The NAIS single with Insignificance and the BSB versions of Footsteps and Betterman is up there, somewhere. As is the 1992 Alive single.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Yeah, I wish the band would do more of these (edit: I guess they sorta did this with Olé). Just release Of The Earth this way, with another song, and shut everyone up about it... don't have to worry about it fitting into an albumHardTI wrote:Ah that's the one that got me into Pearl Jam.

Merkinball might be one of my favorite things the band has released period.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
I think it's classed as a single - it reached #7 on the Hot 100 which, bizzarely, is their second best performing song on that chart after Last Kiss.its_not_1974 wrote:Isn't that an EP, though?southp wrote:wrong.HardTI wrote:Best single the band has ever released.nomorecrackpipes wrote:Given to Fly

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
The problem of using Of The Earth as a B-side is that no one buys physical singles anymore, so using it as bait for people to buy it wouldn't work.
That would be awesome though.

While a Western guitar motif lost on the swings drum bass fusion, get your own thoughts into the subconscious often forgotten. "Pendulum" is a sweeping soul from the ballast.

Not as a b-side, but as a stand-alone 2-3 song EP, like MerkinballDjango Butterworth wrote:The problem of using Of The Earth as a B-side is that no one buys physical singles anymore, so using it as bait for people to buy it wouldn't work.

Re: Lightning Bolt - October 15
Great way to release it for sure.
It certainly takes away the excuse of it not "fitting" on an album.

It's a shame the only other time they've done a non-album single/ep was Last Kiss. And that was basically forced out of them.
