    the band shot a video for a new song directed by cameron crowe

    that video might be used as a ad for target which MIGHT be distributing the album nationally in the us


    the bolded part is speculation...no one knows anything beyond this

    If this is not for TARGET, the band should make an announcement right now.

    says who? honestly, people are freaking out before they even know what's going to happen. wait for an announcement or go "hate the band" like you said you were going to do in another thread.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Here's what we know:

    1)Pearl Jam performed a new song about 10x at the showbox...also played Sonic Reducer!!!
    2) It was filmed by Cameron Crowe and also poorly recorded by someone standing outside of the Showbox
    3) Target had something to do with the whole thing.

    The rest is just speculation and rumor

    this board has gone a bit bonkers today about all this, everything is getting locked down.

    I'm just a bit confused as to why.

    Its all over the internet so surely this would be the place to discuss these rumours? which is for now all they are.

    anyone who wants to start hating Pj for working with target really needs to go find a life. Shock horror muscians wanting to make money :shock: :shock:

    Sounded like it was recorded in the third stall on the left to me.

    If this Target thing is true, which it sounds like it is. Does anybody think we will get some sort of explanation as to why. I dont shop at Target or any of those chains, I stay true to my beliefs, and if people change then they change including the band. It hurts, it sucks, but it is up to the band. I just hope we can hear why. Just for the record I am not changing!

    Peace

    they don't really owe anyone anything. if they have a deal with target, cool. if not, also cool. i'm gonna buy the record from the website, i'll also download the leak as soon as its available to me. nobody's perfect.
    i have a paper here that entitles me to fast track status

    ive been reading alot of things on the net about this band and the rumors of Target and a commercial..blah blah...dont worry moderators no links here, but i want to discuss why the band is taking such a hit for this and the stupid word of "sell out" is being used...didnt the band do similar commercial things with the last two albums? why such the outrage?

    who cares, we are getting a new album soon and i think we all need to get over the whole "Pearl Jam took on corporations in the past and look at them now"

    hope this doesnt get deleted they are also articles out there of the fan club being "silenced" even holding a discussion about any of this

    once again a reminder for everyone DO NOT post any links here just discuss why the band is taking such a hit
