  1. If I had to state my favourite, non-U2 drummer of all time, it would probably be Matt Cameron. I was/am a big Soundgarden fan, too.

    Didn't they release "Reviewmirror" to get out of a record contract? It may have semmed like a "sell out" to fans but I've always thought that it's one of the most comprehensive Greatest Hits albums out there.
  2. Matt is one of the best drummers all around for sure. maybe he fits better in Soundgarden but also with PJ he's great, live is extraordinary with old songs too.
    for the studio part my favourite PJ drummer is Dave Abbruzzese but it depends mostly on the records he got involved maybe.

    yes you're right rearviewmirror is a sort of debt they had with the old label and it gives a significative overview of their works till 2003; i like the separation between the up and down side.
    it's a very good start for the ones who don't know them
  3. Before I start (re)listening to PJ's 2000's albums, I feel I have to revisit the second-half of No Code. That album is certainly the weakest of the five albums they released in the '90s but I think it deserves another listen. I like really like four of the first six tracks (Smile's okay, Who You Are was a bold, but in the end, poor choice as a first single - should've been In My Tree) but lost interest in the songs after that...I can't believe that albums is 15 years old!
  4. Report on No Code's second half: Still don't love it. Lukin is pretty intense...Habit is a good rocker...Mankind is solid...

    Working on 1990's b-sides right now (not Yellow Ledbetter - know that one very well). Dead Man is great. Was that from the movie Dead Man Walking with Sean Penn? I really like Long Orad - I actually own the Merkin Ball EP. U is a bit lyrically cheesey but good musically. Drity Frank am not so sure about.
  5. From Mike McCready's tumblr:

    ''Busy Week

    Getting ready for next PJ record. Songwriting going well. Just ran 8 miles today then had a fundraiser at the Crocodile. I played with Chris Friel Orchestra and we had a Karaoke band that people paid (for CCFA Run in Napa Valley) had about 14 guest singers rocking with us today. Made 2,500 for the cause. Thank you to all who came out on this Sunny Saturday. Mike''

    oh yeah
  6. Dead man had to be in that soundtrack but in the end it was not added, for a Springsteen song i think.
    Instead Eddie has a couple of songs there perfomed with someone who i can't remember the name
  8. video of Eddie's “Longing to belong” is released for free on iTunes (and i don't have it )


  9. for free? really?
    edit:

    nomomomom
  10. thanx Ale .. you avoided me searching youtube by myself

    very suggestive video .. and Eddie's voice then ...
  11. I've been listening to No Code all week - trying to give it another chance after over a decade on the shelf (aside from a few of its hits)....it's a really good album.

    I recently recommended anyone looking to get into PJ start with their 2-CD Greatest Hits collection,"Rearviewmirror." On second thought, I think you'd be doing yourself a favour by gettng all five studio albums from the 1990's and any additional songs (b-sides, soundtrack tunes, ep tracks) from that decade, as well.

    Great, great, great rock music.
  12. giving them a depth attention there are always very nice "surprises"

    meanwhile on 10c presale of Ukulele songs and Water on the road dvd
