Ask Jules what he would rather making a quarter from a cd sale or eight bucks off concert revenue. so in the end it's all relative.

    You didn't buy the album??????

    It's not about $0.25, it's about the # sold. It gives a band more pull with the record company. The Strokes really needed to sell albums in this country and their fans didn't back them.

    If you care about them, pick up a copy.

    Tell them you love them. Never let the mundane, the unimportant, or worse, the misunderstood, be the final words of parting.

    Tell them.

    I can't believe someone is criticizing a guitarist for palm muting. I feel like I am in another dimension.

    Nobody is criticizing the technique. I'm criticizing the frequency and unoriginality of it from Adam Jones.

    Boring band.

    I find it amazing how you listen and watch a band like Pearl Jam progress so respectfully, and then you watch people like Maynard progress. That guy is a media manipulator to the max. Total hype salesman.

    I heard a few minutes of "Vicarious" on MySpace. Within an hour after I heard it, the page was taken down.

    Whats so cheesy about their lyrics. I would say Maynard is one of the most thought provoking song writers ever.



    Huh??! :O Say that again!..... the lyrics are so cheesy.... and kinda emo at times, such as this from 'the patient' "is this a test, it has to be, otherwise i can't go on"

    I do like his voice/melodies a lot though! Just hate his lyrics.

    Jones uses moere techniques and tools than both Mccready and Gossard. Mccready has been playing the same solo for 10 years . Compare all of tools cd's and just listen to the Evolution of all of there playing and styles.

    I just saw that show last night. Really Loud and Julian was really drunk. That said it was an excellent show and the Eagles of Death Metal should open the 2nd leg of the Pearl Jam tour :D

    Do you happen to play guitar. If you don't then you really dont know what you are talkin about. If you do, you should realize how good he is.

    True, what he does isnt always the most impressive, but his ability to play in odd time-sigs, shifting time sigs, and different sounding time sigs from the drummer is pretty impressive.

    I wish he would combine what he did on Undertow with the new stuff. Once you get the timing of the new stuff its all pretty easy stuff, but figuring the timing out can be a real bitch.

    Also, there arent many guitarist that have a sound as good or recognizable as his.

    haha, i love when people say "no one in pearl jam would..." or "if it were pearl jam then they wouldn't..."

    ..uh, maybe cause, they're not pearl jam?

    everyone has different ways of doing things... this way seems very maynard-esque to me for some reason. unless he really was thinking at the time "hey i wonder if that eddie guy is doing this too..." which i'm sure was a strong... possibility...
    live pearl jam is best pearl jam

    Yes I do play guitar, and no, I don't think he is that talented, sorry.

    They probably play different styles of music but I really love both of their works!

    I think that Adam Jones is a great guitarist because he doesn't have to play a great solo to make a song sound awesome. How can you criticise his playing? One thing is sure he's more talented than you are.
