"Hearing Alive is one of the greatest musical moments of my life. I heard it and I just wanted to be it. Mother Love Bone, Green River, Brad, Temple of the Dog - I had every single, I bought the bootlegs. Eddie Vedder is one of the greatest living melody writers, up there with Elton John. I want to know what's in his brain, and why he does what he does. Like why does he swoop in like a fucking bald eagle over the guitar part?"

I just love this description. This, as well as the bald eagle soaring over the guitars comment, is about as good a defining of Ed's best moments as exists anywhere.

I've always thought John is a great guitar player, but lately even more so with his ventures into other musical fronts. I thought the trio was a great step foward for him, kinda a big fuck you I don't wanna write wonderland a million times, I wanna do this (insert awsome guitar playing and blues riffs) and the new album lyriclly is pretty good. He writes a lot of "everyday man(or woman)" stuff if that makes sense. I'm rambling, sorry. I would like to see eddie and john colaborate on something though, don't string me up by my balls for that please.

i just like the elton john thing, altough he may be an awesome writer wich i´m not questioning, they can not be compared just by the simple fact that they move around very different music styles.

When an artist I don't like says good things about Pearl Jam, it always makes me feel bad for not liking them. Still doesn't want to make me listen to them, though.

yep... and i think moments like this make you realize that 20, 30, 50 years from now, PJ will be appreciated immensely... much more than they are now

I liked him before, I like him a little more now.
Like him or not, JM is very talented. I happen to like him, those who don't tend to at least respect him. He did a great solo version of Gravity for the Katrina relief concert. GTF was better though.
