In order to make a "better record", you would have to make atleast a crappy one first. These guys suck so bad, its like the crap is redefined to something so bad it cant get better. Its like the ultimate negative.

Oh that's right, I went there.

"I'm the Ocean" is one of my favorite Neil Young songs, so I am not getting a kick out of some of these replies.

I loved Mirror Ball for what it was and heartily welcome a followup and tour.

Mirror Ball was farking great, and while Neil Young's albums have been awful lately, I think he'd have to work really hard to fark up a collab with Pearl Jam.

I heard Neil still puts on a rocking show, and as many times as I've seen Pearl Jam already, a tour for this would definitely have me turning out to the Garden again.

As far as I'm concerned, Pearl Jam stopped existing after Ten.

Pearl Jam sucked about two weeks before Ten was released. I'm more HIP and WITH IT than you are.

I was there too,s econd night, with my favorite band Wilco on the bill also. Neil didn't leave the stage until 12:40. That's very late for MSG.

Mirror Ball is an excellent album. I have a feeling the followup will be very disappointing.

I Got ID Lyrics

My lips are shaking my nails are bit off.
Been a month since I've heard myself talk.
All the advantage this life's got on me.
Picture a coffin in the middle of the sea.

And I fight back in my mind. Never lets me be right.
I got memories. I got shiat so much it don't show.

Oh, I walked the line when you held me in that night.
I walked the line when you held my hand that night.

An empty shell seems so easy to crack.
Got all these questions. Don't know who I could even ask.
So I'll just lie alone and wait for the dream where I'm not ugly and you're looking at me.

And I stay in bed. Oh, little ive seen there.
If just once I could feel love, oh, stare back at me . Yeah.

But I walked the line when you held me in that night.
Oh, I walked the line when you held my hand that night.
Oh, I walked the line when you held me close that night.
I paid the price. Never held you in real life.
My lips are shaking...

/Sounds pretty goddamn good to me, assmitter

I liked Mirror Ball when it came out, but haven't played it recently. Saw them headline Reading together, and they were excellent (not a big PJ fan, either)

 
Gunny Highway 2009-02-12 02:00:23 PM  
I saw him on the Greendale tour and it was a great show. They played the entire album (with actors) and then came out and played a rockin' set. I give Neil the benefit of the doubt every time, mostly because he has earned it. Lets hope this project is better than his last couple of albums. I probably wont listen because I am not a PJ fan but I am hoping they do a good job.

/Year of the Horse is one of my favorite live albums ever.

Pearl Jam is great. That is all.

If I had a dime for every d-bag I've had this argument with I'd buy you "Yield" and accept your retraction of the above.

Glad to see the Mirror Ball love here. It would be an amazingly pleasant suprise if this effort could be duplicated.

Mirror Ball was pretty good actually. I saw Neil Young recently, he sounded great. I would not mind seeing this revisited.

I always feel like I'm the only Neil Young fan who liked Mirror Ball, so this thread is kinda reassuring to me.



/frigging pumped for this.

 
degreeless 2009-02-12 03:42:17 PM  
No offense to present company, but I think the "Mirror ball" era was when Pearl Jam jumped the shark and became hipster douche bag music relegated to point of sale displays in coffee houses.

 
xdedd 2009-02-12 04:05:14 PM  
Mirror Ball was a fantastic album, can't wait to hear the new stuff.

 
AgentOrangeDrink 2009-02-12 04:43:29 PM  
This isn't surprising, as all Pearl Jam songs either sound like sh*tty Neil Young or sh*tty The Who. Except that one awful song that sounds like sh*tty Jimi Hendrix and Do The Evolution, their only good song.

 
Slu 2009-02-12 05:37:43 PM  
I only like a couple of Mirrorball tracks, but I like both the Merkinball tracks. But I like PJ more than Neil Young, so that stands to reason.

I think Weld is my favorite live album.

On the Beach and Tonight's the Night are in heavy rotation right now.

And Rock and Roll Cowboy when I am feeling frisky.

 
Dwight_Yeast 2009-02-12 06:50:10 PM  
The problem with the album wasn't that it sucked at first listen. It was that you put it on five months later and said, "Why in the hell did I buy this shiat?"

 
teflonsteve [TotalFark] 2009-02-12 07:09:37 PM  
The album was great and another collaboration would great as well

This is just another part of the elaborate ploy to never release Archives.

I think Year of the Horse is his best live album, though of course Live Rust and Unplugged are wonderful. Personally, one of my most favorite periods of Neil Young music in which the tone of his guitar, music, voice and backing bands was absolutely great, was the Harvest Moon to Year of the Horse period. I love every minute of those albums.

That being said, there's so much great music from the man that any two people talking about their favorite anything of Neil Young is like debating crispy versus soggy bacon - it's still farking awesome.

Mirrorball is the only Neil Young or Pearl Jam album I listen to anymore. I really like every track on it.

Pearl Jam to wake wank the cranky carcass of Neil Young...

This... I fixed it for you.

I work with a boomer who went... I almost went, too, but my friends wanted to go see of Montreal that night. That was quite a different experience.

Neil's been doing fine finding ways to do that for the last couple of years (actually since the 80's, I guess).

Neil's been promising the Archieves as long as I've been a fan, and the first album I bought was Ragged Glory (I was 13).
