Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[stip]

I stand by my 'side projects getting in the way' thesis. It can't get that bad again.

Uke album
Ike tour
Postponement for shoulder injury
Soundgarden record
Soundgarden tour
30 Jeff solo albums
2 stone albums
Mike played the national anthem, right?


And there was little overlap with all that stuff, I think

[epilogue]

And only 26 of those Jeff solo albums are listenable.

[Lament]

I say less, but history is not on my side

Months between records (approximate)...

Ten - Vs. 26
Vs. - Vitalogy 14
Vitalogy - No Code 20
No Code - Yield 17
Yield - Binaural 27
Binaural - Riot Act 30
Riot Act - S/T 41
S/T - Backspacer 40
Backspacer - Lightning Bolt 49

Except for Vs. - Vitalogy, they've never had a turnaround that was significantly shorter than the one that preceded it. At this rate we shouldn't expect another one before 2018.

Moonlander too.

[BurtReynolds]

Could be their last, wouldn't really suprise me.

i dont think they'll ever quit for good. I could see an extended break though.

[Thejambi]

I doubt it's there last. You know how much more milk they would be squeezing from that tit.

[stupidmop]

I dunno, they're having trouble getting it together as it is, and they're only getting older. Wasn't there an interview with jeff where he said he hated touring?
If they were the kind of band to just toss out an album whenever it wouldn't matter, but like BoB said in that interview whenever they put out an album they know they gotta get that whole thing rolling again, i can see them deciding its not really worth it, or always planning to do something but it just not happening. Or we'll get 2 records in the next decade.

Maybe its just that i'd rather they'd stop than turn into the stones really. Mehh.

[bodysnatcher]

this thread is a roller coaster of emotions

[Thejambi]

Here is an idea. Stone gets the band together for 2 weeks in his studio, they send the music to Ed, he throws vocals on it, they throw it up on PJ.com for digital sale, they do a small venue tour with sporadic dates.

[stupidmop]

If they listened to all our ideas they'd have 6 EPs, 15 albums;10 of which were varying degrees of trippy psychedelic 'space-rock'; all of which would have different producers, 5 world tours, 2 club show tours, 3 acoustic tours and and they'd alternate between dave A , jack irons and Matt sporadically, all this decade. And they'd all be unmarried, childless and miserable.

Yeah but they would be a better band.

BEST POST EVER.

The best thing about that is that im already guessing the bitching..." they should get married and have kids and make music from that point of view too"

[BurtReynolds]

Suffer for your art!

." they should get married and have kids and make music from that point of view too"

Said no fan of a rock band ever.

What about pop band?

I don't like looking at that one bit.

Well, sure, yeah. Sometimes. Like Britney Spears fans and whatnot.

I can't tell if that looks like my grandmom or my grandad

I'd be guaranteed to like at least one of those space rock albums i'm sure.

I just meant if they're reading this board, they're clearly not taking notes. They're sitting at the back of the class, waiting for the bell to go so they can head down to the beach and smoke some green and surf. I don't think eddie even turned up for class. He's failing for sure.
