    They were on the road for 3 years in support of Lightning Bolt. Rest up fellas'! Overdue and much deserved.


    2015 - toured 3 out of 52 weeks
    2016 - toured 5 out of 52 weeks

    They must be exhausted.
    lol. Exactly! Plus they just had seven months off!! How much time does someone need to rest up?
    I don't think it has much to do with rest. PJ is not their priority right now, and can't imagine the fire is there like it was 20 years ago for it.

    I've got my PJ concert streak going since 2003 though so I hope this doesn't mean it ends in 2017.
    I've got the same 2003 streak going - drove 24 hours from/to Vancouver to spend 12 hours in Missoula in 2012, and went to Global Citizen in 2015 to keep that going!
    guess it has to end at some point...

    since when do they do that? the only time I recall them touring without a new record was PJ20.

    2005 Canadian tour. No new record, as I recall.
    2008 and 2016 as well. I'm not complaining though. I'll take shows over a new album every time.
    ...Euro 2012 (and 2007)

    Only Vanna White works less....

    But good for them. I'll miss the music (studio or live) but maybe I'll have enough money the next time they do tour to afford to see them even more shows...

    :lol: U guys are more entertaining than ever. This is better than synergy or usenet or aol. No humor. Lots of worry and agitation. Go take a walk guys. Its not that bad. And avoid NHL podcasts i guess too.

    fair enough (funny I didn't recall that, as I was at both Winnipeg 2005 and 2011 shows-LOL), but in 2005 the band was still in a very active cycle, so I wouldn't count that. And they hadn't been across canada in over a decade at that point as well.

    if we want to split hairs, the cross canada tour in 93 was also without an album, as the touring cycle for Ten had ended, and VS hadn't yet been released.

    Either way, if people want the band to only play shows when they have a record to promote, I certainly hope they DON'T get what they wish for.

    Microwave? We just sprinkled the powder on the raw noodles and ate them rock hard. :lol:

    I thought it was already a somewhat safe assumption that PJ wouldn't be touring this year, given the schedule some of the members already have laid out and the total lack of tour rumours .... I'm hoping this break doesn't include work on a new album though. I've been hoping they'd give that another try for a 2018 release. Anyway, I never really expected PJ to tour every single year until they break up or die, so this isn't much of a shocker I guess. ;)

    if your heart gets broken because a band doesn't go on tour it might be time to re-evaluate your life. time to adjust the priorities i'd say. just my opinion :smirk:

    this sounds like we'll see how we feel in a year. remember young families , these guys don't want to tour and i'm still not sold that they really like each other. it may e the idea of touring is not great but when they do it comes together. the problem or obstacle is getting them together.

    Jeff has stated that he hates touring, so there's that.

    their collective hearts were not in the last album and it was reflected in the final product.

    That's not true at all. If you paid attention to the interviews and promotional work they did, they were really excited. They aren't good enough actors or liars to fake that.

    i understand the point and I probably shouldn't say their hearts were not in it. It just seems like recording has gotten to be too painful for them. And of course, it's painful for probably just about anyone except the Beyonces and Biebers of the world. When you look at the time and money invested into albums, it may seem not worth all the arguments/fights that come with the process. I'm sure it's the kind of thing that makes bands want to stop all together (e.g. REM).

    Now they don't like each other?? Jesus

    They'll be together for a few days next month for a pretty huge occasion. Ed's touring this summer, as is Matt. I don't imagine they wanted to do yet another tour without new music. If anything, hopefully this motivates them to get a new album out and get out on the road in 2018.

    So guessing the earliest we could get a new PJ is 2018, that means 5 years in between albums (or longer). That would be the longest wait of their career.

    25+ years in... an album every 5 years is probably best case scenario
