If the band is done creatively and just wants to be a touring act from now, that’s perfectly fine and they don’t owe anyone anything.

I think what is aggravating about the band these days is that they seem to exist only to bleed as much cash as possible out of people willing to spend insane amounts of money on them. It’s the antithesis of what this band and the culture around them used to be about, and it’s sad.

They are using the promotion tool on instagram for the t shirt. That's weird.

Perhaps sales aren’t what was expected given the level of effort that went into the design

I'm actually gonna throw my hat into the ring and believe in the rumors that i have heard on top of the new one with the dates on the back of the t shirt. It all makes sense to me.

I wont be mad if it doesnt happen but here I am.

Whenever they announce the Vegas residency with Steve Perry on vocals.
For most people these days Eddie seems to be Pearl Jam. They would just follow whatever he was doing.
Interesting thought:

Jeff, Matt, Mike and Stone with another vocalist

or

Ed solo or with a rag-tag ensemble

which, if any, get your money?

Depends who fills in. Anything involving Jeff will get my money first and foremost, but if Ed, Flea and Jack Irons made an album, that might make me second guess my stance.

The dates would have to be set to print on a shirt. We would already be hearing about them being on different venue calendars if that was the case. The only thing that can possibly be on the back of the shirt is the Ten Club logo.

I laughed equally at the Hank Hill pooping reaction, and Bammer’s Vedder 10 comment. Both fantastic posts.

In that sirius xm interview, when he was asked about a new album, Mike jokingly started out with something along the lines of "can I not answer that?" (not exact words, it was in the tone of "I plead the fifth"). That makes me think he definitely knows a lot more than he is letting on.

I heard they are printing the set list on the back to a surprise Halloween show.

Or maybe they were including a flash drive with the new album with every shirt, taped to the back.

Or maybe it was just a celebration of axe throwing masked as Halloween merch

Most likely though, just the latest in the ongoing.... wait for it,...

Yeah- A Vedder-less Pearl Jam which had all the makings of a big, exciting future was in the midst of happening a few years ago. It was called Temple of the Dog. And it was glorious.

Those shows were SO good. I'd take a release of those shows over new PJ any day.

Big, exciting future as Temple of the Dog? I don't think they would have done anything else but we'll never know.

There’s something going on tied to the shirt I think. They were just promoting it this morning on social media claiming it’s nothing like they’ve done before or something to that effect.
