When did Pearl Jam become zombie Pearl Jam?
Do The Evolution was the last song I heard from them I thought was cool
>>131336667When they got their collective ass pounded by Ticketmaster, realised that Vedder is fucking fraud with his "I want to just play clubs" pose and finally became a band they always wanted to be.
>>131336667more like avocado jam, amirite?
>>131336667The song Last Kiss described the original Pearl Jam dying in a car crash and after that they were zombie
>>131336667They had 1-2 decent pop-rock songs on most/all of their albums through the 2000s. If they had a best album then maybe that album had three or four good pop-rock songs. I don’t think they were ever anything beyond that but they happen to catch a zeitgeist early in their career. No shame in that they’ve been a solid consistent band. They were just never anything incredible
>>131337014can you give me 10 bands, groups or singers that are incredible, in your opinion?
>>131336667Pearl Jam - Guac Rock
>>131336667PEARL JAM TIMELINE:- record first album- it's a hit!- touring- everything's going great!- Kurt Cobain: "They're careerist."- Vedder to band: "We must do everything we can to be small and indie and not 'commercial' cuz Kurt said thing."- Pearl Jam commences sucking
>>131337098Oh God, finally someone said it. I agree completely.
>>131337098i didn't know cobain said. what a douchebag jealous snob. remember Ten was still outselling Nevermind in Curt's lifetime so that was just sour grapes on his part
>>131337188The guitars on the first album mog the rest of their career. It's like hendrix level soloing almost.
Eddie writes anti-Trump songs now and he'll never be touched by the consequences of the politicians he supports because he's wealthy. He's fine if the hard-working people that made him rich have to deal with unsafe streets.
>>131337267Exactly, I've always loved that part of their sound.
>>131337050The Rolling StonesPrinceThe BeatlesPavement Roxy MusicDavid BowieTalk TalkVan Morrison Velvet Underground Love
>>131337242It was not just cobain, every other rock musician was throwing shit at Pearl Jam, because of the sound of Ten and because they called Eddie from LA or something like that, it came from a place of jealousy, if you ask me.
>>131337014This.Let's stop lying and admit that nobody keeps Ten on after Jeremy finishes.
>>131337323>throws Prince in there randomlyu havin a laff
>>131337347No, Prince was legitimately incredible in the 80s.
>>131337368You don't find him to be shallow and pedantic?
>>131338304There’s literally nothing wrong with being Jewish
>>131336997nice. Lost Dogs is as good an ending as any
>>131338383what about metzitzah b'peh ?
>>131337419Certainly not in his 80s peak. I think that ironically would be a decent description of Pearl Jam, however. And again, it’s not like I hate Pearl Jam.
>>131337098>>131337098"success is evil" was a common belief of all Gen X for some reason. (maybe because Gen X was the first post-Civil Rights generation and was non-stop indoctrinated with 'le white man is evil' meme).But EV, nor any other of the success adverse Gen X musicians, didn't need KC speaking his nonsense to think like that.
>>131336667They were never good to begin with
>>131339394This, absolute trash of a band that only women listened to in the 90s>EVEEEEEEEEEEEN… FLOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!!!>NOTHINGMAAAAAAAN>BLAaaaaaAACKFuck off with that shit please
>>131339462yeah, chick band. shut up zoomer.
>>131339462>>131339500My literal boomer dad called them a girl band. I did/do not agree with him but this little back and forth reminded me of that. I’m not a huge fan of theirs nor a hater, but I would bet anything their concerts were and are sausage fests.
>>131339550I mean grunge was dudes obsessing over music and authenticity. two things most normie chicks could care less about.females only got into it after their boyfriends pushed it on them enough. kinda odd in that the 60's bands they were emulating had overwhelmingly female fans when they started out.
>>131339599>could care lessyou mean couldn't.if they could care less, that means they'd have some care remaining.
>>131339637you are correct, sir.and since we're here, I can amend my statement above. females obviously care about music, just not the history of youth music as a cultural catalyst like the grunge dudes did.
>>131336667During Binaural.Right around the time Matt Cameron infected the band.He can't play fast so everything is 110bpm or lower.
>bring a gun to a rehearsal>"you're out of the band!">run someone over while texting and kill him>"sure, you can still tour with us!"what did they mean by this?
>>131339702Matt Cameron was a far better drummer for Soundgarden and never matched that skill during his time in PJ
>>131339394>>131339462Agreed, lamest of the 90s bands STP mogged them desu, Bill Burr's savage rip on Vedder was spot-on, biggest poser out there
>>131336667That album was unironically return to form
>>131343185Cameron was the best part of Soundgarden, beast pounded HARD
>>131336667I think "Life Wasted" is a fun song
>>131336667When they let Eddie have permanent sole control of the ship. He clearly is self-obsessed and wants complete control over their entire existence which is funny cause it was a monkeys paw for the other guys who had been trying to be big for so long and the guy that made them big was the one who was gonna put them in the backseat for it.
>>131343300Chris Ott owned PJ in his Kurt Cobain video toohttps://youtu.be/w5VSufswMj0?is=uFSDm4QmSCPcGk_3
I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go offI wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived onI wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung onThe Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top
>>131336997isn't Last Kiss a cover song anyway
>>131336667Pearl Jam having a few hard rockin' tunes on their first handful of albums was great, but hearing them try their hand at a full album of hard rockin' tunes just doesn't work.
>>131340561i'd argue Dave A. was even their best drummer with Dave Krusen second then Jack Irons.
>>131343185>>131339702>>131343320He quit PJ after their last tour didn't he
>>131345853i think he's full of arthritis now
>>131336667man.......we should put like a......avocado or some shit on the record cover*hits doobie*fuck man that would be AMAZING
Pearl Jam was never good.
>>131339205>Certainly not in his 80s peakwhy
>>131347082Because his music was deep and substantive
>>131347254not anymore
>>131343993This.Imagine Jeff and Stone finally hiting the jackpot just to be tied into this forever dour pose by some midget San Jose implant killjoy.
>>131336951They literally named their band "cum"That's what "Pearl Jam" means
>>131343993Not only that, he was too much of a pussy to fire the drummer he made Stone do it.
>>131336667they were still rocking out fine when touring that albumyou always gotta see who's behind some postscause really you can say what you want but many of the people who talk shit have not even a quarter of the actual fucking experience the people they talk shit about havetrue is that world became all in all a zombie once the 2000s ended
>>131339599...yeahright...after all even the zeppelin and stones would obsess over music and authenticity
