  1. Avocado is hit or miss for me...it is an album that, to an extent anyway, brought me back to Pearl Jam.

    I like the albums hits (i.e., the ones they played on the talk/variety shows) like WWS, Life Wasted, and Severed Hand.

    Inside Job, Army Reserve, and Gone are, to me, "mature" songs both lyrically and musically. On some levels that's a good thing but on others it just doesn't quite resonate with me.

    Parachutes and Come Back are quite polarizing amongst the die-hards, I believe. If I'm in the mood, I think both a very nice songs. If I'm not, I think they both suck. I suppose I could say teh same thing about Marker In the Sand.

    Big Wave and Unemployable are two of my least favourite PJ songs of their entire catalog - and although I don't hate it, Comatose is a step down from may of their other straight ahead rockers.

  2. Musicians must have a much better appreciation for ... other musicians.

    I really gotta by a new guitar one of these days. I just don't want to turn into one of those campfire dudes that everyone secretly hates.
  3. You know I've never liked unemployable and luckily I can't relate to it but the lyrics are awesome which saves the song for me. "If he can't sleep how will he ever dream". It just captures the subject matter so great. Big Waves shoulda never made the album. But I could deal with it.
  4. no live streaming, Pixies yes instead

    My problem with Unemployable was definitely not with the subject matter (nor the lyrics) but it's poor musical composition. That "chorus" is just terrible - reminded me of a bad seventies song.

  6. Oh well. We'll have to wait a month or two for the bootleg instead...

    ...unless they pull a "2007" on us.

    Was there ever any explanation as to why they didn't release those shows?

    You'll get no argument there! Lol
  8. I guess they are hitting the stage relatively late this evening in Werchter.
  9. Rain delay apparently...
  10. Wow

    RVM opens

  11. Wow, indeed.

    I know it's happened before (but only a long time ago, I think) but after listening to so many PJ bootlegs I am trying to "feel" that one as an opener.

    Great song, anyway.
  12. Rain delay could've had something to do with this start... Who knows
