I saw a tweet about a bonus track on the Japanese version of Backspacer. Is there any truth to that?
I’ve seen Pearl Jam 25 times, Eddie Vedder 9 times, and Brad once.

    looks like it may have been a hoax, those who heard it said it sounded nothing at all like pearl jam

    I looked BS up on a bit torrent search (just to see if it was downloadable yet, not to download it) and I saw a song at #12, right after The End, called New Wave.

  • I started looking around after I saw this thread and found this as a description of the album:

    2009 release from Eddie Vedder and the boys, their ninth album overall. For Backspacer, the lasting Grunge rockers decided to do it big. They left label J Records and decided to release to album themselves, since the certainly have enough money to do that. They also hooked up with '90s Alternative Rock producer du jour Brendan O'Brien (Korn, Bruce Springsteen), the first time that the band has worked with O'Brien since 1998's Yield. The music on the record features a sound influenced by pop and New Wave.

    I wonder what New Wave is?

    From what I remember reading a few years ago it has to do with the way the Japanese import laws were written after WWII where imports from the allied powers had to be sold at the same price as the Japanese item. So they add extra tracks to the records in order to sell the Japanese version and keep the money in Japan.
    Of course my mind has been known to play tricks on me.

    I'd feel sorry for that if they hadn't had concentration camps and murdered tens of millions of civilians in China, Korea and the Philippines including some of my family. Of course, no one remembers the victims of the Asian Holocaust and everyone remembers the bombs, but that's a story for a different forum.

    So, as you can see here...I was correct. I just took a more "jackass" approach.

    you don't know what "new wave" music is? it's the music of the 80s. not the hair-metal stuff.....but music such as new order.....b-52s......thompson twins.....siouxie and the banshees.....etc. it was called "new wave" and also "alternative"......
    Stay with me...

  • I read somewhere that that was indeed a hoax to get at the people who were illegally downloading. Someone said it was some Lionel Richie song... Kinda funny if you ask me. Is there a real bonus track out there? Who knows
