How did you break it to your Pearl Jam fan friend that the LP guy is now in STP?

Set your reservations aside and listen with an open mind. If you honestly don't like the new stuff, or don't agree with how they are doing things, that's totally fine. But there's no reason to be hateful. I would say the same goes for anyone mad/disappointed at Scott listening to his new stuff when it comes out.

Everything you said was great!  A calm debate is healthy. 

Yes, all the guys in a legal soirée is a big deal, but it shouldn't color your opinion of the resultant music. 

I've been around in these parts for a very long time (and made contributions).  I'm just trying to chip away at the monkeys shitting in their hands and tossing it around.

Thanks for sharing those videos. The guy can fuckin sing. That performance of I Alone. God damn. Ed K. would be proud.

His vocal range is quite impressive .

[size=78%]And ask you pearl jam friends can eddie vedder sing these songs(except that hunger strike). The answer is no.I know truth hurts. [/size]

Holy shit. It really sounds like you're implying that Eddie Vedder couldn't hold a candle to Chester Bennington. I know Chester's fans are passionate about his talents, but my God, that's delusional.
