Well, she eats Thanksgiving dinner at Jack's house every year and styles Meg's hair, so she probably knows. And I think she had a couple of flings with the manager too...

...not getting my hopes up. the cities of the tour they announced were concentrated in the east. if they did a second leg of the tour it would logically be in the west. but god bless you if you're right.

i'm not too concerned about it either way. i have tickets for the show in charlotte, nc. i'll see them anyways.

Hey, maybe they'll call you when they realize they need a bass player. That would be one thing that might actually make me go to White Stripes show. If, of course, I lived in a place where bands actually played.

i must concur. I think that album is one of the most beautiful things i've heard... especially the fact that track 4 (no, i can't be bothered to learn the song title) puts a female perspective on otherwise typical emo lyrics.

Personally, I would hate it if another person was added onstage for more than a song. The chemistry that the two of the exude while onstage is fascinating enough, I don't want some bass player getting in the way of that...

Plus, they don't have bass on their songs, so why would they need one?

I would rather them rearrange a song (like "There's No Home For You Here") for a two-piece instead of drag another musician onstage. The only time I could overlook more than two musicians onstage would be if they had a full orchestra behind them. That would be interesting...

jack and his octave guitar seem to be doing just fine without any extra help. a bass player is just unnecessary in this band. it would ruin their stage prescence and their sound. they have a chemistry that is perfect without any interference. i think added bass over their simplistic songs would just sound gaudy.

ps-i find it hilarious that every bass player i know hates this band. can't say i blame them...

I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate them. They have some good songs, but they just get boring quickly to me. Not having a bass player doesn't help them keep fresh. I should admit I haven't really heard their new album yet and I know it's supposed to be the best thing since Revolver or whatever.

I TOTALLY AGREE!

Actually it's Jack's guitar through some weird distortion, but still, the album is mixed to where it is bass heavy. I mean, my car bumps to it...it's really weird.

The new album is really good, at times. There are a few songs that I abhor, and others that I adore. It's not my favorite White Stripes album by any means. I don't think any of them are as good as the self-titled album, which is primarily an album of covers. My favorite stuff of theirs is on a cd of non-album songs that I downloaded. Some songs are b-sides and others are live tracks. If they come to Nashville, which no one has confirmed on here yet, then they should play Lafayette Blues and Party of Special Things To Do, both of which are great cover songs.

I totally agree. At times, the ordering is good, but the slow songs have questionable slots. Good observation Carl.

my favorite album is the self-titled one too, richard. though i would argue that it is not an album primarily of covers and that the original stuff is wonderful too. i am a sucker for the dylan cover "one more cup of coffee," though. it is an all-around amazing album.

that said, my ordering of favorite white stripes albums is 1. self-titled 2. elephant 3. de stijl 4. white blood cells.

i love all the b-sides and random cover stuff too. other than the ones you listed, i also enjoy "boll weevil," "hand springs," "baby blue," and that wonderful cover of "ashtray heart." and they do play most of their covers and b-sides regularly at concerts, so maybe you'll get to hear them if this rumored nashville show occurs. if it doesn't, i'll tell you how it went in NC.

and i will admit that i find "well it's true that we love one another" to be highly annoying at times. but i love every other elephant song.

I just started listening to White Stripes, so it is still my least favorite album. "Stop Breaking Down" is a great song and is probably in my top 10 favorite White Stripes songs, though. I think that my fave albums would have to go 1. Elephant 2. De Stijl 3. White Blood Cells 4. White Stripes (only because I haven't given it many proper listenings). My favorite non-album tracks would have to be "Jolene" and the Peel sessions' "Astro/Jack The Ripper." I find that version of "Astro" to be far superior to the album version and, man, "Jack The Ripper" is amazing. I am way too excited about this concert...

It's one of the album's highlights, in my opinion. I just think it is very cute and silly. I also really like all the lyrics and just the way it flows. It is a great ending to the album, but it is no "This Protector" or "Your Southern Can Is Mine."

