DCGNR Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 What do you mean, " Say what you want" I've been a Pearl Jam fan from day one and will probably always beI hate that Vedder uses the microphone for his Political Non-Sense, but other than that.......Pearl Jam is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDeeds Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I was also impressed. I was impressed by two other things, too. One was the bubble thing that the singer from the Flaming Lips was in. He was inside this clear plastic ball and rolling over the crowd. That's so cool. I've never seen that before. I love that sort of stuff in a rock show. The other thing was that they showed usually 2 whole songs from each of the bands paying tribute and 5 or 6 whole ones from The Who. That's great. Usually on TV you get one whole one and a second one that is cut off half way through.I really rocked out to the Rock Honors show. I thought it was great. I really liked how (I think Roger) said he and Pete still feel Keith's and John's presence on the stage and it still feels as if they are part of the show.

Zint Posted July 20, 2008 Author Share Posted July 20, 2008 What do you mean, " Say what you want" To be honest... I was going to call the thread "Say what you want about Pearl Jam ffrank..."cuz he's one of the biggest Pearl Jam haters around here...yet they just did amazing justice to ffranks' fav bandBut..I thought if I singled him out he would go on a ten page essay in response. (joking ffrank)And there are some other Pearl Jam haters here...so I generalized it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Oujamaflip Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I love Pearl Jam. I think Matt Cameron joining them was an awesome move on his part because, well Pearl Jam own and Cameron is one of the best drummers around at the moment so it works perfectly for me.

ffrankwhite Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I'm by no means a fan of The Who, I dunno, it just never clicked with me, but those songs, and what Pearl Jam make out of them is just mindblowing, a breathtaking performance!i wasnt gonna comment in this thread thats the most horrifying thing i've ever heard...Pearl Jam CANNOT do these songs very well at all for a number of reasons and the main one is that they just dont have the...synergy. What Entwhistle, Moon and Townshend had as a musical unit is near enough impossible to replicate, it was so unique. John Entwhistle was basically a musical genius...the man "changed the fuckin instrument". What...those boys had wasnt...just an ordinary band where like OK, drum and bass provides rhythm and Townshend lays leads over it and Roger sings, no. Townshend was basically a very loud rhythm player, he worked AROUND Moonie and Entwhistle. He did a bit of lead work but (listen to the albums) Moonie and Entwhistle are like...the reason their sound is so...FULL is because of them, you cant just immitate that, it doesnt work. that fucking...cacophonous rhythmic quality that The Who had isnt like your normal fucking band its...(how'd you explain something you hear so clearly yet defies description?!?!) Its basic counterpoint...Pete amped chunky heavy RnB rhythm work all kicked up into the air by Thunderfingers and The Loon. its perfect in practise AND theory.They cant even copy it well, let alone do better. and Edward compared to Rog' as a frontman well...pfft!!! Theres the door..and im sorry but PJ doing Baba O Reilly better? alright yeah, excuse me, i need to go to the bathroom now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charming. i'd have to agree with you franky! they have no energy on stage or in the music.What you think of their music is a matter of personal taste, but regardless of what you think of their music, accusing them of having no energy on stage is laughable.
