Perhaps it’s time to just scrap the drums altogether! How’s the drum sound you ask… oh there aren’t any drums…Ms Harmless wrote:RockPusher wrote:Yeah, I'm kind of tired of drum intros. Pearl Jam uses a lot of them.Leatherhead wrote:Somebody said the drum intro is the worst part. I think I agree.

Exactly... Jorge gets it. Geez, everyone else... too sophisticated for ya, eh?Jorge wrote:Huh. I didn't read it that way.

Back to the Foo Fighters.
It’s probably been mentioned but they are only who they are because of Nirvana. You have to factor that in.
Pearl Jam wasn’t immediately supported by this massive existing Mother Love Bone fan base all over the world.

There was obviously some pre-existing industry support for MLB given their tragedy, but, nothing akin to the outpouring of public support Dave had. There was plenty of skepticism, too. The drummer a guitar player and a frontman? OK, sure. Every drummer is a failed frontman, after all, right? LOL. To be fair, he still needed to have the goods when his time came.

I wonder how often the phrase "rose from the ashes" was applied to the Foos/Nirvana

All the headlines pre-written for the journos...Same as MLB, but on a much wider scaleJorge wrote:I wonder how often the phrase "rose from the ashes" was applied to the Foos/Nirvana

Did you notice how PJ and Foo Fighters are never in the same place at the same time? Clever management.

A lot of it was pj's own narrative. They leaned into it pretty hard. Shit, Green River is more relevant than MLB.

I like the layers to DM.
Ed's approach is fitting for the type of song it is. Put him foremost in the mix when it's more of a ballad, but set back when it's all a build up to a Mike Facemelt-o-rama©.
Like I mentioned, the radio had it more evenly set up than what I heard on Spotify™ & YouTube™.

Difference is, the MLB story had the "shoulda coulda woulda,...on the cusp" angle to it...Very similar to the myth that propelled the 'Mats cult status after their demise. If ONLY they hadn't botched SNL...If only, if only...BurtReynolds wrote:A lot of it was pj's own narrative. They leaned into it pretty hard. Shit, Green River is more relevant than MLB.
Never bought that about the 'Mats, much as I adore 'em, but, it was a similar form of reflexive journalism that cultivated the narrative .
