I'll go back through the thread and count them for you.
I just counted and it's all of them.
Even that one?
The plot twist is that RM is just one man with hundreds of different accounts.
This is all happening inside a snow globe that harmless plays with like oh such nothing.

This would be a great movie plot. Ed could do the soundtrack.
What is we are not real ,but just personalities in Stone's head, and he sits on the computer all day with his thoughts us, and his self made fan page. what if this started after Ed fell to his demise during A Porch preformance 22 years ago. Stone went insane and to deal with it started using us his multi dementional peeps to cope so to him it has been Business as usual.

Anyone else not able to see the YouTube windows since upgrading to IOS 7? It's just a blank space.

This is eerie similar to the final season of Roseanne. I couldn't normally stand that show, but saw a good part of the last season as my wife was into it. There was a lot of shitty writing in that show, but to finish the season in the way they did was actually pretty well thought out.

So I just now listened to the new clip for the first time.... I don't know. I was really hoping for a more straightforward gritty sounding rock song. I listen to this and I swear I thought Eminem was going to start rapping over the track.... :shake:

Eminem would be cool only if Dido did the chorus.

It's REALLY not what I wanted Infallible to sound like. I've been drooling over the soundcheck version for months now. I hope the final song with the vocals is better.

It just sounds too industrial electronic sounding for me. I really don't like the keyboards there either. It just sounds weak, and this song sounds like it has real power in the live soundcheck. I was hoping for a more ethereal Sleight of Hand/ Nothing As It Seems style production. More dark and echoey. They may have gone in a different direction with it.

It could also just be the very beginning of the song, and it builds and culminates with more guitars. Or it could just be a early rough mix of the song just used for the vignette.

Either way, I'm sure Ed's vocals will make the song soar.

The song getting BOB'd is my main concern. Still sounds like it could be okay though...

Yup. I really like what I heard in the clip, but the track record is only leaving me cautiously optimistic about this track.

You guys ever wonder what would happen if none of us posted about Pearl Jam for one day. Just one whole 24 hour day. No Pearl Jam posts at all. What would happen?

Really liked the "Infallible" clip, hoping there's a song in there to match the groove.
