    I hope Pearl Jam makes a Christmas gospel album and then has a limited run of five hundred copies on candy cane scented red and white swirled vinyl with a Klausen designed Advent Calendar thrown in for good measure. Then all of the sudden everyone who says they'd stop following the band if they ever did these things will instead start bitching about how not enough copies were made and they didn't get one and now they have to trade five bottles of beer and one of those Verizon Wireless goodie bags from the 2008 tour just to get one...

    For the record, and this might sound funny, but i work at music production company owned by a gospel legend and I think an Eddie gospel album would be awesome and im not joking. Im not talking churchy, religious lyrics, im talking about eddie with an acoustic and a choir backing him up...
    ie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvMFdAtsRTg


    come on, this would be cool people.
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    I posted that over on the gospel thread and pointed out that people would go apeshit if they did something like that on record, but no one bothers to look at actual evidence that something could work. It's more important to complain.

    Advent Calender with No Code-esque polaroids representing each day's chocolate, but instead be Christmas pictures. And an ultra rare limited edition Dogfish Head Egg Nog with that :D

    I initially was against the gospel album thing, but then rewatching the video of Eddie performing My City of Ruins reminded me how much I liked his version of the song. But I didn't mean to marry the two ideas in this thread. I was just referencing the other thread.

    For all the criticism there was over the Christmas album idea, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that its a good idea. Eddie just made an album full of Ukelele songs, and instead of losing his fanbase, he probably grew his fanbase by attracting coffee shop hipsters and easy listening music fans. I think that he could easily pull off a fantastic Christmas album and keep his credibility intact. The guy is a musical genius.

    And maybe I wouldn't complain if there was a Christmas tour to go with the album. :)

    Wow, so you're painting all PJ fans with the same brush? Not everyone on this board lives and dies for merchandise alone, or is a fan of the band for reason alone. I know I speak for many who don't really care for every single scrap of merchandise that is/has been for sale in the goods section. It's just stuff.

    Those of us who only ever buy meaningful merch (i.e. posters of shows we've personally attended, an EV Zippo cuz there's no other way to light up ;) or the faulty Alpine Valley hoodie cuz of that "it's OK to fuck up" PJ-philosophy...etc), wouldn't even spit on that 'oh-so-special' gospel Christmas album you described. What's the big deal with coloured vinyl anyway? And the only other thing I need from Klausen now is his signature on my PJ20 shoes :lol: certainly not an advent calendar!

    And speaking for myself, I'm not against the gospel or christmas album ideas for reasons of religious beliefs, just don't like cheesy, tacky moves by otherwise great bands :mrgreen:
    if I keep holding out,.... will the light shine through?

    just to make sure i understand this....if pearl jam makes a Christmas album/gospel album...some fans say they will stop being fans or question their fanhood?

    Yay!! Better seats for me!!

    They have already done like 3 christmas songs.. and as far as a band onits last legs... I remember seeing Bad Religion in 93 and they played a whole set of Christmas songs for the q101 twisted Christmas. One was called Leon.

    Stop taking life so seriously, some of the best music out there makes me laugh.

    Besides, you know alot of people would buy a cd that had 2 songs and 50 minutes of studio banter and noodling.

    Dylan, Cash, Elvis have all done both Christmas and Gospel. So....

    I hear Scott Weiland is putting a Christmas album out.

    And yeah, it's more than jumping the shark, it's desperation.

    The local soft favorites station here just started playing Christmas music. How much better would it be with Eddie singing some Christmas classics? Maybe even a duet with Josh Groban?

    The video is even more embarrassing!!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W0B-1iF6S4
    Looks just like the "With arms wide open" Creed video!!

    Only thing more ridiculous would be posting the pictures of him drinking water/gatorade out of his wine bottle.

    I'm not so keen on xmas, I don't like Let me sleep that much, definetly I don't like Someday at Christmas and the 2007 xmas single... I like She & him, the band, I bought their xmas album but I didn't enjoyed it much, I like the band, I like how she sings, her voice, but I didn't like the songs much, buying that album may be considered a #FAIL... I'm certain that the outcome of a PJ or an EV xmas album will be at least okay because they are very talented and gifted, however, I'd rather they didn't release that... xmas songs are so... argh... is there a word for that?
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    Another thing to add...if Bruce Springsteen can pull it off, I think Eddie/PJ could pull it off. I know not everyone likes Bruce here, but nobody is knocking on his credibility.

    I know many don't like Christmas tunes. I'm not one of them,
    I'll be getting my basket of cd's out today to enjoy for the first time this season.

    The music marks the start of the holidays and hearing Dino, Bing, Louie and Elvis ...
    my Motown Christmas too, brings back memories of my parents and sister who have
    left this world.

    Music another way to keep close.

    When I am gone it would be nice to have an Eddie or PJ Christmas album for my kids
    to listen too ... my spirit would be close.