I think that "There's No Home For You Hear" resembles "Dead Leaves & The Dirty Ground" a tad. Just the hook that starts off that then turns into a very quiet verse, and they have the same sound when the hook turns into the verse...

HA. Hardly.

I do love The White Stripes, and if they were to come to Nashville, I would be very very excited. I think my favorite album is their self-titled one, and I love the covers as well as their own songs. I must say the Beefheart covers are among my favorites, and aside from those, my favorite is probably either "Your Southern Can is Mine" or "Astro/Jack the Ripper".

But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?

I find that version of "Astro" to be far superior to the album version and, man, "Jack The Ripper" is amazing.

I traded bootlegs with a guy a year an a half ago and he sent me the Peel Session and a bootleg of the White Stripes (not quite as cool as the Peel Session). I traded him my uber-shitty Strokes bootlegs from TN & AL that were recorded on microcassette. I reiterate: uber-shitty quality. I have since upgraded my bootlegging equipment. Anyway, the "Astro/Jack The Ripper" mix is excellent. I also like the versions of Boll Wievel and Baby Blue that are from that concert. Baby Blue is a great song and I have since found an apprecation for Gene Vincent. There's quite a few Baby Blue 45s at the Great Escape in Madison. Ah, 50's rockabilly.

If they come to Nashville, which no one has confirmed on here yet...

Well, Sina said so. What more do you want?

A date and venue.

i wouldn't give out directions to bingham's house when the features played there so what makes you think i'm gonna give this info up so easily? you know me better than that.
after my front row center stage ticket is secure, i'll be happy to tell all.

until then all you get is

the 29th

I'm a fan of "It's True That We Love One Another" for sure. It's nice and happy, and I always sing along. If someone is in the car with me that likes them as well and knows the song, I make them sing Jack's part while I sing the other two ladies' parts. And, yes, I know that I am a dork.

well, might as well go ahead and post it all...

FROM THE TENNESSEAN:

White Stripes might make live DVD here

Jack and Meg White

Raw rock 'n' blues duo The White Stripes (Haven't heard of 'em? Pick up a Rolling Stone and enter the current millennium) might be coming here for a cool project.

Seems Ryman Auditorium bigwig Pam Matthews is a super-huge fan of Jack and Meg White, and she has been trying to book them into her beloved historic venue for months.

Pam's enthusiasm must've been contagious: After she has talked with the band's ''people'' all this time, The White Stripes now are planning to make a live DVD at the Ryman in late July.

Pam says the two sides are thiiiiiissss close, and a New York video producer will come in the week after Fan Fair to check out the Ryman.

In Nashville's favor: Jack and Meg play hard and loud but off stage, they are uber-fans of classic country music. They often drop Loretta Lynn's name in interviews, and Loretta even sang with the duo recently in New York.

No word on whether Loretta would take part in a possible The White Stripes-hits-Nashville project.

Are you Wigglin?

nope, it's not even on their site yet. they probably won't go on sale for a while, so put your anxiety to rest. my anxiety is just beginning, however, because only 15 more days 'til the charlotte, nc show (not that i'm gloating

)...

Yes, it will sell out in about an hour, Joey.

So Blur tickets and White Stripes tickets go on sale at the same time? Aw shucks.

Those tickets will be gone quicker than Coldplay, which only took about two hours or something ridiculous like that. I'm putting money on 10 minutes.

I felt your pain for little while at that show...

But It was nothing sheer of a miracle why that pain ended after rufus wainwright's set.

Anyway the ryman does have a few bad places to sit.. especially if your 4 inches away from being a midget like me.

online or in-line... i've never actually tried to get tickets for a concert in this great of demand-or with so little seating, but i do know in my experience w/titans tickets that ticketmaster online likes to freeze up when a lot of people are trying to use it. (see, i don't camp out just for fun

) if this is also the case here, i would suggest actually going to a ticketmaster outlet in kroger or heichts(sp). there you will have a a real person with a guaranteed connection to the ticketmaster database. of course, i'm sure there is a greater volume of fanatical titans fans in tennessee than there are for the white stripes so the www. might be ok

there isn't much difference. I work at gaylord ent center and when people buy tickets for our events the only difference is we don't add on as much service charges as Kroger.

