12th album rumors and speculation

[McParadigm]

Coming in without pre-written songs sounds like a huge bonus, to me.

worried about all the positive comparisons with Brendan

yeah that's so weird

You guys don’t like Vs, Vitalogy, No Code or Yield?

[Birds in Hell]

Coming in without pre-written songs sounds like a huge bonus, to me.

The only positive of this approach may be that the album isn't completely stuffed with Ed's songs, the greatest flaw of every latter day Pearl Jam record.

He has 100% squandered his reputation in the years since

[Chris_H_2]

this band just needs someone with the balls to tell ed "no."

That doesnt mean they can't speak of/remember him fondly for some incredible records.

[Strat]

Yea less ed more stone bangers like let the records play!

Sounds like something id come up with at 2 am after the bar. DUMB BAR ROCK

i actually enjoyed that song as it was one of the few on LB that actually sounded like guitar instruments and was hopeful they would add a searing swamp blues rock guitar solo on it at the end

but they didnt when they played it live

lost opportunity

[96583UP]

strat’s band would do it properly

[Birds in Hell]

Even Stone has said he's been surprised about which songs of his that Ed ends up selecting to put on the records, like Buckle Up.

Again, I'm leaning towards Ed being the problem here (to some extent).

[tragabigzanda]

Buckle Ugh

[bodysnatcher]

this band just needs someone with the balls to tell ed "no."

We all know how well that went the last time

[Farmer John]

Stone needs to get his groove back and not be so passive. Maybe a nice kick in the butt from Andrew Watt is just what he needs.

[tragabigzanda]

Can we all agree to stop calling this guy Watt, it’s got to be the dumbest stage name in history

[Birds in Hell]

Agreed, there is only one (Mike) Watt.

[Farmer John]

Andrew Wut

‘You can’t bring your own gear’ just sounds like the guy wants to pull the exact same sounds in the same way for each of his production jobs, like cueing up a ‘rock guitar’ preset.

[tragabigzanda]

What’s he gonna do, make them play Jackson guitars through Crate amps? They’re probably just gonna gravitate to the same instruments they have at home.
