fans of pearl jam........

princess penny

anyone into pearl jam, alice in Chains, soundgarden,mother love bone, mad season, screaming trees? and find it really hard to find other music fans with the same taste?

MisterAnarchy

Yeah I used to like em.
Ten was a fantastic album but they have slipped since then.
Great live band still though.

GuanYin

yes, ok, yes, yes, hmm, yes.

Temple of The Dog should be to your taste too.

Slipped since Ten? Ten was their debut album ya know :rolleyes:

princess penny

yeah totd, forgot that one!
Jeez pearl jam slipping? awe dont think so! well obviously Im gonna say that cause Im a fan, maybe Binaural! Has anyone heard Lost Dogs?

keu

yea i got lost dogs....beautiful.

although been listening more so to cd2.
fatal real original pearl jam track. has to be heard.

badbob

ten contained some of the most powerful songs i have ever heard live.
Saw pearl jam sometime around 95, in the point, to this day the best ever gig i have been to, and also my first!
i think they played here last year or the year before, but i missed that, nobody seems to listen to their stuff anymore, have to say , didnt really get with their later stuff tho!

Creature

Yeah I love all the above mentioned bands, especially Pearl Jam. And yes I do find it hard to find people who like them too :dunno:

Wasn't their last gig over here in 2000 after the release of Binaural?

Buck Owens

alice in chains are one off the best bands of all time, The unplugged album is great I actually prefer they're acoustic stuff to their heavier stuff. Pearl jam and soundgarden are great too,

flogen

Pearl Jam... Yes! Soundgarden, yes, temple of the dog, yes, mother love bone... erm... I intend on hearing more of their stuff...

Pearl Jam have not slipped since Ten, they just moved away from grunge, and made something fresh every CD... I wonder how fresh Nirvana would sound if they were still going today...
Binaural wasn't a great album tbh, but had some great tracks... it just didn't seem to gel as well as their others (I read a thing with Vedder saying they put the tracks together a different way for that album, which might explain it). Riot Act is a great album, and so is lost dogs, some really, really great stuff on it.... except maybe Gremmie...:D. I prefer the 1st CD, mind you... the 2nd has some great tracks too, but I dont listen to it as much for some reason...

Anyone else here get a copy of the limited edtion Benaroya LP? Can't wait for that to arrive...:D:D

true, I was lucky enough to see them live in March 1993

NightStrike

When you have such a class debut album like ten its always going to be hard to follow that up.

princess penny

Ahh thats a suprise 17 replies! Yeah Lost Dogs is great, Otherside:) Gremmie isnt by Pj, so I guess they cant be totally crucified for it, but I think its funny, thats it!. I have the Alice In Chains acoustic show on video. Its great .I also have Facelift Live. Anyone have Live at the Garden? I dont yet! whoever said about Mother Love Bone, they only had one album, Andy Wood died and the band stopped. And the album ****ing rocks! So where do all you fans exist? Im from Co.Kildare.

6 Binaural
7 Ten

Pearl Jam excellent band. I saw them live when they played backup to Neil Young in Slane, infact I went to see them. They were brilliant but I laughed when they came on. The organisers had the bright idea of putting them on after Van Morrison, so the front was full of flower power middled aged women and men who got trampled and crushed when Pearl Jam appeared

Favourite Pearl Jam song is Do the Evolution.

gogo

I haven't got riot act! When was this released and why haven't i heard about it, i am digusted with myself.

I love all of the above bands, and most people I know are amazed when i say i listen to these bands "but they are so early nineties".

Pearl jam has always been a favourite though, I think I was about twelve when I started playing air 'tennis racquet' guitar to rearview mirror. never looked back.

But i wonder how many of you have there single Last kiss? My brother brought it back from Australia to me, was never released over here and it's one of my favourite pearl jam songs, i love it.

Me for one.

Was to good to be true thinking I was the only one
Actually listening to it now and it damn good.

princess penny

well it is on Lost Dogs ya know!

Shewhomustbe...

I don't have the Last Kiss single, I've got it on the No Boundaries album (plus Lost Dogs)

They recorded Gremmie for the Music for our Mother Ocean album which was for the Surfrider Foundation, (don't like it much myself)

Now to be a complete anorak, have you heard Crazy Mary or Soldier of Love?

therecklessone, you can get it here, the LP box set is gone but the cd is still available,
www.pearljam.com

I get REALLY ticked off when people say Ten was their best album.
Undoubtedly it was a fantastic DEBUT album, but you couldn't seriously expect them to keep playing the same stuff for 15years. They grew as people and therefore changed as musicians, I love how they are willing to experiment. How bored would we all be if they didn't??

Yeah, I did order it. Still pis*ed off the LP was sold out when the merch site finally loaded for me. Two e-mails later and no, they won't be re-pressing it.

