    I never saw him onstage once. Where was he? I was right of the stage but pretty close where I had a great view…but couldn’t see behind Stone. Is that where he was?

    Here was my view. Both him and Boom were out of sight.

    Love it.  Let him out on stage! If he wants to

    I think what’s most strange is him agreeing to do it since he has his own band. So I think it might be temporary as long as he is opening

    Arena shows there will be no hiding him really with the back opened up.

    Extra percussion on DOTC. At least there is on the studio version.

    Welcome to the tour Josh!  I have a challenge for you…learn Brendan’s part on Gremmie and let’s debut that song for Ohana Encore.  I look forward to hearing you then regardless if Gremmie makes the actual set list.

    I bet the pay is fantastic, not to mention the experience, so I think it would be an easy 'sure, I'll do it'. I agree that this is probably the situation as long as he's the opener.

    I don't think Josh is going to write songs on future albums. I can't be certain but I don't think touring musicians write on bands albums. Unless they're one of those people who writes songs for many artists. Pearl Jam doesn't need help. Boom writing on LBC was a one time thing.  And I don't think Eddie was specifically writing for a new Pearl Jam album at the time.

    Hope not when they added him they for some reason then got a keyboard player. Boom is enough in the band & definitely don't like it when plays on the older songs that there are no keyboards on

    Wasn't he already in the band in the beginning. He was in their first music video

    Not sure how I feel, don’t think they really need 4 guitarists. Or a piano if they have Boom. Do they really need him for just the Gigaton songs?
    Wonder how long this has been planned, he did that quarantine video with PJ a year and half ago. And was on Ed’s new solo album.

    All things considered…I don’t think it matters how we feel about Josh touring with the band, the band obviously feel they need him there for the parts he’ll play. Good luck to him for this small tour and into the future.

    I also have a suspicion that Eds gonna form a solo album touring band around him.


    This would make sense as he played with Ed already at the Vax Live event…

    I bet he's not just for guitars....I think he's jack of all trades type of thing; percussion, backing vocals, maybe some lead vocals when ed needs a break, and Ed's third guitar parts if he just wants to sing.
