Originally posted by dylbagz:Just listening to The Fixer on my playlist trying to learn all these songs for when they are out here in January, and I have a question:
Did the Gaslight Anthem copy Pearl Jam's sound on that track, or did Pearl Jam copy the Gaslight Anthem? Because if someone credited that track to TGA I wouldn't think twice about it. I actually had to double check it was still PJ.
Was Yellow Ledbetter a tribute to Hendrix? Sounds quite a lot like his guitar work heavily influenced that one.
Hendrix is one of Stone Gossard's biggest influences so whatever you say will be spot on. YL sounds a lot like Hendrix indeed

Don't agree so much about The Fixer, but if some band has to influence the other I'd say it would be Pearl Jam over TGA. TGA have covered Pearl Jam quite a few times, Brian Fallon has declared to be obsessed over some PJ songs, etc.
