@mielcarz have you seen Fishman's opinions about them?

@chris are they different from when they called Champagne Supernova the song you hear when you get to hell?

@mielcarz pretty much that, but in more detail

@chris If you can track it down I'd love to see it!

@chris That's great! Don't like to see Pearl Jam catching strays at the end though.

@mielcarz @chris I am beyond fine with Fishman not liking Pearl Jam and feel no need to defend them, but calling them "formulated riffs" is a good way to say you haven't listened to them much because their output is all over the fucking map - way more than almost any other rock band of the last 35 years that has attained their level of success (which admittedly is a very short list)

@drewphish @mielcarz @chris I think Fish might change his tune on some of this with a more recent interview. Like most of us, the band (or at least Trey) has taken a broader view of what is good music. Trashing someone like Madonna who resonates on such a grand scale and created a soundtrack for so many people’s lives just seems silly. Same with Pearl Jam. This isn’t to say popular = great. Some pop might as well be manufactured in a lab. That doesn’t apply here.
