It's really obviously Stone with the ponytail.Strat wrote:Thejambi wrote:Stone?Strat wrote:who is this?! i want to know!
No, ed is in the back near the keys, stone is to the right of him (our right), then mike, then some dude with a pony tail, then jeff then MC

Yeah, the legs crossed is a dead give away.Iowaska_Experience wrote:No, that's Stone with his long(ish) hair back in a pony tail. The mystery guy is the dude between Ed and Mike, but I would guess that's BoB.
I would agree with this except the Matt part. He does not do whatever it is that drummers do well.cutuphalfdead wrote:So much this.--- wrote:Honest question: Given what we know about the artwork, the album title, the first single, and the entirety of Pearl Jam's post-2003 output, do you expect this album to feature textured, delicate music that values the songwriting/listening journey and creative process over technical proficiency and individual virtuosity?stip wrote:--- wrote:Now that I've given it a few listens I agree with you. Gone are the days of music that was soulful and could breathe and allowed the listener to absorb the space in a song. No more Present Tenses or Faithfuls or Rivals. Even the claustrophobia of Vitalogy had a kind of menacingly evocative ether than balanced it's aggressiveness. Now everything's compressed, delivered with an entirely unwarranted urgency that subordinates nuance to immediacy. Too bad, really.Kevin Davis wrote:First listen and I'm really disappointed in "Mind Your Manners." This is pretty much exactly the sort of thing I was holding out hope that this album wouldn't be. The bridge sounds like the fucking Offspring.
you may be right in the end, but comparing an under 3 minute punk blast to mid tempo builders like present tense, faithful, or rival doesn't make sense. that's like complaining that STBC didn't have the soulfulness of immortality.
Post-2003 Pearl Jam seems to be about crafting songs that compartmentalize each member's particular strengths (LISTEN TO MIKE SHRED AND ED WAIL AND MATT....DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT DRUMMERS DO WELL) instead of crafting cohesive and coherent music that is more than the sum of its parts. Given the available information, I don't expect that to change. And that's a bummer for me.
That makes way too much senseEJ wrote:Iowaska_Experience wrote:No, that's Stone with his long(ish) hair back in a pony tail. The mystery guy is the dude between Ed and Mike, but I would guess that's BoB.
agreed
I can tell you from experience that you never feel more ridiculous about your passion for music or creation than when taking part in a communal handclap overdub session.E.H. Ruddock wrote:
