Unreleased Pearl Jam Song "Better Days" Leaks

YAY I finally heard it & love it too! I think people are saying it's form ITW just because of the ethnic kind of accompaniment. I think Ed's voice definitely sounds more recent that RA.. There we go, JMHO

Sorry just had to get that off my chest.


I WAS RIGHT AND YOU WERE WRONG!!!!!

RIOT ACT WHAT?

Congrats dude, but um really, it's not that big of a deal. Myself and a few others called it in the first 7 pages. Unless you maybe have cochlear implants, it seems anyone with even a shred of hearing left can tell that it was an ITW/BS era song. It's a distinctly different sound altogether.

I'm colorblind...so I have an excuse for sticking to the Riot Act and not hearing the difference (even though it was in black and white that it was from the Riot Act sessions)

That dude was probably more excited about calling when it was written than Eddie was for writing it.

A.) Whoa, buddy, calm down there. You might need to change your panties.

B.) That is hilarious that both Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly are commenting about this board... what did EW call us? "Always exciteable" (sp?) or something? Spot on.

Maybe he wrote it for "Into The Wild" but it didn't make the movie, and now it's being contributed for "Eat Pray Love," kind of like "Dead Man" was written for "Dead Man Walking" but was left off the soundtrack until it surfaced as a B-side and, later, as a "Lost Dog."

On another note, why is there this persistent myth that "Riot Act" is nothing but political songs? Most of the songs on that album do not address politics. Really, only "Bu$hleaguer," "Green Disease" and "1/2 Full" are political. Arguably, "Get Right," too, although it's pretty obtuse if it is.

You name 1/3 of the album and overlook some tunes.

LBC, Cropduster, HelpHelp

I Am Mine and 1/2 Full kinda have political undertones

Down and Undone are the bsides from the album

First of all, I named 3 songs out of 15. That's 20 percent, not a third.

I did mention "1/2 Full." That one's pretty obvious.

You're right about "Help Help." I forgot that one.

But I don't agree about "Love Boat Captain," "Cropduster" and "I Am Mine." "LBC" is about Roskilde and the power of love. "I Am Mine" was inspired by 9/11, but it doesn't address the political fallout. It's an empowering and encouraging song about living each day as if it were your last. "Cropduster" is philosophical, not overtly political.

Of course, it's all subjective and reasonable minds can differ.

The B-sides aren't on "Riot Act."

Julia Roberts movie? Ewwwww.
I used my first post ever for the Julia Roberts movie?
Ewwwwwwww. Ewwww. /Throws tantrum/

Not loving it.

There's no accounting for taste.

certainly no accounting for bad taste

embarrassed that this C-side is getting any media coverage...
