they just made a very good album with evans, and now eddie is running around telling everyone that watt is doing the next one.

i wonder how much band discussion, if any, went into that call

Pushing? Yes.

Band discussion? None.

Well they’ve already gone down and had a session with Watt.

Stone, in interviews, always talks with such admiration for Ed.

Thanks Anders!

I think Stone says "y'know" about 2000 times in that interview. Love that guy!

how the fuck do I manage my expectations for this? Gigaton, Earthling, and...? a trilogy of Surprisingly Good would be so nice

Maybe they'll release a shitty single again to make sure our expectations nose dive!

I had low expectations for this and it turned out great for me. There’s a lesson here!

true and true

That was interesting. Part 2 he talks about PJ knowing of this solo endeavor and more about them coming down and working with Andrew halfway through it. He makes it pretty clear “we’ve been working on stuff” about PJ.

Talks about how healthy it is for the band to do their side stuff and that it always opens their mind when they come back.

Stone loves pop music and thinks its a golden era for the genre. "the power of pop music is very interesting to me"

Loves Drake, cardi b.

So, im sure he's pumped to work with Watt.

We should start the process of lowering our expectations for the next PJ record right now...
The earlier we start the process the better... maybe they will release a masterpiece!
We might need a dedicated thread for this!

there's no way they'll make 3 for 3, it's gonna be shite

Good start!

Zane Lowe interview was incredible.

I am very excited for a Watt pj record. He talks about his favorite music, favorite records, and how they came together with a band jamming in a small space and doing it quickly. Talks a bit about his studio and no separation between studio and control room. Small spaces. Jamming. Mentions how Ten was kind of made that way along with zep, sabbath, etc...

I watched a vid on Youtube of Watt working with Chad Smith (and Chillies? not sure), and while I don't like RHCP much, he didn't seem completely alien to rock music, I guess it gave me a little confidence

I've only heard some of that Lowe interview, but it's pretty interesting and illuminating as to why Eddie likes working with Watt and how he contrasts working with him as opposed to how PJ worked on Gigaton. He seems pretty focused on things happening quickly as opposed to being "in the lab," as he put it.

Watch the zane interview. Stuff with watt starts around ther 45 minute mark. Definitely will excite you.

will do!

you know what else I think is remarkable about Invincible? they kept it SLOW and GROOVY and SPACIOUS when it could very easily have been a speedy Lightning Bolt
