Well, we know for sure that Kid Rock fans can't afford tickets, not on those Walmart salaries

Wow…20 years later, now its a problem?…where were all these bands when PJ was touring without ticketmaster on fucked up venues?

Kid Rock must have on hell of a production on his albums to get a props from you. You hear the drums right? :lol:

You really are cherry picking to fit your narrative…read the whole Billie interview before creating fake news and creating false assumptions.

Ha. As I predicted, the final of the three songs used for March Madness is…..


The already released Dark Matter.

Can’t make it up. How boring and unoriginal. Btw all of the three songs seemed heavily chopped.
I think the end of that isn't DM . It's nothing I've heard confused it's Jeff on bass though
I had the same thought…that is not from DM…
Based on song descriptions I think it’s the end of Waiting for Stevie. (90 second solo into outro)
:haha:

Guys, it’s the CBS jingle.

I can’t stop laughing :haha:

Angry by the Rolling Stones just came up on spotify shuffle and you can instantly tell it’s made by the same guy that produced Dark Matter. Have Eddie sing over it and you could have fooled me it might be on Dark Matter

Has Pearl Jam praised Ticketmaster recently? Have Billie Eilish and Kid Rock decided not to tour or use alternate venues to avoid Ticketmaster? Has Pearl Jam recently declined to support any practices designed to weaken that Monopoly? Has anyone even asked Pearl Jam that question?


It looked like Billie eilish’s tickets from her last tour ranged from 90-900 according to her website. Not sure how many were sold at each range. She also sold VIP packages up to 3350 which include floor seats, a lanyard, and a gift.

https://billieeilishtickets.us/vip/

This was 2022, her last tour I think.


Kid rock has been complaining about costs for over a decade. Not sure what actions he has taken. He might still be wrapping his mind around it.

His Ticketmaster prices on the one show I saw on TM ranged from 60-372 for a show in two weeks so if he is using dynamic pricing there seems to be less demand for his tickets.

It’s easy to complain about things in interviews. Still better to call out the behaviors than not, so good on them. Harder to act or move beyond posturing.

I was thinking we should start a database of every public comment made in an interview by an musician in an interview related to any social, political, or economic cause Pearl Jam has ever commented on and cross reference it against the last time Pearl Jam referenced it in any of their voluminous interviews. This will help us establish a more statistically sound measure of their hypocrisy.

Olivia Rodrigo is giving out birth control at her concerts while Pearl Jam is playing show in both Indiana AND Montana this year. Remember when Eddie wrote pro-choice on his arm? You hate to see it!

Billie Eilish was also recently complaining about the trend of releasing 10+ vinyl variants to manipulate the charts...despite her doing the exact same thing for her last album.
