I don't know, to me, it sounds like it could be almost 2 years before we see them... If we are lucky, 1 year.
posted in another thread, from Billboard.com, sounds like the boys are starting to talk to the media again. The reasoning for doing Europe again? I hope it is to have fun... and perhaps some vacation with family - they have worked hard. Just wish they address those of us that have been ignored.
PLAY THE SOUTH and TALK TO US
"Pearl Jam

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
Pearl Jam has "no set date" for returning to the studio to follow-up last year's self-titled album for J, but the group couldn't pass up a series of "pretty cool offers" on the live front this summer, guitarist Mike McCready tells Billboard.com.
Pearl Jam will hit the road in Europe for three weeks beginning June 8 in Lisbon, and will also headline the final day of Lollapalooza in Chicago on Aug. 5.
"People still want to see us and we're having fun doing it," McCready says. "The last year-and-a-half run was a long one for us. We're all getting a little bit older and having families. But these seemed like good opportunities, so we're going to take them." With a laugh he adds, "That being said, we're probably not going to go out for another year-and-a-half tour for the rest of our lives."
Since wrapping that extensive outing in December, band members have been demoing material on their own while staying in occasional contact via email. McCready says he has tested out some ideas with guitarist Stone Gossard and drummer Matt Cameron in separate sessions as well. "When we get it all together, we'll decide to do a record," McCready says. "That may be a year from now or half-a-year from now."
Pearl Jam did hit the studio at the tail end of 2006 to record a cover of the Who's "Love Reign O'er Me" for the new Adam Sandler film "Reign Over Me." Sandler approached Vedder to cover the tune at a Los Angeles show last year, but the frontman, an admitted Who fanatic, was a bit nervous about going through with it.
"Eddie asked Stone and I what the guitar players thought, and I told him, 'I know you can nail this,'" McCready says. "I've heard him messing around in the studio, singing Who songs by himself in the vocal room in-between takes, and he's nailing it there. I knew he'd put everything into it, because he'd know Pete Townshend might someday listen to it."
On the Brendan O'Brien-produced final version, which was released as the A-side of the band's annual holiday single for its fan club, Vedder unleashes blood-curdling screams the likes of which have rarely been heard from him on record. "It's funny -- Stone says he has this natural fuzz box on his voice and he's definitely using it here," McCready says.
As reported yesterday (April 4), McCready and his U.F.O. tribute band Flight To Mars will anchor the fifth CCFA benefit on Saturday in Seattle. Vedder and Pearl Jam keyboardist Boom Gaspar will also be on stage April 21-22 in Honolulu for Jack Johnson's Kokua benefit, and Vedder has also signed on for an acoustic set at the Hullabaloo benefit for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music on May 5 at Los Angeles' Henry Fonda Theatre."

All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
Here is what I'm thinking. Nobody in the band or their management is ever going to see this thread - regardless of how many times we bump it. That isn't to say, however, that I think we should stop. This thread is important to keep the discussion going amongst ourselves. But what I'd like to know from you guys is - what can we do to actually get this message to the band? There has got to be a way to get a petition like this to them. I just don't know how. I mean, I'm sure that if it were some BS dime-a-dozen petition, they'd ignore it. But I think that it is pretty significant that one of the biggest rock bands in the world didn't tour an entire region of their own nation behind what many people are calling their greatest album in years.
So once again - what are your ideas on how to communicate this message to the guys in the band?
Either that or someone in this thread should go back to school to learn how to be a "Router".

Ding Ding Ding....we have the winning answer right up front. Despite the "touring Europe for fun" chatter, they would not have gone if the bottom line wasn't up to snuff (Europe must be known for their "routers" :rolleyes: ). But PBM's idea is something that has run through my head repeatedly the last couple of weeks. I will renew my 10 Club membership, but outside of that my wallet is closed to the Pearl Jam organization until we either get answers (Communication, baby!! ) or get treated like part of the Pearl Jam world. This "boycott" will include no promotion of the band on my part...no playing of the music for others, talking the band up to others or even wearing tee shirts promoting the band.
I am already "back in school," maybe Birmingham-Southern has some classes in "Routing" that I can take as electives.
:( :( :( :( :mad: :mad:

so mike was on 107.7 the end today, and they asked him if PJ was playing for shows after lolla, and could neither deny it or confirm it....he said, "I don't know".

It's happened- someone making a good point in this thread.
This is a thread on a board. You want a proper petition? Have people put their names to a formally written one. Real names. Get backing from local radio stations. Base it around a website that people can add their names and location to. Have paper copies so people who aren't doing this online thing can sign it. Edit out signatures that look something like 'Bobbo- From the South'.
When you think you've reached critical mass, mail the damn pile of paper to 10c. You're absolutely right- when's the last time a thread on the internet led to actual change in anything?

i sent them free donuts certificates...
if that doesnt do it , nothing will;)
(i think the band knows about this, they have to, i just dont think they really care)
(i think the band knows about this, they have to, i just dont think they really care)
...and there was the "Plant a Tree" movement where certificates were sent to the fan club....they know, and like what the Leathered one says, they probably don't even care....I suspect that at least one member of the organization thinks this snubbing of the South shit is quite funny. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I betting on NO Southern shows until at least 2010. If it is six months before they get into the studio full tilt, and I believe that Mike mentioned that number, don't expect a new album until at least the fall/winter of 2008. That would be the earliest date for a release in my crystal ball. I am leaning more till sometime in 2009....late 2009. :eek:
In all seriousness if a Republican wins the White House in 2008, I bet we get blamed fairly or unfairly and snubbed again. I will also throw this out....I would not vote for that Clinton creature even if you pointed a gun at my head. :mad: :mad: :mad: :( :(
