Hey, maybe I should know about this being a fan for 19 years.....but I dont, so please help out..

I just bought some CD singles on ebay, one of them is Immortality where the "B side" is an acoustic version of Rearviewmirror by "the Frogs"........who are they and why are they on a PJ single?

Another thing, it says the song is taken from - the Epic album "Life" -

Please help a fellow out with these questions :?

Peace

    Their keyboard player played with Smashing Pumpkins for a while after theirs passed away. I never really got into their music.

    Any idea how they ended up on a PJ record?

    I believe Eddie is good friends with the Frogs.. they're from Milwaukee, I believe. I have another boot with Eddie doing 2 or 3 songs with them live.

    The frogs opened for PJ back in the 90's at some point. Kind of a goofy band, but entertaining none the less. I like that version of RVM they did. However, the best thing they did (imo) was 'The Longing Goes Away'. Here's a clip of Ed singing it with them.

    The first half is Ed's entrance :)

    Oh really? Then explain to me why the label says "The Frogs" and not "Pearl Jam".
