    Haha... A lot of the replies cracked me up. I'm not even anti-organ (I was a Doors fan before a Pearl Jam fan) but Boom just has never fit for me. It's really the solos that bother me the most. They're a downer at the shows and I skip them on the boots.

    For the love of everything that is good in this world... Eddie, no horns!


    hopethatuchoke... Thanks. It's a reference from the second greatest band of all time, American Nightmare/Give Up The Ghost.

    Why? Cause it's not "grunge" enough?


    I would love that. It would thin out the fucking frat guys who invade PJ shows nowadays.

    Sorry... Pearl Jam is the only band I listen to from the "grunge" era. Not worried about that.

    I'm more into old-school HC.

    I like boom, but wasn't it funny in the DVD when he played that centuries old organ and EV didn't even smile. He had that look like, "You have displeased the master." Me and my friends were laughing at that. Such an awkward moment.

    I think Ed not smiled because he was very moved. That one was one of the great moments of the DVD. Boom was great..Sensitivity...

    So OAR are a frat band according to this board... they have horns. Now if PJ adds horns the frat boys will leave? Geez, if I was a typical frat boy I'd be pretty confused. Also I didn't know this was a problem at PJ shows...

    I think I read it differently. I think boom's solo on that thing sucked and EV was like "we came all the way over here and this is all you got?". I thought it was funny. but to each their own!

    Generally though, I like Boom.

    I think Ed wasn't smiling because he was thinking how daft it was of him to wear that sweater when he knew he'd be filmed that day.

    If you were a typical frat boy, I think tying your shoes would be confusing enough.

    Joking. But seriously....frat boys are stupid meatheads.

    I feel that boom should not be up for EVERY song. He should be up there for songs written with the organ originally with very very few exceptions (i.e. crazy mary). In my opinion he's really not that great at organ/keyboard. He really ruins a good amount of songs. Just my opinion

    I didn't get that at all. I remember EV looking absorbed in that moment.

    As far as Boom's inclusion during this tour, I hope it is just Boom and Eddie with his yuke. ;)
    I got the same feeling. Boom was so honored to be playing that organ..it brought tears to my eyes.

    I like what Boom is doing for the band, but I'll be the first to say...he isn't a virtuoso in the least. Even in Picture In a Frame in the church, he fucks up that song he is playing a good two or three times.

    Come to think of it.....Boom might be the cause for increased ticket prices.
