Mmm, I like it. Not very PJ style maybe, with the crowd and the crowd noises (those I really don't like).

Overall, it's just them playing, only this time with a bunch of video effects and jumping crowd.
The song rocks, IMHO , and that's the most important thing!

It's like the Alive video without the realism

the crowds back in the Alive days were a lot better than nowadays.

we are all getting older
I think the crowd is getting more U2 like. I can't understand when I read post where people are crying about to raw crowds. It's a Rock band ! And even if I'm an adult, a father and a responsable person I must say Mosh pits are fun ! I don't like the people who are at a gig like they were at Le Louvres !

That's because your not American. We can't compartmentalize and we don't like it when others can :(

yeah its getting bad. Soon, i fully expect threads complaining that PJ shows are too loud or that they should institute a dress code or some other nonrock'n'roll nonsense.

its really enough to make me avoid many 10clubbers.

That's really sad !
My Friends and I we all have works with a lot of responsabilty, some of us have familly, etc but if we know where which behaviour is adapted so we have much fun at concerts. That's normal here

Well...




I'm not a fan of "The Fixer" but I liked the sound in the video better than the track on the radio. Def. had a lot more punch to it.

Oh, but the video was a little on the lame side.

Def. something I could see Fall Out Boy or The Jonas Brothers doing. While not horrible, definitely not good!

lets see...

option one: young, attractive, excited crowd jumping and cheering.

option two: 30something crowd of bored onlookers waiting for a rare b-side who take pee breaks during Even Flow and complain of crowd surfing and GA audiences.

How about NO CROWD?

nah. i've had enough of that. Pearl Jam is a great live band. this song wouldn't work at all with that either.

Nothing's ever going to work with this song because it sucks.

Alright, alright, that's not the way I should word it. First off, more power to anyone and everyone who likes The Fixer. Good for you. And I really mean that because it's great when a new song comes along that you really like...be it by Pearl Jam, another band you really like, or someone you never listen to. But I just think this song is fucking horrible.....

Not just horrible, but really one of the gayest and most annoying songs I've ever heard. And I don't say that because I expect every new Pearl Jam song to blow my mind and I'm pissed because this didn't....hell I really like Got Some, Supersonic, and Speed of Sound a lot. If any artist recorded The Fixer, I'd hate it. It's just unbelievably bad, cheesy and POPPY. Yes people, "poppy" is bad when you're a hard rock band. "Catchy" is great. Corduroy is a perfect example of a "catchy" hard rock song. But The Fixer is true cheeseball pop. I would never play this song for someone and say "This is Pearl Jam" because they'd think I'm a dude who listens to crappy, generic rock music. The Fixer is like Third Eye Blind-level lame.

And I want to note that I've listened to The Fixer twice as wrote this just to make sure I should really submit such a hater-like post. And I've decided....YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!


Yet for some reason I think it'll be tolerable live.

i have a feeling this song will not age well...i heard it the other day and was already kinda bored of it

thankfully, it sounds like the rest of the album is amazing so it won't bother me if the fixer is the lame song

Yeah I totally agree. I've really liked everything else I've heard....and look forward to hearing the studio version of Supersonic on Monday.

i agree totally, but for some reason the vid bothers me less than the song. the song itself is a little better too (a little rawer and no fade!). it will be fine live (without the poppy production values), but every PJ song is fine live. I just dont see how the video is so Un-Pearl Jam to people. i guess its the camera angles and the Jesus Christ pose, which he does all the time!

I know I know I know. I really just couldn't put in a more proper way. Perhaps since this is public forum, I should have said "It's the fruitiest song I've ever heard" to avoid using words like that. But I was shootin' brother! Ya dig? Tryin' to keep it real. I know if you, mfc2006, were sitting in my living room with me the day The Fixer was released, I would have turned to you and said "this is the gayest bullshit I've ever heard in my fucking life." Then I'd pass ya the bowl.

Lyrically, I do think I will grow tired. But musically, at least to play on my guitar at home, I will not. I have a ton of fun playing this song. I can't get the verse riff out of my head and when I pick up the guitar, it's the first thing I play to warm up the fingers. It reminds me of my affinity for RVM. When that came out I would play that riff to warm up.

I really hope that one day I'll get the chance to see PJ live in South-America because the crowd over there looks really fantastic ! It's filled with such an power, devotion, they seem to be gratefull to be a part of a fantastic gig !!!

oh i think it's a fun song and i love that the guys did it and i do reserve all of my comments until i've heard the album...i like to judge songs in the context of the album instead of hearing on the radio at a random time

but as has been said, it should be pretty kickass live

I agree that the song does sound better in that video. I'd rip it to an mp3 if there wasn't that "crowd noise."

Again, using "gay" or "fruity" when meaning gay is bigoted and not appropriate here. Do not do this again.
