Would you prefer Ed use his song writing gifts only for the 5 guys group?

They all have side projects which I think is great.  They are all individual artists and members of a group.  

Restricting only to PJ related activities is like saying I’m not allowed to have any outside interests or to do anything as an individual  because I’m married. That wouldn’t be the healthiest arrangement for anyone 

So true ,  I shouldn’t single out Eddie…

I'd rather have more music than less.

True. Would be pretty cool if this year they play tunes off the new album that's in the works.

I've always thought that most of Ed's solo songs on Pearl Jam albums, especially the acoustic ones, should be on Ed solo albums to make room for more Pearl Jam, there are so many outtakes and demos out there that should be on albums, and yes I know it's unclear who wrote most of those, but even still, put Ed's stuff on Ed's albums and Pearl Jam stuff on Pearl Jams... I still don't understand why they put the PJ version of Sleeping By Myself on Lightning Bolt, that should have been a B-side or on one of the x-mas singles... Some of the songs I think could have been Ed solo material are Off He Goes, Around The Bend, Soon Forget, Thumbing My Way, Gone, Just Breathe, Speed Of Sound, The End, Future Days, Drifting, Man Of The Hour, etc... just a thought/opinion... either way it's all Ed/Pearl Jam and I love it all! Anyways just patiently waiting for Lost Dogs 2... all those songs that we all know about need to be released!

Tough question....I'm sure Ed has a lot of ideas that he doesn't want to have to run by anyone.
