let’s hope this ends soon enough.

Yea, this was fine around the pj20 years but i thought they would have moved past it by now. Im fine celebrating their history but if they dont put their foot on the pedal soon here.......

I'd argue that it goes further back to the Ten Remaster/Remix project.

Time to head for the ditch...

they did, it wasn't worth it

[Simple Torture]

I almost started a new thread about Pit song requests but then remembered we have this one. Could the mods re-title it "'My dog died; play Leash!' The Pit Request Thread"? It's what KD would've wanted.

[Simple Torture]

Nothing really interesting at the Pit yet.

Hey, PJ, Cover The Tragically Hip at an upcoming Canadian Date!

This one could get some legs, but while we're talking dead Canadians, I would bet money Ed mentions Rush at the Toronto show and that he even maybe claims they were thinking about them when recording the new album.

Play Undone in San Diego!!

STATE OF LOVE AND TRUST in KRAKOW 2020

Drop the Leash in St. Louis

All Those Yesterday’s for Hyde Park London 2020

Come on, do better for our amusement, Pit people. although bonus points for unnecessary apostrophe in the song title in the last one.

[DissidentRival4]

I hope they play Teenage Wasteland!!!
