Stone is both the coolest and uncoolest guy in the band.

Boom brings something to the band, and Crazy Mary has been better since he joined.

I like the idea of Boom, but when there's a part with a slight degree of intricacy (which is to say every other keyboard part aside from the keyboard-smashing free-for-all solo in "Crazy Mary"), he can't do it. He's a klutz, a remarkably unskilled player for someone who does it at a professional level. He's ruined so many songs.numbers wrote:Boom brings something to the band, and Crazy Mary has been better since he joined.

Dave A is overrated and kind of obnoxious on most songs (yet totally awesome on others)
Matt Cameron is an incredible song writer and the best in the band.

I'd rather go to a show and get 16 really well-played, intense songs... instead of a 3 hour 32-song marathon of half-baked singalongs

On that note, my submission is that Pearl Jam shows are way too long.
Even for a band I love, somewhere in the region of 90-120 minutes (at most) is the longest I really want to hear them play live. More ≠ better.
I think the band's set length was ideal in 1998 and 2000.

There are definitely songs he has massacred(RITFW comes to mind,) but I like that he's in the band so they can do things like Crazy Mary.theplatypus wrote:I like the idea of Boom, but when there's a part with a slight degree of intricacy (which is to say every other keyboard part aside from the keyboard-smashing free-for-all solo in "Crazy Mary"), he can't do it.

Crazy Mary was at it's best before it turned into a Boom/McCready wank fest.

Crazy Mary was at its best when it had only been played 3-4 times ever

I didn't want the denver show to end. Nothing was half baked. All the songs were played wonderfully. Out of their minds. Pearl jam, musically As a band, is not as bad as RM makes them out to be.
