    I understand wanting to go see the videos of the new song played live. I watched them all too. I thought Ed playing the cowbell was rock n roll at its finest. It looked fun and he was into it. Claiming the bands performance sucked based on those videos is, err, a stretch.

    I wasn’t referring to the recording device, though I wish I was.  That performance was rough.  Banging on a cow bell is a better look for Christopher Walken than it is for Ed.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I really liked the live version. Eddie was definitely in to it and he used the chair like a protester making a stand at the end.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    My thoughts on watching/listening to the live version: 

    1. They need to play it live a few more times to work out the kinks in timing
    2. Right now it drags in the middle
    3. I think it's going to be fun by the time I get to see it this summer

    Agreed on all 3 accounts especially number 2.

    The song from Saturday is the exact same as the song from last night. There is zero difference. If anything it’s bitrate thing. 
    agree

    Producers suck
    Every pj album should say pearl jam produced it
    Its like me saying i wrote the even flow solo
    well, actually, it's not like that at all.

    producers are like project managers. but some producers go so far as to consider themselves part of the band. I've heard BoB say "we" and "our album" way too many times over the years. Bugs me. 
    The band has made comments before stating that he’s essentially the 6th member (7th if you count Boom) of the band. Said as much at PJ20 if I’m recalling correctly. 

    I dig BO’B, but certainly appreciate the records where the used a diff prod. Vary it up a bit.

    Watched the live version and man I can’t wait to see it live!  It seemed a little rough as it’s the first live performance but it seems like it could absolutely kick ass live. Can’t deny me!!

    U know what i like about this song?  There’s a loose feeling in it at times.  Maybe im not describing it right but i like that.

    Yes. That’s a perfect way to describe it. I like it. A lot. Much better than a Future Days type song.

    I’m not 100% sold on the song quite yet, but I haven’t been able to get it out of my head for days now! So I guess that’s a good sign.

    I also really liked what Eddie did with his voice in the live version, like he wasn’t trying quite as hard or something so it didn’t sound so strained. And the cowbell chair brings it to a whole new level of awesome, something about that made me want to start head banging in my living room.

    The verse is ok, but the chorus sounds like they had no idea on where it should go. Also the transition does not sound natural.

    I don't think I've ever seen a Pearl Jam song trashed this hard on YouTube. This is definitely a hardcore-fan-only track and even I think it sucks.

    This was an OK track for an annual single..
    but to include it in the new album too, and even make it the first single off it? Sometimes I think this band likes to sabotage itself. Or they simply know their fans will eat everything. I'm one of them, I admit it, already know this song by heart, learned the lyrics and played it on guitar. But let's be honest for a second: how many of you people would have given this song a second listen if this wasn't PJ? I know I wouldn't. But it's PJ and I MUST like it. We all have a problem.
    Right now I'm hoping the rest of the upcoming album is really good, and that I will not be forced (by myself) to like it just because it's PJ.

    I have no idea why so many people don't like it... I love it

    To me it's a fresh sound for the band, and after the last 2 formulaic albums we needed something new...
