mchchef1 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 INSANITY W.A.S.P covering "The Real Me" is the best Who cover I've heard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Ed sounds great, too bad the backing music sounds canned in. i know it's some members of PJ, but it sounds like session musicians those strings are most likely a synth too but besides the almost note for note, tone for tone copy of the original for the most part... good cover Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parrish_10 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 i was skeptical when i heard they were covering one of the most significant songs on the album because this song is sacred to EV. his performance on this song and this last album show this band is nowhere near done making great music. pretty incredible performance by a 40 something that smokes a pack a day. - i'm still a monkey driven fanboy.

solace Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 there's definitely one spot in there where his voice cracks a good deal, but not like Daltrey & Townshend's voices were/are always pristine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rzback543 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 This wont be on the soundtrack for that movie apparently, but will be on the fanclub christmas single. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I heard this last month - while viewing the trailer for the movie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

brittboas Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Is Sandler purposely looking like Dylan in that trailer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Reign Over Me Wow, that looks like it could be the worst movie ever made. And please. Give me Daltrey and Townshend doing that song. Eddie Vedder? Really? I am not a big PJ fan so maybe I am biased, but I don't see it. Sorry to be such a naysayer about this... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imsjry Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Wow, that looks like it could be the worst movie ever made. Agreed. Who is going to want to see that from the trailer?? Is it like the cool new thing to put comedy actors in serious roles? No thanks. As for the song, it is great. How can anyone deny the power of Vedder's voice, even if you aren't into PJ.

MattZ Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 How can anyone deny the power of Vedder's voice, even if you aren't into PJ. In that song? When my only other frame of reference is Daltrey's voice? It's not all that hard. We can agree to disagree though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The song sounds really great. Really. And the movie doesn't look half bad... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I like Pearl Jam - and I have always dug the fact the Eddie is a big Who fan. I can do without Adam Sadler though. For some odd reason. I sort of like that movie Little Nikki though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Serisously, read that description again--out loud--and then ask yourself who in their right mind gave this film the green light. "Its too hot for a penguin to be flying those planes around. Flibbidy-doo!!!! Look at me, I'm crazy 9/11 man, give me some candy!!!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EL the Famous Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 That movie look like one of those things really easy to be cynical about, but I actually think it looks kind of good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 That movie look like one of those things really easy to be cynical about, but I actually think it looks kind of good.same here. Sandler has proven himself to be a lot better actor as of late than a lot of people give him credit for, and i think this role only futhers that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 I saw this trailer in the theater and had no idea it was about 9/11. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My point was not directed at Adam Sandler so much (or Don Cheadle, frankly, who I think is great). My opinion was more directed at the execution (at least in the trailer) which seemed to overflow with cheesiness. This is a movie that's been done 100 times before but is now being done in the context of 9/11 and will just be pitched as the "feel good" movie of the year. Who wants to bet how the movie ends? I know I am being salty, but don't mean to be. The movie seems like a typical big budget easy movie. Looks pretty boring to me. Sandler is grieving, Cheadle drifts away from his wife. Cheadle learns from Sandler and vice versa. Sandler overcomes his demons. Cheadle learns about himself too. We get it. Really, we do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never been a fan of any of Sandler's work but I'm intrigued by this and will see the film.PJ's take on "Reign O'er Me" is pretty damn moving if you ask me.

It does follow a time-tested hollywood blueprint. However, even the indiest of the films can be formulaic if you scratch under the surface enough...it's just all in how you've taken the existing concept and bring it off on film...hopefully, you've put a mark on itthat makes it a little different OR you've just 're-done' it really well.
