PEARL JAM PICS

Pearl Jam put on a hell of a live show. If you're a fan it's like a spiritual experience. It's rare to see a band sell out an arena in this day and age and it's even more rare to have the entire place sing along to the majority of their songs. I thought I was sick of songs like Alive and Small Town until I heard Pear Jam perform them in 2009 with the good people of Vancouver as back up singers!

They played a lot of new stuff from their recently released album Backspacer. The great thing about a Pearl Jam show is that they'll play new songs, they'll play some hits, some covers AND songs that fans have come to love over the years without hesitation. NO TWO SHOWS ARE THE SAME.
Here are some pics from their recent concert in Vancouver courtesy of our friend Craig LePan.

Keep in mind to start a full-fledged metal band you need to have experienced one or more of the following:

A) you were beaten by your father with a steel pipe when you were 9

B) you grew up in East Van

C) you listened to KILL 'EM ALL on vinyl so many times that you wore it out and now only use the record as a surface to blaze rails....as in going off the rails on a crazy train!!!!

D) you like to shout at and/ or run with the devil

E) you have a tattoo that was done by your friend (or mom) with a ballpoint pen and a sewing needle after you got hopped up at a Megadeth show in 1985

If you answer all of the above then you starred in the movie FUBAR.

Four or more and you are likely an alcoholic living in Edmonton.

Yes to three and you are a borderline non-metal fan and should BREAK something right now!!!!

Two or less and you are a Backstreet Boy.

Don't like metal? piss off.

Jay.
