I've been a Pearl Jam hater from the beginning, but I was a huge Green River fan back in my Seattle days. I guess I always figurred this might happen. No telling if it'll be good or not, but there is a lot of talent there.
If Fairweather is back in, does that mean Steve Turner is back out? I can't see Steve wanting to play those songs particularly, but he did write "Swallow My Pride" which is arguably their classic tune. I saw Steve getting coffee a few months ago down here in Portland. We went to school together in Bellingham, so it was great to catch up a little.
Crazy that Alex will be back on drums. He's the one who really disappeared, though he's got a garage rock band on My Space who's name I don't remember.
A lot of Pearl Jam fans are likely to be disappointed when they actually hear Green River! Mark's snarl in GR makes his Mudhoney stuff sound slick. As far from Vedder as possible.
