Master of War
Now Playing: Pearl Jam-Masters of War (Which totaly sucks)
As far as I'm concerned, the Pearl Jam version of Masters of Wars sucks a golf ball through a garden hose. I initially heard about the song via Rock and Roll in the Real World. I read the lyrics before I heard the song and I knew that I loved it. It's one of those songs that is timeless. I've heard Dylan's acoustic and live electric versions of the song and they destroy Pearl Jam's shaky wanna-be version hands down any day. It does the lyrics justice. If Dylan and Veder were masters of war, Dylan would be sitting a top a hill staring at the carnage of Veder's wasted army below with wide open crimson eyes and a Nicholson grin. I appreciate Pearl Jam putting forth the message but, at the same time, they don't really do it justice.
