The mystery of who’s going to be playing guitar has lost all luster for me ( there wasn’t much to begin with…) Would just like some clarity please And a fall US tour. If it has to be a package so be it I guess… They are clearly advertising Dave as being in the band and part of these shows. I’m sure...
I’m not sure how you plan a tour around one night in Alabama and the next night in St. Louis. We’ll see what the plan is. Maybe like Europe. Fests with a few extra shows built around them.
I don't like Dave A's drumming. Once I noticed how much he was just banging the crash and cymbals... it was hard to unhear. I can't listen to Vs and Vitalogy anymore. He drums like Alex Van Halen, who I also do not like. It's less rhythmic and just alot of tsss tsss tsss tsss tsss tsss tsss tss Dav...
I haven't been into pearl jam since their second or third album..but I was youtubing and caught some old clips from shows I saw them in the early years...I miss their first drummer...don't even remember his name..remember he had a condition that made touring hard and thats why he left ..but he adde...
Someone needs to make an alternative to this fucking sham institution. Get some real artists involved to curate it and make a joke out of the current rock hall.
What a fucking joke. There is no 90s alternative movement without Janes Addiction and Perry Farrell. Period. You can make an argument that the Pixies and Sonic Youth were equally integral, but of course they’re not in either. Those three bands were the inspiration for every important band that came ...
This isn’t good. There are a few songs that make you go “oh these are ok.” So 4/10? Here’s the problem with modern Pearl Jam. They have no identity whatsoever, and that’s mostly Eddie’s fault. He’s bland and boring so they’re bland and boring. They should be called Eddie and the Pearl Jams. They hav...
The album is perfect and I will listen to it over NS probably 99 times out of 100. I’d agree except Ocean Size, Up the Beach and Summertime Rolls too anything on GGU. By order of magnitude. But, most of GGU stood the rest of NS. Those three songs are so incredible though, and SO important, that the...
That was the album that made me realize I’d gone from the biggest Pearl Jam fan I knew to possibly not one at all. And yet, I still love their first 5.
If it weren’t for what I assume are the recently written lyrics to open the track, I’d tend to agree. It sounds like a very natural progression from GGU. Awesome to hear P4P stretch out a bit on a song. It makes me realize how absent that was from their output. That first album was all frenetic ener...
Pete was on the Nothing Shocking Podcast. Sounds like they will do more shows and hit places in the US they didn’t go to this last go round (including South America). He also mentioned he has around 10 additional porno songs ready to go- unclear if the band has worked on them yet. Also a lot of gre...
Looks like they’re spending a good amount of time in Europe this summer before what is a likely Fall tour in the US. I’d guess September in to October with them playing Evolution Fest in St. Louis on 9/28.
I saw Nation of Language again last night, opening for Beach Fossils. Their live show has continued to evolve and I find them to be a powerhouse show now that they’ve added lighting, fog and more vocal effects to the presentation. They tour incessantly and it’s obvious how well they’ve honed their a...
I definitely think they will do a tour to support it but it’ll be short like faith no more’s tour in 2015 when they put out their record LA Las Vegas Phoenix Austin New Orleans Atlanta NYC Lollapalooza Chicago Lollapalooza France Lollapalooza Germany Lollapalooza Brazil Lollapalooza Ethiopia Lollap...
I feel like with Jane’s, this next year or two marks the last chance for the band to do it right. Sure, the band in some half baked form could always exist and continue to crank out the same old setlist on tour with whoever on bass and/or guitar, but I want more. It absolutely is the last chance. A...
Agree with those saying it's the best in decades. I'm diggin the calming rhythmic surf vibe of the first half. PF is well within his range, which usually a gift per se, but here his voice really contributes to the tonal foils going on. Love the piano and synth/strings add heroic depth and texture w...
I like that it’s unusual and unexpected. Musically it evokes Orgasm and GGU (the song). Perry’s opening lyrics and vocals… :essence: This is one of the reasons I don’t hold out much hope for any new Jane’s material. Perry can’t be trusted anymore. I don’t love the beginning either, but I think that...
Interesting song. Great playing by Martyn. I feel like I get flashes of Ritual side B and GGU at times. Do Perry’s vocals sound really loud in the mix to anyone else? Agreed. It’s an incredible piece of music, hurt badly by the lyrics and vocals on the verses. I wish to god someone had convinced Pe...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ikryAEJpbsE&pp=ygUbUG9ybm8gZm9yIHB5cm9zIGZpbmdlcm5haWwg Never seen this one before. Great performance. Between the S/T and GGU. Does anyone know if this was Martyn’s last show before he quit the first time? I often forget just how fucking punk both early Janes and earl...