Kersh

Every band you mentioned I have all or most of their cds. MotherLove Bone were really good. I find it hard to muster up anyones interest in them, or Green River. You are the 1st person I have heard mention them since 1992ish.

you could always ebay for it... at the moment they're expensive enough, but I'd expect them to drop in price around August, as they should be delivered by then and theres more chance of people selling them on. (at the moment, average price is over $200)

I cant wait for mine... nearly a month to go...:S

i was wondering lost in the relm of music loving all types, until i found pearl jam. Every other band i got into were cool at the start but then got boring, i have all pJ's albums and i love them more and more every day.
Ten was great but not near there best. for me it goes:

1. NO CODE- my fave album of all time lies down in bed half asleep and listen to this by the time Around the Bend comes on you will just feel so happy and know how beutiful the world is. Best songs Off he goes, up in my tree and lukin

2 - Yeild return to the roots with real good hard rock has to be listened to loud Faithfull, do the evolution and wishlist class

3. Vitalogy - wicked album grungy and angry and some amazing lyrics and sing alongs. Corduroy better man and immortality

4 Vs really cool album so very good. Powerfull and political, sweet and hearth breaking. Indifference rearviewmirror and of course Daughter

5 Merkinball - just two songs prob the finest they have The long road and I've Got **** recorded with Neil Young

6 Ten weak compared to the later offerings but still savage, the most powerful songs anthums many of them Jeremy Evenflow alive and Black (most beautiful lyrics i know)

7 lost dogs very good some songs how did they not make them on the albums like i mean there best song and my fave Yellow Ledbetter. many others would be higher but there are some true B sides here

8 Roit Act i really like this album now its grungy and hardExperimental but it works

9 Binaural not that fantastic now i have tpo make my self like it, it doesn't seam to flow but still brilliant songs.

As you can tell i'm quite the fan i need to meet more fans lol i'm from laois. Ive never been to a concert i would give so much to hear Yellow ledbetter and rocking in the free world live. i'll keep an eye on this thread

Soldier of Love is the second song on the last kiss single and i really like it. Tis good.

I'm from laois and it seems to me that half the population of it is in to some kind of good music, you just have to go to portlaoise shopping centre on a saturday morning and check out the t-shirts on the large crowds of pre pubesent boys that will bump into you if you stand still for long enough (about half a minute should cover it).
Aside from irish music the only other dedicated stand that Trax music shop has is for rock/metal so they must be doing a good trade in it. Loads of fans in laois.


Laois is really a sad and scary place - don't ever visit.

great... a pearl jam thread... i love pearl jam, they are such a quality band.

ive a great acoustic version of indifference with ben harper.. not the one from the dvd

fragile

I have found that the live versions of most of Pearl Jams songs are much better than the album versions, they improvise and add extra lyrics/riffs etc...

I saw them live in Wuhlheide, Berlin in 2000 - best gig I have ever been at. It was open air, there was this amazing fork lightning all night in the distance and the atmosphere was electric....

Riot Act and Lost Dogs are both fantastic albums, and Pearl Jam are still one of the most original and talented rock bands working today...

A lot of Pearl Jams bootlegs and covers can be easily found on the net, legitimately, Pearl Jam have always encouraged the sharing of bootlegs and recordings, they are one of the few (only?) major rock bands in the world that allow people to record their live concerts and freely distribuite the recordings. Have a look at the following sites:

http://www.fivehorizons.com

http://www.theskyiscrape.com/

BTW I highly recommend Single Video Theory its a beautifully shot music video/documentary based around the recording of Yield...

"It's about incest; and it's about murder; and you know all those good things. And if you can picture it in your mind, the third song takes place in a jail cell. So this is our own little mini-opera here." --EV, 6/18/92

Yes, I am a huge Pearl Jam fan

RebelRockChick

I listen to Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Sound Garden and Temple of the dog. These bands write amazing Lyrics!! I'm from Cork, don't know any other fans of these bands besides my friends. I would of love to have seen any of these bands live!

While the last three no longer exist in any shape or form, you could still get the chance to see Pearl Jam live

Down in a hole

The bands mentioned along the lines of Pearl Jam,NIRVANA,Alice in Chains.Mad Season and Temple Of The Dog produced some of the best music in the course of the early 90's.The real tradegy is that new bands like Linkin Park and Funeral For A Friend is that people identify crap nu metal with men like Eddie Vedder and Layne Staley.