Yes- we went to the Ryman for Cake/Beulah tickets and they opened the box office a few minutes before Ticketmaster and there was no one else there, so we got front row seats. Yip!

I would assume using a computer with a fast internet connection would be the best way to purchase tickets, since there should be long lines at all ticket outlets. However, if the site likes to freeze, that could be bad news for buying them online. I am confident that the site won't screw up, though.

i got seats off to the left and and right under the balcony. not the best seats in the world, but i'm satisfied. rachel, how the hell did you get 5th row?! i was only a little ways back from you in line! well, congrats anyways. i'm not complaining ( ::coughfirstrowincharlottecoughcough:: ). i brought my pictures from the NC concert to show you, rachel, but i don't think the few people in front of me would've appreciated me jumping up there very much. perhaps you will see them on a later date.

well its really seventh row but since the first two rows are for cameras im going to call it fifth row. wanna know why i got fifth row, hss? because i made a little wish on my lucky goldfish for a seat in the first five rows before i went in. and i wish id known you had brought pictures or i wouldve hung around a little longer. oh well, some other time.

how does the presale ticket thing work?

yesterday, the buzz presold 100 tickets to listeners that knew the "password" they had announced earlier. these tickets were sold on the buzz website and from what i've heard were located all around the venue, not just up front. sure wish i had been in tn to hear about it

. . . not that i'm one to complain or anything

and yea, i still hate you rachel

presale tickets sold out in two minutes...did they not? there were only 100. i never do presale. i've had too many friends who've had bad experiences (ie: crappy seats) with it.

getting at the ryman really early was definitely the way to go about it. after you got your tickets, there was a few ryman employees with seating charts to show you where your seats are. the ryman lady showed this one guy how close he was going to be by taking a few steps back from him, holding her arms out and saying "this is how close you'll be!" and he wasn't even first in line.

well, if the first two rows are for cameras, that puts digsy and i somewhere around row 10. they look like pretty good seats.

i dunno if this is already widely known or what, but buried under a ton of crap, the ryman has this info listed for the concert:

White Stripes
With Whirlwind Heat
Tuesday, July 29 at 7:30 pm
$34.50
Tickets On Sale Next Friday, June 20 at 10 am

Anyone think it'll sell out in a day?

Yes, it will sell out in about an hour, Joey.

Those tickets will be gone quicker than Coldplay, which only took about two hours or something ridiculous like that. I'm putting money on 10 minutes.

you're my new role model in life man, a 15 min sell out and ticketmaster.com worked like a charm. ever thought of marketing yourself as the next "miss cleo" ?

everyone go sell your copy of the new white stripes record and buy the new verbena record that came out today. thank me later.

you know, i saw a stack of verbena stickers for free at cat's music. i knew i remembered hearing from someone, somewhere that they were good, but i couldn't remember for the life of me where i heard it. being the considerate, kind-natured person that i am, i grabbed some of them, just in case. anyway, if anyone is in need of a stack of verbena stickers, let me know...

and stalker, did you get tickets to the nashville show???

lollapalooza was NOT a bad decision!! i have never been and want to go. besides, i would like to see Jane's Addiction before i die. plus seeing incubus and queens of the stone age are other reasons.

yes modest mouse can get away with it.. the tickets were 21 plus 4 dollar service charge.i'm very excited about this show.

i was looking at vinyl editions of "Elephant" on ebay today and they're awesome (keep in mind that i'm new to thel world of vinyl) !!! it's a two disc set and one is red vinyl and another is white vinyl. . . very cool in my opnion. ohh yea meg is also wearing a black dress on the cover art instead of a white one.

and smee, you're right, anyone with extra tickets to this has a potential goldmine. . . our dear friend rachel could prolly haul in around $400+ for her 3 "almost front row" tickets.

don't kill the messenger if this happens to be true, but it appears as if The Flaming Lips, Beck, and Loretta Lynn will be performing at the White Stripes concert as well

A radio station out of Kansas City is giving away tickets to the Nashville show and lists these bands as special guests. This info was "word-of-mouth" so i emailed them earlier to be sure. Just got a response saying "That's what we've been told!" so looks like this concert could rock even more than originally thought. . .

