    serious . I never listen to that shit ...or this last one
    I have a low member number and i sit down when the band plays anything off the first two albums . I hate the stuff . terrible
    I'd rather hear Binaural and Riot Act cover to cover
    most def

    I'm with you on the 1st two albums, cannot and won't play them anymore after giving them so many chances. They just do nothing for me anymore however Avocado most definately does. I guess its all about opinions and taste at a given time though.
    "First of all, there’s the palpable camaraderie and good feeling you get from the entire band as they smile and nod at each other, and huddle together in various formations throughout the show --- They look like they really like each other. They look stoked!"

    But seriously, Gone is a masterpiece. Ed wrote it in his fucking hotel room at the borgata. Not bad for one sitting , anyone who has ever tried to write a song will tell you that. All you haters are un fucking real. We dont need people in this club or at these shows like you. peace. sbb

    The song may be good, but I think their performance of it is bad. Eddie singing comes off whiny and tiring. I have nothing but love for his voice, but here it just annoys me and that ruins the song. I also don't like what they did with it in the studio! The song was fine the way it was before the rest of the band started dressing it up.

    Im not a hater. Im just sharing my opinion on the song, which happens to be a negative one.

    iiiiiiiiiihiihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihiiiiiiiiii'm gone. No thanks.
    I will swallow poison

    What are you talking about...granted it's not their best. You wanna tell me Whale Song and Sweet Lew are better than Gone?

    Personally I liked it more how Eddie played it solo in AC. Not their best song. But not their worst either. Just eh.

    I love Sweet Lew and especially Whale Song!

    yes, me too ! I really love whale song. When I bought lost dogs and heard that song, I was "wow". I don't understand why so many don't like it

  • To me it sounds like a Generic Pearl Jam song...Like a bunch of guys decided to write a song in the Pearl Jam way.

    The theme (getting away) has been used too many times by Vedder already and in better ways (MFC, RVM, Last Exit, Thumbing My Way)

    I actually like the verses, going into 'the lights of the city' bit but when the drums come in, it just sounds awkward.

    I know many non fanatic PJ fans who really like this song, however I think for us hardcore, we've heard it all before...
  • So this last tour was pretty much all complete and utter bollocks to you right? :D

    Wow...

    yup yup

    2003 was the end-all be-all
    maybe philly 2005

    just watch

  • By far one of the most boring songs by PJ. Just plain boring. Shouldn't have been on the album. It screams B-side to me.
    -PUSH ME AND I WILL RESIST!
  • Call me an idiot, but if you don't like it so much why is it on your ipod?
  • One of my favorite things about the message pit is watching the elitists bash anyone who doesn't think that every single Pearl Jam song is amazing. That isn't everyone in this thread but a few of you always show up when someone has an opinion other than "OMG! EVERY SONG THEY HAVE EVER DONE IS AMAZING! YOU ARE AN IGNORANT ASSHOLE!"

    Some of you really need a life

    And I agree...Gone is a very sub-standard song. He wrote it in one night in a hotel room and it shows.

    it actually infuriates me that such a talented bunch of musicians can come up with such a heap of total shit. fuck it pains my ears it's so terrible.


    thank you very much

    Even though you aren't required to like it, the fact that you don't like it does not mean it's not a good song!!

    i agree with you that gone is crap, but evacuation is a huge pile of steamy shit, far worse than gone.

    WORST OPINION EVER!

    I loved this song before it was even supposed to be on the album. The band had to talk Eddie into putting on the album it was so good.

    Why do people bitch?

    How is sharing an opinion and asking what others think bitching????? Is there a prerequisite when you sign up on this board that says you have to love the bands entire catalog? This is the kind of shit that makes me ashamed to be a fan sometimes and also why some people outside of this board think the fan base are insane.

    IDIOT! the intro is weak and quiet, granted it could be louder and stronger, but the song is solid. especially the lyrics. but everone has opinions and theirs should be respected. . . . so rock on brother! albeit wrong

    A. He didn't ask for our opinion. He merely made a comment about the song.

    B. I never said he had to like the song, but when somebody says they "hate" something, wouldn't you consider that bitching about something???

    When I don't like a song, I don't listen to it, I don't talk about it. It's just music. Nothing to get angry about unless your neighbors are blasting it.

    He doesnt have a clue because he thinks that him not liking the song makes it a terrible song. I agree that it is so annoying when people on here say if you dont like a song you shouldnt talk about it (don't say anything bad about anything pearljam) why not?
    But this guy doesnt have a clue here

    Even if he was joking, I agree with the joke. Boring song. I skip the song every time.
