Yes, the French Horns and violins on a Pearl Jam song. Never thought I'd see the day...........

There's so much Pearl Jam history and so many songs that it can be easy to forget things...and I sometimes forget things too but Sea remembered...

April Cameron - viola on 'Parting Ways'; Justine Foy - cello on 'Parting Ways'

There's piano on Ten and sometimes people forget that Pearl Jam have always used keys.

It all just depends on the sound that is needed. They've even used a barking dog.

(Hey, this could be a good thread of its own, to not derail this one...unusual sounds used on PJ albums - I'd read it. )

and not to derail the obvious, but what is Kat doing up at this hour????

My fave has to be the fire extinguisher on Ten. Tim Palmer's extinguisher playing is soooooo much better than his pepper shaker.

RIVAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Rock · July 2009

I'm enjoying Kat's obvious excitement about Backspacer, she seems to be posting a lot more recently.

She has probably heard the album and she said the other day that this one means a lot to her, so i'm super pumped!

The violins on Parting Ways are beautiful.

this Zane Lowe guy is a DEUCHEBAG. !!!!!!

Agreed, but he really is a genuine fan. I'd rather listen to him than someone who knows nothing about the band he's talking about.

I've met Zane quite a few times over the years, mostly at gigs, and whatever people think about him he is a genuine music fan, and a HUGE PJ fan. His enthusiasm can get the better of him when he interviews people (he starts talking even faster!) but that's just because he's excited about the interview. He interviewed Mike for MTV in front of some of the fans outside before the Cardiff show in 2000 and he was like a nervous litle kid! You could tell he was thinking "Fuck! It's Mike McCready!!"

yeah, I love watching the tape of Reading's broadcast and you see when they cut back to them and Alive is playing in the background that he's just DYING to be down there with us!
I don't actually listen to his show (tried a couple of times but every time it was dance or electro type music and I just switched off), but I love to see him talking about PJ, feels like watching one of us

Details from multiple interviews:

The Fixer
Matt wrote the music
Eddie wrote the lyrics
Stone and Mike wrote the bridge.

What other details did I leave out, anyone? anyone?

Should Eddie get credit for the arrangement? From the Feb. 19th Rolling Stone article:

Another tune, penned by drummer Matt Cameron, is a bigger surprise: It's sleek power pop, with a Stones-y intro riff leading into a tight, chiming verse and a catchy vocal melody that wouldn't be out of place on a Kings of Leon record. "that could have been a seven-minute, weird, sideways kind of artsy song with a cool groove," Vedder says. "I tinkered with it after everyone left, and we shrunk it down and turned it into something else... I'm thinking about set lists: 'Will this be a song we'll play every night?'"

He is the fixer, after all!

when the song is loooong, i wanna put a bit of shortnin' on it

I heard there would be two versions of the album - one being a Fan club version

BrainofBGA · July 2009

I want Cameron Crowe's JOB. Was it stone that said something about "him sifting through all the old unseen footage". What a job that would be! HEAVEN!

I was just going to say, I was listening to Parting Ways on my IPod today and heard violins (or viola/cello) on it. So not the first time they've used violins on one of their songs. But Horns - the first time, I believe.

has anyone seen this interview with classic rock magazine

It is Jeff's bass. I don't know if they used some effect or what, but it is most definitely Jeff's bass producing that sound.

that's what i thought. i checked the liner notes & have never heard any mention of horns on that song. damn, i'd like to know what he was using on that to get that sound so i can try it!

awilkins · July 2009

Didn't they use a fire extinguisher on one song...?

Edit: it was a pepper shaker and a fire extinguisher on Oceans.
