Single Podcast Theory

rummy

Just listened to Episode #5 (LB). Although I'm not a huge fan of the album I did enjoy the podcast. Getaway, MYM, Pendulum, and Infallible (and MAYBE the title track) are all solid tunes - especially Getaway. Also, when I saw them perform Pendulum to open the show I saw in Buffalo, I thought that it might eventually be put up along side the likes of classic, "slow burn" openers like Release or Long Road. Maybe I was getting ahead of myself but I'm sure you catch my drift. It was pretty cool opener. 

Earlier in the episode, you mentioned of how the band playing of No Code (Moline '14) and Yield (Milwaukee '14) may have seemed a bit of a gimmick on the surface (which I you, of course, stated wasn't the case). However, like many bands that play older albums, Pearl Jam didn't announce it in advance (thus somewhat maintaining the surprise factor) they didn't TOUR the album like most do. If there's is in fact a gimmick involved, that'd be it (and this is coming from someone who saw U2's JT30 and loved it).

I don't personally think it's too gimmicky, I just have heard people say that when some bands have done it. I've personally seen a few bands do it and it's one of the greatest things ever IMO. If it's a record I really like, than why not?

True (and sorry if I misquoted you). I don't want to come across as someone who doesn't appreciate a good album live (not sure about your feeling on U2 - they can be quite polarizing) but the JT show I saw this year was fantastic. However, I don't think they're fooling anyone when they say they are doing it due to the current state of the world. 

Gotta throw in that I attended an PJ album show of my own (the Binaural one in Toronto last year) and thought it was....very good but a bold move. I mean, playing a relatively obscure album in a big (but somewhat fickle) city was a risk for sure.

SO jealous. I love Binaural! Would love to be part of any "album show" but Binaural would be pretty special *because* it's so obscure. 

Not really a huge fan of U2, but I definitely like Joshua Tree. I've only seen a couple bands do full album shows, New Found Glory (3 different albums on their current tour) and Megadeth doing Rust In Peace, one of my all-time favorite albums. I think it's just a cool thing for bands to do for the hardcore fans of certain albums.

Listened to episode 1 today.  I liked it and will listen to more - you all should think about scheduling some of the people on here to discuss their experiences if you haven't done that yet.  
This community is incredible, as you know, and I applaud you for bringing light to it.

Great job on the podcast guys! Keep up the good work. I have enjoyed the first couple and can't wait to listen to the rest.

Considering Episode 5: I sort of agree that the last three songs don't necessarily fit with rest of the album but I don't think LTRP would be a good closer. I think they should of kept one of them (Yellow Moon, imho) and dropped the other two.

Just checked out the introduction. Sounds good so far. Thank you all! Can't wait to check out the rest.

Got a lump in my throat listening to Brad talk about Release and what it now means to him @ the end of episode 2. 
Sorry, man.
Unfortunately, welcome to the club.  It gets easier and even the things that hurt make you smile. 
You guys love this music, that is certainly evident!

True. Yellow Moon is definitely the "best" of those last three. I'd love to hear some outtakes!

Thank you, I've been trying to think of all the good times I had with my dad. There's a lot of them!

Thank you! We've got about 25 years worth of PJ stuff to talk about so once we get through all that, we might slow down.

Nice show - although I was surprised when it ended (seemed short!). However, I appreciate how you didn't get too much into Stone's personal life - it's really none of our business, is it? - and focused on what he's written. 

Cornell's death hit me in a similar way that it hit the two of you. Although I (obviously) don't know him personally, I was surprised/upset that he went at the time he did. Cobain's suicide seemed inevitable but not this one. I wrongly assumed that once you reach a certain age that you're out of the woods with this kind of stuff.

Non-musician Brad. Need an answer to the question "Why do like Hail Hail?" BECAUSE IT ABSOLUTELY ROCKS AND MAKES ME FEEL GREAT EVERY TIME I HEAR IT!

PS. Thanks for the Game of Thrones Sound byte!

Listening to Stone episode now. Sounding good guys.
Funny hearing you mentioned the "grunge family tree". I did that with my peeps in school too. We would draw a massive network diagram on the blackboard in the study room at school. The evolution out of the eighties is one of the best things about this band.

Stay gold.

Haha, were still trying to figure out a good length for the show. We've heard from both sides, some say it's too long, some say it's short. I feel like we could talk for 3 hours sometimes so we're still trying to figure it out.
