Red Mosquito

As sad as I am to admit this, I just compiled all of the writing credits since No Code (an arbitrary breaking point, but that was both when they started being more accurate about writing credits and apparently when their mode of functioning had it's major "shift"). I'm sure I made some mistakes, and all of the credits were taken from wikipedia, so I apologize if they're wrong. But anyways...

So yeah, I guess until it's proven to be official, I don't believe that we've got our first Ament/McCready/Vedder and Ament/Gossard/Vedder songs since the pre-Vitalogy days on here, nor do I believe we've got our first Ament/Cameron/McCready/Vedder song.

that's some solid investigating

Yeah, this isn't an official press release. It's a word document

And Betterman? Why in the world would they include a version of that? We have millions

Not enough speculation for my tastes.

I speculate that Jeff doesn't take phone calls from anyone in the band besides Ed.

I speculate Mike doesn't have a phone. Or a home. He just wanders the streets of Seattle looking for people to jam with. He's like Johnny Appleshred.

And then he ruins people's toilets and walks away.

I speculate that they meant to fire Mike instead of Dave, but didn't know each other's names by that point.

Quite a rumor there.

They've got memories. But they've also got shit.

I speculate that when Mike gained all that weight in '97-98, everyone figured someone else in the band hired a new guitar player

Some damn good speculating going on in this thread.

the fat mike era was pearl jam's best.

Thejambi wrote:I'd have a hard time believing Vedder has writing credits on every single song. If he did all the lyrics isn't it usually just a blanket credit outside of the individual music credits?

This one stinks the most from every angle

in the past eddie got a writing credit when he added lyrics.

i didn't actually laugh out loud at this, but I wanted to

No one's had a solo credit on the last two records other than eddie, and stone hasn't had one since binaural

Obviously Eddie is stifiling Stones creativity with his iron grip on the band and/or Obviously stone doesn't give a fuck about pj anymore and/or Eddie had stone killed shortly after binaural and what people have been seeing on stage is a hologram. Moonlander was created by the band to perpetuate the ruse.

that's good. Not a fan of the other lyricists in the band.
