Pearl Jam done?

RatherStarved

They’re likely done for the year but not forever.

A few more views on this post and this a**h*le from Alternative nations will be able to turn this into a headline.

Haha.  Yep.

The other factor in all of this is that the only real way to generate lots of revenue in todays music industry is to play shows.  Being their own entity to continue to employ a team like they do there gonna have to play some shows. Now they are fortunate where they could play a few festivals and generate that revenue and not have to do a tour over a few months.  The fact that they acknowledge writing and recording together also would surely seem they aren’t close to being done 

Hugely important point. The band gotta eat.

Indeed. Still hoping that one day they release an official Pearl Jam lunch box that I can take to work.

lol they probably have enough to afford their veggies and fruit. But as far as having a large endowment for future generations they only have a set number of years to maximize income by touring. Plus, with them, it’s all about connecting with their rabid fans

Multiple friends have texted me asking if Pearl Jam is done touring?
anyone else?

Are your friends interested in buying some waterfront property in Florida?

They gotta eat… live octopus on a chartered yacht! (anyone watch Below Deck?)

Hey whatever keeps the shows coming.

They aren't done.

Hope they keep going eventually playing tiny clubs so I can get some stuff signed.

But the title of the thread says they are? Now I don’t know what to think.

I'm into perpetuating this rumor just to see how long it takes Alternative Nation to write an article about it.

EnterThanman

My feeling is that as long as all the guys are still alive and healthy enough to do it, they won’t be done.

They broke up after parting ways was released.  

I recall this breakup like it was yesterday. It's terrible that they never got back together after that song came out. The depression was real. The depression is real.

I feel like Pearl Jam tours as much as the person who wants to tour the least wants too.. lol.

They seem at adjust to getting older by putting the shows back to pre-2013 lengths, and making sure they burn anyone one with overtouring.

I tend to think this will probably let them go the distance in terms of years they can carry on as a band.

I hate to break the news, but PJ is officially done as a band. I ran into Eddie at Burger King last night and he told me the news. He is going to become a professional checkers player. McCready is starting a White Lion cover band with Alex Van Halen. Jeff & Stone are going to be a professional tennis doubles team. And Matt is going to become a house painter.
