WHO YOU ARE single ROCKS!
hadley
I just finished listening to the Who You Are single and I must say, I
can now reinstate my love for Pearl Jam.
I had gone off them recently, because I was a bit tired of listening
to the same albums all the time.
but anyway... back to the single.
Well, I cycled home from town as fast as I could, trying not to kill
my self under speeding cars as I went.
I got home, and drenched in sweat, mostly from the anticipation, I
tried to get the damned shrink wrap off. I tried being delicate at
first and not trash the digipak cover, but My fingernails just didn't
work. Teeth didn't either. after a few minutes of total frustration,
I got a knife and cut the plastic off... should have doen that in the
first place. I went and put the Cd in the stereo, cranked it up, and
sat back. Having never heard the song before, I didn't know what to
expect. But then I heard the drum beats and I knew that from this
moment, my love for the band would never die. It's a totally amazing
song, and all you people who hate it should have your heads examined.
I love the african tribal sounds and stuff. It's awesome! and now we
can all safely say that the band did no wrong in hiring Jack
Irons.... He's definately gonna be helping to shape the bands sound
now. when that song finished I was going off again to HABIT!!!!!!!! I
loved this song on the Chicago 11/7/95 bootleg, but after hearing the
studio version, it wasn't really done justice at the concert. This
song just rocks the house down! You can all hear it for yourselves
though. and then you will understand. Now all those bandwagon jumpers
who said Pearl Jam had gone wussy can grovel at our feet in
repentance!
anyone else got anythoughts on the single itself? or Habit?
and how can Eddie speak as a child of the 90's? :) hmm

That Bad ASS Pearl Jam Fan
Finally!!
Someone with some sense on this board..
This is certainly one of the best songs that Pearl Jam has ever done.
this can be said because this song is also different form what they have
done. The song selection of the single is also apporpriate. They balance
each otehr out, it's like listening to W.M.A. and Animal. They are on the
same album, sung by the same artists, yet These songs are a balance of
the capabilites of this wonderful group. And all those who may complain
about "Eddie's Influence", well, I tell you what, go listen to Mother
Love Bone, and then listen to Bad Radio (old stuff of course) and then
consider whose Influenced who.... It is a collaboration, and all those
who disagee, please answer the question, why are they still together......
The Defiant One.

a bit of a peter pan complex maybe? see "all that's sacred comes from
youth". funny, you'd think he'd learn from his hero pete t., (you're
right, i can't spell it) about statements like that. think "hope i die
before i get old".

probably because music can be written from anyone's view. not
necessarily himself.

Yup, I think so. And Pete was much younger than EV when he wrote that,
so itÕs more understandable that he was a bit short-sighted. It was
already starting to embarrass him by the time he was the age Eddie is
now.

It is unnessary to read so far into the line, "speaking as a child of the
nineties." It is simply a line borrowed from the Mike Watt song, "Against
the Seventies."

That phrase is a parody of Mike Watt saying "Speaking as a child of the
70's" In the song "Against the 70's" that Eddie sang on.

Since Habit makes references to heroin and he seems to be talking to a
heroin addict ("Never thought you'd have it")(i.e. addiction) maybe
"speaking as a child of the nineties" is a reference to all the heroin
use he's seen in Seattle in the nineties (Since this is the "decade of
heroin") as well as making a clever M. Watt reference. Also after
yelling "Never thought you" reapetedly at the end of Habit, does
anyone else hear him say "Never thought ME" the last time, maybe
indicating his own heroin use?
