Eddie is fucking awesome. What a song! Amazing solo. Real heartfelt shit right there. Everyone in the band firing on all cylinders. Their best song in a loooong time. This song has everything Unlimited Love is missing. It sits up there comfortably with Wet Sand and Don’t Forget Me.

This album is a grower. On first listen I was disappointed. Couldn’t put my finger on it, but the songs seemed to blend together with nothing fantastic. After 6 weeks of listening, It’s a good album. Best songs on the album: She’s a Lover Watchu Thinkin’ White Braids & Pillow Chair Bastards...

Finally got to see Pearl Jam again last night. Great show, great setlist. Matt Cameron was out with Covid so Josh Klinghoffer and Richard Stuverud filled in on drums. Both brought the energy and played amazingly well for less than a day’s notice. They also pulled a guy out of the crowd to play...

Now THAT was a great episode!

Yup, good song. I love the live performance they did on a TV show in 98’.

The Discotheque video did some real damage. People in the US tuned out after that. Chalked it up to U2 is goofy now, and I’m moving on. It didn’t help that they didn’t do any live promo showcasing the songs live. There are some very good songs on the album, but I’m not sure if anything there...

I like the cast on this season, but the production is awful (flashbacks, not enough time at camp, breaking 4th wall, etc…) and there’s way too much advantage stuff going on. I can’t follow all that shit. But I will watch. And complain.

Interesting that they’re playing stadiums in the US. I don’t think they’ve done that before. Went on the Ticketmaster app with the presale yesterday. Santa Clara. Debacle. I only wanted Pit tickets. Kept showing $250 per ticket. Every time I chose it, it came up as someone else for the tickets...

I noticed that too. Not one bad word about Bono. Highly unusual.

I didn’t realize a version of Skyscrapers with Swizz Beats came out about a year ago. https://youtu.be/MsmuBVUkO7Q

Wow. This is a really good song, better than I thought it’d be. Bono sounds great. And, the lyrics and delivery aren’t embarrassing at all.

Chinese Democracy isn’t a true GNR album. It’s Axl N’ Friends. There are some great songs on the album. It suffered in popularity due to the fact they put it out as a “Guns N Roses” album. And, all the horseshit surrounding the recording process, length of time it took, revolving door of...

This is an awesome performance. Pure power. Until The End Of The World shows what U2 is, at the top of their game. Thanks for posting the link. I hadn’t seen this in years!

I was shocked they were all so tight. I don’t even think I saw any cracks.
