    My theory on this is: I've heard Evenflow played so many times, I don't care what they do. I'm not bagging on the song, or saying they shouldn't play it -- I'm just saying it doesn't matter to me.

    Let Matt have his solo. Give Boom an organ break. Play the entire second verse on kazoo. I don't care.

    I've heard the song hundreds of times. Play it however you want now.

    I'm sure that this has been brought up before but I'm sorry. That upsets me. Give me Mike McCready's solo and that is it. I love Matt Cameron but it has to go.
    The song is great, Mike's solos are great, Matt's solos are great... but sometimes you can have too much of a great thing. It's hard to keep it fresh when you're playing it at every show, and I think it loses some of its value.

    I think it's fun when Matt does that. Everyone else in the band usually gets their moment to shine, let Matt have one too.

  • No way! Matt's drum solo is the best thing about Even Flow these days.

    there's a best thing about even flow?

    and enough about letting matt cameron have his moment to shine. he's the DRUMMER. drummers don't get to shine.

    I can do without it being played at the fucking speed of light

    edit: this could be applied to a few songs

    PJ fans are getting older and the band realized we needed a longer pee break.

    Thanks guys.

  • Now this pisses me off. I have considered bringing an even flow sign to all my shows but I am not that way.
    It was the only song I yelled for generaly. Dissing even flow is not cool.
    On touring band 2000 I am the guy in the white shirt for even flow. I can also be seen on the garden DVD for even flow.

    What you people need to realize is there is someone at that show who will only see that show in their life. And it is clearly a highlight.

    Please play even flow 2 times a night at my shows. thank you

    the more extended the better also
  • if they are going to do away with the drum solo then they need to play black diamond every show. matt should get his moment to shine

    Now I love Mike's solos but the drum solo is just a little too bland for me. I'm sorry for the people who don't think so. Of course there are gonna be people who like it and people who don't. Me...I don't. I'm not saying anything bad about Mike rocking my socks off with that solo but I just don't care for Matt's 80's drum solo.

    i agree.

    i really got bored during his solo at lolla...

    i believe during the solo my friends and i even discussed what we were going to order at Taco Burrito King...that wouldn't happen during a Mike solo.


    Esther's here and she's sick?

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks
