I would find it very strange if the lack of play has anything to do with political reasons. That's not like the band.
yes exactly, that is why I am trying to figure out why it never gets played anymore, because I know why the song was written, and all those reasons then are more so now, so play the song if nothing else make a statement about the need to make love not war
Aside from a few tracks like Thin Air, Binaural was a pretty dark album.
Maybe they're just trying to dig on lighter times as they can?
Hell, I am.
so we don't acknowledge all the people still getting killed and their lives destroyed?
Whoa Nelly!
What? That was pretty big road to try and cross - not even close to my comments here.
Pearl Jam has a legacy of standing up for what is right, life is not a bed of roses, I guess I could make believe and pretend, if that will make everyone else more comfortable

They did cancel the NC show. Too far in the past to see?
Sorry, just not getting you right now. Pretending and making believe?

Alright.
we are talking about people losing their lives, their families, their homes and their countries and the United States is largely responsible sorry if you can't comprehend what has been happening Libya Syria Iraq My belief is that silence and not saying anything is the same as endorsing it morally, you just don't have to catch any flack that way so that is the easy path
All in all,... it's no one's fault... Excuses turn to carbon walls... Blame it all on chemical intercourse.
The swallowed seeds of arrogance... Breeding in the thoughts of ten... Thousand fools that fight Irreverance.
The full moon is dead skin... The one down here's wearing thin... So set up... the ten pins. As the human tide rolls in... Like a ball that's spinning.
Bombs,... dropping down,... Please forgive,..our hometown... In our insignificance
Turn the jukebox up, he said... Dancing in irreverence... Play C-3,... let the song protest.
The plates began to shift... Perfect lefts come rolling in... I was alone,... and far away, hey.. When I heard the band start playin' On the lip...late take off

Same here.
It's amazing live, i was lucky enough to see it in 2013, and Eddie made it very political with no hesitation.
nice, I must have missed that boot, but you are right it is amazing, so just play the song, already, not played since 2014 is a tragedy, that is 32 shows in a row (excluding Bridge School shows & Oracle corporate event)
Got thrown in the same pile with all the other insignificant filler tracks that overstayed their welcome during the album's tour and the couple of tours following it.

filler tracks? obviously much different tastes in music, that sounds like a standard canned response, according to your logic, they view the whole Binaural album as filler tracks, that's beyond dumb

It's a good song and even though for me it's a middle-of-the-road Pearl Jam song musically (which means it's good anyway!) the words to Insignificant are significant and relevant and for that alone it makes darned good sense to hear it more often.
It's late- gotta keep the house quiet- but tomorrow, we rock Insignificance , Hank!
Great thread, great timing, BBH.

yeah that's just convenient, lets put it out of sight, so it's out of mind, I am use to that attitude living in America, typical and I expected at least one of these responses, and actually since it relates directly to a song and why it is not played
You seemed to be using the song request as a jumping off point for a political discussion. That seems better suited to AMT.

Hank... You seem to be really argumentative with people in this thread. Which kind of follows the pattern of your visits here. You start off mellow, then start a bunch of threads where you get frustrated with people and then you post that you're done with the boards for good. Why not ease off the accelerator a little and pace yourself here. Stick around awhile and enjoy this place.

whatever dude, name me one song on Binaural that gets played regularly anymore?
I would find it very strange if the lack of play has anything to do with political reasons. That's not like the band.
Things change when the President starts stopping by your house while on vacation
sad if that is the case, then just come out and say it, and own it, because at least that will put everything in perspective, just want to hear the song

Wait, are you miffed about your view that Binaural songs are not being played (I recall quite a few in recent shows - Of the Girl opener, even!) or the lack of one song in particular for political purposes?
The whole anti-war protests pretty much stopped eight years ago.
Yet the amount of military sales to other countries has only increased, and people in countries are still dying and those are human beings too. If that is the case and it is defined by an association to a particular political party, just let me know now, instead of pretending, and I will just let my membership run out. Because I can't support anything hypocritical.

are you listening to the same shows I am? It has been played 7 times total since 2010, including one time in 2015, and one time in 2016
