    the only part that bothers me is people not knowing it's a cover.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    yeah, it was a joke - i don't really care if it's betterman or better man, the point was that the guy whining about it was too anal. was that you? you seem like you're more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

    My brother-in-law went to see them (Sugarland) when they came to town, and I mentioned to him that they covered Betterman, and his response made me want to shove a sharp pencil in each ear.

    "That's a Pearl Jam song? I love that song."

    Too bad he fell in love with it because some cute, countrified girl was singing it.

    i hate bands that take songs and cover it and pass it off like they wrote the damn thing...

    that's why i hate most rap and hip hop artists. like Sean Kingston for instance, he rips off the main riff of a song and acts like he wrote it. the worst one by far is Me Love which is a rip on Led Zep's D'yer Mak'er (i can never spell that right, nor pronounce it) where he sings the whole "oh oh oh oh oh ooohhh why did you have to go" but then he adds "me love" at the end. i sickens me cause he thinks he can pull that shit off and get away with saying it's his own music

    Turnabout is fair play, seeing as LZ ripped off numerous artists.

    For your information, I am female.

    Better Man is my favourite song and the spacing of the two words is just a little niggle of mine. I can laugh about it and I did.

    There is no need for you to be so rude, crass and childish.
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
  • Some of you people just amaze me..your so narrow minded its pathetic. Take a step back for a second, pearl jam covers a ton of songs, do you think the fans of every band pearl jam covers, likes the pearl jam cover of that particular bands song??? Then we have one guy in this thread calling this cover of betterman the "hillbilly version" .. really? are you kidding me? are you a bigot?

    One thing I like about going to pearl jam shows, is meeting the other fans, most pearl jam fans seem smart and open minded when talking to them.. obviously this thread isnt a representation of all pearl jam fans, but it just goes to show, theres always a few rotten apples in the tree.

    Anyway, I personally think Sugarland did a really good job of covering betterman, I like it alot..and I think Sugarland is a talented band with a great singer..I wish more bands covered pearl jam songs, like the song or not, I, personally, think its nice to hear my favorite band get covered and respected like that.

    Sliite: So basically, b/c people on this board don't hop on to your Sugarland bandwagon and enjoy this horrible cover of an epic PJ song, THEY'RE close minded???!!! Why not let them express their opinion?? And the guy that called it the 'hillbilly' version is a "bigot"?? That sounds extremely close-minded, to the point of name calling..Hey, you're entitled to your opinion--even if it shows you have no taste in music (except your love of PJ)..Was that closed-minded?
