... Isn't that how most bands do it?

:lol: That was my first thought too.

I also love the part where Mike talks about how they do a tour, usually over two different legs, going from town to town via airplane in different sections of America and playing a show for 2-3 hours in each city's concert venue, and finally saying "good night" to the audience after the last song. Brilliant.

:lol: I love how they talk about when they greet fans they say "hi" and then after visiting with them but before leaving they say "goodbye". :shock: These guys are fucking genius.

I like how they punch a time clock simulating how us regular, egg buying, live our lives.

Love how Ed will type out a series of words on paper and then sing those words into the air while someone records them and, get this, the band plays their instruments simultaneously. Brilliant.

Every song has to start somewhere, but there aren't a lot of bands that have Stone do this for them. In the 2010s hardly even Pearl Jam. However, Black, Alive and certainly most of Ten and Vs started out with a Stone riff.

I think Jerry Cantrell was the best guitarist.

Billy Corgan was massive though and I think highly under appreciated because he comes across as such a douchebag. Billy could just get this monster tone that would knock you on your ass.

Surely you can channel your positive feelings for Pearl Jam at the time, without focusing on all the other stuff in your life you didn’t like?
