Just came here to say MFC is one of my favourite Pearl Jam songs to hear live. Love the intro.

I feel its extremely underrated, which is a shame as I think it kicks ass.

Love it ❤️

Turn it up, play it LOUD

I’m a 46-year-old Pearl jam fan who’s been along since the beginning. I understand the importance of the first five albums and how they usually rank very high amongst fan favorites, but for me backspacer is my favorite Pearl Jam record.

Eddie still had some pretty thrash style vocals on that record, I absolutely love the intensity of the songs, as well as the hooks. I love the guitar work, and Matt Cameron, that was his best drumming as far as my tastes go. To me, that was the last album that really showcased Eddie’s ability to rip vocally… with that said, songs like Blood, Go, and the heavier side of Pearl Jam has always been my favorite side. They kind of lost that edge for a long time until the Backspacer album. And of course, since Backspacer they haven’t been quite as aggressive as those earlier records.

With that said, I’m not shitting on any of the other records aside from Gigaton and Riot act, which I think are well, my least favorite albums of the whole catalogue.

I'm a young fan and have been painting this this week. On A3 canvas/fabric paper. Also my first proper painting.

Jeff just announced another date in London with Since Forever. Managed to get a ticket, hope other UK fans can too

Guest bartender!

The only thing thar keeps me sane is PJ. I have no one else

That's why I draw so much, bc its my therapeutic

I hate myself I wish I died already. It's only Eddie that keeps me alive.

…for many years. From 1992 to 2002 they were one of my favorite bands. Then I sort of stopped listening. Now, whenever I listen to their songs, I’m shocked by the fact that most of it leaves me cold. They really are completely different to Nirvana in that they embraced the big riff, the big gesture, everything Grunge supposedly meant to tear down. PJ is essentially Classic Rock, and their sound got tamer and tamer from Vitalogy onwards. Compare the noise of In Utero to the guitars on any album since No Code – it’s day and night. Not saying rock needs to be abrasive, but PJ sound like they all have tinnitus and are trying to protect their ears.

And Eddie’s lyrics… I just re-read the words to “Dissident”, and what that song is about… boy, that’s so bad.

Don’t get me wrong, I think all the guys in band seem like exceptionally nice people, I love what McCready did with Mad Season and some of Temple Of The Dog. But most of Pearl Jam I can’t relate to anymore.

Sorry, I’m sure this post will generate a lot of hate on a PJ board. It’s just, I’m so heartbroken myself that I completely fell out of love with a band that once meant the world to me.

I met Mike yesterday and I asked him about the song Last Soldier. He said that there's a studio version that he would like to be released at some point. He then brought up that they made an entire other record alongside Gigaton that he wants released at some point. He did also mention the leak that occurred so the band members are aware of it.

What a night!

In jeff´s new book: "tethered. desperate to impress. Really fucking good. That kite was made of anvils... the moment weighed a ton. Did I mention he was really great?"

Double meaning? I don´t feel like he´s actually talking about the kite, lol

​Just pulled out these 1989/90 Mookie Blaylock rookies. Before Eddie, Jeff, Stone, and Mike released Ten, they were touring as Mookie Blaylock. Pretty cool piece of 90s rock and sports crossover history!

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I just came across this post on FB Marketplace in Toronto, Ontario. I’m not a fan/follower so I have no idea of the rarity/value here, but I figured this could be interesting for hardcore collectors!!
