I don't know :crazy: .....I'm just sick of all the PJ/DMB talk. Yes, It is fun to speculate about who, what , when, etc..., but the bottom line is that Pearl Jam will be there and we all should be there as well no matter what. Happy PJ20! :D

    Give me Spin Doctors over DMB. Apparently Spin Doctors have tweeted "Do you want to see us play with Pearl Jam or Soul Asylum?"

    Sorry, but I think that would be pretty awesome. :)

    Spin Doctors were one of the great 90s jam bands who got a bad rap because they had one annoying super overplayed song. Then their albums got shittier, and they lost their guitarist who was the main brains behind the music... but last I heard he came back. I would totally see Spin Doctors if they played with PJ. :)

    Saw the Spin Doctors live maybe 7 years ago - great show. Saw Chris Barron solo - very good show. Hate DMB.

    Had a chance to interview Barron in late 2009 at a benefit show he did and these were the first two topics and answers:

    "SI: When you first came up in 1991 you were kind of going
    against that whole Seattle thing.
    CB: I guess in a sense we were. In the sense we were
    against them was because we were on the same label as
    Pearl Jam and they were getting all the love from the label.
    We would pull into a town and it would be like Pearl Jam record,
    Pearl Jam gig, full page
    ad, gah, gah, gah. And there
    would be nothing about our
    record, our gig, so we kind of
    hated Pearl Jam.
    But I liked that music,
    ya know. I loved nirvana. I
    thought nirvana was really
    cool. Until nirvana came
    along the music in the mainstream
    was a little cheesy. It
    was cheesy like boyz II men
    and boy groups. It was pretty
    corny. And then on the harder
    side you had the hair bands
    like ratt and Poison, which
    I hated at the time, but now
    kind of love.

    SI: They were starting
    to fade out at that point,
    though.
    CB: I think grunge came
    along and it was a little
    more real. In retrospect now
    what’s great about the hair
    bands is the swagger and
    the posing and the hairspray
    and how artifi cial it was. At
    that time it was over, sort of.
    People wanted something a
    little more real, a little more
    fl annel. I really feel like Nirvana
    opened up the door for
    a lot of people, including us.
    I didn’t feel like we were
    against them as much as we
    sort of kind of owed them."

    He was a very cool guy. I think we talked for 45 minutes.
