Vs: Official Album thread

bring back Dave A

[rick malone]

Dave A. commented on youtube that he always tried to serve the song and that nothing will ever again match Pearl Jam live 91-94. Also said he was never a punk rock guy and was more of a fan of funk, Zeppelin, Foghat, and Zappa among others. It's a pinned comment to a drum teacher reacting to Dave playing Go.

[VinylGuy]

I think one of the strenght of the band is how different they sound live in all the eras. I love 91/94 but im more interested on what they did live in 96 or 98 and no doubt about it, 2000 /05 /06 my favorite live era for the band.

There’s probably a thread for this but if you could sit down and chop it up with any member of the band past or present, how could you not choose Dave A?

Because there's eight other people to choose from, that's how.

[Coach]

Vs. was Pearl Jam's second album.

I make a decision to choose Dave A every time I wake up in the morning

Glorified version of a rock drummer.

[Matters]

Biased as he might be, Dave A is the most likely to give authentic responses to your questions. If you want contrived or non-answers, Ed or Jeff. Unfettered positivity..? Mike. Stone would be interesting but he’s gonna skirt. If not Dave A, I’d say Jack. Dave K doesn’t like to talk about PJ.

VS is a weird one for me. It has some of their best songs (Daughter, Elderly woman, RVM, Indifference) but also some real duds (Rats, Glorified G, lLeash, Dissident)…

Oh and WMA in the dud category

I’ll give WMA another chance. I just always checked out during the run of Glorified G > Dissident > WMA > Blood. I’ll spin Vs with an open mind

WTF? First your spurious claim of being a vitalogist and now this?

Thin ice, my friend. Thin ice…

Dissident and Leash are the true stinkers on this album

[epilogue]

WMA will never be the "Best" song on the album, but it's top half. And there are days when I'd say it's top 5.

[liebzz]

Dissident and Leash are the true stinkers on this album

Is this a hot take. A dissident is here?

Actually I agree they are the weakest songs on the album, and probably the two that sound most like they’d fit on Ten.

Try to unhear this: “Couldn’t hold on!! She couldn’t hold oooon, oh she farted, a dissident is here.”

[Birds in Hell]

Dissident is all about what Stone, Jeff and Dave doing during the verses and bridge.

Golden Pearl Jam.

pearl jam sucks now
