This song was about what Josh Klinghoffer did, right?

Sorry, that was a joke. I'm aware. Because I post on a BBS board with Spenno, so how could I not be?

I'm probably the only one interested in this but I noticed that Wreckage got its own page on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wreckage_(Pearl_Jam_song)

The interesting thing is you can see at the top that one of their "editors" (probably Trag) nominated it for deletion. That triggered a little formal process and debate with the person who requested the deletion in their editorial notes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... _Jam_song)

It's just kind've funny to see how seriously those guys take that stuff and the responses to the guy that seemingly went rogue in requesting the deletion.

He thought the outro was 45 seconds too long. j/k :)

It is pretty funny to read how nerdy they are about this. It doesn't seem like he really had any valid reason. There's probably some ulterior motive, which one of the commenters alludes too.

Our dude Sergecross73 was not pleased with how this guy was upholding his Wikipedia oath of honor.

This is the one I start with. And actually, I feel like I’m coming around to the idea that this is a top 10 PJ song all time. It’s….perfect.

Both this and Setting Sun have intense, "Oh shit, here we go" moments that just send them soaring. Setting Sun's still hits me a bit harder, but the gap has narrowed over the past few months.

Dammit, I so feel that Yellow Moon could have been one of these songs if the Andrew Watt production approach had been utilized. Instead we got the Bryan Adams side of Pearl Jam.
