Lightning Bolt: the official album thread

[Lounge Lizard]

so the one played on pj radio and the one on the video are different then the one that leaked

that makes no sense to me since the leak came from from an internet radio station. its gotta be the same. why would they give them an unfinished version

Simple: those radio stations ripped the CD version and attempted to play it without permission. Only Sirius got the proper radio cut, and the band kept the 'live' version for themselves to make the video.

Isn't it just possible that the video version is just a live version and the leaked version is the one that will appear on the album?

Pretty sure that's the case

i have no idea, i havent listened to any of them, but if there are differences then i want to download them all so i have them for later.

so it sounds like the video is recorded live right? is the version played on PJ radio the same as the one in the video?

Is that....not what we're saying?

[HardTI]

This song is stunning. Jesus, I didn't think they had THIS in them still.

[Tuolumne]

I can't say for sure it was a live take. Also, yes, this version is of better sound quality than the leak I heard, and my reaction went from the Stip-like ??? to "I think I'm getting this." The video is very tastefully done. I had a chill here or there, so this song has got something going for it.

[ledvedderman]

I stand corrected. Listening to it again sold me on it being live. As Larry David would say, "pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good"

seriously. a stadium power ballad without the bombast. who knew?

Probably. I'm confused.

I haven't heard the song, by the way. I'll move along now.

when did the band decide to wear all black, all the time?

[Strat]

The guitar solo is different. Its a different take. Probably live. Cause I hear matts vocals back there and boom is being monkey hands in a spot.

You can see boom behind stone in a couple of spots too.

RIP PJ

[Revelator]

Yeah def prefer the video version over what leaked out. Hopefully the "video version" is part of the extra content for those who ordered through 10C or something.

[Come Back in Black]

Its not on itunes yet. You can't buy the single.

[McParadigm]

It's a live take. There are artifacts in there, Ed is pitchy going into the solo, the drums screw up at the start, and several times when Ed sings you can hear the concussion of the inflectives.



Now, that's not to say that they didn't take the audio in and process it up to make themselves sound better.

[Dr. Van Nostrand]

you can buy it on pearljam.com

[Revelator]

So if the video is any indication, it looks like they're not doing a "shortened version" for the radio? Def a good thing, I can't see any parts worth cutting right now without fucking it up

[nightmareblack0206]

Can someone be kind enough to clue me in on what track you guys are talking about?
