Re: Waiting For Stevie
We still make records to be listened to — not that everyone will listen to a record track one to twelve in a row or side A or Side B — but we still make 'em in case somebody does want to listen to it like that, that's how we make em…

I could imagine this opening a show too - big, open sound, and space for the crowd to warm up with the bandoneway23 wrote:This is a set closer/pre-encore all tourmray10 wrote:The feeling I get when after the second bridge as the main riff kicks back in is really something.

Re: Waiting For Stevie
That's what' so insane: this song could legitimately close out a show on the scale of "Alive".

Anyone listen to this and picture in their mind long-haired Stone grooving and skinny mustache Mike leaning back and shredding with his eyes closed?

Re: Waiting For Stevie
I don't know who Stevie is, but this is faintly like a bizarro Leash for me. The outro and post out are so innovative.

The list of pj songs I fell this hard for on first listen is very short. I can only think of 2 others, post Ten.

Re: Waiting For Stevie
Hearing similarity to Hold On. Definitely in style and feel.
My cousin heard it today for the first time and immediately said "holy shit sounds like Avocado!"
Pretty sure he's hearing a similarlity to Army Reserve.

Was one of the others Sad? I have songs I love, but this one grabbed me the way Sad did, which is different from many others that I love more than this or even Sad.Matters wrote:The list of pj songs I fell this hard for on first listen is very short. I can only think of 2 others, post Ten.

Re: Waiting For Stevie
Won't Tell and Waiting for Stevie are both ridiculous titles...based on the lyrics they could have been called "The Message, part I" and "The Message, part II", respectively. Pearl Jam could have gone full Arcade Fire or the Police on these lol.darthvedder81 wrote:There seems to be some consensus that this song is incredible and the title less so.

Re: Waiting For Stevie
I just head a thought, what if all song titles didn’t have anything to do with the lyrics but were tied to the places and circumstances of them being conceived or written?
That would be kind of cool and potentially hilarious.
