Always liked this band…they have been off the radar for a few years. Was watching music videos and see they have a new CD out. Anyone have it? I didn’t know Eddie Vedder played a telecaster. Cool. ---

Haven’t heard the new cd, and I’m not really a fan - although I did buy the geratest hits cd that came out a little while ago as I really enjoy some of the singles they released. PJ were billed in a Guitar World (91, I think) just before Nirvana broke (in a grunge band roundup) as a 3 guitar lineup. You can see Vedder playing a Tele in a live clip from saturday night live in “Rear View Mirror” ---

Thanks for the info Willy muchly appreciated. I had no idea he was a tele player, something I don’t associate with the grunge sound. ---

actually, he plays the Schecter Tele copies, I believe… i think he thought he was a member of The Who. ---

I thought that I liked the band too until I bought my son their “greatest hits” CD last XMas. Neither he nor I thought there were only a few songs that were any good. I should point out the my son loves Nirvana (he loved them the first time he heard Kurt sing), Green Day, etc. ---

No. It is pretty wandery and contrived. ---

Always seemed to me that their songwriting got rather lazy after, say, “Vitalogy.” All the reviews I have come across, however, hail this new album as a return to their roots. Let’s hope so. PS, buy The Replacements:Don’t you know you I think I was! Great review of a great band!!!
