I've been compelled by them lately. They have a new album coming out in June? I think. They're playing in Seattle this weekend and I was thinking of going. Anyone see them? I'm really digging A Stone's Throw Away.
Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.

    no, he's not, if I were to see him, i'm sure i'd flip out. Scott Mercado is, he was their original drummer.

    I have flights booked, tickets purchased, hotel and car booked and now I am sick and don't know if I can go

    =(

    I can't even refund my tix for the show 'cause it's too late, but I really wanted to go to this show. I hope I feel better and can make it.
    Just me

    you should a.) feel better, which I hope you do! and b.) it would be great to meet another PJ fan! There aren't enough in Seattle, TRUST ME. Everyone just looks at you weird if you say you love PJ.

    Seriously?! I though Seattle would be chock full of PJ fans. That's a crime. But wait, what age group are we talking here?

    I consider Candlebox one of the most underrated rock bands of the 90's. Lucy was a great album without having any big radio hits. I'd love to see them live.

    Well, I'm 24, and most PJ fans I've met are in their 30s. I only know one other PJ fan who is 23. But yeah, we're more Indie rockers out here. Modest Mouse, Death Cab, Band of Horses, that's what's making Seattle dance now a days. Don't get me wrong, I love all those bands as well, but what really gets me is an amazing guitar solo by Mr. Mike McCready himself. I like my music to be a bit harder.

    You give me hope Pearlsgirl. I like all of those bands too. But they're no PJ.

    Oh I agree. SG, PJ... god I miss those days. I just wish I was 10 years older, I could have really lived out the 90s.

    Kewl beans. There will be lots of great people there.. From Seattle and otherwise. Hopefully you can widen your group of Seattle PJ fans. =)

    Oh and I am feeling a little better today, so holding up hope to still make it there this weekend. I'm gonna take it one day at a time until then, tho.

    Peace

    thank you for saying that...people are very quick to hammer on them whenever they are brought up.


    but I'm confused....THERE ARE OTHER 18-25 YEAR OLD PJ FANS IN WESTERN WASHINGTON!?!?!

    candlebox is criminally underrated.
    saw them in hartford 07 and they kicked major ass.
    small general admission joint called the webster.
    there were a lot of cool pj fans and stuff, but for some reason there was alot of fuckin wack-jobs. one drunk/shroomed out hick proposed on stage .. his girl was even more fucked up. when they climbed down she fell right on top of me and then turned and stared me in the eyes like she was looking at jesus. then there was a couple next to me practically fucking.
    that's just the webster though ;)
    show was great

    understanding is one of my favorite tunes
    2006: Hartford
    2008: MSG 1, Hartford, Mansfield 2, Ed Solo NYC 1
    2009: London (O2), Philly 1, 2, 3, & 4
    2010: Hartford, Boston, MSG 1 & 2
    2011: Ed Solo Hartford
    2012: Philly (MIA Fest)
    2013: Worcester 2, Brooklyn 1 & 2, Hartford

    I've heard "You" on the radio 2 times recently. Damn, what a kickass tune that is. Made me remember how much I liked them back in the day. I may have to give their new stuff a listen. :)

  • wolfbearwolfbear Posts: 3,965
    I always liked them, but didn't know they were still together and playing. Good to hear. :)

    Lukin66.. I have one ticket left.. I was going to fly out to the show, but had to cancel due to illness. I gave my other one to PearlsGirl. Both tix are will call. If you want the one I have left, please check your PM's and either call the # I provided or respond to my PM with your REAL first and last name, or the first and last name of someone 21 who looks a lot like you and will loan you their ID. =)

    awesome group. i love their self-titled album. lots of strong tracks present there. far behind is one of the most underrated songs of the 90s.

    You're quite welcome. Glad to know the two of you will be going and enjoying the show instead of having good tickets go to waste. Peace and Love, but most of all MUSIC! Give Lee Rude and the Trainwrecks HELL

    Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you bad
    But I did it anyway
    And not maybe
    Some would say your life was sad
    But you lived it anyway
    And now maybe
    Your friends they stand beside they watch you crumble
    As you falter to the ground
    And now maybe
    Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
    Oh you were flying oh so high
    But then some day people look at you for what they call their own
    They watch you suffer
    Yeah they hear you calling home
    But then some day we could take our time
    To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
    But you left me far behind
    Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad
    But I did it anyway
    Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had
    But you couldnt share the pain
    No, no, no
    Couldnt share the pain they watch you suffer
    Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
    But I live with what Ive known
    Yes maybe we might share in something great
    But wont you look at where weve grown
    Wont you look at where weve gone
    But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I fear for you in my mind
    As you trip the final line
    And that cold day when you lost control
    Shame you left my life
    So soon you should have told me
    But you left me far behind
    Now maybe I didnt meant to treat you oh so bad
    But I did it anyway
    Now maybe some would say youre left with what you had
    But you couldnt share the pain
    No, no, no
    Now maybe I didnt mean to treat you oh so bad
    But I did it anyway
    No maybe some would say youre left with what you had
    But you couldnt share the pain
    I said times have changed your friends
    They come and watch you crumble to the ground
    They watch you suffer
    Yeah they hold you down
    Hold you down
    Maybe brother maybe love I didnt mean to treat you bad
    But you left me far behind
    Left me far behind
    Left me far behind

    that song gives me the fucking chills every time. it is one of those songs that is depressing and hopeful at the same time...idk if that makes sense.
  • Lukin66Lukin66 Posts: 3,063
    it really does make sense...almost a little bit like Black to me (lyrically, at least) leaving someone behind, but still hopeful they'll have a great life ('I know someday you'll have a beautiful life/I know you'll be a star')
