if the band were to start playing another rare b-side next tour(ex. "all night"), I would love for them to rip this one. I can't stop blasting it, even though it is a sorta "downer" song. the drums are banging, the riff is nasty, the melody is flowing all over the place, and there are subtle harmonies. IMO...this would have been a bad-ass single back during the vs. era, but they didn't use it cause they knew it was too good.

    I don't get it. I think it's easily the weakest outtake from the Ten period, if not the weakest song in general. I think people only like it because it's something new to them. Just A Girl and Brother (w/ vocals) blow it away, and nobody ever talks about those because they weren't on Lost Dogs.

    Girl & Brother are awesome...but "Hold On" is a great song. "girl" is prob my fave of the 3, but my recording of it is terrible.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    There's a perfect copy on Gremmie from the "Anything In Between" boot.

    that song is so good. Much better than all night IMO. I'd love it if they'd start playing it.

    I would much rather hear In the Moonlight.

    It's a catchy song, but kind of a generic rock ballad. Might as well been written by Bon Jovi or Creed.

    I hope I'm there when they play it live!

    Hold On kicks major butt! Probably one of the most underrated songs in the PJ catalog.

    I'd rather hear *any* Matt song than a piece of cheese like "Hold On".

    I honestly can't think of one Matt song that is even remotely as good as Hold On. Weirder?? Sure.

    That's right. Not everybody likes bad Pearl Jam outtakes that sound like Creed or Bon Jovi at their worst. You obviously do.

    You Are and In the Moonlight are among the worst songs PJ has ever had the displeasure of recording. It's cool Matt gets a song on every album, but they are usually ill fitting.

    His songs are obviously over your head then, which doesn't surprise me, since most Pearl Jam fans aren't exactly conisseurs of good music.
