Wow, those guys in Pearl Jam really know how to party! Instead of celebrating their sold-out October gig at the MGM Grand with a blast through "Viva Las Vegas" or some ribald Dean Martin classic, Eddie & Co. choose to commemorate the occasion with a brutally ponderous, seven-hour (er, minute) slog through Mother Love Bone's "Crown Of Thorns". Oh, man, that's just so poignant -- you know, like, as the casino tables and slot machines dash the dreams of suckers up and down the Strip, they're saluting their long-lost friend whose own grandiose hopes were snuffed by an ill-timed heroin overdose. Listen, I'm sorry that Andrew Wood died; if he'd lived, everyone would've had to admit that Mother Love Bone was just a crap commercial boogie-metal band barely a notch above Extreme or Warrant, instead of deifying them in the wake of their singer's premature demise. Not to mention that if he'd lived, there would have been no Temple Of The Dog or Pearl Jam, and Eddie would still be woofing to himself on his surfboard in San Diego, instead of foisting his innermost pain upon us from an arena pulpit. And then, only then, this agonizing, poorly-recorded listening experience (which comes complete with a screechy guitar solo that really wishes it were Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain") would simply never have existed. In other words, kids, just say no to drugs!

Odlično!

This is one of the many reasons Pearl Jam rocks, they have humility, something this A**hole Epstein doesn't have if he is such a hotshot how come, he is a writer and not a rockstar
d.l
This Dan Epstein guy needs to pull out all his Bee Gees albums and play them as he slowly inserts his head back into his ass. Let me guess, this Pearl Jam Crown of Thorns clip is one star, but something from a band that is a blatant rip off (Creed) this band, Pearl Jam, is probably worthy of four or five stars, right? Or if it isn't Creed who deserves the four or five stars, who is it? Brittany Spears, Backstreet Boys? Bands who's labels who send songwriters to make these people's albums for them. Dan Epstein has once again confirmed that when it comes to good music, never listen to what a critic has to say about it.