Kansas City, eh?? Sounds a little too remote, too unofficial, and too random. I'll believe it when a more credible source spills this. Until then, I won't get my hopes up.

And I'm still pissed at the Flaming Lips.

I think Renee Zellweger is very pretty, especially in "Chicago." And if they are dating, who cares, really? I mean, he said that she knows a lot about the human skull in his Q magazine interview, and that's all he needs.

all i can say for renee is that she has, in the past couple years, dressed really really well despite her malnourished body. her face just looks weird ever since she lost all of that weight. she was much hotter in empire records than she is now.

yeah, who cares?! All I know is that I'd do them both. Oops, did I say that outloud?!

dance your cares away...worries for another day.

Jack White's Broken Finger...

is anyone else a little concerned about this (reguarding any possible cancellations of the ryman show, of course)?

*they've already cancelled two festival dates.

Surely a fractured finger will be healed after 3 weeks. I hope. And they've only canceled one show so far. When they start canceling others then I will get worried.

You can play that slide with a broken finger, no problem. In fact, I think that's how Duane Allman learned how.

I don't know...a broken hand ruined Marty McFly's chance to be a rock star, and he's 4x the man that Jack White is.

I honestly don't share Rachel's enthusiasm, especially since it was a compound fracture on his most important finger for playing guitar.

For now, I'll file it with that rumor about the Lips and Beck.

Uh oh:

White Stripes show on hold after car wreck

From Tennessean music writer Peter Cooper:

Yikes. White Stripes' guitar man Jack White suffered a fracture in his left hand in an automobile accident Wednesday. He was driving in Detroit with girlfriend, Renee Zellweger, when another car reportedly ran into him.

Renee was not hurt, and Jack escaped major injury. The problem is that when you are a guitar player in a band that's composed solely of guitar and drums, a break in your hand puts you out of commission.

Again, yikes. And dang.

Thus, the White Stripes' sold-out July 29 engagement at the Ryman Auditorium is now postponed. Ryman General Manager Pam Matthews says September, October or November are likely months for the show. All tickets for the July 29 date will be honored at the rescheduled date.

Well, of course. I guess I should just always count on the lead man from every band that I love, who has scheduled a show to which I have tickets, to break some part of his body and either cancel or postpone the show. This is just great. ...the one thing I've been looking forward to...since The Features don't like to play shows I can get into.

But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?

I'm not too bummed that this show has been postponed. I love the autumn season so much more than summer that it will be nice to see them then. It would be great if they could play on a Fri. or Sat. night, though, instead of on a school night. It will really suck having a bedtime again in a few weeks.

I'm looking forward to a bedtime. I'm straight up nocturnal now. I could always set my alarm but theres nothing to do at 8 in the morning.

I'm pretty ready to go back, actually. I'm just so anxious to see everyone and find out my new schedule and go back to school shopping, etc. School was so fun for me last year because being a freshmen meant I had almost no work. Now I'm scared it'll be different this year and I might actually have to do homework ahhh...

to commemorate the abscence of the concert this tuesday, i thought it would be appropriate to share with you...
the woman who is always smelling a bad smell and johnny depp?...

so, i have been wondering if we'll still get whirlwind heat as a opener or if we'll get someone exciting and new. yeah yeah yeahs, soledad brothers, and the dirtbombs have all opened for the stripes before. they would all be a plus in my book...not that whirlwind heat is a minus, i've just already seen them. maybe i should do some research and see who is a probability...

I'm much more concerned with:

2) Will they still be filming an historic DVD?
3) Will they rescedule when I'm out of town at a conference or a Radiohead show?

Being a longtime resident of Murfreesboro, our neighbors to the north are always an open target for comedy. Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of decent people from that area (one of my roommates is from Lavergne), but there are many residents that fall into the aforementioned thug trash categories.

