I was just kidding but it pissed me off to see stone and ed say as much in Pj20.
It's like they're still living in the shadow of that band despite them surviving and still playing where he was a chicken shit cop out

That recording in montage of heck, kurt talking about having sex with the autistic girl when he was a kid? Can't even deal with that guy anymore. He was a kid too but the outcome of his telling of it was that he was unhappy he didn't know what to do. Not that he was ashamed that he did it.

I've never seen Montage of Heck, everything about it is deeply unappealing, but I think it's important to take anything Kurt ever said on record with a gigantic grain of salt. He was a serious bullshitter.dimejinky99 wrote:That recording in montage of heck, kurt talking about having sex with the autistic girl when he was a kid? Can't even deal with that guy anymore.

I love Pearl Jam but they could make twenty more records as good as No Code and they'll never be as good a band as Nirvana to me.

Just kidding. Though, would you enjoy that same type of dirt documentary on pearl jam? I feel like since you dont like pearl jam as much and you also are more apt to mock vedder for his shortcomings ?

You should watch it. It is disturbing. Especially the recorded stuff him talking and being interviewed. This wasn't bullshit. He's explaining something that happened in order to explain another point.
I don't compare them. Two utterly different bands doing utterly different things musically. I just enjoy pearl jam where I don't enjoy nirvana in any way at all.

I'd definitely read an interview where they were really open about the drummer stuff but who knows if they've ever really given it much thought themselves, I don't know if they'd have much to say that they haven't already. It's not difficult to understand why each drummer left/got fired and why they prefer playing with Matt.

FTR: I don't give a shit what Kurt did or didnt do or what kind of attitude he had. It all comes down to the music and i loved Nirvanas music as well. Just a different type of love.

Outside of Ed, there really isn't anything interesting about the other band members.

Pearl Jam was a better band when they were worried about what their peers thought of them. It's when they let that shit go that they turned into the mess they are today. Springsteen-lite.

Re: A (Lengthy) Audio History/Analysis of this Stupid Band
I would say it has just as much (if not more) to do with them a) getting older and b) being in the same band with the same bros for 25 years.
At the 25 year mark, the Stones put out Steel Wheels, which is pretty comparable to Lightning Bolt. I don't think their biggest problem was that the Beatles weren't around to push them anymore.
