Forgot to comment on Rockin in the free world. this is a tired cover. I know it's got new lyrics (which are kind of bad) and Bono (who is really bad), but I think it would have been better to hear another Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Radiohead (hee, hee) or some other kind of cover. Perhaps a cover of a new song by an old band like RHCP or R.E.M.? I don't know, just thinking outloud.

haha, i dont even remember the new lyrics. i just like pointing out that they are ed's lyrics too, b/c when we first heard it everyone was bitching about bono "ruining the song w/ his lyrics" when im sure ed had a say in them.

could be, but i also see Ed as the kinda guy whom just out of respect for Bono just accepts whatever Bono wants him to sing. Anyone remember Springsteen butchering Better Man in 04?

Heh, all the people who think that Bono and the RITFW collaboration suck. Think of this. One day perhaps and I ams ure sometime down the road, Pearl Jam will do a covers album or something crazy like that for fun and just imagine if Ed does a U2 song and changes the lyrics or the way the song sounds. It will be sweet revenge on Bono.

And I kinda liked that thing they did with Bono. And we don't have a good version if it (begging whether or not a good version of that song is possible).
Two good choices this year.
A good version of it can be obtained by ripping the audio from the Make Poverty History DVD.
After downloading this DVD from youkan, I was expecting the worst, but I really didn't mind the version with Bono and the Edge. No, it's not the greatest version, and the lyrics were cheesy, but they needed a big thing to start the show, and PJ and 1/2 of U2 provided it.

Regardless of whoever sang what and even if this was a stellar version of RITFW, it is still fucking RITFW. It is on every other bootleg for the last 4 tours. WTF?!
Giving us a live staple as a Christmas single? I don't get it. Oh and i agree with all of you, that version is just embarassing. It's an afterschool special. A sesame street rerun. So tame and lifeless. Anyway...

w/ all the music they have recorded and not released (yet) its not like they had to go into the studio and record something specifcally for this single...just take one unreleased song from any of their recording sessions and make that the b side especially since there has been no physical singles released from avocado just throw one on there and we'd all be creaming ourselves...they obviously know ritfw was on the web legally when it first happened so just give us sumpin new dammit!!
ps-reign o'er me is a good choice and the lyric change where ed mentions his daughter (or little girl) and protecting her or something like that was sweet but the rest of that song sucked huge hairy big gay balls!! that is all...

my thoughts exactly why would they think we would be anything but disappointed that this contained any version of RITFW

Pearl Jam's annual holiday single for members of its Ten Club fan organization will feature a pair of classic rock covers: the Who's "Love Reign O'er Me" and Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World," recorded live at the Make Poverty History benefit in Melbourne in November with U2's Bono and the Edge guesting.
As first reported here, the Who cover will appear in the upcoming Adam Sandler/Don Cheadle film "Reign Over Me," which opens March 9 in U.S. theaters. It was produced by Brendan O'Brien, his first work with the group since he remixed three songs from the "Ten" album for the 2004 compilation "Rearviewmirror."
Billboard.com understands there will not be a commercially released soundtrack from the film. However, "Love Reign O'er Me," which is marked by a long piano intro and ferocious screaming from frontman Eddie Vedder, has already begun garnering airplay on rock stations such as KISW-Seattle and WMMR-Philadelphia, prompting speculation it may be made available for sale as a digital download at some point in the future.
According to a post on Pearl Jam's Web site, the fan club single will hit mailboxes "sometime in February." Meanwhile, Pearl Jam is rumored to returning to the road this summer, but no details have yet been announced.