I'm curious to what everyone here thinks of the impact of Jack's injury on the White Stripes' future. Do you think, like I do, that this has happened at an extremely crucial point in their career when they are emerging as superstars? (Personally, I'm not as jazzed about them as I was a month ago when I let the Elephant hype get to me.)

Is this the crucial event that seals their long-predicted fate as a flash-in-the-pan flavor-of-the-month? Will the mindless masses allow themselves to hate the band for cancelling/postponing the shows? Or will Jack and Meg get through this with "the blessings of God" like Mr. White says?

Thoughts? (Maybe this should have been a poll...)

Of course they're going to be a flash in the pan to the general public. Isn't everything, though? Somebody new will come along in a short while and the average cool kid will move on from The White Stripes, like they have now from The Strokes. Of course, there will still be the major fans, like me, who will always listen to their music. Or at least, that's how I look at it. Everything's a fad to some extent.

No, I mean, they're not all the hype right now like The White Stripes are. And soon, I feel The White Stripes won't be all the hype like the next "it" band...and so on and so on.

If you're irregular for loving The Strokes, then I'm as irregular as...something really irregular.

i think that your prediction is spot on, sadie, so i agree (gasp!). people will forget about them and the fans not turned on or turned off by the elephant hype (and perhaps a few others) will remain dedicated.

i'll admit that it's been really odd having "the average cool kid" (and by that i mean middle school-too-big-for-their-britches- badasses, you know the type) rave about how they just bought one of your favorite band's new cd. in all honesty, it's frustrating at times...because it's these kind of fans (or perhaps the hype that draws them) that makes it impossible for me not to get shit about "actually liking that extremely overrated band." but i know that method of thinking is selfish and dumb. every fan is a good fan, right? or are they?

and about the broken finger timing thing, i think it'll be okay. perhaps this will end up speeding up the process of helping people "get over them." of course this is coming from someone who is optimistic enough to think they'll still pick up the nashville date. and someone who saw them last month in case they don't.

let's not compare the strokes to the white stripes.

i mean, come on, how many records have they put out again?

"oh my god, i'm such a huge fan. i have all your album."

still, i think they're so much cooler than jack white. he's an odd cat. I can't say I'd like to hang out with him.

on the recent "cool" list that Spin put out, Jack White was named the coolest person in rock. Numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were the Strokes......poor Carlos D was number 11. Paul Banks was in the lower regions of the list......that man has a very large amount of moles on his face.....

i think the strokes and interpol are pretty much on level playing grounds. i don't think i could pick a favorite....well, yeah, it's probably the strokes...but it's a really close call.

I love interpol just as much as the strokes if not more...

But I still contend that the strokes are much, much cooler than the white stripes, just as interpol is much, much cooler than the white stripes... even though I love the white stripes' music.

i'm not too wound up yet, because surely nashville will be one of the dates that they will be able to reschedule, what with it being so special and all.

why am i always so wrong?

supposedly the tennessean will be running an article tomorrow announcing the cancellation of the ryman show, with information on ticket refunds and everything.

maybe something will happen between now and then...? or maybe it's all a big mistake...? i guess we'll find out soon enough.

So, Jack and Meg were able to reschedule 9 of their postponed shows. The only 2 shows they "couldn't reschedule" were Norfolk, VA and Nashville, TN. Never fear, for they promise they'll get here as soon as possible.

If this is true...

for those who don't believe it 'til they see it...from the tennessean:

_____________________________________

The White Stripes wave the white flag

Bad news: The White Stripes concert/DVD taping at the Ryman, already postponed, has been officially canceled.

Seems Jack White is still struggling with the car crash that broke his hand.

Late last week, Jack told NME.com: ''A bone in the index finger of my fretting hand was shattered in an automobile accident, making it absolutely impossible to play guitar, especially since I've been instructed by doctors that there is no way I can move my wrist until it is completely healed.

''The break did not heal properly, and surgery had to be performed. Three screws were placed in my finger to set the bones and ensure complete recovery, three screws that will remain in my hand for life.''

Yuck.

