I don't care for Mike's playing but he does have good taste in gear.

Re: Pearl Jam - Twenty
Yeah, I was kinda hoping we'd get their perpectives on things (like with Foo Fighters' Back & Forth) - especially as Jack Irons was often credit as being the guy who saved the band from breaking up. I would have been very interested to see what Dave Abbruzzese had to say as well. They merely glossed over the whole regularly changing drummer thing.stuu wrote:very disappointed at the lack of explaination RE drummers.

I'm a big PJ fan so I guess that may have contributed to my boredom. Aside from the archive footage and the interviews with Chris Cornell and a few others, it was nothing that wasn't already public knowledge.

Re: Pearl Jam - Twenty
I don’t listen to a lot of rock music but I’m quite enjoying listening properly to Pearl Jam
I was guilty of overlooking them. There’s a combination of cool things going on in many tracks. “Yield” and “Binaural “ are the 2 albums I’m quite taken with
Good bass lines
Creative use of time signature changes
Good guitar tones
Interesting lyrics
“There’s nothing like your baritone “

Re: Pearl Jam - Twenty
I was a huge fan of them in the 90s, "Jeremy spoke in... classssssss todayyyyy...", yield is a masterpiece, but listening again recently and Eddie's vocals are a bit off putting... weird.foal30 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 6:23 pm I don’t listen to a lot of rock music but I’m quite enjoying listening properly to Pearl Jam

Re: Pearl Jam - Twenty
Good choices. They do require a bit of intellectualising, but agree with your summary. I dig Matt Cameron's writing - The Fixer is largely his. Great "pop" song but with that weird timing, so good.foal30 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 29, 2023 6:23 pm I don’t listen to a lot of rock music but I’m quite enjoying listening properly to Pearl Jam

Re: Pearl Jam - Twenty
Been listening to Backspacer a bit lately. Just Breathe was in the Clerks 3 soundtrack, so that had me putting it on, and then reminded how many great tracks are on that album. The Fixer is a stand out, but its in good company there.
Putting a Pearl Jam CD on has become my happy place in recent years.
