I wouldn't have complained if Jeremy had been released on Lost Dogs

I just think a good chunk of ten would have sounded better with Dave A and that VS raw production.

Ten truly was the bridge between the GnR world and the grunge world.

Jeremy is a great song and works well on Ten.

I always thought GNR was the bridge between 80's pop metal/rock to Grunge. at least in the public eye. MCP yelled at me once for that though.

Never really been a fan of Jeremy - the version on Ten Redux is alright though

It's all about the 92 VMAs.

Jeremy is a fantastic song. That performance though...man alive.

With every year and probably every listen of Ten I realise that it was closer in sound to the metal/rock that preceeded than with the groups PJ were grouped with. Of course they themselves were aware of that and it lead to Vs, with it's lean and stripped sound.

I can't wrap my head around this.

Everything PJ does is without blame, flaw, or second guessing. Don't you know that already?

There's the huge arena rock sound, but there's a dark anger to it that you didn't always find. There's a soulful, searching quality to it that wasn't necessary present in the other grunge bands (excepting the pumpkins), but that was hardly coming out of arena rock/metal either.

Tough for me, Ten was a game changer. Begins great and ends perfectly, with a ton of greatness in between.


as far as Jeremy, that one still resides near the very top for me personally, for alot of reasons. Just a great, great tune...and that 92 VMA performance is absolutely epic.

So the rule here is - songs on TEN that would fit on other albums? Let's see , within that restrictive context-

Oceans- I would love to hear Jack Irons give this a subtle, earthy take in a studio. Would give it a whole other ambience. Put it on Yield with Jack

Release - I always loved what Dave A did with this live, and it's such an inward looking and intimate song lyrically, so put this on Vitalogy

Porch - this should be a Vs tune definitely. Dave A, and put the little tempo change in the jam that he did live, recreate that in the studio and make the song another 60 seconds longer with the Vs studio cut

or other songs that would have sounded good recorded during the Ten sessions

This should be a single thread for all right song/wrong album ideas, instead of a series.

Don't worry, Pete, you'll still remember all the good ideas for other albums later.

In Hiding is the only one I can think of... I generally don't like the Ten recordings...

Yeah.

Stip dips his magnificent toe back in the water and y'all try and scare him off. It's disgusting.

it wouldn't feel like home, otherwise
