"Sirens" Single + Video

Savage Tongue

The thing that bums me out is that Sirens being played during any shows I see will take away a song or two that could have otherwise been played and in my opinion ANY other PJ song is better. Hell, I'd rather hear a 6 minute story from Ed about getting poison ivy on his taint on some Hawaiian excursion

P.S. I don't need/want a piss break song.

There are just as many people on these boards that tell the people who dislike the song that they are wrong as vice/versa.

Hell I'll go far as to say the majority of people who adore this song get overly defensive about any criticism floated towards this song.

well ... those people would be wrong as well ...

i think if you read this thread ... people in general are open to criticisms and opinions on the song ... it's when you start telling people that they are delusional to like the song where it gets carried away ...

This! Emphasis added.

why does it have to be so gosh darn long? it could have easily been cut in half. ed needed to go back in the studio after everyone went home and roughed up the edges or something.
and that video....yikes. how unflattering, the lighting makes ed look like he has alcoholic nose. :oops:

but at least ed's voice sounds good.

With all due respect, this is plainly insulting or an ill attempt of humor.

dimitrispearljam,

You are obviously a huge fan of the band. People absolutely love you on here. ...the ever-growing set of positive vibes you try to put out

it's called an agenda

And this is plainly attacking a board member. Saying that Dimitris have an agenda, makes me think you never met the guy. He is sincere and a huge fan - more of Mike than PJ, me sometimes think - who only expresses his enthousiasm. Why this personal assault?

We can do better than this right and have some mature debate where all opinions - likes or dislikes - are on equal footing?No one is delusional. Some may be overexcited. Others may feel let down. Maybe it had to do with the hype, personal expectations or a personal click - that special something that you can't capture. Maybe we should reflect our motives before we throw it out there as "absolute truths". But attacking board members or implying Ed is an alcoholic is really taking it to the extreme. To me this is the best video they made since, lets say, DTE - but that is just my opinion.

Just gave it my third listen and this really is a great song. Good for PJ for continuing to show their talent and creating something that is completely different than most of any material they have ever came out with.

And you just know they are holding on until the release for the more experimental and rocking tunes to appease the die hards.

I really do think we're in store for a very diverse, great album.

To quote Jeff once again from PJ Twenty - "We always wanted to be a chameleon type of band, like a Zeppelin or Pink Floyd and not one distinct sound."

Like I said, more a Mike's fan than a PJ fan, I think . I wonder what would happen if he would meet Mike in real life. I think he will stunned . I think he will be paralyzed for days... And I love that kind of admiration.

I know that I hid in a bookstore when I saw Jeff walking towards me in Prague. I was scared shitless.

Well, I think you said more than that and I personally thought it was uncalled for. What in the hell does an "alcoholic nose" imply? Doesn't sound like a compliment and implies certainly more than: "this was not flattering".

He will enjoy the drink though. And after a few drinks, we all understand Greek. At least I do. Or think I do. Counting the blank stares.

I am going to eat Greek food tonight.

I find this whole "piss break song" thing odd...I've never found the choice of pissing being more important to me than enjoying any song live, if I need a piss then it can be during anything - if you gotta go you gotta go. Can't think of anything worse than having a plan during a concert of when to empty my bladder.

These last few days have been some strange ones, even by Ten Club standards.

I didn't read your comment like that at all.
I think Ed looks ten years older than he normally does in the Sirens vid. I dunno, maybe he liked it like that because the song is about him dying? :P

Pissing breaks can be annoying though. I was taking a piss break during Amsterdam 2 - my blatter was exploding - and what do I hear, far away in the toilet? Release in the first encore :fp: . Terrible experience.

Ha, I spent that part of the encore trying to figure out how to get tokens to buy a sandwich. I only succeeded at missing most of Release.

But, most people when they go to the bathroom don't get to hear Pearl Jam playing Release. A rare experience you should be grateful for.

That is the way to look at it. At that moment I was thinking WTF? Am I hearing this correctly?