The Ryman folks still are hopeful there will be a Stripes concert/taping next year, but no one's sure what will happen with Jack and his hand. Meanwhile, if you bought tix for the July 29 show, your credit card is automatically being credited.

____________________________

i paid in cash at the ryman...so i guess that means i have to go all the way down there for a refund? great.

Actually, it's probably more common than you realize. A friend of mine has screws in his hand and, while you can feel them, it really doesn't bother him that much.

The only question is how long it'll take for that pu**y Jack White to heal.

yeah, i'd say the oddest thing about it is the fact that he has his music playing in the background... i'm wondering who requested that one... and i'd be willing to bet it was that wanker jack himself...

You know, they've had 6 (very successful) albums since then. Yet they still don't consider themselves rock stars and refuse a lot of publicity in mainstream media. Let's see if Interpol (or the White Stripes or the Strokes) can say that in a decade from now.

Okay, I'm starting to sound really old. I'll shut up now.

You have nothing to be ashamed of, Carl. Though I don't think that Pearl Jam has made a great album since Vs., or even a decent one since Yield, I still really respect them as a band. They're a class act.

Pearl Jam's Vitalogy is awesome. I've enjoyed nearly every album by Pearl Jam, but I won't comment too much seeing as I only own Vitalogy and Ten.

Oops, you're right. Vitalogy was the last really great one. I was seeing that one in my head, but thought the title was Vs. Still how long has it been since then, 8 years? 10 years?

Ten, Vs., and Vitalogy came out in 91, 93, and 94, respectively. While I feel Ten is somewhat "dated" (mostly due to the fact that I associate that album with my entire high school experience), I think Vs. is still a relevant album today-- a decade later. While I agree that they peaked with their second album, I think No Code is very underrated and Riot Act is somewhat of a return to the good old days. I could do without Yeild and Bianaural as whole albums (although there are some killer songs there, especially on the former). I believe Pearl Jam was just as instrumental as Nirvana in changing the face of modern rock. Okay, now I'm really sounding old.

I believe Pearl Jam was just as instrumental as Nirvana in changing the face of modern rock. Okay, now I'm really sounding old.

I'll agree with you there. I can handle some of Vs. I can do without all of the rest of it though, esp. their cover of "Last Kiss."

Yeah, I didn't care for that either. That just seems like a song that should be left alone. Pearl Jam did do a great cover of the High Numbers' "Leavin' Here," though.

Here's what I want to know... when did PJ cross that line into indie cred? Back in my day (pull up a pillow kids... Peace Frog is on another ramble) PJ was kinda regarded as the Creed (I will acknowledge that Creed is a total PJ rip off) of the day. Granted they had a killer album and some great songs, but there was a definite "They try to hard" attitude about them.

Of the "popular" bands of the time (include Pumpkins. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains in that) they had the least cred to music fans (college aged fans that is). If someone was into Pumpkins or Nirvana at the time, you could logically assume they were digging deeper into the music.

Much like today. I would think it is fair to say a Travis listener enjoys Travis and Coldplay's hits. A Coldplay fan is generally someone that will be digging deeper into the music and finding other bands. Just my rant here. But it seems like PJ has outlived their own stigma. Could this mean that Limp Bizkit or Puddle of Mud will be seen as the last bastions of their music in 15 years? I shudder at that thought.

Before I get pounced on, I'll have to admit. I do enjoy the PJ now. I even paid to go see them back in 2000 when they were here with Sonic Youth (under the guise of seeing Sonic Youth "one more time" of course, but I was singing along with PJ) Just a random thought from the resident Geezer on the board. Carry-on... ignore me as usual. LOL

Peace Out.

I would take a wild stab and say: when they started doing all that stuff with Neil Young. Also, refusing to have videos on MTV is pretty indie-rock. They slipped with "Do the Evolution", but you can't go wrong with a McFarlane cartoon video (unless you're Korn).

I have always loved PJ and have never been ashamed of the fact, despite the fact that most people consider them fratrock. I will point out that I was one of those snotty high school kids when they hit it big. You're just old and don't know what you're talking about.

