I'm almost as excited for his debut album as i was for re-buying Ten.

He should have done this... oh, two, three albums ago.

So much fail in one headline.

Who?

"Sing the sad one from Into the Wild! No, the other one! No, not that one!"

Pearl Jam is one of the most overrated bands of all time

I can't think of another band that has consistently churned out great music over such a long period of time. Subby may think it's all the same, but at least it's all good.

yeah, Vitalogy was sooooooo radio-friendly

Why does he look like Jack Black and Tim Robbins had a kid?

GreenAdder: Why does he look like Jack Black and Tim Robbins had a kid?

Honestly. I never feel so old as when I look at current pictures of the bands that popped up when I was in college. I don't expect them not to age, but Jesus. He looks like David Crosby, now.

Cool?

Have you heard "Bugs"?

Hmm, Brad, and Satchel are unimpressed, and ask, "what took so long Eddie?"

NittLion78: yeah, Vitalogy was sooooooo radio-friendly

Yeah, and what does MOR stand for? I'm usually pretty good at acronyms, and in this case too lazy to google.

Lol at the three shows in Hawaii. Think he just woke up one morning and decided he wanted to become Jack Johnson?

NittLion78: yeah, Vitalogy was sooooooo radio-friendly

Exactly. PJ is the poster band for "We have no qualms about getting drunk and high and releasing something with little commercial appeal.

/corduroy, tremor christ, satan's bed, etc, all very good
//betterman also good, but much older than album release

mysticcat: Pearl Jam is one of the most overrated bands of all time

Name one band that isn't and i'll find someone that says exactly the same thing.

Yeah, they haven't really been 'radio friendly' since Vs.

That was the most overrated comment EVAR!!

jayhawk88: Lol at the three shows in Hawaii. Think he just woke up one morning and decided he wanted to become Jack Johnson?

I wouldn't hold that against anyone. Happily married, semi-pro surfer, filmmaker, makes mellow hits on his own label, lives on the beach in the quiet part of Hawai'i.

Of course, Eddie is playing a charity festival with Jack Johnson on those dates, so there is that.

mysticcat: Pearl Jam is one of the most overrated bands of all time

I'll put em'on the list:

- Pearl Jam
- Radiohead
- U2
- Metallica
- The Beatles (eat it)
- Rush
- Led Zepplin
- Vengaboys

I don't recall anybody ever gushing about how awesome Pearl Jam is. So I don't know how they can really be considered overrated.

Yeah, because I've hear songs from No Code, Yield, Binaural, Riot Act, and Pearl Jam played to death on the radio.

I got to see him on during his last solo stint in DC in August. It was one of the best shows I've ever been to. The Into the Wild songs are mellow and good live. I'll probably be hitting up one of his shows this time around, too.

/big PJ fan who thinks their best work started with Yield.

factoryconnection: I wouldn't hold that against anyone. Happily married, semi-pro surfer, filmmaker, makes mellow hits on his own label, lives on the beach in the quiet part of Hawai'i.

Yeah no lie. You know you've got a good life when other rock stars want to live like you.

Hey now, VS and No Code are good too.

The rest are mediocre phoning-it-in trash.

Ten Club had been predicting a summer Pearl Jam tour. I guess it's possible in July and August.

/also wtf at no NYC and 2 Phila

jayhawk88: Lol at the three shows in Hawaii. Think he just woke up one morning and decided he wanted to become Jack Johnson?

Eddie is an avid surfer, probably friends with Jack to boot.

I'm glad that at least a few of the good singers from the 90s made it out alive.

I can't help but think that Bradley Nowell would still be making great music had he made it.

His soundtrack for Into The Wild was friggin' awesome.

As for who he looks like:





/Don't tell me that's not the same damn person

My baby loves him no matter what...

Pearl Jam will just get the dude who sang for Creed to sing for them and nobody will know the difference.

OMFG
i just watched the commercial for that movie ['state of play'] last night, and when i saw Crowe, i immediately though, 'hey he looks a bit like current beareded/long haired Eddie Vedder'
i kid you not.

Ten was great. Then they started releasing albums with one or two listenable songs apiece. Lucky for them, most of their fanbase smokes entirely too much weed to notice.

Alive and Even Flow are played on the radio more often than all the songs from the five albums No Code, Yield, Binaural, Riot Act, and Pearl Jam combined. headinthesandmitter.

All Apologies: probably friends with Jack to boot.

they are. Jack Johnson opened for PJ when they toured many years back and that is how he got his break.

SlothB77:

Yet another reason to wish Pearl Jam never existed.

Isn't it funny that Eddie Vedder's pre-PJ band was called Bad Radio? How prophetic.
