    i dont think STP are a rip off of pj, however they may have been signed cause they had a similar sound and a record label wanted to cash in on that....

    Both Ten and Core are masterpieces for what they are. Core is much heavier, full of durges, more metal. The bass is more prominent and the drums are Zepplin like- hit it hard and keep time, whereas Ten is full of drum rolls, time changes and a two guitar attack by Mike and Stone.

    Bullseye. Just not that metal (core). I look at it this way. STP sounds like what guns n roses would sound if they would have ripped off pj back in the day. PJ sounds like what R.E.M. would sound if they were to rip off STP. Sound of albums is what im talking about. But of course i know all of this is silly talking. Use your imagination.

    both bands are great.

    Never got the STP/Pearl Jam comparisons. Vedder and Weiland did have similar sounding voices on a few tracks from core but that is it. Nothing from Ten even remotely resembles Core. Look at the guitars, bass rifs, drums and especially lyrics. STP got a bad wrap for no damn good reason back in the day.
    Which came first,
    the bad idea or me befallen by it?

    Yeah, I love STP but I never really thought STP was a Pearl Jam rip-off. But I do remember Weiland once saying that he wished he had Eddie Vedder's voice...

    So who else is thinking about that celebrity deathmatch between Vedder and Stapp?

    I think Candlebox was one of the first that was an ripp off.

    candlebox and pearl jam formed around the same time in seattle...pearl jam just broke into the mainstream first. they were from the same scene, had the same friends, hung out together...they were similar, but candlebox didn't rip off pearl jam
