    Does the space drummer confirm the long rumored moon gig :lol: Does anyone remember that? Or where it was from?
    dont remember the moon gig... but im SO there if it happens

    or it could just mean that matts gonna use tommy lee's zero gravity drum kit on this tour... playing upside down could revitalize those extended evenflow solos

    It was mentioned I think in a fan club newsletter about a decade ago, I think. One of the members was joking around, considering what the band would be doing in 2010 and mentioned playing in space or on the moon. The setting would definitely freshen up some or the tunes.

    I was thinking the same thing. What's weird is that I didn't like The Fixer cover but it looks cool all together.

    I love it. If this indeed is the cover, I am going to be a happy guy. What would be cool is if the sleeve had all the pictures and the cover had the holes cut in it like the Yield vinyl or Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti LP.

    I hate to disappoint and ruin the vibe, but I'm not a fan of this artwork at all.





















    Kidding, obviously. Best artwork Pearl Jam's had possibly ever! :D

    it is pretty damn cool. now time to try and decipher meanings of each picture. i'm thinking 9 pictures = 9 singles from the LP. ;)

    agreed MFC. no code and binaural are tied for my favorite. though L2L was very awesome too.

    Anyone think there is any symbolism between the images and the songs? Like number 9 immediately jumped out to me as "Amongst the Waves."

    And number 8 definitely looks like he'd call himself Johnny Guitar. :lol:

    I think you got it...I think Tom Tomorrow was given the track listing and based his art on those names...certainly looks like it to me. 7 looks like the The End...the Brain...Unthought Known?

    I see "Backspacer the turtle" in frame 4.

    It's interesting, that's for sure. I can't confirm I love it yet but i do like it's originality a lot.

    I actually decided to purchase the vinyl after the Tom Tomorrow slip. I think it will be an awesome little package
