    I agree 100% They suck at rock music. I dont think there is one female rock singer I like.

    Chrissie Hynde with the Pretenders is a damn good rock singer.

    But I would not want backup singer in PJ. That would almost be as silly as adding an organ player. ;)

    i don't even think they need to add anyone to the band at all...stone matt and jeff all sing back up...

    in regards to female rock singers that are great...Janis Joplin is probably the only one i like...i like Sleater Kinney but only slightly and really only for Modern Girl and when she sand Hunger trike with Eddie

    I think they sounded horrible the first night but much tighter the second night

    Scott

    I was able to watch Ed with Fonzi, Shariff and Bernise rehearsing earlier in the day. He was coaching them pretty heavily... I'm thinking they did not rehearse much. But I do think they called it an "experiment", right?

    I am a female and I would hate it if PJ got a female backup singer...it would ruin all the songs!!! I prefer males singing rock music!! All of my favorite singers are male.

    I hated when SK sang at the 2003 concerts! It was like nails on a chalkboard! And I also agree that those ladies who sang at the Madison Square Garden shows this summer SUCKED!!! Pearl Jam should no longer experiment with this stupid idea and just stick with what works!

    No way! It would change their style of music toooo much! I love them as they are.

    No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not that I think they would ever consider this... but...

    Knowing how much Ed is in love with Corin Tucker, that would be the only one they'd consider. And I can't stand her voice. She has ruined any bootleg on which she appears, grinding it to a halt of screech.

    Besides, my unwritten rule is that when bands start getting backing musicians to cover parts (or whatever), it's a sign of when they start to really suck. Happens all the time. Somehow, Pearl Jam was able to survive this curse when they added Boom, perhaps by only having him play on certain songs (although let's face it, any time there's a piano solo--not a B3 solo, but a piano, it's pretty horrible...see RITF, In My Tree (although that is B3), etc).

    Don't push it with any other members. No way.

    Wow. A lot of hating on the idea of a female back up singer in this supposedly 'male' art form. Can't say I'm picking up what those people are putting down. I don't know if anyone here has listed to much Pink Floyd, but their female back up singers sound fantastic. I don't think it would work for the majority of songs- Spin the Black Circle, how the hell would you pull that off? But take something atmospheric like You Are and this could add a really cool dimension. I'm not suggesting Bette Midler being the wind beneath Given to Fly, but c'mon :lol:

    Usually bands that get back-up singers, and previously hadn't had them, its 'cuz they are getting old and can't project their voice as well. NO, no, no... Eddie is doing just fine.

    I do have to say that I LOVE Ed signing "Helpless" with EJ. I think her voice sounds great with him, at least on that song.

    THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I said this before when the boots first came out and everyone was shocked that I would say this- they were horrible!!!

    Everyone minus me. I'm sure they're nice as people and everything but that WMA participation was just horrid. Please don't do it again. As far as female back-up singer goes, well, the same thinking applies to that as well.
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    The whole world will be different soon the whole world will be RELIEVED

    No need to thank me.
