i think it's mostly the lighting, but did anyone else think that in okonokos jim looks like a cross between sammy hagar and eddie vedder? watch it again.
now if he could only rock like sammy. kidding.

no
not really... :-/
I can see the similarities.
Like alot of the members of this board, I have seen My Morning Jacket many times.
Only since the release of Okonokos and seeing them last night in Atlanta have I come to the same conclusion. Mostly the Eddie Vedder part. I can't vouch for the Sammy Hagar part, mosly cause he brings negative thoughts to mind. hehe.
Anyway, I haven't listend to or paid any attention to Pearl Jam since Vitology....I'm ready to dig in to what I have missed by them, but I digress.
I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone in seeing a Vedder similarity in ole Jimmy.
Jim's beard > Eddies Beard
Jim's hair > Sammy's hair
all beards are not equal :)
to totally dominate sammy hagar (which he's pretty much done already), jim just needs his own brand of booze. sammy's got cabo wabo. perhaps a nice bourbon.
in unrelated news, looks like nye is sold out. just got my tix in the mail. gonna be amazing.
I see more of a Jeff Tweedy and Vedder
Weird my 3 favorite band's frontmen all have similar characteristics
I don't get it all I see is Jim. Anyone wanna elaborate on what you think is so similar between JJ and Vedder or JJ and Sammy?
I saw MMJ supporting Pearl Jam in Paris this summer, and had never seen MMJ at all before... And for the first few minutes of the set I was trying to work out if Jim was a member of MMJ or if Ed had come on to play with them 8)
Obviously it was dark etc. But it makes me see a similarity between Ed and Jim. I think it's mainly because they are both hairy :)
