PJ's fans are right to criticize them. Their behavior and choices are often idiotic.

The fact that people are complaining about the three videos is pathetic. No one is making you watch any of them. Please light yourselves on fire.

Not pathetic of us. Pathetic of them and you. It's lazy and pathetic to release 2 versions of pretty much the same video then create anticipation and countdowns to .. pretty much the same video. And it's pathetic and ridiculous to tell someone they should light themselves on fire because you... disagree with them? Hey, you're a goddamn trump supporter and I don't want you to light yourself on fire. Go jump off a bridge.

I get the teaser video.....but why follow up with three more full fledged videos that are all essentially the same. It's just odd. Again, glad the song rocks.

I could have my freelance video editing guys take all three and make a fourth one for them to release. No extra charge. Mach 4 coming soon!

Mach I - 1.4m (released Jan 23)
Mach II - 1.4m (released Jan 30)
Mach III - 68k and counting (released Feb 07)

The fact that the 3 videos are really just different cuts of the same video is genius.
Posting again as it was bottom paged and I can't put up with more tree/phat shite.

Just a little consideration for what their fans would want isn't too much to expect though? Honestly, is having more than 1 of these videos doing anything for any fan? Couldn't they at least throw out an outake of dotc or something?
I pledge to be 100% boring and never troll-out again. I will make my interactions here pleasant, like sitting through an agricultural economics class.

Exactly. It's insulting. The countdown and everything made it feel like something special was coming. Then a kick in the sack.

I get that they aren't the best thing, but especially with this third video, what were you bozos expecting? You knew what the first two were, did you really think it was going to be much different than those? If you did, that's silly

Insulting? You must be easily offended. I'm most certainly a bigger Pearl Jam fan than you are, and this is a non-event for me. If you've been losing your shit over the anticipation of DOTC Mach lll music video, then you only have yourself to blame for your disappointment.

Edit: Looks like a few of us had the same thought.

It's been kind of a bored-at-work roller coaster for me with Pearl jam lately. At first I didn't really care because my expectations were so low. Then I heard the song. It grew on me to the point where I was mildly excited to hear some more stuff from the album. This three-video run has tempered my expectations quite a bit. What was specifically "insulting" was the big reveal charade. There was a countdown to a countdown. What we got didn't live up to any kind of hype. Throw us a bone here if you're gonna have a countdown! I felt like how my dog must feel when I excite him with a biscuit for hours only to throw it in the trash can. :shake:

Who watches music videos anymore? The fact that anyone is upset about a music video that you'll watch once or twice is kind of weird. The last time someone outside of RM showed me a music video, it was probably Baby Shark. So I'm grateful for bees and puffy vests.
