Last Exit is PJ's only odd time signature tune that is in 5/4 first of all, and this tune is in 4/4. Anyways, it's definitely not as bad as a rip off that Breakerfall is to I Can See for Miles by Eddie's favorite band.
NIN and PJ are on the same level of talent... INFACT if it comes down to front men... NIN is more innovative with songwriting (though i like eds voice better)... trent doesnt need to rip anything off from PJ
its just a drum beat
this thread is DUMB!
Fucking word!
So what if there is similarity. But what I find more cool is that there are NIN fans here in the jamily. PJ and NIN are my two most favorite bands. You are a special ass person if you love both Pearl Jam and NIN! :cool:
Hail NIN! Hail Pearl Jam!

yay! im special! seriously though, ive only gotten really into NIN in the past year or so and they fill me with a feeling i havent felt since first hearing PJ... its like a healthy, energetic anger
L: But don't you have a responsibility to yourself as a musician, let alone to your fans?
T: Absolutely I do. I'm saying if I did that I'd feel shitty about selling a lot of records. But I've made the records I've wanted to make. And if a lot of people want to buy them, then who am I to say they're not cool enough to buy my records. You're a nerd. You're from Pennsylvania, you can't buy this. I grew up there! I was one of those guys who wasn't cool enough. It's music. If you don't like it, the Pearl Jam record is right there on the shelf. Buy it! It's for people like you.
I laughed my ass off when I read the subject of this thread. Drum beats are so common... AND.... Trent Reznor doesn't need to rip off anyone. He's slightly talented.
Hehe slightly no? I love NIN as much as I love Pearl Jam, and while the percussion is similar at the beginning, (for what, all of 2 bars or so?) the drums are a little more fuzzy than with Last Exit.

we have a winner.
although it sounds similar, it's only a ripoff if you ignore the fact that the two songs are in completely different time signatures. the drum beat for last exit is anything but common.
FYI, sleight of hand is also partially in 5/4.
i wouldn't mind hearing more odd time sigs in the future. matt cameron tears those songs up.
billy corgans hating PJ has never made me hate the smashing pumpkins anymore... its childish enough that ill never obsessively follow SP the way i do PJ... but it shouldnt take away from the music...
and ive never heard of trent hating PJ... i can think of certain songs that might make him hate them... but does anyone have a link that confirms this?
Uh dude...Billy Corgan loves Pearl Jam. In fact, I have an mp3 of the Pumpkins playing the Beatles "I've Got a Feeling" and Eddie Vedder sings with them!!! But I will agree with the fact that just bc one artist doesn't like another artist, that shouldn't affect your opinion on both of them.

thats probably from back when PJ opened for them and RHCP... not at all an indication of billys feelings for PJ... cause he has been pretty open with how much he dislikes them... which he probably got from hanging out with courtney love too much
and to people calling NIN unoriginal... HA... how familiar are you with their music?? more PJ songs sounds similar to me than NIN songs

I saw an interview from '98 where he's said that Pearl Jam was like one of the only bands that's ever intimidated him as a live act, and I know that recently he and Jimmy made comments praising them for their longevity. But anyways...
NIN is completely original whether you like them or not. However, I will say the Slip is their weakest effort. I like the album but all Trent really did for the sound of the album was mesh With Teeth and Year Zero together.
Fucking Dave Abrusuzzeussseuzze is drumming fo NIN now?
No, its the Freesinator (Josh Freese). If you would like to see what I mean, go to NIN.com and watch the rehearsal footage of a song called Letting You.

Yes, I knew that. Dave was the drummer on the PJ recording. I was trying to be as silly as this whole thread is.

Haha I should have known that you knew! If you haven't seen that Freese footage, though, go see it - its way cool. You can barely see the guy's arms they're moving so fast.

Sounds pretty rocking. I don't like NIN but I thought they were mostly prerecorded synth crap under all the guitars, and that just sounds like more of a guitar rock song. Kinda lame as it goes on though.

Yeah, and "Inside Job" sounds like "She's Like the Wind" by Patrick Swayze.
Think about it.
Well, the lyrics are of similar quality.
