    gayest?? really? how old are you...12?

    I know I know I know. I really just couldn't put in a more proper way. Perhaps since this is public forum, I should have said "It's the fruitiest song I've ever heard" to avoid using words like that. But I was shootin' brother! Ya dig? Tryin' to keep it real. I know if you, mfc2006, were sitting in my living room with me the day The Fixer was released, I would have turned to you and said "this is the gayest bullshit I've ever heard in my fucking life." Then I'd pass ya the bowl.

    Again, using "gay" or "fruity" when meaning gay is bigoted and not appropriate here. Do not do this again.

    Not to cause any trouble with this, cause I agree with what you said, but just for clarifications sake - Could one still use the word fruity? - Excessively sentimental or sweet. (dictionary definition).

    The Fixer is excessively sweet, therefore "The Fixer is fruity" in a very, very good way :D

    Just don't want the bigots to co-op the beautiful english language.

    lets see...

    option one: young, attractive, excited crowd jumping and cheering.

    option two: 30something crowd of bored onlookers waiting for a rare b-side who take pee breaks during Even Flow and complain of crowd surfing and GA audiences.


    How about NO CROWD?

    without a crowd it'd be a foo fighters video.

    anyway, i like the fixer a lot - i dont listen to the radio because DJs do my head in, but i've heard it a few times off this website's homepage and frankly, i like it a lot.

    the video is charming in a way... looks happy and bouncey which is a nice change from a slow camera pan across eddie looking like he's about to slap someone. not that i don't love the idea of vedder slapping someone, but ya know.

    and who cares if it's a video shoot? i've been to video shoots before. they're hard work. they told us to wear black and to jump up and down a lot. they told us to move that way. move this way. doesn't make the band any less of an artist for having control over the crowd in their music video. geez. we're just not happy unless everything looks miserable?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-XGKS4gXQk <--free beer was provided. good times had by all.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKOcnDhwDAQ <--pearl jam related.. this was filmed the night after the final 7 worlds collide gig that eddie was at... betchadupa invited people who were milling about afterwards to be in their video. we went. free food/beer etc. and we got to meet liam and ask him about ed. yes.

    Bon Jovi called. They want their video back.

    The video looks like it has been edited by a high school kid. Great song and the potential for a great video, but it's been destroyed in the editing room.

    I guess Cameron Crowe needs to go back to film school ? ;-)

    Yeah, that dude's a hack. twojawas should have edited it, would have been so much better :arrow:

    In all honesty, I could have edited that footage better than what's been done. Crowe didn't necessarily do the editing as he was the 'director' of the clip which is a distinctly different role than editor. Obviously it was his vision though.

    I think they tried to do something unique, but it didn't work. That's always the risk when you try something different, isn't it?

    Crowe's never made a mistake though, has he? Wait ... have you seen Elizabethtown? Ouch.

    Great song. Horrible video.
    When we found the things we loved,
    They were crushed and dying in the dirt.
    We tried to pick up the pieces,
    And get away without getting hurt,
    But they caught us at the state line,
    And burned our cars in one last fight,
    And left us running burned and blind,
    Chasing something in the night.

    Do you guys know what "pretentious" means? It's basically a live video, and that "fake" crowd is actually a bunch of unemployed workers who got to attend a free Pearl Jam concert. That's pretentious?

    Nothing's ever going to work with this song because it sucks.

    Alright, alright, that's not the way I should word it. First off, more power to anyone and everyone who likes The Fixer. Good for you. And I really mean that because it's great when a new song comes along that you really like...be it by Pearl Jam, another band you really like, or someone you never listen to. But I just think this song is fucking horrible.....

    Not just horrible, but really one of the gayest and most annoying songs I've ever heard. And I don't say that because I expect every new Pearl Jam song to blow my mind and I'm pissed because this didn't....hell I really like Got Some, Supersonic, and Speed of Sound a lot. If any artist recorded The Fixer, I'd hate it. It's just unbelievably bad, cheesy and POPPY. Yes people, "poppy" is bad when you're a hard rock band. "Catchy" is great. Corduroy is a perfect example of a "catchy" hard rock song. But The Fixer is true cheeseball pop. I would never play this song for someone and say "This is Pearl Jam" because they'd think I'm a dude who listens to crappy, generic rock music. The Fixer is like Third Eye Blind-level lame.

    And I want to note that I've listened to The Fixer twice as wrote this just to make sure I should really submit such a hater-like post. And I've decided....YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!


    Yet for some reason I think it'll be tolerable live.


    Just one man's opinion about ONE song
    Maybe beside "gayest song" i have to say I agree with most of Your opinion. Maybe it's not like I hate this song, but it's ...hm... not the level of music Pearl Jam used to make.
