Did josh play on every song? Also does anyone have any good examples of what he added? I know it’s early for that just curious. I don’t know how I feel about this. Ed definitely needs help on the vocals so that is a bonus. Just not entirely sure we needed a 4th guitar. Someone said earlier it was a Melissa Reese in Guns N’ Roses thing. That makes sense. She adds a lot to axls vocal live. Whether by playing a prerecorded part or by singing herself.0

I saw him in some of the videos playing during Gigaton songs. The songs from that have a lot of layered guitars so it makes sense. He also adds vocals on some of the higher parts, which also makes sense because sometimes Jeff and Matt can be pretty flat. It also looks like Josh has a couple toms in front of him, but I'm not sure when he would've played those.

His backing vocals are probably most evident on Take the long way outro last night.0

I still believe this is a one off thing because Josh will open up for them anyways. People in here talking like it is a permanent change because of Eddies voice -- I see it as much of a permanent change as having that junk-bird for a tour, or that string section in 2009, that lamp Eddie swung on during Porch or doing "an evening with shows" with no opener. They are just changing it up."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Consequence reported Josh is "Pearl Jam's new touring guitarist".
Josh confirms.

Love it. Let him out on stage! If he wants to"Well, I think this band is incapable of sucking."

I think what’s most strange is him agreeing to do it since he has his own band. So I think it might be temporary as long as he is openingPittsburgh 2013

Arena shows there will be no hiding him really with the back opened up.0 -
Extra percussion on DOTC. At least there is on the studio version.www.cluthelee.com0

Welcome to the tour Josh! I have a challenge for you…learn Brendan’s part on Gremmie and let’s debut that song for Ohana Encore. I look forward to hearing you then regardless if Gremmie makes the actual set list.0

I don't think Josh is going to write songs on future albums. I can't be certain but I don't think touring musicians write on bands albums. Unless they're one of those people who writes songs for many artists. Pearl Jam doesn't need help. Boom writing on LBC was a one time thing. And I don't think Eddie was specifically writing for a new Pearl Jam album at the time.I miss igotid880
