The next record...

Mikee J · July 2010

With all the talk about "hiatus" and "splitting" recently, which I know is bull, I thought I would just post on here about something Ed says just beofre Of The Earth during the Hyde Park 2010 show. he says "....if this goes down here we'll stick it on the next record"... maybe they will, maybe they won't but it sure as hell doesn't sound like a band of the verge of retirement.

Forgive me if this has bee mentioned before and the fact that its all been laid to rest but I have been away for a little while :shock:

i don't think it will be that long either. at the christchurch show last november he says something like "thanks for coming to our last show, well the last show in a very long time" 5 weeks later the european dates where announced quickly followed by the second leg of US dates. i'd say a new album in february.

I'd like to say I can't wait for the next album and get on with it but I'm not done with the Backspacer tour yet.
Give me some more tour

preferably P P T S !!

I think all the "breakup" or "hiatus" talk lately happens because Eddie often says at the end of a tour "don't know if we'll be back..." or "this is the last time we'll be here for a long long time..." or some such thing. He's been doing it for years, and that's why every year there's a breakup rumor.

All I think he's doing is speaking for the rest of the band (as well as himself), like, you never know what the future brings, so they don't want to make any predictions or promises. But it seems they're still very much into playing together and writing together and recording together, so...bring on album # 10! (and please include "Of the Earth"!)

The last three tours Ed has always said to the Perth (Australia) audience, "See ya in two or three years" and has always been goo on his word...

1995 - 1998 - 2003 - 2006 - 2009. So hope to see them out here again in 2011 or 2012.

Maybe a world tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of ten which would put them down here late 2011 or early 2012 (they always come in spring or summer).

I can't wait for the new record and tour.

Done

I think Ed knows that 'of the Earth' was well received across the boards, and is being a tease.

As for 'announcement', I think it is a bit due to Ed's body language that people took it more seriously this time. You remember that the posters from Portugal concert were upset at first, and when you watch the video, Ed looks kind of sad, and it sounds final. He was speaking Portugese, and used body language to convey it better, and at the end, probably due to him being tired & not knowing how harsh the message sounds, he missed to add a touch of humour, a gesture or something, and here we are.

On the other hand, this gives Ed freedom to have all sorts of fun with announcements next tour.

Yeah, I think you're right. He always plays that "doubt" card because you never really do know about the future.

I think Matt's Soundgarden commitment is the biggest question. Once that gets settled, we'll see news/rumors on a new album and tour. (And come to Columbus! 1992 or so/1993 or so /2000/2003/2010... nowhere near enough shows.)

DaveyG · July 2010

I just hope their tenth album is called "One."

Pearl James · July 2010

It'll be the last show of the year no doubt, with Matt and Soundgarden, and Eddie getting married in October, I don't see the band doing any shows until next spring, which is totally understandable given the circumstances.
