When he first discovered the band, he thought they were actually named "Pearl Jim" because his friend who told him about them had a weird accent. He spent the next several years calling them "Pearl James" to be respectful.

This song has been kicking my ass the last couple days. Still don't like the beginning though, and I think it's Eddie's voice that's putting me off, it's too loud.

"Except that if you do a record with Pearl Jam, you'd better have Eddie [Vedder] good and loud! And a groove going."

I knew it. BoB has Dave A. locked up in his recording studio, preventing him from getting hold of any PJ tunes and making them good.

I know I've shit on a lot of what I've heard from the new album, but I really like this tune (at least the studio version).

This song is climbing to the top of the mountain of my affections and its taking no prisoners along the way.

This is fuckin pearl jam. Possibly at their balls out best

And for this I make no apologies.

The guitar during the chorus is what puts the song over the top for me. It seemed to be low in the mix at Wrigley and the song suffered from it.
