Red Mosquito

I thought his channel was neat at first but it quickly descended into clickbait boomer shite. Lots of "back when they made REAL music"-adjacent takes and general attention seeking behavior.

But I'm glad you guys are enjoying it. I'm sorry I yelled.

Love his channel. One of the first I look for when something new and of note comes out.
Kinda gets grating sometimes when he stops a song every six seconds to comment, but, the way he breaks things down is great.

It is annoying but assuming its how he gets around getting demonetized.

Same. I know who he is. Had no idea he had such an incredible ear and knowledge of music production. This is still a 3 star song for me, but I am appreciating it more because of this analysis.

We’re at the stage in my household where if I say, “hey listen to this..” they immediately reply, “we don’t want to hear the new Pearl Jam song!”

OK but "back when they made REAL music" could be the motto of RM

* of a very minor amount of rmers

just a little jokey joke

this song getting some play during the rangers-islanders game, both in the stadium and on the broadcast going to commercial

100% this, although it's not fool-proof

the low quality of the bridge is bothering me

and the unintelligibleness of the lyrics is an issue

i don't want to have to study them in order to be able to sing along at the live show

and they are so muddled it's hard for me to even make up words that sound like the lyrics (currently about 65% of my pearl jam lyric knowledge)

Justin Hawkins is definitively Gen X. His parents are boomers.

96583UP, I've found that the chorus is actually quite easy to sing along with. The rest of it though has been a bit harder.

Could also be RM motto.

Likening Wotman to Mutt Lange. Oh god. Really hits a nail there.

I can't wait to hear new material no matter the production. Sure it isn't exactly how I would like it but hopefully there'll be passable live performances to satisfy.

And reading those comments.... why do PJ fans always have to swing their dicks regarding fan since and shows attended.

I think it's quite possible that Watt veers more toward arena rock sound (a la Mutt Lange comparison in that video) and that part of his "creative spark" reputation is built on him contributing riff ideas and the like. Is that a concern of mine? Having heard Earthling, the metal door leak in general and this song in particular, not really. I think with more washed up acts, there might be more Watt coming thru in the album, but anyone who's seen Pearl Jam live in the last few years knows that they still have the rock spirit alive and well inside them, and don't need babysitting.

you want to know what my latest working version of the chorus lyrics is?

Redacted

I really need to read the lyrics for this before i get myself into trouble humming this in a public place

these are the correct lyrics

i will read them now

to prevent myself from getting arrested:

It's strange these days
When everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake

This blame takes shape
Still everybody else pays
For someone else's mistake

Seriously. If you’re old enough you’ve been a fan since 91. No one is special.
