Come on, it can't be that hard. Stip does all those tournaments. No way he'd do those if he had to create all those threads manually, is there?
Yes he does. He created them ahead of time in the mod forum then moved them at the appropriate time. God the mod forum sucked when he did that
It's put those tournaments together or finish the Lightning Bolt tour. I know no one cares about the latter. Someone might enjoy the former.

Listen to this song at 0.75 playback speed and tell me that's not a top 5 pearl jam song.

Regular speed, we're talking top 30

.75 sounds just a bit too slow. I’d like to hear it somewhere around .85

This song has some okay elements but as a whole I've always felt it was repetitive screechy garbage.

Not a lot of screeching in this song. You must be thinking of "Comatose"

This song was literally written by Dustin Diamond.

Have you tried listening to it at 0.75 playback speed?

On your suggestion, I did. It definitely made it more interesting in some ways- but the repetition in the latter third of the song still grates on me tremendously.

At 0.75 playback, the lick Mike plays during the intro sounds identical to the one he plays during the intro to “Gonna See My Friend.” Not a fan of this experiment. I like the thrashier version.
