  3. Mike about the new album

    "If you're a Pearl Jam fan you're going to love it," says a proud Mike of the album, "and even if you're not, maybe it'll turn you into one!"

    Mike explained that the writing process for the album before recording began with longtime friend and producer Brendan O'Brien was a drawn-out affair even by the Seattle legends' standards.

    "We started it two years ago," says Mike, "then we had to pull back. We finished seven songs two years ago and we had to take some time to figure out what we wanted to do. And write some more songs. So about four months ago we started up again with a brand new batch of songs to go along with those.

    "I think getting away from them and taking the time to do it, and discussing with Brendan O'Brien who is producing it, having many meetings between ourselves about these things, yet keeping it fresh while we were recording it."

    And the guitarist believes that taking their time has definitely paid off.

    "I think it's helped. I think it's going to be really cool record and I'm very excited about it. Every artist says that about their new thing but I feel like we've been through a long journey to get there and it was totally worth it."
  4. Waiting and waiting....
  5. Same here. Hoping to hear good news at some point today. I would hate to depend on ticketmaster for all my shows.
  6. Matt, you're going to hate this. Some additional tickets were released for the London show! Unlucky!
  7. Always the same, they build a stage and then find out there can be more sold, same with U2 for almost every show.
  8. Same with every band and almost every show.

  9. That's (almost) funny that they did that!

    Well, I'll just laugh it off and rationalize that I very well may not have got these new tickets anyway. Also, I would have gone crazy thinking "should I stay or should I go?" over the past month.

  10. Oh, yeah...the draw is today!

    I haven't heard anything yet. Do they contact you, "win or lose?"

  11. I was "mock" trying to get to tickets to tomorrow's show - just to see if I could. I think the website is overloaded as it keeps freezing on me.
  12. ^Sold out.
