... oh men... this is amazing... i can´t believe you are you, i mean i can´t believe you are here... and me too ! I´d say i love you but the last thing i want you to think about me is that i´m gay... it´s not that i have something against gay people... i respect them and their choices... my family knows that... it´s just not me... by the way Gremmie Out of Control (song) has anything to do with gay ?
... anyway i can´t believe i got to meet you, you know, i really admire you... i mean your work... your songs, the way you seem to think and see life... the way you´ve been fighting against being famous and all... at first i didn´t understand it so well but a few months ago i could get the "Hype" documentary along with the movie "Singles"... in the documentary there was this part of you talking about the music scene going on in seatlle in the 90´s where you explained the reason why you hated so much being famous... it was the first time i heard about other than the grunge music genre going on in seattle... you even talked about reggae i think and how all those groups to you where as good as Pearl Jam and how they should be successful as well... shocking ! I mean, this documentary was filmed in 96.. you were in your 30´s... young, rockstar... and as it seemed instead of being livin´ la vida loca you were like... what about the others? they are as great as i am ? ... again... shocking...
Well, as you can already tell i´m kind of excited, i feel a lot identified with the way you see things and think, i guess... and of course i´m a huge fan... i feel identified with your songs, the lyrics are amazing... i may have seen the unplugged DVD a hundred and fifty times... is it true that after receiving the extract of "The Gossman Project", better know as "The Stone Gossard Demo ´91" you listen to the instrumentals the whole night and while you were surfing in the morning after, the lyrics came to your mind ?? this story is of course a legend... is it true ?
As i said the lyrics... Alive ? this is maybe the song i´ve heard the most, almost autobiographical.. it was at your 17´s, not you 13´s right? how did you handle that news ! ? The way you tell those stories... Black... been there a couple of times... State of Love and Trust... not even in an studio album, except from rearviewmirror and maybe one of the best.. Even Flow... those poor homeless guys asking for a second chance... Jeremy... so repeated story in the US society.. not always with such tragical/traumatic for some ending... Daughter ! how many daughters looking for proud on their mommy´s eyes... Betterman ! so many sons looking for a man who deserves their mothers... autobiographical too right ? I remember once read that you introduced this song on a concert with the words "I dedicate this song to the son of a bitch who married my mom" ... hard, direct, full of anger, priceless ... Porch ! all those relationships ending as we speak... Do the evolution ! Master piece, unforgetable video... so fuckin´ true... Not for you ! this is not for you... Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town... how many people that haven´t seen on a long time... how many of them recognize each other...
There, of course, are a lot more... i mean i have two hundred and nineteen Pearl Jam songs on my iPhone, without counting Temple of the Dog... but what, in the hell, means Yellow Ledbetter... please...it is a mistery for all of us... you changing the lyrics every time you perform it live... there´s no oficial lyrics... althought i found it on the couple of meanings i got from it... outstanding....
... Temple of the Dog.. men, what was it like, i mean making so much history on the music scene in seattle... the word spread all around the world.. you got there from San Diego... and took part of the Temple of the Dog project... with Ament, Gossard, Cornell... you know that Hunger Strike inspired a local peruvian group called "Huelga de Hambre" wich means "Hunger Strike" in spanish... got the impact ? by the way there´s Red Moskito too, another local peruvian group who only does Pearl Jam covers... pretty good... you guys have the position to inspire... you dind´t get to meet Andy Wood right ? if he hasn´t die maybe the story could be a lot different, Mother Love Bone with Gossard and Ament were rockin´ ! Maybe Gossard or Ament can tell me about him... he seem so dark in a couple of pictures i got from the internet... from his Apple album art... althought i read his sense of humor defined him...
... 90´s... it´s kind of sad we don´t get to have more music like 90´s music.... all you hear now is a lot of "moneymaking" bands... with sounds that seem took out from the same guy and guitar... them seem to be scientifically prepared to make money... except for a little bunch of groups like The Killers, King of Lion and maybe Nickelback, only maybe Nickelback... we are doomed to listen poor, very poor music... these day´s songs doesn´t have good music on it, do not have lyrics and of course not even the minimum intention of a good story... that´s the main reason i admire your music... telling everyone stories about normal hardworking, heartbroken, homeless, desease people making its way on this life... you know since i leave my mom´s house to live by my own i opened my blog... by the way i will definitely write about me meeting you... you know a hardworking normal guy meeting a rockstar... and that´s another reason why i admire your music... on my humble blog what i tried to do is tell mainly, of course, my story and what i think about this life we got to live... and how we can make it better... i hope is helping someone... and i´ll be more than glad if you take a peek...
...what was it like singing The Doors music... with The Doors ??? you ever got to meet Mookie Blaylock... your Ten album is called in honor of his NBA number right... ? and you tried to call yourselves Mookie Blaylock... is he that good ? haha and what does Pearl Jam comes from ? your grandmother called Pearl... and make this delicious Jam for you grandfather ? cruel joke men... what does it really comes from ? ...
How about Kurt Cobain, Did you met him?... so sad he has to go like Andy Wood... his voice was priceless... maybe the best unplugged, i´m sorry.... i always compare your Jeremy with their Polly... both horrible 90´s news took to inmortality on your lyrics... doomed to create conscience on the world...
Well men... this was epic... i´m pretty sure later today i´ll think "why in the hell i didn´t ask him this..." so maybe i´ll write... haha keep doing what you do... we appreaciate it... enjoy it...

Exitos !
cambio y fuera...
ta bueno. betterman en realidad habla sobre una relación abusiva de un hombre a una mujer. pero no dice exactamente qué tipo de abuso. y sí, probablemente es autobiográfica.
ResponderEliminarexisten muchísimos grupos buenos ahorita, la cosa es saber buscar. si te gusta killers, podrías darle una mirada a arcade fire, sobre todo el disco funeral. algo un poco más fuerte, chequea them crooked vultures, una mezcla de foo fighters, queens of the stone age y led zeppelin (porque está un foo fighter, un QOTSA y un led zeppelin).
...alguna vez lei que se trataba de su padrastro... que le pegaba a su mama y demas... por lo que la infancia de Vedder no fue la mejor... y como eso se reflejaba un poco en su musica, sobretodo en TEN que habla mucho de desesperacion y tristeza...
ResponderEliminarGracias por los consejos musicales, hare mis investigaciones !! Exitos !
