    I liked them. Saw them four times opening for Pearl Jam on this tour. Just listening to some of the studio work is, and they sound so different live! A lot more intense. But yes, I really liked them and will be checking out more of their stuff.

    MMJ think we havent heard from david gilmour. Their lame "atmosferic intense rock" almost killed my joy during Madrid. And speaking about Wolfmother: Why did ed and mike come out and play with the aussies? I dindt see them do that for MMJ. so....

    That statement is about the equivalent of saying "PJ thinks we haven't heard from The Who or Neil Young" and sounds totally asinine. I can understand that MMJ may not be everyone's taste, nor is Pearl Jam, but there is huge respect for both bands among fans and critics, and people who make unintelligent statements like this just immediately shred their own credibility. For example, I don't go crazy for Arcade Fire like many do, but I can see why people would. Just not my taste. Wolfmother is very simple and doesn't take much thought or effort to get into, I can see why you would like them. Wolfmother thinks we haven't heard from Black Sabbath or Zeppelin before.

    Also, Ed came out and played "It Makes No Difference" with MMJ several times during the U.S. tour.

    I didn't know much about MMJ until recently. They opened for PJ in Hartford and I missed the set tailgating. However in NJ I made a point of seeing them as I knew ed would introduce and play with them as he had on previous nights. I walked out really impressed with them. I decided to check out some of their stuff and got It Still Moves on a recommendation from someone. I was hooked from there. I will say that the stuff they are playing in their short set opening for PJ doesn't do this band justice. Also they seem to be playing the faster stuff perhaps cause of the crowd. The really good MMJ stuff is the acoustic, country rock.

    I love them because they remind me quite a bit of Neil Young, circa Harvest. Very country, very acoustic with high pitch vocals. Jim James uses a reverb effect that makes it sound sort of 3 dimensional, really hypnotizing.

    I have since picked up all four of their albums and love them all. Where has this band been, how could I have missed them? Thanks to PJ for turning me on to them. Im really looking forward to the up coming live cd.

    Also may I recommend to anyone who is interested, there are two live MMJ shows for download on the Bonnaroo download site. I thinks its livebonnaroo.com. Their cheap only $12 I think, awsome stuff. Check out this band, you'll be sorry you didn't.

    i would call it "lame atmospheric rock" cause they're alright, just not my cup of tea. and after reading some of the stuff people had said about em when i saw em play they werent half as bad.

    still, no kings of leon IMO...

    the owner of the absolute truth has spoken! you have to calm down that arrogance dude. On the other hand, you made me laugh, so thanks!


    Sorry to hurt your feelings towards the band. Thinking things twice I envy your tastes... I could have had a better time waiting for PJ... but their lameness was so incredible that i couldnt
