Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Yeah, I can't think of a better example either. I really like the rest of the song, but the opening makes me cringe.guitar_davey wrote:Lounge Lizard wrote:FONguitar_davey wrote:I'm psyched for this album. My only slight concern is some of it being too "cock rock" for lack of a better term. I'm not sure how to take these GnR comparisons for Sirens. I grew up with GnR, so I don't hate them, but...worlds colliding a bit. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Related to that, here's one for you all: most cock rock PJ song? Go...
I was thinking this too. Maybe not overall IMHO, and I like the song a lot, but that opening bit of wah guitar sounds pretty cock rock.

My Father's Son continues to be the song I'm most intrigued about. No one can seem to describe it.

A lot of hate/dislike for AtW on here huh? I always thought it was a pretty uplifting song and, dare I say it, the closest thing to "classic Pearl Jam" that they've done in the past 15 years.
