    Watt brought serious energy to that song. His guitar was loud in the mix and it was awesome. Glad he was not wearing Gucci pajamas.

    Pearl Jam - Waiting For Stevie (Radio Edit) 


    Oof!  I love this song, and the solo makes it!  Sad to see them basically cut THE WHOLE THING.  This song really is the type of song that would garner all sorts of attention from people who haven't listed to Pearl Jam in decades and bring them back to listening to this amazing band.  I obviously get cutting the "Be Humble" segue into Running, but please, you gotta let that solo rip for at least a minute before the fade!

    It’s baffling that they decided to keep the super repetitive verses but got rid of the best part of the song.  I wonder if not having an outside opinion on band decisions often holds them back from being more popular.

    Oh man...yeah I thought you guys might be overreacting but yeah, that's not a a great way to end that song.

    There are a lot of people here who feel strongly about this song because it tracks with their idea of the quintessential Pearl Jam sound, which they associate with "early Pearl Jam." The problems with this in terms of releasing a single with that sound are: 1) the segment of the listening audience that shares this affinity is mostly uninterested in new music-- to the extent they want to listen to songs that sound like this, they'll just keep listening to the same old early Pearl Jam songs; and 2) the segment of the listening audience that is open to new music is not attuned to rock music that sounds like this. There's a reason why this song has gotten little traction at radio thus far, failing to cross over from mainstream rock stations to alternative and Triple-A stations. (And it could never be a pop hit in 2024 barring some exogenous Kate Bush-in-Stranger Things-type event.) This radio edit is an attempt to salvage things by making it more palatable for more formats (and, of course, shorter).
    I gather speed from you fucking with me.

    ugh, ok fade out I guess, but that is waaaaayyyyyy to quick into fading out.  I'd rather 25 seconds of a ripping solo and then full stop then 5 seconds and fade.

    The song has only been out for barely two weeks.  Give it some time, it’s actually moving up the active rock chart.

    The radio edit... ouch.  That's bad.  "Alive" was like 5:40.  "Jeremy" is around 5:15.  I mean if you'd fade it out on the second "You can feel love", you would've given that solo a little time to breathe and it would've still been only 4:20... still don't love it, but that would've been much better than this very abrupt ending.  

    Or edit the "You can feel love" out of the song and just let that solo go for at least a little bit before a fade out.

    If they did the fade out, I would agree, it should start right at the "you can feel love" part.  Whatever, though.  Radio is radio.
