Weirdest part - people keep referring to this HUGE PJ tour....where are the dates

PJWGIII

Good interview. I think his comments on the album clarifies that they have indeed been working on an album, and plan to release one soon, but it just hasn’t been their main focus right now considering they’re touring and Jeff has a new album coming.

However, I’ve got a feeling that they are working on it even more now before Europe!

Ha, I know.  I thought the same exact thing.  They make 20 dates sounds like it's a 6 month tour or something.

Well, he specifically says they aren't, but hope doesn't hurt I guess

I was a big fan and she played in my hometown in Montana a few years ago. I bought a t-shirt. Then we were playing a show in North Carolina two years ago, she came out to the show and we hung out and sort of stayed in contact.

What the fuck is he talking about? he must consider Greenville SC part of North Carolina?

Well to be fair they tour so much that they get confused about the states. 

I sae that and wondered what the hell he was talking about too!

I hear ya, but with all the noise around cancelling the show in NC, you think he might remember our state.

angel olsen is based out of Asheville and Greenville SC is only about 60 miles from us so I will give him a pass....

as long as they make up the show.

I’m really disappointed in Jeff’s take on Kanye. Nobody has to accept Kanye’s beliefs in any way shape or form but to see a guy like Jeff say “I have a hard time separating the art from the artist...” or to accuse him of just doing this for publicity is just so sad. Pearl Jam has taken a variety of political stances over the years and fans such have myself have supported them in taking those positions even when I disagree with them. I support their art and their right to take a stand and I only assumed Jeff would feel the same. His closed mindedness is what is unfortunate.

Also let’s be absolutely clear...

Can’t Deny Me doesn’t even come close to Ye vs. The People with respect to both quality and content. That’s the dragon energy right there Jeff.

It sounds as though they have been writin and intend to write some more, but I don’t think much ‘recording’ Has been done. 2019 looks like the year! 

Hi!

Jeff is so down to earth.I agree with everyrhing he said in this interview. Bad fucking dream describes it perfectly.  I also agree its hard to seperate the art from the artist, thats why I love PJ.

Ive been trying to get less personal with all artists.  I cant stand hearing other peoples political opinions. Even if i agree with them

Kanye may suck, but at least his music does too.

I get what you're saying, but I'd call it the Nugent effect. When an artist is generally a jackass as a person, I have a hard time enjoying their music. I think it makes sense. I think Kanye has made some outstanding music over the years, but he is such a narcissistic asshat I can't stand it. You can't compare PJ to someone like that because they're not self righteous reality TV pricks. PJ get a pass because they're all decent people. Ed may go on a rant, but he's never proclaimed himself to be the next coming of Christ. Not much decent about Kanye the person.

Hi!

Kanye acting like a little bitch because Obama called him a jackass.

Album - 2019

I’m done caring about what this band or its members think of any other artist or political figures, Kanye is another dispicable human as far as I’m concerned..
wake me when this band actually gets back to pushing the envelope as far as their music is concerned...or doing an actual tour this peice meal plan they have us on is weak ...
