They should retire the more challenging songs for him (Blood, Leash etc..) and trim the shows by 30 minutes or so.

It also became redundant with the combinations of either BARY/BARI or BABY/BABI for the second encores.

Definitely wouldn't hurt.


I've read this a few times now and I still don't get it.

let's rank the setlist acronyms

Unfortunately, there is no singer that has taken the torch and moved rock music forward and not sold out by conforming to shitty trends.

Let's rank the I can't get over Dave A being out of the band, even though it's been over 20 years fanbois. Fucking seriously? I enjoy PJ's music so much better minus the obnoxious fan base. That's really what put me off of their music before. Fucking elitists, yo.

pre-Edit meltdown, saved for posterity, yo

It's just tiring to even try with a fan base, for real. It isn't just PJ's. But, hey, there's critic's and experts everywhere.

Enough with the Bruce Springsteen comparisons. He doesn't hold a candle to Eddie....he wouldn't last 30 minutes fronting Pearl Jam. Not even a question. He isn't a hard rock singer and that is why his shitty voice is somewhat preserved. Overrated.

This is great -- the closest RM has ever unironically come to a Donald Trump tweet.

If you want to compare someone in Vedder's class then maybe Cornell but even he wouldn't be able to sing PJ songs after three shows and not get booed off stage. Unfortunately, there is no singer that has taken the torch and moved rock music forward and not sold out by conforming to shitty trends. Until someone with the balls and courage to pave their own path, rock music will remain on life support and PJ will have to continue to carry it forward.

In my defense, my back has been driving me crazy and I tried to delete my outburst. I'm not too proud to admit that I'm full of shit sometimes. It's depressing hearing Ed struggle on some of these shows, though. Maybe I'll buy a coloring book to help me process these feelings?
