I think you may want to listen to the latter parts of Lightning Bolt before readdressing the above statement(s).
oh it sounds so good there. Same at the end of MYM. It is a great exclamation point. I can see being turned off if it is the entire song (ala johnny guitar, for instance)


To be fair it's just the "thoughts will soon arrIIIIIIVE" part that's grating me at the moment. I like the concept, just don't think it's "in his register" any more. Maybe I'd have preferred a more conservative delivery of that part on record and wouldn't have minded if he wanted to put his nuts on the block a bit more for that bit when played live.
I think that bit at the end of lightning bolt sounds rough . No god with such Miiiieeeeaaaghhhhtttssghthg*coughs up a lung*

This is a really nice vignette and the song looks like it *could* be very nice indeed. It's got a timeless feel to it.

Or it could something else. There's a danger of blandness.

Hmm, so if Stone's not going to be involved in any of the vignettes... and we only have 1 confirmed song that he wrote for LB (LTRP)... May I ask, is this band still Pearl Jam?

CupidStunt wrote:"There is no god with a plan" and "god is nowhere to be found conveniently" pretty much sum up what I've always believed Ed's religious stance to be.
ive always thought 'marker in the sand' showed ed's belief in god, not that he didnt believe in god. i think he's saying there's no god in people who wage war over religion.

Why do you think he won't be in a vignette just because he hasn't been so far? I mean, he might not but I'm just wondering why people are thinking it. We still have nearly a month.
