Pearl Jam and Gomez

What do you guys think of these bands then? Got two tickets to go and see them at the 02 arena on Tuesday.

It's possible actually that these tickets may be for sale over the weekend if my friend is still ill.

And if LUDD can't make it.

Pearl Jam is inconsistent, but they have some really good songs.

PJ is okay. I'm looking to sell my copy of Yield though, I never listen to it.

is the thread title supposed to end in "are fucking awful", but it got cut off?

i'm confused.

i find Yield to be a really underrated album.

if its vinyl, i might be willing to take it off yer hands.

cd, sorry!

lol

i used to like gomez, then i realized... yeah their drummer COMPLETELY overplays in their live show, he's always doing all sort of ridiculously complicated fills over simple strummer guitar musics, not good at all.

pj, i'd like to go seem 'em once, but that's about it.

Pearl Jam did a rather pleasant collaboration album with Neil Young about 12 years ago called Mirrorball, if i remember correctly. I remember it rocked.

But that was before i got into thrash metal. I'd go with Pearl Jam but Gomez are pretty damn lame. Ever Terrorvision rock harder than those punkoids.

mirrorball was sarah mclachlan. great fuckin album

both great bands.

PJ play here soon in golden gate park about 6 blocks away but the rest of the weekend line upis so piss poor i cant part with the the 90$(one day) 200+(3 day) cost. anyone else going to outsidelands?

i never liked pearl jam, and if i did it was only for the video Jeramey and that cover they did of the last kiss, that is not enough for me to wat to go see them live

not to diss pearl jam or anything but it's really a shame that most people have only heard Nursrat's americanized music. His traditional pakistani stuff is mind blowing, its some of the best music on this earth.

Well I'm definetly going with the girl I was meant to be going with, and my parents arent giving us a lift anymore we are going on our own on the train, there and back and I'm staying at hers afterwards.

I'm a fucking mess right now but she still wants to do it, in fact she suggested it, guess I'm kinda loveable eh, god my ego needs to be restrained in some way, I need to be nasty to someone or something, where is maja.

absolutely agree. although his stuff with michael brook is pretty good

very indebted to peter gabriel's realworld label for exposing me to it enough to prompt me to go seek out the *real* good stuff.

i haven't actually given any nusrat a spin in a while, hmmm. it tends to make me cry for some reason

oh, you're talking about Mirror Ball, two words, I was talking about mirrorball one word.

So it was good then? I was offered a free VIP ticket but turned it down because I wanted to watch the Arsenal match and couldn't be arsed with catching the train afterwards.

that bad eh?

On the subject of Mirrorball, a friend of a friends band were trying to think of a name for themselves. They definitely liked the idea of having "ball" in their name and being a grindcore band they needed something brutal and scary.

Their two favourite names were "Terror Ball" and "Horror Ball"

Seriously. It took someone to tell them what it sounded like out loud to everyone else before they changed their mind.

Totally know what you mean with the train, got stranded in kings cross, ended up having to get all sorts of busses and shit, but you know what, it was fucking worth it, I'm not even a fan of pearl jam, but for my age I've seen a lot of live bands, in excess of 50 I'd say, and I reckon this was one of the best, seriously.

Next up, David Gray (also not a fan, but great live, and he did that track with orbital) Aphex Twin - obviously and UB40.

Oh and possibly Anal Cunt and Mark Reid.
