Running

[VinylGuy]

damn that bridge is catchy as hell, im singing the damn thing all the time

[dprival78]

where can i go to rank the "dark matter" singles?

[RockPusher]

If Watt ruined Chad and Matt's drum sound, as some are saying, Chad and Matt are just as much to blame as Watt. They've been pro drummers for multiple decades. They don't have to sign off on something if they don't want to.

Unless your boss is Eddie Vedder and he says "you have to sign on something if you don't want to."

Your insistence on Ed being a villain is so weird

same

[liebzz]

What if the rest of the album sounds like Trans and these two singles were the bait and switch?

[Homeboyd]

You fuckers have me paying attention to the drums lol. And I have no idea about drum sounds or recording techniques, but Matt is on fire on this track.

pearl jam sucks now

You got me running
got me running
but the (something) never ends

"racing"

[Jaeti]

I think this one will grow on people, generally speaking.

“deaf old rock star”

this explains everything.. makes perfect sense.. how could i not have considered he had lost most of his hearing... i guess even with hearing aides, things still don't sound the same

-he took 40% of the royalties decades ago
-he’s suing an EB philanthropic fund
-the band is paying their tour artists in merch

1) source?
2) the details on that were far from clear and Ed's own EB charity is legit as I have shown through links and info I posted
3) source?

-he took 40% of the royalties decades ago

Perry Farrell requested 62.5% of all Jane's songwriting publishing on the eve of recording Nothing's Shocking or said he was quitting.
Ed's practically Mother Teresa in comparison

Absolutely- it's already grown on me a lot through 4 or 5 listens

[Ms Harmless]

I really, really don't think Ed is proverbially tying the band up in a basement like you seem to think; they're all happy

I would definitely tie Stone up in the basement, if:
A. My wife would let me
B. I actually had a basement, in which I could then tie up members of my favorite bands

have you asked her? times are a-changin'

Imagine that nobody told Francis Ford Coppola that “Jack” was an awful idea for a movie!

are you saying Coppola was deaf too? Or are you saying Ed is deaf to criticism, even the self kind?

Mother Teresa lived off Baby Doc Duvalier’s money and ran a chain of scam “hospitals” where they deprived patients of medicines telling them than pain was Jesus kissing them.

I wouldn’t use her as an example in this contest unless I wanted to really insult somebody with this comparison.

Don't give false juice to my duckwalkin' dreams, Harmless...what a throuple!

he is, it's really pushing me over to "I really like this" rather than "this is fine" (as well as the wall of loud guitars)
