Lightning Bolt: The Official Album Thread

[Lament]

Well, I'm going to duck out folks. Enjoy the record (or not, as you choose).

Peace,

IT'S NOT A CHOICE!

9 OUT OF 10 KIDS PREFER CRAYONS TO GUNS.

I can't change

Is this kosher to post?
FD edited, without pianos

Much better this way

Nice work. So much more palatable for me. Would you mind sharing a copy?

how did you do that? You are like some kind of wizard! I like this version better. I want this version on my album

I internetted the shit out of it.

I did the same thing. Still, it misses something... I thin it deserved a full band treatment :/

[Monkey_Driven]

I wonder how many of these tunes have Ed on guitar...

Yeah, I'm surprised to find that I don't like it more without the keyboard. I think there were some good things done to the keyboard sound that make it excusable here, where it wasn't in Wrigley.

How would this work as a full band treatment? Big, spacey mike solo? I guess some drums would have been nice, though ,huh....

Agreed.

I don't know where this stuff goes anymore.

Cool interview with Ed
http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/4025260? ... _ref=false

That interviews pretty cool, some interesting stuff.

At some point, while making the Avocado record [2006's "Pearl Jam"], I kind of had thesongs on a bulletin board, and I started scribbling ideasand patching them together. I thought, "It would be really easy" ... I'm not going to jinx myself, but it would be easy [to make a whole piece]! That albumreally could have been a story about two brotherswho weresoldiers. It could be a fucking play. It's too bad, because that would have been the time to do it.

Aw

[McParadigm]

He's talked about s/t almost being a concept record, and even considering adding Pink Floyd like sound elements, before.

Like many fans, there are also parts of it that make me cringe

Aw

What could have been eh?

[Juvenal]

Without being too OTT I've been feeling a tad crap lately and this album has really helped me. So I give thanks for that

I think that would have been seen as ed taking the Townshend worship too far.
