I know this is probably old stuff to many, but I just learned about it after watching
Seether on DirecTV's Guitar Center Sessions and then digging around their wiki discography.
They covered it on their live album.

BTW, they absolutely raved about working with Brendan O'Brien on their latest album.

Good stuff...

    pretty decent live band too. I've seen them a couple of times and they always play some sort of grunge cover - haven't seen a PJ yet though

    I've been in love with (the original) Immortality lately, and every time the Seether version comes up on Pandora or some other radio I just get angry that it's not Pearl Jam and skip it. Boo, other bands, booooo!!!

    Never liked Seether. There another cheesy rock band like Shinedown and Thornley. Lame lyrics, cheap riffs. Just my opinion. They did a good job with that Immortality cover though. The song is so good and easy to play its hard to fuck up if you remember all of the lyrics.

    Seether is a pretty solid band, I've seen them a couple times. Although their albums just keep getting more and more over produced ever since karma and effect.

    don't ever speak ill of the Mightly Ian Thornley! Those crappy post-grunge bands aren't anywhere in his league. He's a totally different animal, very talented song writer. And he's restarted Big Wreck, don'tcha know.

    I liked Seether until they started churning out the same forumlaic overproduced nonsense every album (as another poster said). I saw them a few times, once headlining a theatre (and they played Immortality acoustic, which was awesome), and once opening for Audioslave in an arena. If I closed by eyes I could have sworn a Kurt Cobain immitator was on stage. That lead singer is to Nirvana what Scott Stapp is to Pearl Jam. I know that he genuinely idolizes Kurt, but come on, to even copy the logo from In Utero for your stage props? And dye your hair red in the same way the Kurt did? That's a bit much. I mean, there's there's flattery by way of imitation, and then there's downright creepy copying.

    Sorry, i really dug allot of the music on Thronleys first album but his lyrics are extremely cheezy! Dont even get me started on his second album. Talk about over produced and poppy. And i liked allot of big wrecks stuff, but the lyrics again are sooo cheezy.

    "How can you walk around, With your feet up off the ground, take a look around, look what i found."

    Thats gotta be one of the worst chorus' I've ever heard.

    Again this is all just my opinion.

    weird, I don't really find his lyrics cheesy. and you're right, Tiny Pictures was nothing like the first record, but I think that's why he left 604 records, to get away from Chad Kroeger and his meddling n his songs. I LOVED the first Thornley record, because it was heavy Big Wreck. I look forward to the Big Wreck record coming out.

    yeah, to me he's like the canadian chris cornell.

    I don't know. the new single has been available on itunes for a bit, but last time I checked the website there was no release information. just a home page.

    Seether is horrible. Can't tell them from nickelback or shinedown. Same boring formula every song, guy crying about his suck ass life. How can musicians with such good influences create such garbage?

    I always liked how Seether was influenced by Grunge bands and cover them from time to time. They are a good live band too. The dvd "one cold night" is really good. (It has the immortality cover on it). I've only seen Seether once, and they are good. They covered "heart shaped box" when I saw them.

    I love this place. :lol:

    No one can cover a Pearl Jam song because it will suck or the band doing it sucks. But the second Pearl Jam covers another bands song it instantly becomes better than the original.

    nice. :roll:

    dude, you get that with ANY band that has passionate fans. DMB fans are downright bullish about that band. I don't like that band, but I understand, from feeling the same about PJ, WHY they feel that way.
