well stone gossard was born in '66. so assuming he didn't have a kid until he was 18 or so, that would put his descendent at 20 yrs old. let's just call it nineteens then?

Woah, how about some paragraphs, chief? Take a deep breath. Relax.

BTW, "lethargic" means tired or slow-moving, not stupid or unobservant.

This made me laugh, but the "chief" bomb was unnecessary. It's got all the rhetorical bullying power of a junior high gym teacher, and, unless my prose senses do me wrong, "Stone Descendant" can't be much older than 16.

Naw, chief, that's just the way I talk. Chief, dude, cuz, mi amigo; we're all one happy family here.

16 year-olds have internet access? Good lord. Next thing you know, theyll be letting them drive.

There is something very fucked up and disturbing about this image. While at first this made me laugh, that initial giggle quickly went down a dark path to disturbance. There is something that is flat out uncorrect about this. I don't like this and I'm now afraid, confused, and disturbed.

it's the combo of the mohawk and the ramones t-shirt

they do not really go together, a 'hawk and the ramones

the ramones weren't a mohawk kinda band

you would only have that combo going on if you were playin' at bein' super punk and wanted get all yr various punk yayas out at once

plus does he still have a soul patch? i can't tell, but it seems to me he may have a soul patch still. which compounds the error.

And fuckin' Hendrix, Man! They were like FROM Seattle!
And that song, "Why Go Home?" I mean, really, Why Go HOME?

Capital Crap.

And fuck the ticketmaster street cred. They're back on the TM.

Pearl Jam is important.

They freed tibet

Their "Leader" started punk

They got Nader Elected as president

And they defeated Ticketmaster in 1995

What has Clapton done?

Well I guess painting a Mona Lisa on the side of a Volkswagen is pretty important, too.

Kerble's been throwing down the .gif gauntlet a lot lately.

NOT CRAP because they helped to define bad music for me.

I've seen them 4 (!) times, one of which was among the better shows I've witnessed (in Katowice, Poland no less, w/ Dismemberment Plan). While Ten is pretty bad, they've had moments off each album since. Jumped boat right around the time they put out that "oh where, oh where could my baby be?' song. Which wasn't theirs, but just as well. NC, heavy waffles.

"Jack Lord took her away from me-e-e-e..." Oh wait, that's another thread.

This may be the name of my next project. Thanks!

Ten is an awful record. If Nirvana had not opened up the floodgates the way they did, and this record came out "on its own" and not with the radio/MTV promotion pump already primed for "grunge" bands from the northwest, the record and the band would have had a very different existence.
I don't think anything they did after Ten was nearly as bad. They've had a few tunes that I don't mind hearing. But even at their absolute best, they just strike me as a bunch of "rock professionals" who toil away at their craft, occasionally producing things that you can recognize as solid rock songs, but generally doing nothing more than stale approximations of bands they like. In the main, they are a bore.
I will never forget sitting in a classroom, waiting for the professor to get on with his lecture, and listening to a dude in front of me going on about how much he loved Pearl Jam, because "Eddie has so much soul," and nobody else has that much passion.
I'll take the post-punk revivalists of the present day over the turgid shit-rock of the mid 90s anytime. Yeah, the Killers are bad. Can anyone honestly tell me that they're worse than Candlebox?
