Red Mosquito

Orphaned Land recorded a cover of Pearl Jam's classic "Jeremy" in their effort to persuade them to perform live in Israel. Israeli rock radio producer Ben Red started a 'campaign' on Facebook, on January 1st 2013.
Orphaned Land's frontman Kobi Farhi commented:
"For some reason Pearl Jam have never played in Israel, though they have a huge fan base here. Since the 90′s I have been a diehard fan of them and the the whole grunge scene. [...] As a musician I know that I wish to go and play for my fans wherever they are. As an Israeli it’s almost impossible for me to go and play for my Arab fans in the Arab world, but Pearl Jam can easily come here. There is no doubt they will sell out the biggest stadium here! Metallica has been here three times already, so why can’t we have one concert from Pearl Jam?" and he added about the cover "We as fans, and me considering myself to be a twin wannabe of Eddie Vedder, thought we could contribute our help by recording a cover of one of the band’s classic songs. Making a cover is always scary. It’s as if you are dealing with something holy, but we tried to make the song with the Oriental touch and atmosphere of Orphaned Land’s songs. I hope we succeeded!"

We can probably guess why.

They're obviously anti-Semitic.

You know they kept releasing albums after Ten, right?

That can't be true. I saw that PJ20 movie. If there were more albums, certainly they would have been mentioned in the film.

Off-the-scale internetting, sir!

Doesn't chud also consider himself a twin wannabe of Eddie Vedder?

I'm pretty sure Jeff is a holocaust denier.

Ok I thought that was awesome. All of the Bring PJ to Israel covers are well done.

It was okay until he started singing the Pearl Jam song.

That whole "Bring PJ to Isreal" campaign doesn't mean shit until they cover "Let the Records Play." -- Eddie Vedder

not sure if your serious, but I actually agree. Weird song to cover anyway.

What does Sean Penn think of Israel? That's probably the guy you need to be petitioning...

As long as the Palestinians are persecuted by your race of highly intelligent war mongering people, Pearl Jam shall never play in Israel. FERSHTAY?

Oh dear.

Well this thread has gone about as well as can be expected.

Maybe PJ can play for the Israeli people who don't support the persecution of Palestinians.

Where's Matty?

I'm actually kind of surprised this is part of the RM mockery cannon.

Am I missing something? Sure, the covers are ....well...something.... But geezes the effort is unparalleled.

That singer is quite the turn off. It was kinda interesting until greasy, angsty, cliched 90's grunge singer guy started.
