    What on earth does this even mean? Could Jack control the band's emotions? Wow :D

    Jack was good to have because he brought focus.

    It's the difference between being a dad and being a father.

    Actually yeah, the 2 albums he did with them flow way better musically. I like Riot Act alot but the flow is differant.

    I think Yield and No Code are more cohesive, and less generic.

    Shoot me!

    I am all for music being differant and Riot Act is, and to me its a good thing, but it doesnt change the feel on Yield and No Code.

    From what I gathered over the years the band really looks up to Jack, especially Ed, In Scar Tissue keidis goes on to talk about Ed modeling himself over Jack and trying to be just like him when he was younger. In other PJ biographies the story goes as far as Stone and Jeff creating their sound to fit Jacks drums and begging him to join the band before Ed and then the rest is history.

    Matt Rocks! My favorite drummer period but the band responds differantly.
    Some people have religion I have Pearl Jam.


    no more shows

    Yea, Matty is definitely my favorite (and I personally think most talented) drummer. Its pretty apparent to me that the drummers on all of their albums affected the flow/sound of the album, even if they didn't write most or any of the music.

    I guess thats one of the great things about being a band is that everyone brings something to the table and that effects the final outcome.

    PCH is beautiful. I wish I had listened to this album driving down it.

    I was reading the PATRIOT Act for class and being familiar with the British Riot Act.... I dunno it was one of those weird things that they are both reactionary legislation. The state limiting the basic power of the people right to assemble, equal protection, due process.

    The ex-parte is the worst part of the law. The government can introduce to a judge evidence against you and as long as they say it's classified you can't examine or challenge it.

    After reading the PATRIOT Act I *understand* why the government needs the warrentless wire taps. I don't entirely support it but I undertand that NSA wire taps work like a deep sea fishing net, you don't know what you've caught until you reel it in. So you can't get a warrant for something you don't know you have until it's caught.

    Anyways.... How bout them Colts?

    I love Riot Act, too. Just didn't want you to feel alone in a world filled with Riot Act haters. What's your favorite song?
