Bit too much slagging off of Matt Cameron here for my liking. Great drummer. Listen to some bloody Soundgarden and realise how good he is. Love the new song, especially the anrgy-ish vocals from Eddie. Severed Hand is my favourite song from PJ from recent albums. Great intro, guitars and vocals. Oh man to hear it live again!

Nobody slagged off MC.. Dave Navvaro is a great guitarist , while good with RHCP , he was better with Janes Addiction.
Same principal applies to MC and PJ. As great as he is , id rank him bottom on a list PJs drummer's.

Just listen to him play the Ten era stuff. He plays the songs too clunky and makes them sound like dad rock.

Really impressed with the new single ...the fresh sound,the artwork, the title, the 7 year gestation...I have a feeling this might be the first 21st century PJ album that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the 5 classics from the nineties.

A lot of people seem to be concentrating on this line...:

“Gigaton” concludes with two exquisitely layered, slow-burning tracks. “Retrograde,” which dates back to recording sessions from 2017, is reminiscent of 2010-era Pearl Jam singles such as “Just Breathe” and “Sirens.” The song builds to a massive crescendo as Vedder repeatedly bellows the phrase “feel the sound.”

... which doesn't fill many with much optimism about what's to come

I like Just Breathe, but not really Sirens. Just sounds so overproduced, and kinda lushy ballad type tune that Maroon 5 would come out with.

Sounds ok to me! I'd prefer "layered" to the "knocked off in one take" kind of straight forward rock sons.

Just Breathe was an amazing song. But Sirens - I know what they were trying to do with it, do a sort of Black style ballad. But it just didn't have the power and raw emotion that track had.

Bit of River Cross in an ad during Superbowl. Hard not to be distracted by Harrison Ford talking over it, but sounded decent

Granadino

Find the new single very bad. Nothing in it for me at all.

In fairness I think someone just looped a shorter clip into a longer one, hence the repetition. I like the riff mind you.

Mushy

It's a bit of a meh song. The riff on the released clip was my favourite part

Full version is out now.

Anyone else think that the opening up until Eddie kicks in has a huge Thin Lizzy vibe to it?

Ya, a bit alright. I really like the songs released. I never really over-enthused with the lead off songs that PJ put out before albums before - the likes of world-wide suicide, Mind your Manners, The Fixer. All so formulaic and no great melody.

But there is a different vibe to these I think. Hopefully fingers crossed for a good album

The US Spring tour has been postponed due to Covid 19...

As residents of the city of Seattle, we’ve been hit hard and have witnessed firsthand how quickly these disastrous situations can escalate. Our kids’ schools have closed along with universities and businesses. It’s been brutal and it’s gonna get worse before it gets better.

So we are being told that being part of large gatherings is high on the list of things to avoid as this global health crisis is now beginning to affect all of our lives.

Unfortunately, communing in large groups is a huge part of what we do as a band and the tour we’ve been busy planning for months is now in jeopardy...

We have and will always keep the safety and well-being of our supporters as top priority.

So it is with deep frustration and regret that we are forced to make this most unfortunate of announcements...

This scheduled first leg of our PJ/Gigaton tour will need to be postponed and shows rescheduled for a later date.

We’ve worked hard with all our management and business associates to find other solutions or options but the levels of risk to our audience and their communities is simply too high for our comfort level. Add to that we also have a unique group of passionate fans who travel far and wide. We’ve always been humbled by this and respect their energies and devotion. However in this case, travel is something to avoid.

It certainly hasn’t helped that there’s been no clear messages from our government regarding people’s safety and our ability to go to work. Having no examples of our national health department’s ability to get ahead of this, we have no reason to believe that it will be under control in the coming weeks ahead.

Again, here in Seattle what we are witnessing we would not wish for anyone. What we do wish for the rest of the country is that they can avoid the harsh negative effects of this and retain their sense of community and take care of one another. Just as we look forward to our next concerts and the ability to gather together and play loud songs as energized as ever.

We are so sorry…

And deeply upset...

If anyone out there feels the same based on this news, we share that emotion with you.

- Ed & Pearl Jam


Ticketing

We understand it is important to know how ticketing will work. Ticketmaster will be in touch shortly, but current tickets will be honored for the new dates.


https://pearljam.com/news/spring-tour-postponed

Given that this has happened, I imagine there is now the ultimate case of 'wait and see' going on with the Euro tour.

eviltimeban

Damn, I have tickets for London. I do wonder where this situation will be come July.

Snippet of Who Ever Said released (only saw it on Facebook). Sounds decent, hopefully its reflective of the full song though

With everything going on, I forgot all about the new album coming out. What date again?

Would people have attended Gigaton playthroughs in cinemas anyway ? Who knows. Probably not.

Btw , Iron Maiden called , they want their song title back..
