I wanted something different for mach 2, not the same exact version of the song . After that let down combined with this extended wait I've been wanting to wrestle Stone's lanky ass.

Could it be anything other than a Stone Cold Stunner?
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

This is such a troll move (and clearly a move to get Youtube views). That being said, the band looks great for a bunch of 50 year olds.

I grew up in a small town that had a perverted scary old walking dude with long yellow finger nails who used to grab and slap the nuts of any teenage boy who walked passed him. He'd wait on a bridge. If a car was coming we had to sprint around him or wait it out. I was patient and never got fondled! Sadly, my peers began slappin each other in the nuts and simultaneously yelling "bud mullins", which was that old guy's name. So in school we would stand holding our nuts for protection, which didn't go over well with teachers.

So yeah, I'd probably get him in an arm bar but after letting him up I'd give em a hard slap to the nuts! As he was bent over I'd probably say "i thought you had nuts of Stone"?

Self, don't you see what this wait is doing to you? It's digging up Freddy Krueger-like memories from the past. It's not healthy.

Song is still surprisingly, incredibly good and the video was great.

I think you're too deep in the weeds of Pearl Jam messageboarding if you're wound up about the Mach I/II/III thing.

It was obvious where this was going from the outset.

Good song, decent video. And I don’t give a fuck about there being 3 videos unlike certain boring troll dullards. :wave:

Awesome? Imo, pj have some great songs. Take nais and hail hail for examples. Nais needed a guitar solo to be great. hail hail didn't, it had a great bridge and is a timeless hard rock/alternate rock masterpiece. Dotc was designed just with the purpose of drawing new fans? Its too poppy to be timeless (for me anyway) without a good jam in it. It needed a significant guitar, bass & drum jam to make parts of the song more bearable:


So save your predictions
And burn your assumptions


It's not a negative thought
But positive, positive, positive

Coulda held me up, rather tear me down
Drown in the river


I'm in love with clairvoyants
'Cause they're out of this world

I know the girls wanna dance
Fall away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks, and fix and file things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and file things

I agree that the song is holding up well and this video is pretty good.

I find it hard to believe that everyone here isn’t at least mildly annoyed that the audio is exactly the same in all 3 videos. Some sort of alternate take would have been a pretty nice payoff. There probably is some artistic reasoning for having the 3 videos build upon each other but I am more inclined to believe the premise someone else brought up of the final take not being ready in time.
There's the dog. You can't fake that stuff. Confess with your mouth.

I don’t know about the artistic reasoning but the company that did all the visuals seemed pretty excited about the first video, so they’re probably benefiting from multiple videos.

Three videos is unnecessary to me, but its nothing that I would ever call insulting because that sounds absurd.
