First of all... Can't wait for the new music in 11 days, BUT.... 3 - 4 years between albums is too long.

I know they are almost 50, and Mike has said he doesn't want to be the rolling stones, so that means only 10 - 15 more years of Pj left??? so 3-4 more albums to come out after this one???

I know that all of them have said that their favourite tunes are from TEN, VS., VITALOGY. So like if their favourite tunes are early stuff what does that really say of their new stuff??? Especially if they don't want to be the rollingstones.

I'm depressing myself right now, please respond positivly BUT truthfully

    well, I don't recall ever seeing an article where Mike says, "He doesn't want a carreer as long as the stones." However, I'm pretty sure Pearl jam has many, more years of music to share.
    This album is taking longer because (and this is what I have drawn from the board discussions):
    The band wants to take their time with this album cause there is amazing creativity going on and Brendan O Brien is back on board as producer- so thats gonna be another big plus.
    The band toured quite a bit between 2006- and 07.
    The all did some solo stuff, records, shows ect.

    It's all good man. Hopefully we will get an update soon.

    They all have familes now as well that takes up their time. I would not read to much into all thier favorite songs are from 10-vitalogy.

    Q: Pearl Jam will be celebrating your 20th Anniversary in 2010. Do you see yourself going on indefinitely?
    Stone: It would be thrilling if it happened if we all looked at each other 10-20 years from now and went how did we do this. Wed have to play a crotchety Evenflow with disco brushes. (Laughs) Our fans are gonna be so old theyre not going to be able to hear us anyway so maybe we can be video transformed to look 30 years younger
    Matt: I just dont want to become the Rolling Stones
    Mike: I dont think theres any way we thought our band would last 20 years. Were still talking. Its incredible.
    Jeff: Its pretty insane that weve lasted 20 years. At the start I guessed we might make 3 or 4 records, have a little bit of success and we would have gotten to play with some of our heroes. Probably the biggest fringe benefit is that weve shared stages with Iggy Pop, Henry Rollins, REM, Neil Young, the Rolling Stones and Frank Black the list goes on and on. Thats the little kid dream come true being able to play with all those incredible bands and artists that we grew up loving and we still love.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I think Mike just means that he doesn't want to be a formaldehyde-filled-corpse running around the stage and charging $200 for it. They'll be around as long as they have something to say.

    As much as I would like 2 albums a year I think breaks help keep some bands together.

    The guys in the band are in their early 40's. They are not close to 50!!!

    As far as the new album is concerned...good things come to those who wait...they are taking their time because they want to make it really really good plus they all did their solo stuff and they don't feel the need to to put out a new album every year or two like they did in the beginning of their career.

    3-4 years between albums is not too long...I believe it took AC/DC eight years to put out their new album.

    I think because they were being interviewed about Ten is why they were naming some of their favorite songs from that era...of course they like their newer music too!

    Just chill the new album will be here before you know it...and hopefully a tour too!

    Good point. Why can't people jsut be comfortable and happy with what they have. I live like SPEEDY...I guess it's cliche, but I 'seize the day'. There's no reason to waste a day by bitching and whining about miniscule problems in your life. Somethings just aren't worth losing your glow.

    Life is awesome...and I just wish more people could enjoy it and take it easy...

    Matt: I just dont want to become the Rolling Stones

    Anyway, I've never seen Mike mention the Rolling Stones in the context of Pearl Jam not wanting to be like them, but Matt Cameron did indeed make such a comment in a recent interview.
