I assure you I'm not angry. I just can't believe you would call this song at all complex if you know anything about chord structure or guitar playing.

They're a live band in the sense that they've put out one (bad) record in the last 10 years but have continued to tour.

And oh god are they good live.
their album to tour ratio used to be much higher, so maybe they're a "live band" in the sense that they're old and less interested in innovating in the studio
Let's put it this way:

How many people will keep going to their concerts no matter how good/bad are their new records?

Sadly, they've become irrelevant studio wise.
so they're less a "live band" to me and more a... not very good one

PJ fans go to concerts almost entirely to absorb the magic of a "jamily" atmosphere now; I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just saying that it's not the polished nature of the music that pulls them anymore, largely shown in the number of people who have seen them 50 times compared to any new fans they might be pulling in
Here (Spain, Europe), fans go to their concerts because they kick ass and are one of the best bands to ever do it, basically. There are no seats in the pit and people still have the time of their lifes when they go see them live, I guarantee you that. There are lots of jumping around, hugging and even moshing when the old hits come.

I haven't seen them in the States, so I can't talk about that 'jamily' thing, but I usually see people way quieter and used to see them. I guess the experiences are entirely different.
OK but jumping around and hugging have absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the band's musicianship

I didnt say it was complex. I said its not as generic to me as others say it is. I dont care if a song is power chords. I dont care if its jazz chords. None of that fucking matters to me in the end. Nor does time signature. Complex does not equal good.

What I love about this song is eds performance in that there doesnt seem to be a natural and typical song structure. Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, outro.

This song is all over the place. 1/2 of the jamily hates that. I love it. To me, the structure and layout of the song (and energy) is far more interesting than anything off the last two records.

To me, they can make me feel more emotions than any other band in the entire world.

I seek that emotions when I listened to them, and I never find em when they take the fun-happy route. Not once.

See, you dummie, you're not getting my humor. That was my joke. I know he plays guitar, if I didn't I wouldn't have said that. To me it's a bit shocking that a guitar player would call this chord progression anything but dirt simple. Strat cleared that up for me already so we can move on.

I agree that complexity =/= good but this song just isn't any good in any way imo and Ed sounds horrible. Good for those who are enjoying it though.

all pearl jam songs are easy to play on guitar. They've never been a complex or challenging band.

Did you know that probably 98% of their songs are power chords?

Yeah, the first song I learned on guitar was RVM. It's true and I agree complexity doesn't ultimately matter.
