    No - I love Sleater-Kinney! I appreciate that Corin's voice is not to some people's taste. However there's no need for any sexist comments (how else could that one have been taken?!) and I'm not sure Carrie was ever known to attempt a Mike-style solo! I wonder how many of the anti-SK folk have listened to a full album rather than just the live stuff they did with Pearl Jam.

    I agree about Jack Johnson though. Just so dull to me. I was travelling in Australia when In Between Dreams came out and it followed me everywhere. I went from being bored by it at the start to being absolutely bloody sick of it by the time I left!

    Sleater-Kinney are probably my second favourite band, and the best gig I've seen behind Pearl Jam. I'll defend them to the death - Combat Rock is a better anti-Bush song than Ed's ever written, with a riff as good as anything Stone's ever written.

    AKA Sleater "We piss all over RITFW ... While squatting, of course" Kinney.

    When they came out for Leaving Here in Charlotte 03, I was on perma-cringe the entire song and then of course the finisher with RITFW...horrible.

    I know some people love them and to each their own...but they are just not for me.

    I'd have said the same thing about Radiohead. You just need to hear them at the right time. ;):)

    Mike's playing isn't fine in the same way I'm talking about...

    Listen to Mike play that solo at the end of 'Alive' on Ten... Now, seriously.. Has he really gotten better since he pulled that off? That was over 15 years ago & it doesn't sound like his playing is any better than when he played that - I think he's about just as good as he was 15 years ago. That's why I'm saying he should branch out more & find more influences in guitarists.

    At MSG II I noticed how Ace Frehelys solo sounded identically to how Mike would have played it. I could not tell a difference between the two. Same licks.

    Oh, Radiohead sucks too.

    Radiohead is the only band today on the same level as Pearl Jam

    Sleater-Kinney are actually pretty phenomenal, but I guess PJ fans who only enjoy PJ, AIC, Soundgarden, and Nirvana wouldn't understand a band as talented as they are.


    It's a shame Eddie wastes time in trying to find good openers when the stupid 25-40 year old fans just shit on them because they don't understand.

    EF you S-K haters.


    MMJ and KOL are possibly the most boring and lame rock bands out today. I have no clue why PJ enjoy them.
    you must have never heard a mmj album...
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    Couldn't agree more. The Woods is one of the greatest records I've ever heard. S-K is second only to Pearl Jam in my book, but it's all a matter of opinion.

    I cringe listening to any song that any member of Sleater Kinney sings with pearl jam. It totally ruins the song. Her voice sounds like some sort of swine being strangled while unmercifully trying to power through the words, hoping that things will wind up being OK.
    Cursed is the day that their singer does the 2nd verse of RITFW...ughh.
