12th album rumors and speculation

[bodysnatcher]

Kind of a dick move to make the drummer ship his drums down. Much more difficult than just having a guitar as a carry-on item on the flight.

[tragabigzanda]

I can almost guarantee Andrew doesn’t know how to tune a drum kit

[Birds in Hell]

I wasn’t nuts about Gigaton but, even where it fell down, it still felt like the first authentically Pearl Jam record since S/T, in the sense that it didn’t reflect anyone else’s vision of what the record should be apart from the members of the band.

[Strat]

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.

Yea this is actually pretty sweet if you ask me. Gear you're not used to playing makes you work a bit harder to get what you want out of it. Also outside their comfort zone which they really haven't been out of since binaural

[Bammer]

Watt isn’t really a stage name. It’s his last name.

Trag you’re really on some kind of run lately, pal.

[Birds in Hell]

His last name is Wotman.

[Strat]

Yea and that's an awful name. I'd change mine too

[bodysnatcher]

Should have changed it to Watt Man

[Chris_H_2]

Dead Man > Nothingman > Betterman > Leatherman > Betterman (live) > Wotman

[tragabigzanda]

F’n bammer

[E.H. Ruddock]

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

That song rules you fool

Oh God no. Please more Matt songs. Sprinkle in some Jeff groovers, maybe one Mike anthem, and tell Ed not to reference water in any lyrics.

Agreed, an instrumental album would be interesting

[Strat]

Also iggys new record is great. It's not littered with pop singles. Often weird as hell but very iiggu. So, watt can do just fine

There’s also a fun hidden connection here: Iggy’s new record features the line “I’m gonna blow up a turd,” and Pearl Jam wrote Let the Records Play.

no one is talking about fixing Ed's word salad

Ed's word salad ruins everything now

the record is doomed regardless of what Wotman does with it

what would 2023 Ed do to the Mamasan tape?

we know already:

Spoiler: show

bring back Dave A

[tragabigzanda]

Lest anything think I’m biased, Iggy’s album with Mike Watt on bass, engineered by Steve Albini — “The Weirdness” — mostly sucked

[bodysnatcher]

I heard Mike Watt and Andrew Watt were starting a band called The Kilowatts

[96583UP]

Drums: Pro Tools
Bass: Root note enthusiast
Lead Guitar: Pentatonic scales only
Rhythym Guitar: Immasculated Beta Male
Keyboardist: Angela Landsbury
Accent Percussionist (Triangles): Chinese Government Agent
Lead Singer: Micro Machines Guy
Producer: Norm who lives with his parents in Pompano

Can't wait for this one!
