    As great as the Earthlings were, the thirty years of chemistry was evident with Pearl Jam this weekend. They were hungry to play those songs together again, and for the first time. It’s remarkable how far they have stretched their sound since “grunge”.

    They don’t need this Josh kid, in my opinion. For f*ck’s sake you got Stone Gossard and Mike McCready. Ed likes having this boy around.

    You’re aware he’s not just playing guitar right? Most bands have an extra guy on stage with them nowadays. A multi instrumentalist to fill out the space that they created in the studio. I don’t understand this point of view honestly.

    this guys is incredible in my opinion. I must've seen him playing 15 different instruments - and you can tell humble. seems like a great addition.

    He's just an all-round musician with solid chops on multiple instruments (check his latest Pluralone record for some examples). If you could get him into your band, it would be silly not to.

    His voice is insane. Great to see him so happy with Chad too. They seem like good mates-I saw Alice In Chains in Auckland in 2019 and Chad and Josh came on to play Dam That River and Them Bones (Chilis were playing Auckland as well obviously). Love that the band asked him to help out. Though you could definitely say it's paying it back to the Chilis as one of them was quite possibly responsible for their entire existence.

    The Gigaton stuff does seem like it's bursting with layers at times and maybe Boom can't cover it all. I think of Retrograde and the keys dancing on the top of the end of the chorus lines and at the end-already a lot going on before that.

    This thread is still going? LOL

    He was awesome with them last weekend and it just adds another layer. I truly do not understand why people have such an issue with him being on stage. If I were a betting man, I'd say get used to it....I imagine he'll join them for the rescheduled dates as well.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    I don't know that it's necessarily trolling....some people are just really ingrained in how they view the things they love that they don't want them to change or evolve. kinda like still not being over Dave A not being in the band.

    You know, you're right. Making room for all opinions!! Edited and apologies to Mr. McDevitt (who, was my high school American History teacher by the way).

    That right there is the tune that made me aware of (and a fan of) Josh back in the day!!

    To be fair, just ~10% of this thread is negative towards Josh. The other 90% is from people who like this move.

    Anytime Josh is there behind the amps the song is going to sound even better…. guaranteed.