I hadnt really noticed that to be honest, I got the opinion that the likes of Rage against the machine were being labelled as crap ass nu metal when thats not even possible. But yeah they class Nickelback and Puddle of Mud as nu metal dont they? and they in turn try to make their music grungie, which doesnt work obviously. Actually Puddle .... do a cover of AIC's Brother and claim they were their big inspiration. you'd wonder then why they dwindle and associate with pop or mainstream manufactured babble! I dont think their incompetency could ever cast a shadow of doubt or anything on artists like Layne and Eddie for me anyway, but yeah it pisses me off too.

anothervictim

do the evolution is probably the best song i'd say i think last kiss is a cover - tho i don't know who its by... Also, i heard of this other album called 'covering them ' were they did stuff like 'crazy mary' and 'baba o reilly' ; has anyone else heard of this?

some really good covers can be downloaded from this PJ FAN SITE..

Here is the story behind Last Kiss..

http://www.jimbowieband.com/Lyrics/last_kiss.htm

originally released as a fan-club-only single, demand from fans and radio programmers resulted in the nationwide release of "Last Kiss," and it eventually became the band's highest-charting pop hit to date, peaking at number two and going gold.

I really know too much about this band

Yeah Ben Harper is cool too. He plays on Live at the Garden with them, I think. My friend from England saw him recently and he played indifference at his show. The guy has taste!

Princess Penny I am in love with u for starting a PJ thread......

I have a lot to owe Eddie Vedder and Co.
Songs like Nothingman, Black, Off He Goes, Evenflow, Sleight of Hand, Thumbing my Way are held very very close to my heart. Ever moment in this crappy little life i call mine has some link with Pearl Jam - Love Life Happiness (!) Death Sadness even drinking
What can i say about them......
I missed them in 96 and 00 due to stupid reasons and am biting my nails for the next even near miss!
PEARL JAM u rock!
All time Fav. PJ song: BLACK

Bunnyefey

Pearl Jam and Mother Love Bone always hit a special chord with me. Brought me through my teens screaming and made me the person I am today. But today, I love grunge even more than back then if its possible

I recommend that if you haven't seen it yet, that you check out the film "Singles" It has an amazing grungey soundtrack and some of our grunge gods have cool cameos in it.

Creature

I have the soundtrack to that film but I've yet to see it. Soundtrack does rock though.

Don't forget State of Love and Trust by Pearl Jam.

Currently listening to Live at Benaroya hall........WOW!

Is there any talk of PJ coming to Europe on tour, I have checked all the usual net haunts for this kind of gossip and I can't find anything definite Anybody know anything I don't know?

Creature

I'd say they'll do a tour of Europe when they release the next album. They didn't cover Europe when they toured for Riot Act so I'd be certain they'll come here when the next album is out.

Nukem

I can remember studying for my 1st year exams listening to Bad Motor Finger by Sound Garden and i still listen to d same CD by the way that was 9 years ago. Damn i feel old.

And by the way. Think No Code is the best Pearl Jam album ever, but that was the first Pearl jam CD i got but Ten would be a close second

Think il go home and listen to Bad Motor Finger in a min

Cindy Love

Alice in Chains where incredible.Such a powerful and emotional band they where the real deal i mean i might sound auld (for 23)but they werent 1 bit manufactured which is poignant compared to the 'rock' music that would follow their demise....pity but tis the way life goes.Guess we just gotta hang around for the next great rock group!!

I love Pearl Jam but particulary the album Ten.Its aged quite well particularly when u compare it to other music that came out at the same time. Some of the tracks of the later albums are really sentimental too-they had such a good combo between hard edged rock and sentiment..,Think they lost there way a little though!

Did Layne Stayley die the same age as Kurt Cobain.?(by the way some of you may be interested to know the same director of ELEPHANT is directing the new movie about the final days of kurts ,tis bound to be controversial!!

Kurt died on April 5th, 1994 at the age of 27. Layne died on April 5th, 2002 at the age of 34, exactly 8 years after Kurt.

The hidden track on the Pearl Jam album, Lost Dogs, is a tribute by Eddie Vedder to Layne, entitled "4-20-02" it is a song that Eddie recorded almost immediately upon hearing of the death of the late great Layne Staley.

May they both RIP

AIC - Would?

Yes I love Pearl Jam too......lol and I like most the bands you listed like Soundgarden and Screaming Trees. I also like Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and Temple Of the Dog.

verdidnt

All Pearl Jam fans should get the Live at the Garden DVD. It's bloody excellent. It's shot really well, no gimmicks. Just raw footage of the band onstage and loads of extras. Ben Harper sings indifference with the band, it's class.

I think Ten is their best album. I think over the years they have become more of a traditional rock band. Saw them in the point both times they played here. Will never forget their opener at the first gig - 'Release'. The point was covered in red and purple lights and the crowd sang back overpowering the PA. Ahh them were the days...

Shoolaboola

ooooh i LOVE pearljam! i only have "ten" though....most people you mention pearljam to are all like "grun grunt....don't you mean britney?"
ugh.....so many skangers...
