They have impacted a great many people, normal average everyday people, but also people who later formed bands.

What do you think Pearl Jam thinks of the Nickelbacks, Creed's, Seether's, and Puddle of Mudd's of the world?

To know you have had such a positive and far ranging influence on people, and to know you have influenced bands to form and start, but some of the bands you helped influence are some of the worst in modern music.

Quite the contrast and paradox there!

    I hate to see Seether grouped with those bands. I actually think they are quite talented. I know they love pearl jam, Ever heard their Immortality cover? It's not bad!

    well, in '03, during green disease (ironic title nowadays...), ed changed the words a few times to "C-R-E-E-D" and riffed on them stealing his voice and being shitty and whatnot. so i'd guess he doesnt like them. but didnt matt drum on a song for nickleback a few years ago??

    I honestly hope that PJ doesn't waste 2 seconds of time they could be using to make their new album that much better on thinking about other bands that wear their influences on their sleeves.

    A better question is, why would they like those bands? And Seether? Did't they cover Careless Whisper? Sorry, I don't get it.

    i hate all these bands really...and it pains me to think that this music is made up of Pearl Jam fans...i hate Nickelback's cover of Black...it's like when Limp Buscut covered behind blue eyes by the who...totally does NOT do those songs justice...

    yeah I remember this. Pretty sure it was a Chad Kroeger song called "Hero"... it was on the soundtrack for one of the Spiderman movies. Matt apparently drummed on the track but wasn't available for the video. So if you look in the background its Jeremy Taggart from Our Lady Peace that's "rockbanding" along in the video. :)
