Me meto un tiro,
¡Pum!
El eco suena,
¡Pum!
O quizás es el corazón,
¡Pum!
Que todavía sueña.

¿Es The Lucky Onesdonde dejas de tocar la guitarra o la sigues tocando en este disco Toco la guitarra en cuatro de las diez canciones. Realmente me encanta poder saltar por todos lados y no tocar la guitarra… pero a veces me gusta tocarla. Inicialmente Steve [Turner] me insistió en que tocase la guitarra cuando estaba en una banda con él, en Green River. Ambos tocamos la guitarra en  [Mr. Epp and The Calculations], y creo que él quería mantenerme un poco controlado. Aúnque sin embargo, en los primeros días de Mudhoney, íbamos agitando al público con nuestras guitarras, pero después de un tiempo dejas de hacer eso porque duele.

IN ENGLISH

Is this like The Lucky Ones where you’re putting down the guitar or are you playing on this album?
I play guitar on four songs out of the ten. I really like being able to hop around and not play guitar…but I also like playing guitar. Initially Steve [Turner] kinda insisted that I play guitar when I was in a band with him before Green River; We both played guitar in that band [Mr. Epp and The Calculations], and I think he wanted to tether me down a little bit. Still though, in the early days of Mudhoney, we’d go flailing into the crowd with our guitars, but after a while you stop doing that ’cause it hurts.

Dave Grohl: “Meg White is one of my favorite drummers”

«Escuchas a John Bonham y su forma no era metrónomica pero era legendaria. Keith Moon tocaba como si estuviera quemándose. Era un batería salvaje. Era chapucero y jodidamente frenético y maníaco, pero eso es The Who. Stewart Copeland, su tempo despegaba como un puto transbordador espacial, pero así son The Police

«Hoy en día a un chaval le podría ser complicado encontrar un batería favorito porque mucha de esa personalidad de esos músicos está siendo robada por la perfección y eso es un coñazo. Es bonito oír baterías como Meg White – una de mis baterías favoritas de todos los tiempos. Nadie toca la batería así. O el tío de The Black Keys. Mira tocar la batería a ese tío – es una locura. El tío de Vampire Weekend. Si alguno de ellos fuese a la Berklee School of Music no les aceptarían, porque no se les considera técnicamente aptos. Pero su música ha cambiado el mundo totalmente.»

IN ENGLISH

You listen to John Bonham, and his feel was not metronomic, but it was legendary. Keith Moon played like he was on fire. He was a wild drummer. He was sloppy and he was fuckin’ frenetic and manic, but that’s the Who. Stewart Copeland, his tempo would fuckin’ blast off like the space shuttle, but that’s the Police. Nowadays, I think it could be hard for a kid to find a favorite drummer, because a lot of that personality is being robbed from these musicians for the sake of perfection, and it’s kind of a drag. It’s nice to hear drummers like Meg White – one of my favorite fucking drummers of all time. Like, nobody fuckin’ plays the drums like that. Or the guy from the Black Keys. Watch that guy play the drums – it’s crazy. The dude from Vampire Weekend. Like, if any of those people went to the Berklee School of Music they’d never be accepted, because they’re not considered technically proficient. But their music’s totally changed the world.

‘New’ Pre-Pearl Jam Eddie Vedder Demos Discovered

Antiquiet ha colgado (y también permite descargarlas) 13 demos de Eddie Vedder de antes de la formación de Pearl Jam.

Es posible que los fans más acérrimos de la banda de Seattle conocieran algunos de los temas -grabados entre 1988 y 1989- del vocalista mientras que otros tomaron forma con su banda anterior a Pearl Jam, Bad Radio.

Sin embargo, lo que presenta ahora Antiquiet tiene mejor sonido e incluye algunos temas no oídos anteriormente. Procede de un cassette que Vedder grabó para un compañero de trabajo a finales de 1989 y principios de 1990.

Entre las curiosidades hallamos un cover del “Something Inside So Strong” de Kenny Rogers con un Vedder haciendo un falsete, y otro cover del “Wonderful World” de Sam Cooke.

Las podéis oír aquí o si lo preferís descargar, las tenéis aquí

IN ENGLISH

From 1988 to 1989, future Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder recorded a few four-song demo tapes that are fairly well-known among the hardcore fans. The earliest tapes were solo recordings, and the latter ones came out of recording sessions with his pre-PJ San Diego band Bad Radio. These recordings have made their way over the years, as some of the old cheap tapes that Vedder would buy in bulk made it into the hands of collectors with the tools to digitize them.

In addition to a group of originals (which included a very early version of Betterman), the tapes in circulation also included a somber cover of Bruce Springsteen’s One Step Up, an early indicator of Vedder’s fondness for The Boss.

It’s been a long time since anything “new” has surfaced, but Antiquiet recently came into possession of a direct copy of a tape that Eddie dubbed for a co-worker at his old job at San Diego Petroleum, somewhere in range of late 1989 or early 1990. On it we found thirteen tracks, including a couple entirely “new” recordings (to the PJ fanbase at least), a few familiar ones, and most substantially, far more listenable dubs of both 1989 Bad Radio demos.

In addition to cleaner-sounding recordings than anything we’ve heard before, other gems on the tape worth mentioning are a falsetto-laden karaoke-machine cover of Something Inside So Strong, a track made famous by Kenny Rogers, as well as a brief, lighthearted cover of Sam Cooke’s Wonderful World. Fans seeing I’m Alive on the tracklist shouldn’t confuse the boisterous and rather comical track with Pearl Jam’s signature single Alive, as this particular song takes issue with rap music and profound lyrical expectations rather than an Oedipal tale of a fatherless child.
