highvoltage Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 - We know Lightning Bolt was terrible- We know Eddie is FAT and can't sing anymore- The setlist changes way too much, it's impossible for a casual fan to go and enjoy a showThey should have changed the name after Dave Kruzen left. When are they going to stop disgracing the legacy of this incredible band? Face it, Pearl Jam is OVER. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maynard Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 1 album in six months. Sooner or later they'll end up playing Vegas or milking South American fanatics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesterdays-Civil-War Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Boom Gaspar recently said that this is the best incarnation of the band he's been in and I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't keep up! Fuck them! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlsalinger Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Lightning Bolt was a masterpiece. It's just that the general public isn't smart enough to understand it. Same goes for 99% of Pearl Jam fans. The over-production is really like under-production, if you stop to think about what Eddie was trying to do. Some songs sound like they're from Vitalogy 3. If such a thing existed. It was a bit much building a lion's den in the studio for Stone, though. Future Days is like Eddie's grand statement, he doesn't need to release anything else after that. Retire the name and start working on movie soundtracks. Edited April 1, 2014 by axlsalinger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTD Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) ^ Fuck you dude, PJ was big deal for me when growing up. I occasionally drop by for nostalgia. I wish they would have died the day I turned 24 or so. That way, they'd be young forever. It is fucking depressing to age with aging grunge stars.I don't give a fuck about music but their #swag is awesome.

Mr. Dude Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I agree. Lightning Bolt is about as bland and boring of a rock record that a band of that stature could make. Its totally safe and creatively flat. Purely by the numbers aor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todo Poderoso Timão Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Eddie is Pearl Jam.Always been and always will be.The day that PJ has an axeman 10%-worth and famous and supportive as Slash, then this post will be meaningful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downzy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 This was part of the forum's April Fools gag last year. Fairly certain it wasn't HV's intention to start a genuine Pearl Jam discussion in the GNR D&N section /locked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
