Two questions.

1. Why are you reading Rolling Stone?

2. Why the hell is that guy on the Pearl Jam forums?

You're a fag...

1. Cause rolling stones is a music magazine and DOES contain a few good articles here and there
2. Cause Pearl Jam is an awsome band.

1. Rolling Stones Magazine is shite. Pitchfork makes Rolling Stone look great. And Pitchfork is shite.

2. Why are they awesome? Because Rolling Stone said so? They are up there with bands like SevenMary3 and Candle Box. Shite bands that should have never existed.

btw...so what if I'm a fag? Is there something wrong with that?

i think you are both fags.


and your second comment is insane. how can you compare pearl jam to seven mary three and candlebox. maybe you are young and don't know much about the "grunge" bands. or maybe your just a fag.


nevermind, i now see that you have in fact admitted to being a fag in the previous post. sorry.

Considering I am 23, and lived right in the middle of the "grunge" movement. I heard the best of this so called genre. And the worst. And Pearl Jam is at the bottom of the list. Along with SevenMary3, CandleBox and the other 14,000 "grunge" bands. Trash.

No.

If you've only heard the early singles on the radio, and have grown tired of them, you might be inclined to think so...but no.

That those bands owe a huge creative debt to the band Pearl Jam was in 1993 isn't surprising. That those bands suck badly isn't surprising either. But that doesn't mean a thing. Pearl Jam were a great band in 1993, and they are an even better band now. Actually, after seeing a lot of shows this year, I've come to the conclusion that Pearl Jam is the best live band on the planet. There's a reason that fans follow them almost at the level that people followed the Dead, except without the drugs...because Pearl Jam is consistently the best live band in the world.

And really, "grunge" was a label that never really fit Pearl Jam, because they didn't sound like anything that rolled out of the Sub Pop hype machine. "Alive" doesn't sound like Mudhoney, the Melvins, or Tad, and neither does "Daughter". Anything from Vitalogy, No Code on doesn't sound like anybody else, period. And if you ask any Pearl Jam fan what their favorite album is, chances are it will be something that came out after grunge died.

You may not dig them. I mean, I could stereotype your musical tastes without knowing you and guess that you are either a pretentious goth wannabe, a pretentious hipster, or a pretentious britpop disciple. But I'm not going to, because I don't know you, and won't judge your musical tastes just from two posts on a message board. I could give a shit if you like Pearl Jam or not. But it both amuses and annoys me that this perception of Pearl Jam exists.

Because it isn't true.

YOu obviously haven't been to many live performances then. I have seen Pearl Jam live twice. And at one Time I owned 3 albums from them. They are very overated. Compared to some of the other bands I heard in 93', they weren't that great. The only album that is half-way decent is Vitalogy. Even that has alot of weak tracks on it.

VITALOGY!? You sir, have LOST YOUR SENSES. Good Christ. He says Vitalogy but not Ten.

In a related story, Pearl Jam kick ass.

[edit] and not because the queers over at RollingStone tell me to like them. I learned to like PJ myself, and then I fell in love with them. 'Black' is possibly the most brilliant song written about lost love I have ever been privy to listen to.

the point is. if you don't like pearl jam fine. that is perfectly alright, but even a non fan would have to admit that grouping them with seven mary three just isn't right. i've seen both PJ and seven mary three and well it just isn't right. i mean all those other bands you've mentioned have fallen by the wayside and whether you like them or not pearl jam is still very alive and kicking.

So? There are TONS of bands that have released 4, 5 albums and they are horrible. The fact that they are "Still kicking" doesn't mean anything. I am sorry, they are just not that good.

i hate pearl jam... but i guess i still respect them. i mostly just don't care... but whatever.

but.. uh.. yeah, keep the pumpkins dead.

hmm, for some reason you keep thinking this is an argument about whether pearl jam is good or not by your standards


by still kicking i meant they still play in front of 20,000 fans.

they still have impact on the music community.

The impact of making crappy record after crappy record, isn't much of an impact.

I agree, the Pumpkins should reunite

Hello people lets talk about the pumpkins?

What makes them good? That they released a few decent songs? C'mon.

Hey SlowlyChoking - which 'grunge' bands from 1993 are you talking about that are better than Pearl Jam?

ten, vs, vitalogy, no code and yield are all amazing albums. i'll admit i only liked about half of binaural and about half of riot act, but still. what makes pearl jam good is the amazing chemistry between the members of the band which especially shines through on stage. i too would like to know of these other grunge bands you heard that were so much better. i mean like you said you were 13 at the time and lived right in the heart of it all

Originally posted by wounded

Exactly.

Hey SlowlyChoking (and the rest of you arguing about whether or not Pearl Jam is a respectable band) ... SHUT THE FUCK UP. If someone wanted your opinion on Pearl Jam they would ask. People are indeed allowed to have different opinions on the same subject. Just because you like or dislike something doesn't mean everyone else has to feel the same way.

Actually no, I am just trying to figure out why people like such an overated band. That is all.

HE LIKED KRIS KROSS AND THAT INFORMER SONG, ALRIGHT?!?!

but to get back on topic:


thanks for the info.

8-Way Santa, Mother Love Bone, Skin Yard, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains, just to name a few. Actually, these bands are terrible, and yet they are STILL better than Pearl Jam. And that is sad.

Actually, even though I lived during the "Grunge" era, and was sometimes forced to listen to it, I never did like it. Even the best of this era is pretty weak.

So bottom line is, Pearl Jam is overated, and just plain bad.
