Can someone translate the German article? Why do they mention BoB over and over?

I was joking when I said the MYM video would be the beginning of the LB promo blitz. Maybe I was right?
Not translating word for for:

Brendan O' Brien is one of the most significant US-Producers. He worked on most Pearl Jam Albums in some way just as he did with their new Album 'Lightning Bolt' which is released on 11.10.2013. Brendan produced a lot of albums for rock bands like (list of bands). He produced 14 number one albums and two albums he produced won Grammys.

Not really interesting. :peace:

I'm 100% down with the listening party idea. Went to one for Yield back in the day. Great old-school way of building excitement and UNITING THE JAMILY.

They will force everyone to be naked to avoid recordings.

I wonder if Pearl Jam will do an Ask Me Anything on Reddit as part of their promo. For those who don't know, it's basically a Q&A where anyone can ask the band anything. Alice In Chains and Chris Cornell have both recently done one, as well as hundreds of other celebrities ranging from Obama to Mark Whalberg.

The Cornell one was pretty shit actually, he just trolled everyone by announcing an Audioslave + TOTD reunion, and a collab album with Eddie.

Although I'd really love if BO'B did one. I doubt he'd dish the dirt on anyone but he must have seen some massive band drama go down, seeing as he's worked with pretty much every band in exsistence.

This is almost like they're setting up a leak. They have to know somebody is gonna be recording it on the sly. I really hope it doesn't happen. I'd hate a shitty recording to be the first anyone hears of this. Really wouldn't be fair.

Also, I honestly don't believe even a perfect cd leak of the record would affect sales of the record at all. Pj fans buy it regardless, multiple copies and formats in most cases.
I'm in no way advocating leaks, I sort of hate them cow I know how damaging they can be, but I think this band are sort of immune to this.
