Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Tuolumne]

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.

i think you take your job too seriously.

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

We're on the cusp of taking minutes and sending them to the band. We're almost there, if we just stay a team, we can DO this. I'm trying to be the leader and take ya'll to the promised land.

[harmless]

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

Shut up.

[Strat]

First class delta bravo...

[Tuolumne]

You're being way too serious for this place. Cause all we do is joke around here.

You're doing it wrong.

Awesome! Go for it! Be the change you want to see!

Also, Mike and Ed have basically said that it most likely won't be in it, so.

I missed that, did they say it in recent interviews?

I think its been since last spring at least? Never know....

I guess i don't try to find many interviews, ill read them if i notice they get posted here

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...

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

Brendan's additions?

They need to fire that dude

[Lament]

It's sad how some people seem to come here so they can sit in front of a screen and take out their frustrations with the daily grind of life on a band of multi-millionaires who will never read said criticisms. They should be taking it out on their friends & families instead. Leave Pearl Jam alone.



(Or their cats. They can take it out on their cats too...)

you realize you're about 5 years too late for this level of antipathy towards RMers, right?

Pearl Jam is our favourite corporate punch bag. I bet they don't even pay their taxes.

Can we get a petition going?


Seriously though i hope they've fought back over some of his changes, like the good old days. Whatever relationship they had going from vs-yield was working.

I saw Ed at Walmart.

I can't tell what part of this thread is real or bullshit any more.

Anyways... Lightning Bolt is going to rock

Its all b.s. But, some people take it more serious than others.

And, I hope so.

[harmless]

I still just don't get why they suddenly decided they'd listen to everything he said, after not having him produce for the last three albums. Is he a warlock who put the hex on them or something? Or is he Ed's kids' godfather? Is he paying massive checks into their bank accounts regularly? What?
