Pearl Jam - Ole

Yes it does sound like something that might have been on Backspacer .. but I like Backspacer so that's ok.

New song?? Very punkish!!

http://www.pearljam.com/news/pearl-jam-ole

haven't posted in many months and was unable to attend PJ20 but this night and staying up this late has triggered my passion for this band all over again

First Impressions:

- Song is very ramones-esque...i loved it. I hope the new album is similar. This was my first listen cuz I haven't been on the boards since March or idk so i never saw the old threads. Where can we buy this now??

- Stone w/o glasses and wearing a zip up jacket = very different

- Many mics and great sound coming from the drumset; also love the new graphics on Matt's basedrum

- Mike had a great solo but the sound didnt seem to be as loud/clear as Matt's

All in all...I was smiling ear-to-ear during both Cam Crowe bits. Almost Famous is one of my all-time fav movies and it's great to see Jimmy express such deep appreciation and admiration for Crowe giving him a shot, etc. Jimmy is really a class act. His show is amazing...he really is a storyteller in himself but thats a whole other blog post.

Loved the cobain/eddie holy grail footage and the book and soundtrack vinyl...i cant wait to get my hands on that

I haven't been checking the PJ20 revealing days etc b/c i really want to be surprised by everything. I can't wait

So jealous of the Asian guy in the red t-shirt (I never met him or know his name but I've seen him at probably half of my shows) He's at everything!!! So cool. Def jealous of the crowd getting a copy of the book b4 anyone else (especially the fans of Tom Selleck who dont care about PJ lol)

Going to buy my ticket for PJ20 screening in NYC at IFC Center right now...hoping its not sold out already.

Love you all,
Yellow Bedwetter

I personally really like this song! I think the basslines really groove and the guitar riff pumps me up! It does sound similar to that Oasis song, but I don't think that was intentional! Do you know how many power chord riffs in the rock scene are similar? I like this song a lot! As far as albums go; I would be ok with this on the next album! I liked Avacado and I liked Backspacer. There isn't a bad PJ album in my opinion; however; that being said, I do feel that Avacado and Backspacer are my least favorite albums of PJs whole catalog even though I love them. Again, not that they aren't great, just different from everything from Ten to Riot Act. The band has evolved!

"Meh" to terrible in 15 minutes.

that's exactly what the girl i lost my virginity to said.

15 minutes? I hope my wife isn't reading the boards

Kind of sounds like The Meaning of Soul but clearly Matt is not using a 'box of fucking Cheerios' on his snare drum.

I don't think anyone is waiting for a Betterman Pt 2

Ramones are ace. Ole is not. Its like The Fixer's ugly sister

Tom Selleck's interview was better than Ole. What a shit song.

I don't get this whole new wave pop punk road Pearl Jam are taking. Its not them. Why try to be something your not?

I have a problem with this sentiment and see it around here a lot. We may not like or have to like everything they do but we're not in the band. Maybe it is them. Maybe this is what they are now. I can easily see Ole right next to Of the Earth on an album or for that matter Spin the Black Circle or Glorified G. Is it the second coming of Christ-awesome? No, but it is good and I'm glad I like it!

They have punk influences, but the punk sound just sounds bad to me coming from PJ.

Then again, I'd take a well written acoustic PJ song over anything else...so, to each his own.

Just heard this song on Fallon now & I f*ckin' love it!! Garage punk rock sound, reminds me of early Mudhoney, Supersuckers... Big difference between saying its a rubbish song or just that you don't like it cos it ain't a rubbish song... :?
