Eddie Vedder - Earthling

[VinylGuy]

the worst part of ed releasing an album is everyone here pretending to know any stuff bout the band´s inner workflow.

[BurtReynolds]

Heh, Eddie Petty

[BurtReynolds]

In some alternate timeline he went solo after Vitalogy. I wonder what that sounds like.

I think the worst part will be the album

You think you're pretty clever with this one, dont you ?

[Jorge]

Yes

[Strat]

You fancy yourself a clever man, dont you?

[Jorge]

Yes!

[VinylGuy]

[VinylGuy]

¨HE DOESNT WRITE FOR PJ¨ ¨HE WRITES FOR PJ¨ ¨STONE DOESNT CARE¨ ¨STONE CARES TOO MUCH¨

Deep breath.

Spoiler: show

Those are Pearl Jam songs.

at this point I'm convinced that Ed was always a giant cheeseball who hid behind "grunge" and other "cool" trends to sell his records, with a plan to do exactly this old man stuff when he got enough freedom to do what he really wanted

so, it sounds the same or possibly worse

[Strat]

Or …hear me out guys…. Ed is a lot of things! With many different influences ! And maybe ….just maybe….he’s always written songs that he’s wanted to !

I know. I know.

[Birds in Hell]

nah, the album will be fine.

It definitely won’t.

[Leatherhead]

Ed's doing whatever. This isn't a big deal to me. If these were Pearl Jam songs, I'd feel different, but they're not, so I really don't care. I pretty much never care about solo albums.

Seems to me like a guy who genuinely loves music for music's sake. At one time it provided an outlet for a lot of pent-up rage. Now it's a way for him to express a little joy and love for the people in his life. By all accounts, he's the most solid of humans. I can't find it in my heart to be cynical about him.

Any of you who play music and claim you wouldn't take an opportunity to collaborate with Elton John, for example, are full of shit.

[Ms Harmless]

oh I'd collab with Elton in a heartbeat, I don't think that's the issue anyone has

[Ehhhh]

With all due respect but that's harsh. Also ridiculous on every level possible.

yeah, that's a terrible take. he's had the freedom to do whatever he's wanted since ten exploded and they all became rich. and if he was only interested in selling records they would have made more videos or released 'black' as a single. he's just a different dude now, his kids are practically adults.

[VinylGuy]

Yeah it will. Also even LB has more replay value for me than other stuff so im sure the album will be fine.
