Are you kidding me? You think Pearl Jam is overrated?
Lyrically speaking, there aren't that many bands out there that can match. The album "No Code" was one of the best albums they ever released. Yield was okay too, but "No Code" was really good.
Expect a good show if you go. Just keep an open mind, have a few brews and you'll enjoy it for sure. Besides, you may just get some co-worker poontang after so, how bad can that Sunday be?
you are right.. i mean i probably have not given them much of a chance.. that would be like wehn people talk bad about DMB and only listen to studio albums or radio releases... because even i dont like that stuff (for the most part).
most people don't know what DMB is about (no, not pot - haha)
to me, they are the BEST... and there is so much that the averae listener has NO CLUE about. but i'm not gonna get into that....
so maybe with Pearl Jam it's the same.. i never gave them a chance beyond normal stuff and i just go ughhh. with most bands i like--- the live show is what makes them. so maybe i'll judge Pearl Jam after the show.
but yes regardless .... i am going for HER not for PJ -- so it will be fun no matter what!

The waiting drove me mad.
You're finally here and I'm a mess.
I take your entrance back.
Can't let you roam inside my head.
I don't want to take what you can't give.
I would rather starve than eat your bread.
I would rather run but I can't walk.
Guess I'll lie alone just like before.
I'll take the firmest path.
Oh, and I must refuse your test.
Push me and I will resist.
This behavior's not unique.
I don't want to hear from those who know.
They can buy, but can't put on my clothes.
I don't want to limp for them to walk.
Never would have known of me before.
I don't want to be held in your debt.
And I'll pay it off in blood, let I be wed.
And I'm already cut up and half dead.
I'll end up alone like I began.
Everything has chains, absolutely nothing's changed.
Take my hand, light my picture, still my teacher.
I don't want to take what you can give.
I would rather starve than eat your breast.
All the things that others want for me.
Can't buy what I want because it's free.
Can't buy what I want because it's free
Can't be what you want because I'm...
I ain't s'posed to be just fun
Oh, to live and die, let it be done.
I figure I'll be damned, all alone like I began.
It's your move now.
I thought you were a friend, but I guess I,
I guess I hate you...
I hated them too in the beginning Mike...I thought this teen angst bullshitter is number one pussy of all time get over yourself. A couple of years ago I got past the image of the guy and got into the music.
My favorite song from 10...probably my all time favorite of Pearl Jam...
what the fuck is this world
running to?
you didn't leave a message
at least i could have
heard your voice one last time.
daily minefield
this could be my time
how 'bout you?
would you hit me?
would you hit me?
all the bills go by
and initiatives are taken up
by the middle
there ain't gonna be any middle any more
and the cross i'm bearing home
ain't indicative of my place
left the porch
left the porch
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
walk beside me
i just need to say...
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
i could not take
a-just one day
i know
when i would not ever
touch you...
hold you...
feel you...
in my arms...
never again...
I've always been an avid fan. Ten was an awesome album until it got played out in every pool hall I was at.
This track from No Code is currently on my mind. Fucking therapy is helping me but also giving me a mental breakdown simultaneously. Simple song, simple lyrics, but Vedder does it well.

Do you see the way that tree bends?
Does it inspire?
Leaning out to catch the sun's rays
A lesson to be applied
Are you getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who can't forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense
Have you ideas on how this life ends?
Checked your hands and studied the lines
Have you the belief that the road ahead, ascends off into the light?
Seems that needlessly it's getting harder
To find an approach and a way to live
Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?
You can spend your time alone re-digesting past regrets, oh
Or you can come to terms and realize
You're the only one who cannot forgive yourself, oh
Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense
Pearl Jam concert???
