    I like how they show pics of Mike with the article but the only guy quoted was Jeff.

    I think it'd be cool but I don't know how much "extra" time Jeff would be able to talk Neil into. He always strikes me as a fast worker in the studio banging stuff out in a couple of takes.

    If anyone has read the Neil Young biography Shakey he says the most amazing things about pearl jam as a band. He blew off making an album with Crazy Horse to do Mirrorball, because he said that Pearl Jam nailed his song Fucking Up, better then he and Crazy horse ever could, and that he was totaly down with the atmosphere around the band and there approach to music! So a new mirrorball would be amazing! And this time around there is no major label arguments that could keep the album from saying Neil Young & Pearl Jam, instead of it just being considered a Neil Young album!

    With Neil being a big critic of mp3 maybe make it a Vinyl only release! :D

    I am sure we all have our fingers crossed in anticipation of this album, should it ever happen. I was lucky enough to see PJ with Neil Young in support of this at Reading Festival in 95 and the album sounded amazing live. 20 minute jam on Scenery. SUPERB rendition of RITFW

    Bring it on

    I saw Neil just over a week ago at the Perth Big Day Out. He was awesome. It was of the best shows I've been to.

    Collaborating with him again would be a very smart move. The guy is a legend.

    I posted this link about a month ago.....it's a Neil Young interview and it looks like he is interested too!

    http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/stor ... 21,00.html

    Somewhere in the "Neil Young answers readers' questions"

    Would you do any more collaborations such as your Mirror Ball album with Pearl Jam?

    "I don't have anything planned right now but there's definitely a chance. It was just the way I like to do it. It had to be fast because no one had much time, so we didn't waste time trying to perfect them or mix them or do a bunch of crazy stuff to 'em that doesn't matter. We played 'em and put 'em out there ... Pearl Jam's a great band, I loved playing with them."

    Oh heck yes! It's unfortunate that it took them this long to get to the point where they both could (possibly) find the time to collaborate again. Mirrorball is a remarkably unique album for either artist/band.

    Thoughts about a new collaboration:
    1. Personally I'd love some dueling McCready/Young solos coming from the left and right channels of my stereo.
    2. When I think of the atmosphere on Mirrorball I'm immediately drawn to what a natural fit Jack Irons was to the sound I think of when I think of NY. I'd be really curious to hear what Matt Cameron would bring to the table. I'm not entirely sure if his time signature changes would be a natural fit, but I'd be more than willing to love hearing his efforts.
    3. I'd like eV in the mix more. They should share some leads and change it up on the rest of the record taking turns backing each other up. NY has no problem performing brilliant harmonies and I think eV singing low and NY singing high would sound phenomenal.
    4. Don't go light. We all know how much material they have floating around. Do a double LP: one electric and one acoustic. (Normally I'm not a huge fan of this idea but if you listen to Harvest Moon you know what I'm thinking of. Atmosphere, baby!)

    Go for it you guys!

    I would love for this to happen again. Mirrorball and Merkinball were amazing. I've got both on vinyl and spin them quite a bit.

    Aside from Crazy Horse, Pearl Jam is one of the only bands out there that truly fit Neil's style.

    Hopefully this happens.

    They wouldn't, kinda like how they don't fit well with PJ.

    I would love to see this as well, but I would certainly hope Eddie would be a big part of it.
    Obviously, from those statements if they are credible, the only thing we can draw from it is that PJ would like to do something else with Neil.

    I was just thinking about Neil the other day....I am not a big fan at all of his rock music, mainly because his voice is not cut out for it, but his acoustic stuff is great. Me thinks I need to get Mirrorball out for a listen....it's been a while. Downtown let's go Downtown!!! Great album especially for just four days of work, which I had not previously been aware of
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    I won't entirely disagree with you. It's funny too... I always thought that the musical "quirk"that the time signature changes present in Soundgarden's songs were more from Ben Sheppard than anyone else. Then I heard some Wellwater Conspiracy and that thought was pretty much dashed.

    Still though, Matt Cameron is an Overlord of Percussion.

    He is, there are just a lot of times I find myself thinking... "this would sound wicked on some heavy metal-ish song by tool or soundgarden or qotsa... too bad it sounds very awkward in a PJ song." He's a phenomenal drummer, I'm just not a fan of the time signature stuff. PJ's strength was in their smooth, organic groovy sound. That's a sound that Matt's not really a natural fit for... Dave and Jack were. Matt's the best at what he does, I just feel like the band has never really gotten on the same page with him because what they do is very different. The halting jerky rhythms have resulted in a lot of songs that fall uncomfortably in a no-man's land between a really heavy sound (which PJ doesn't do well) and a really groovy jamming rocker (which Matt doesn't do well). I think of Cropduster... the song had potential in the outro, but the choruses and verses aren't heavy enough to make it a real fist-pumping metal-type song and the time changes are too awkward for it to be an ass-shaking anthem like Evenflow.

    I felt like the last album seemed to be a bit better about it, but we'll see.

    Oh yeah, and another Neil Young album would kick serious ass... especially if Ed gets a few more vocals in this time!
