    Someone needs to ask them the following:  "Hey guys - now that you have your own radio station on Sirius, have you considered a Self-Pollution/Monkeywrench Radio, especially considering we're all in quarantine?"   I will try to ask this, but hopefully someone else will give it a shot, too.
    Great question! That would be awesome.

    I will be away when this happens. Would someone please post the transcript? Thanks in advance!
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Hope someone asks Stone if there are plans to use the song Sunburn on an upcoming album or a Lost Dogs 2.
    I love that song. It is a shame it has never been put on an album.

    This is Mike McCready and Stone Gossard from Pearl Jam. AUA


    Hey reddit, hope everyone’s staying safe and sane out there. We (along with Eddie, Jeff and Matt) released our 11th studio album Gigaton last week and are incredibly humbled by everyone’s response to it so far.

    Sounds like this will probably be more overwhelming than the live chat thing when the album came out.

    Do they compile these in list form when it’s over?

    It's cool that they're doing this. I asked, "Which songs from Gigaton do you most look forward to playing live?" Seems like the type thing they'd be interested in talking about.

    They just leave it as is, so you'll have to sift through everything.

    Hey guys! I'm a moderator over at r/pearljam, and just wanted to say feel free to say hi whenever you'd like!


    Depends on the song. I usually am confident that Stone will come up with something great for my songs.On Retrograde he came up with the atmospheric melody in the first part of the chorus.Sometimes ED will have a fixed Idea on how a rythm should be played with references like " make it sound like the KInks" Jeff will have specific melodic leads that he will want me to play. I usually like to hear what the guys will come up with on their own.Mike

    MIKE:

    One of the many things I love about your solos is how good you are at phrasing.

    From ‘Alive’ to ‘Life Wasted’ to ‘Quick Escape’… You’re lightning-fast and yet you always develop such clear, focused, melodic phrases.

    …phrases that combine to become almost an entirely new composition over (or within) the arrangement proper.

    Could you talk about how you approach the “composition” of a solo like this?

    (I’m particularly interested in how you approach what you know will be the album version, but live soloing is, of course, interesting as well…)

    Thank you!


    Chris, I usually just go with the first 2 leads that Im feeling. Composition for me comes in songwriting more than leads. One example of comp. on a lead is Sirens.I specifically wrote that as a part for the song> I wanted to have the delay note at the end emulate a Siren going by.thanks

    Hi there. Quick escape has a very rare (and wonderful) effect on the guitar, on the solo, how do they do that? With any pedal, which one? greetings from Argentina


    What solo ... first or second...? the first solo is me and he had lots of crap on it... harmonizer and octaver plus tons of distortion.... Thats all Josh Evans on effects choice . It might be guitar direct into the board and distortion with preamps .. i do love that line though.. stone

    Hi stone! Buckle up is one of my favorite songs in the album, is there something you can tell us about how did you wrote it? The riff is something that got stuck in my head since the first time, can't wait to hear it live!

    Cheers from Mexico!


    i wrote the riff in Santiago Chile in my hotel before our first show in SA last time we were there.. i think. i wrote lyrics in seattle about a year ago . it was the last song that was brought to band right at the end of making the record ...fall last year. i love the simplicity of the song> Jeff Ament came in and threw wicked lyrical bass and keys on it right away and the rest is history.. Thank you so much for enjoying. It makes makes me very happy. we rehearsed a few times ... its gonna be gooooooood.