I will agree that "Leaving Here" is badass. One of my favorite covers of theirs. Seeing them perform it with Sleater-Kinney was pretty rad (although it sounded like shit).

Creed will never be cool.

Maybe I was just completely unaware, but I kind of always saw Pearl Jam and Nirvana on the same level as far as credibility back in the day. I mean, they both were constantly on MTV and on the cover of Rolling Stone, not to mention People and Time. They both were selling millions of records. They were both the torchbearers of "grunge." And they both acted like they hated every minute of it...and isn't that what indie cred is all about?

I think that comparing Pearl Jam to Creed is completely unfair on so many levels.

Ok Ok Ok I take back the Creed comment. My point of it was that back in the day, Pearl Jam was playing the shoe gazing but secretly enjoyed it. How do I know? I don't. That's just the general feeling. I do vaguely remember some article about Eddie Vedder coming to Seattle to become famous (and there is noting wrong with that). If you want to really hear what the grunge sound was pre-PJ, take a listen to Mother Love Bone and Green River. Of course I'm probably not telling anyone here anything new, but I kinda think the perception of the time was that Vedder came into the that band and for better or worse said "hey we got a good thing going lets make it a bit more accessible."

I do like Pearl Jam alot. I don't know how else to put it except in this corn-ball way: There were two camps back then. Nirvana people and PJ people. Those were the point bands, and your musical taste flowed down from there. Gettng ever increasingly apart the further down the list you went. It was stupid at the time, and now that some time has passed its fun to go back and revisit. Obviously I was in the Nirvana camp, mostly because I could see where their musical lineage was from the punk I listened to in middle school and HS. PJ's sound was more from the metal side of things. I actually find that I enjoy the PJ stuff more as I get older (maybe its the VH-1 seeping into my brain). I'm not trying to offend anyone at all. Just giving a bit of perspective to the whole enchilada. You young whipper-snappers should listen to your elders ramblings with less eye-rolling!!!

I wouldn't necessarily say that is what indie cred is all about. By the time you hit the level that Nirvana and PJ hit, there is no indie about you anymore. I'm sure that comment will spur endless arguments on indie cred but i'd say the indie cred is more on the fan side of things.

You believe that the person or band has held out to his/her/its core beliefs thru the corporate compromises they are now having to make.

As far as hating every minute of it all I can say is one of them certainly did. I saw it firsthand with my own two eyes.

I do think PJ may have played "the game" better. They are still around, and they have enough clout now that they are making the records that they want to make.

I think Nirvana might have tried that a bit to early with In Utero, and who knows, maybe that was the straw that broke Cobain's back. The backlash that that album generated at the time of its release was incredible.

I always liked Nirvana just a little bit better than Pearl Jam, but I liked Pearl Jam a whole lot, so I don't know which camp I would've been in. I was a huge fan of both.

i agree.

as a huge nirvana fan (which i associate with my entire middle school and jr high experience) i remember seeing pearl jam come out and the kids that they attracted (the kids that were listening to either metallica or mc hammer the day before and thought i was weeeiirrrrrddd) and thinking "yr fucking kidding me."

pearl jam was a joke to me from the get go. and i loved how the oppressing kids suddenly became the oppressed kids after the jeremy video came out. "whaaawhhaaa i can't take my 13 year old life anymore, its so hardddd. tag football? my house? ok. wait, but i'm soo deep. jeremy spoke in class today. now that's deep."

Explain to me exactly how Eddie Vedder was riding Kurt's coattails, please. Do you mean musically? Pearl Jam's music has always been very different from Nirvana's, hasn't it? If you hate Eddie, that's fine, but I don't think you can really accuse him of "riding Kurt Cobain's coattails."

I like Eddie Vedder on Mike Watt's "Ballhog or Tugboat" album. The tour he did in a three-piece band with Watt and Dave Grohl makes him a lot cooler in my mind.

Hey, maybe they'll call you when they realize they need a bass player. That would be one thing that might actually make me go to White Stripes show. If, of course, I lived in a place where bands actually played.
