    “Um, maybe halfway there. We’re taking our time. I was talking to Jeff [Ament] today, we were texting, he’s got his group up there. He’s heading to the West Coast, I’m heading east. And we’re out here like, you know, like Johnny Appleseed. He’s covering part of the country. I’m doing the other. And at some point we’ll join forces again for sure, but the band is as healthy as ever and I’m sure it’s good to get a little break from each other, but it’s nice to – we’ll be ready to go when we’re ready to go.”

    “It just comes out. It sounds like it sounds like. We really work together as a unit these days. It’s really the compilation of all the parts. It’s not like one guy trying to tell everybody, “These are my songs. This is what it should sound like.” We’ve figured out after all these years that if everybody just puts their stamp on it, then it sounds how we want it to. Then it sounds new, ’cause everyone is growing, you know. Everyone is growing after all these years.”

    Blah Blah Blah.He said the same thing in '10,'11,and '12.PJ need to do a real,proper tour for once.Not 2 weeks,12 gigs,and thats it for the year.

    DMB just completed a short winter tour.15 dates in 3 weeks.I went to 4 of the shows.The last night in Philadelphia Dave said "These short tours are such a tease.For us,as a band,and the fans.See you guys soon." Amen.

    New album ,and a full tour from Pearl Jam in 2013 please.Very frustrating for me,as I know this wont happen anymore.

    don't know much, almost nothing about him ..
    so why he makes these short tours? he hates his fans? he gets bored at home? money?
    maybe it's even worse saying that somehow
  3. No,DMB tour more than any band over the last 15 years actually.They played 43 dates over the Summer,which is short for DMB.They all have families,and are cutting back on dates.

    This short winter tour,is actually a full tour for PJ these days.
  4. i was just teasing you Ed hehehe
    still i don't understand the reason of that sentence when? at the end of a mini tour
    don't say that or don't do that in my opinion
  5. I think all he meant was,he wished they could have toured a bit longer.But,being it was the holidays and all,they couldnt.

    They (DMB) have always toured like mad.PJ for the last 6-7 years,havent.

    Its been close to 3 years since they last played a "tour" in the States.I dont count the 4 dates in Sept,that was festivals,and it wasnt a tour.May 2010,was a tour,and only 13 gigs.IMO,that was a tease.
  6. I know alot of you feel "its better than nothing".That is true,but the way I look at it is ,why get a crew,roadies,all the merch people etc,to go out for 3 weeks,and thats a wrap,for the entire year in the States.Even worse,they released Backspacer in Sept '09,and only played 4 gigs on the east coast (Philly),played Australia in Nov,then stopped touring for 6 months.How was that supporting Backspacer ?

    Whats even more perplexing,is the non release of the Alpine gigs ,from Sept 2011.These shows were a celebration of PJ20.Cornell guested,and no,we wont release them.As we all know,PJ have releasesd basically every show since 2000.So,whats the deal with these show from Alpine ?

    But hey,at least its good to know Brad are touring Europe...LOL
  7. 23 feb at Magazzini Generali .. can't wait
  8. Hey Stone,play Mankind !!!!

    I love on PJ.com its says "Note : this is not a Pearl Jam show"...really ? no shit...LOL
  9. i put my soul in peace
    2012 Matt
    2013 Stoney
    2014 Jeff
    2015 Eddie (maybe)
    2016 all together

    hehe
  10. about Alpine Valley .. the latest Holyday Single could mean something is moving ..
  11. I wonder as to why they have waited on Alpine ? Very strange IMO.
