It's a bit of a bummer they're not making much headway on a new album. I still don't find it surprising. We've watched many veteran acts slow down their creative input in their later years. I never thought PJ would be immune to what we've seen happen to countless other bands.At least there's 2 parts of being in a rock bands. Recording and Performing. Even if you struggle with one, you've still got the other. The live show's are still pretty damn good, so I'd much prefer the current scenario of 20ish live shows a year to a complete halt. Hope it continues. Album will be gravy whenever it comes out.0

Didn't make Cork. Travel is my first love and I remember having a trip to the Middle East right after so could only afford to see him the once. Though I've managed to combine the two on occasion which is a privilege if you can do it.Stars are suns to other people.

Firenze in 2017 had 50,000 plus and he was the only one noteworthy on the bill.
With regards to the best song I would not worry too much about it. I am sure the band thinks MYM and Sirens were the best off of LB but we all know for most of us there are better offerings.0 -

Jeff says he sounds like a broken record but I don't recall ever reading comments like this before. Does anyone else? I may have just missed them.

Brendan O'Brien has been telling them to get together more and focus on PJ music rather than all the side projects for years. I guess they don't listen to BOB.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

That sucks. Since Jeff and Stone seem interested...I agree with whoever said go get Neil Young and make Mirrorball 2. I certainly don't want PJ to break up, but I'd love to have an album that Stone and Jeff make together with whoever they want. Maybe Shawn Smith? Whatever...I just want some new music from these guys. I like Jeff's album, but I want more!!!! I know, I'm selfish.hippiemom = goodness0

I'm the PJ fan that is sick of the merch conversations and chasing, burned out on boots old and new.
I've only seen about ten PJ live shows, which is nothing compared to so many, but a lot compared to average music fan w/their respective favorite band. I'm definitely excited for another show, but less so then ever by far, due both to me ageing and the band ageing.
The only way I'll ever be truly excited over this band again is new quality music. I've given this band my full intention and passion as a fan since 27 years ago now. They don't owe me anything, but if they're done giving then I probably am too. I can't subsist on scraps anymore.
It's quite obvious that Mike and Jeff are the two guys who are really pushing themselves to keep active in music.
Matt put out a solo album last year, so we know he's still creative and in fighting shape.
I had always wondered if Stone was the guy who is least excited about the band for the last decade, but it sounds like he's ready to get at it right now, which is really exciting news to me. I believe this band is at it's best when Stone is guiding the music. Everybody has added classic songs to the bunch, but Stone's riffs and songs have left room for Ed's best vocals and melodies. I'd argue Ed has to be a better singer when singing Stone's songs.
So at this point, as someone who wants real, quality, original heartfelt songs, I'll take as much Jeff and Stone collaboration as I can get.
I'm realistic about the length of time it takes to write, rehearse, edit, record, mix, master, and prepare marketing and artwork for a major Pearl Jam record. I don't want some half-done internet drop, and the band doesn't either. We all want a classic recorded and packaged album.
If Ed isn't feeling like doing music right now, due to family life, charity work, no interest, etc.whatever...then maybe some configuration of the band makes one without him. That sucks, and could effectively end the band..
But It's else that, or he punches the clock, rolls the sleeves up, dive in to the work.
I'm in a band, I've always been in bands. They're messy and full of small tensions and competitions over which path to send the group down...PJ is no different. But they need to get messy for awhile; try,fail, try again. That's how every band knocks out songs they are proud of.
Sounds like they're waiting for him.
I know I am.0
