Entry: Pearl Jam - the Band - A978915

Grunge survivors.

No one has any comments on this?!?

It's really good!!

I read it earlier but I don't know much about Pearl Jam and was waiting to see what other people would say

If there's any bone to pick, it would be your protest-too-much polemic in the first couple of paragraphs. Not that you're wrong, it's just a bit off-putting for a reader to be faced with a rant at the beginning of what is a very interesting entry! I'd tone it down a bit and modify some of the more emotive terms.

Oh, and some more sub headers would help.

Hmm...I look into it.

How's that?

Worth mentioning perhaps that Mark Arm who was the main man in Mudhoney was also in Green River with two of the Pearl Jam guys?

There you go.

Aha! According to said site, Stone Gossard was in Green River - he took over on guitar from Mark Arm when he decided to do just vocals.

"Eager to start playing again, Arm and Turner teamed up with drummer Alex Vincent, who had played with Turner in a short-lived band called Spluii Numa, and bassist Jeff Ament, who had recently arrived in the Northwest from Montana. When Arm decided he wanted to put down his guitar and concentrate on vocals, Turner asked former-Ducky Boys guitarist Stone Gossard to join the group, and Green River was born. Along with fellow Washingtonians the Melvins, Green River were pioneers of a new Northwest rock sound, merging the snot-nosed sneer of punk with the minor-key thud of heavy metal. It didn't take long for Green River to get noticed on the Seattle rock scene, and in 1985 the band released their first EP, Come On Down. By the time the record hit the streets, Turner had left the band to return to college (he was also growing disenchanted with the harder rock direction the band was following); and with new guitarist Bruce Fairweather, the band set out on a nationwide tour that was little short of disastrous, in large part because a delay in the record's release had the band supporting an album that hadn't come out yet. The band survived to make a second EP, Dry As a Bone, for a new Seattle label, Sub Pop Records, in 1987; but, by the time their first full-length album, Rehab Doll, was released in the summer of 1988, tensions between members of the band caused Green River to split up. Ament and Gossard formed a new band called Mother Love Bone, Fairweather joined Love Battery, and Vincent went to law school."

Again, there you go.

That's what I call service! That's about all I can help you with, unless of course you're going to have a go at converting it to GuideML

Pearl Jam aren't really my

Not too good with the GuideML. Every time I try it the article spazs out on me.

Try it, and if it goes wrong send it to me as a message in my Personal Space and I'll see if I can fix it. I'm not the greatest, but I should be able to work it out, and being technically inadvanced I should be able to explain in laymans terms what went wrong.

I'll try it when I have a spare moment.

Fantastic Entry.

HELL

Thank you.

Yeah, I think the first para is much better now!

Still no GuideML?

You don't need much, just and around the paragraphs and and around the subheaders....

Thought I might leave that to the sub-ed, if that's not too cheeky.
