I take that to be a few lashes with a wet noodle as opposed to a torching or head slamming. I got off easy!

2015 is a non year. Solo stuff, and other projects.

I'm probably going to get torched and head slammed for saying this but I'd like to see the band split up for a few years (2 years minimum hiatus), each one venturing out and doing something else for a while, re-unite as a band with new fire and enthusiasm and start putting out killer alums again instead of (to my thinking) the fairly mediocre work of the last few albums (my take- I totally respect that some people are big fans of those albums). Other excellent examples of how this can work include Mission of Burma and Dinosaur Jr. For me, to see PJ do something like Burma and Dino have done that way would be fantastic.

I don't think this is a bad idea. But to me spending 2-3 months a year on Pearl Jam isn't exactly a full-time endeavor. I know Jeff said he hates when people say that and maybe we are missing all of the behind the scenes activities (which I'm sure there is a fair amount of it), but it would be difficult for me to think that they spend half the amount of time on Pearl Jam that I do on my job that is a lot more stressful since I don't have a bank full of millions to fall back on.

The last thing I would want to see is for the band to split up!
Let them get a long free time if it´s needed but never split up! They just shouldn´t become a reunited band !!!
I think they have to get together writing their songs together again.

They should do a month long NYC residency at a theater or other mid sized venue while recording new music at electric lady studio.

Awesome.

pj tour will be great at South America

red mos · March 2015

I would love for them to tour, always do. I think this will be a year for side projects though and a few one off shows/ festival appearances.

primussucks · March 2015

I'd like an EP of some unreleased stuff and a destination weekend at Red Rocks!!

ckravitz · March 2015

Album. A new album will result in a tour to support the album so you get both new material (which lasts forever) and a tour. Pretty much win win. Why, do people think they would put out an album and not tour to support it?

2-feign-reluctance · March 2015

They could pull a 2005 or 2008 style tour - no new album but working on one.

derbydave · March 2015

DEFINITELY TOUR...
Toronto, Montreal & Eastern Canada please!!!

I understand your feeling here, kce8. Perhaps I did not choose my words well. What I'm suggesting (and as we all know almost every big name band in the world is clambering to hear my opinion, right, haha!) is not so much a break up but more like a sabbatical. Back off a while, get inspired, go at it again. Either that or the go all out and become a regular working band again. Look at The Ramones. After their first three or four records they never released anything as good as those early records but they kept at it anyway. That was one hell of a work horse band.

But the bottom line is, I don't really have any major complaints. These guys have put out a great catalog of music, they play their asses off... when they do play... and what more can you ask for? I'm still a fan.

Tour. No other band gets me fired up the way PJ does when I have tix to a show (And I've seen a LOT of bands). The anticipation and then the day of show are just a different feeling for me so I'll take a tour every time.

samjam · March 2015

Tour, definitely. I enjoy seeing a tour on a non-album year, as the setlists seem to be even more varied.

If not a PJ tour, I'd hope to see Ed solo this year. I've only seen 2 of those shows, in 2011, and have been dying to see another show since!

Joostone · March 2015

Definately:
-New RNDM record+tour
-10c spam mails
-South America tour in november

Possible:
-1996/1998 boxset
-New Eddie solo record+tour (I think this is almost a definately

)
-A Mike/Barret Martin/Duff Mckagan/? album
-Matt releases album with Alain Johannes/Ben Sheppard

Wishes:
-Lost Dogs II
-No furhur PJ tours. Would be nice to keep it of the radar for a year.
-That PJ enters the studio again to record whatever comes to mind and just release it. No frenzy...

Not likely:
-New Soundgarden album. I think Chris wants another solo record first.

drummerdude · April 2015

Take some time off but HAVE to come to Vegas soon after ! I'm 61 and want to see them at least one more time while I can still rock

Agree on the no complaints part. As for a sabbatical, I think they were making their best work when they were playing more. Five years is too long between records. I'd like to see them go balls out for a year or two with a record smushed in there somewhere and then walk off into the sunset. Maybe playing a handful of shows now and then for good causes. Maybe a going out on top type of thing. Father time is undefeated and there will be an eventual decline.

Did you EVER think that The Rolling Stones or The Who would still be touring today????
The Who are celebrating their 50th year on this tour...
and The Rolling Stones are going into their 53rd year!!
It really does make you wonder just how much longer PJ will be on the road!!
