Pearl Jam

Clearly anyone who joins a major label is a sell out.

So if you even like a band thats on a major label, you're a sellout and you have bad taste in music.
 
Thats not what hes talking about, though I don't think its Cobains fault he sold out. He didn't ask for it, stupid Kennedy shot him.

I'm sure Kurt loved the artistic control and small fanbase with life, blame Kennedy people cmon!
 
I like your opinion i'm also not trying to change your mind but telling you something from my view. And no I like the head-phone icon:hphones: :hphones:
 
got to be one of the top 5 most over rated banRAB ever. not that they ain't cool, just not all that.


the ticket master boycott was soo lame it probably gave people like lars a total woody. let's not leave out the vetter quote where he claimed that he had was a genius and would only work with those who were equal to him. :rofl: this would have been a good spot for a puking smiley
 
Cmon now man I wouldnt rate Pearl Jam higher or equal to Metallica.




Yeah I agree they have always been true to theirselves and all that sh*t. Never really sold out, I think they changed their sound on the 'Vitalogy' album purposely to evade selling out after two big albums.
800 posts? Whoa, only 200 more and your in with the big boys.


I wouldnt say they were overrated as I have never heard a bad album from them yet (I have them all). Fair enough if you dont like them though.



Nah I like Metallica, first metal band I ever got into. I think this is much the same scenario with people hating on Metallica. Fair enough, they sold out but they still made great music. Anyone who tells me 'Fuel' isnt a cracking song neeRAB a hearing aid.



I never read about this. I read about the ticketmaster thing & I respect them for it. They were sticking up for their fans.
 
never really got into pearl jam, i guess by the time they were making it big i was all tired out with that "seatle scene".
Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana,Mudhoney, Melvins..

But i guess ill get around to checking out Eddie one of these days.

I heard "world wide suicide" or something like that, and thought it was stupid, but ill give them a fair chance
 
Their last album. Self-titled/Untitled/the Avocado Album/Avocado, etc. whatever you refer to it by or consider it, was decidedly harder rock than their last couple of outings. I think it works very well, though I wasn't a fan of the much more static-y electric guitar work on tracks such as World Wide Suicide and to a lesser extent, Life Wasted.

My favorite tracks were "Gone" and "Come Back". I really hope their new album is more along the lines of those two tracks (though I LOVE Life Wasted. WWS never really grew on me like the rest of the album)

Anyway, what are other PJ fans' hopes for their new set?
 
It's hard for me to get into the new Pearl Jam because 10 was one of the greatest Hard Rock albums ever recorded. It matched artistic success with commercial success. The whole thing plays like a greatest hits package. VS was a decent follow-up, but it was a very rapid decline for Pearl Jam after that. They just completely lost it and now it seems there only in it for the money.

Party Guy
 
Pearl Jam is miles ahead of Metallica in every aspect of a band. I can't think of one reason to respect Metallica more than PJ in any fashion.

200 more posts baby. I'm counting down.
 
Who cares what they're in it for. For one, that's impossible for anybody to really know except for themselves.

What counts is whether or not their music is any good. Not whether it's a groundbreaking artistic statement (just how many of them are there anyway?).

It is true that since Vitology Pearl Jam haven't been really up to scratch, but this new record in particular is by any fair standarRAB a decent hard rock record.

Also, any SERIOUSLY high quality album should play like a greatest hits record.
