Santa God is quite simply an awful fucking song. It should have been on Riot Act to drive it even further into the ground.

    Oh I so disagree. I happen to love it. :)

    I won't argue with you but I feel like you may have a different song than what I got.

    Did your record sleeve say "Warning: worst song in the history of all times"?

    Did it grow on you? Maybe I haven't listened to it enough. I just remembering it being something that was not memorable.

    I'm all for new PJ, as we all are, but it was pretty poor. Then again, it is a Christmas song.

    I'm just giving it an honest assessment. There are very very very few songs they've done that I don't like. This is definitely one I don't though. Surely other people feel the same way I do. Believe me, Ed doesn't read this or give a fuck what I think anyway.

    it's all gravy baby, god knows there are some PJ songs i've only listened to once or twice!

    I love this song and the lyrics are pretty cool...

    Kinda reminds me of that Bruce Springsteen "Radio Nowhere" song...vocal style very similar, in a good positive way...

    I agree

    I thought Ed's voice really sounded awful

    Just to clarify...It's okay to trash Pearl Jam's music, but not yours? Have I got that right?

    It's cool to trash my stuff. Some of it is good. Others are bad. I just do it as a hobby. Regardless of what you think about some of my songs, Santa God isn't particularly good. Why pick a fight at midnight over a Christmas song. Seems a little pathetic.

    I would love to hear some of your stuff.

    I've just always found it funny when PJ fans come to the PJ board to say that a PJ song sucks. I'd let it go, but you just had a diatribe complaining about people that didn't like your stuff. That didn't seem pathetic, it was pathetic

    I think you missed the point. I don't mind criticism. It's actually helpful in a lot of ways. But it was the particular people who were ragging on me and it had nothing to do with the music. For whatever reason, they just don't like me. So when I asked to hear some of their stuff with just them, a guitar, and their voice, they got quiet all of a sudden.

    Look dude, I'm not a great guitar player. I have a decent singing voice. I don't play complicated stuff. I just like playing. I have no aspirations of becoming anything other than a husband and a father. I guess I just don't like people who talk big shit on a fucking message board but don't back it up. That's the nature of the beast. For the record, there are a lot of simple songs that are really good songs. And there are a lot of people on this board who like my songs. Like I said, it's strictly a hobby for me. I've been playing for 5 years and I might play 30 minutes a week because I don't have the time to be in a band. That's why I don't see where all the hate comes from.

    And yes, I bashed a PJ song that I didn't think was very good but I still love the band. I think the people I was referring to genuinely hate me which is fine. They're afforded that oportunity through their cyber-anonymity. I guess I'll continue to play and share it and they'll continue to bitch about it. That's basically it.
