why all the hate for "last kiss"?

neilybabes86

its just one of the million cover songs they do


is it because of the success?

is it because the song sucks?


another thought i had this morning

DeLukin

I don't HATE it, just don't love it. For me, that spot on the set list could be filled with something I'd rather hear. Besides, the story goes that radio stations in Philly started the grassroots effort that eventually ended up making it such a radio hit for the band, so EVERY TIME they come to Philly they play it - not that I'm complaining, just saying there are better alternatives, IMO.

their we go ...an honest answer/opinion

I can't stand this song(original or cover). Or as I prefer to put it...this dirge. Awful, tiresome, unimaginative, boring....om my god how boring!

That's my opinion.

I'm sure I enjoy songs others can't stand. It's all a matter of taste and for me this does not taste good.

As for the poster who says folks sing along...glad they like it. Each to one's own. I personally feel incredibly luck that I've seen the band 8 times and have never has to put up with it. Sadly the law of averages says I'll have to hear it sometime. Or maybe I'll stay lucky!

Did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed? If someones posts makes you that angry, maybe you should step away from the board for a bit.

I'm not trying to start a fight...... just saying.

Hence the "no Even Flow" banners at shows and the endless rants about how Even Flow is the song during which everyone should go out and take a leak / buy a beer? No, I don't think the "hardcore" fans love Even Flow. Problem is probably that when you've been to 350 shows you become picky about which songs you wanna hear and don't pick the "mainstream" or successful ones. :roll: So yeah, it's probably the same with Last Kiss - it's too popular and thus uncool.

Not a good concert song IMO . . . . but basically, the song isn't that good (anymore). I liked it when it first came out, but the tune and melody itself has worn on me . . . .

"why all the hate for "last kiss"?"


Because Last Kiss was a hit and the great majority of the board members are terribly snobbish here
:twisted:

UNLESS you're sitting behind the stage

Grandmas Jam

I am the offical president of HOLK (Haters of Last Kiss). The song sucked in the 50s and it still sucks now.

demetrios

It's a sad loving song. Yes, it get's played over & over & over! But you gotta understand it's a very poppy tune & something radio dj's love to play on air. It's short, not too long, a hit & an emotional tune.

I also think it's nice when there's seats of fan backstage @ a show that they get their personal tune AKA Last Kiss played infront of them. Cause the rest of the whole show they just get to see their bum's.

megatron

might have been the first pearl jam song i ever got burned to a mix cd way back in ohh..99 i believe. still like it. never heard it live so i'm sure i'd like it

Damn! Thought I was.

I have always liked Last Kiss. I'm sure I've said it before, but the song came out right before I graduated high school in 1999 and was in heavy rotation during my Senior Week at Myrtle Beach. I couldn't wait to go out and buy the single when it came out the next week. I'd always liked Pearl Jam but Last Kiss was the song that made me start buying their albums. Later that summer I went to the record store and picked up Live On Two Legs and I was blown away.

Sure, Last Kiss brought a lot of new fans to shows who only wanted to hear the hits. Last Kiss also got me hooked an I'm sure there are many more like me that became lifelong fans because of it. Last Kiss will always hold a special place in my heart for opening my ears and bringing me to the realization that Pearl Jam is the greatest band of my generation.

High Fidelity 2000

I loved it when it came out on the Christmas single with Soldier of Love. I thought it was kind of Pearl Jam having a sense of humor, redoing these 2 oldie songs. Then it got huge. I still don't mind when it pops up on the ipod on shuffle for example, but when they play it live, it's kind of a buzzkill. You only get 25 or 30 songs, and if one is Last Kiss... kind of a waste of 1 song. And kind of cheesy. Plus I feel bad for Matt cause the drums are boring as hell.

jamburger

Because Solider of Love is a much better cover that got left by the wayside when Last Kiss took off.

hdogg151

Because its cheesy as hell and only has 4 chords!!

I actually feel bad for Stone when I hear it played life, b/c its gotta be so damn boring to play!

Chrisilein

I don't love this song but i have no problem to hear it in June or July! Just take a look how great it was in Portugal 2006! Eddie standing on a small platform in the middle of the crowd and 20000+ singing the whole song together!

Berlin would be a great venue for Last Kiss!
