I think by the time the next album comes around (oh, 10 years) anyone who gave a damn will be long gone.

Hence all of the apocalyptic imagery of the new album, hopefully.

I dont think any of them have specifically stated it wont be on the album but Mike eluded to Ed not being happy with the studio taking of the song and have not really found a place for the song to fit on a record. That could have all changed once they found a direction for the album...

Don't get me started on the long breaks between albums. The band members need to start submitting time sheets to us fans. Hours need to be accounted for. Dock pay when they spend too much time on side projects. I can run a labor productivity analysis and then RM can collectively develop a recommendation to the Curtis Management. This is what responsible shareholders of the band do.

Im still hoping to get that studio version some way, whether its on the album, or maybe a b side, but if they enjoyed playing it live then i wonder what the problem with it was in the studio

This is serious stuff, man. We spend hours and tens of thousands of posts on this board. We pay their bills. We buy their merch. We schedule our vacation and travel around this band. We need answers. They need to get with it, or I'm out.

You realise, that this is a message board where people come to waste time and talk about pearl jam whether that be complaining/whining or praising, all the while being pretty sure no one in the band spends thier time reading this shit right?

If people were gathering here to write pearl jam a sternly worded manifesto detailing all that is wrong with them currently, to deliever to eddie's doorstep then you'd have a point, but i don't think anyones started taking minutes yet. S'all just bullshit.

You've got the sarcasm for this place down though :thumbsup:

And they need to SUBMIT a list of desired producers prior to entering the studio. A RM poll would then solve everything.
