Gigaton: Official album thread

[Jorge]

not to be a party pooper but i think the last few pages should be moved to a ‘Pearl Jam Legacy Internet Messageboard Reunion Thread’ because this thread is exclusively reserved for GIGATON SQUAD

Yea man, stand back when the spirit comes motherfuckers

Gigaton Squad looks out for each other

[elliseamos]

Will this be the album that the band plays behind a projection of the 3 mach videos on repeat? And they only play the songs of this album and that's the show? Night after night? Just Gigaton. The entire Gigaton. So help us god?

Could this be the first album since Riot Act that has 0 songs I want to skip?

[Tim]

Eventually this will be a “ remember when conversation”

Remember when PJ were good, like as recently as a week ago when they released DOTC.

there was a message board that shut down and directed everyone here probably around the time of binaural. wtf was the board that closed down?

also, read all the links in the articles thread. it sounds like the band is reinvigorated by this album. the track-by-track breakdown still seems like a pearl jam album, but the reviews from the listening party are encouraging.

I think that was after a Riot Act. The dude that ran it just said he hated it and was done with the band and the message board and his website and that was that. I posted on that board then came here. It was 2002 or 2003.

No wait, there was another message board in between, from the Given to Wail site.

The former was the master/slave board, which shut down in 2002. I posted there with Athletic Supporter and some others, then started posting here sometime in 2002/2003.

I came over from m/s too.

sure juan

Make it happen

[Coach]

This had me thinking......Who is the board's longest active member? Peeps, me, Stip, Tuolumne? I recall the two crashes prior to the '04 crash and the data was lost, but was still curious if a data scientist (or climatologist) could find out. Thx.

Also, rip, Sunny, who was a long-timer from Boston who left too

I go back to Master/Slave. Hard to remember when I arrived here but it was definitely a long time ago.

i might be the longest tenured. i believe i started posting back in 98-99 when red mosquito and the sky i scrape were different boards and then if im not mistaken it was scott and bigmama decided to link the two together

i know at minimum i was posting here 20 years ago cause i was still in college getting my bachelors

I'm pretty sure I was 2000/2001ish.

I was in college from '96 to 2000. I def remember all those poster Peeps mentioned, but man I can't pinpoint the exact time and it's bugging me. I def remember downloading NAIS from the Pearl Jam website (it took like 2 hours) in '00.

Do you guy remember Styrofoam Chicken? I think he had a Back to the Future avatar.....he was an early one I think.

Just yesterday I wondered when Sunny would pop up.

I don't remember him resurfacing for BS or LB. RIP Sunny.

I mean Riot Act was the last one with 0 that I want to skip. But really if I think about it, I wouldn't mind skipping LBC and I am Mine, but I probably wouldn't.

[Ms Harmless]

I love LBC

I like I Am Mine

[bune]

Listened to Riot Act last night for the first time in awhile and yeah it's still great. I wish someone would have stopped the Bush song from taking place and left it as a fan club single but whatever.

[Ms Harmless]

Bushleaguer is amazing

[EJ]

Bushleaguer is amazing

Agreed.

(still waiting for KurtLeon to unearth the supposed sung version of this song...)

Were you at Nassau Coliseum in 2003? Oh, was it ever glorious!

I haven't been back east in...God, I have to count the years. No the last show I saw on the east coast was in PA during the Yield tour. Saw them in Kansas City and then drove to New York state (Falconer area) to pick up a friend and we drove to Pittsburgh for the show there.
