Titolo: nuova? intervista a stone

 
          non so quanto nuova sia questa intervista ma ve la passo lo stesso.
          voci di corridoio confermano che non li vedremo in Italia nel 2005, del
resto mi sembra scontato a questo punto.
vediamo di consolarci con il nuovo disco dei brad che dovrebbe essere uscito
ma di cui io non so ancora niente per il semplice fatto che non ho avuto
molto tempo di controllare.
niente di nuovo nell'intervista. il disco nuovo dei pj potrebbe essere
morbido o rock, insomma stone non lo sa neanche lui e se non lo sa lui
figuriamoci noi!!!
a presto

Jeremy spoke in class again today, and the word he mouthed was Canada. Pearl
Jam, authors of the classic song about the grade school misfit and
co-founders of the grunge movement along with fellow Seattle rockers
Nirvana, are hitting the road this summer for a tour of the Great White
North.
Included on their cross-country trek is a Sept. 9 stop in Thunder Bay, where
they will play what promises to be a sold out show at Fort William Gardens.
Die hard fans are already lined up at the rink for tickets, which go on sale
Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at a cost of $59.50 each (not including services
charges).
It's not hard to tell the members of Pearl Jam are psyched about their visit
north of the border. The Canadian anthem drones over the intro on the band's
official website, and the tour announcement is listed ahead of their opening
gig for the Rolling Stones in Pittsburgh later this fall.
"It's the first time we've ever done Canada proper, which is a little
shameful, but yet at the same time we're excited about breaking new ground
and sort of getting up there and really spending enough time to really see
the place," said Pearl Jam rhythm guitarist Stone Gossard in an exclusive
interview with Rock 94 program director and morning show host Brad Hilgers.
The tour, which starts in Vancouver on Sept. 2 and winds up in St. John's on
Sept. 24, will be a welcome break for Gossard and his mates, which include
lead singer Eddie Vedder, bassist Jeff Ament and lead guitarist Mike
McCready.
Pearl Jam has spent much of the past few months in and out of studio
recording their latest album, expected to be released in and around the time
they hit the stage in Thunder Bay.
"We don't know an exact date," said Gossard. "We're close to the endzone but
we haven't got there yet. These things tend to take a little more time than
you ever expect them to. We're just kind of in the process. We imagine the
record's going to be out in September."
Gossard said it's too early to tell what the new record, currently without a
title, will sound like, although the rumour mill runs rampant anytime they
hit the studio and this time is no different, with several insiders saying
it will have a more upbeat feel than their latest studio offerings. Gossard
was a little more cautious, saying an up tempo theme might be stretching it
a little. "I wish I could go ahead and say that, but there's a lot of songs
and we haven't picked what songs are going to be on the record. We're still
figuring it out. It could be atmospheric. Who knows? I think there's going
to be some rock songs," he said. "That's part of the process we're going
through right now, letting the cream come to the top."
Gossard, who has also played with Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog, Brad
and has even done some solo work, said the process of making a Pearl Jam
album has slowly begun to change over the years. Instead of rushing into the
studio with a mitt full of songs and getting it over and done with as fast
as humanly possible, the quintet prefers to take its time these days and let
their experience be their guide along the recording path. "We sort of more
go in for seven or eight days, 10 days, go out for two weeks (and go) back
in. It just gives you a little bit more perspective in terms that you get to
listen to stuff, what's sounding finished and exciting and live and what
sounds not complete and needs to be reworked," he said. Famous for recording
and making available live concerts of themselves, Gossard imagined at least
one of the Canadian stops would likely be released at some point in time.
Fans can expect to hear both old and new Pearl Jam when they hit the stage
in Thunder Bay.
"We will play some (old) songs for sure. I'm sure we'll dip back into the
archives. It should be a good show. The band has been playing really well
lately. The band has been firing on all cylinders lately. I think it's going
to be a pretty good time."

insomma, potrebbe essere qualsiasi cosa tra la boiata pazzesca ed il
capolavoro... ;-)
beh, consoliamoci con la (quasi assoluta) certezza dell'album per il 2005.
Che fino ad ora pare un altro anno da dimenticare, cosi' come quello appena
trascorso. Poi si vedrà...
e capiremo se sarà ancora bello avere una band come i pj su cui contare, o
se sarà meglio augurarsi che cali il sipario in maniera onorevole, prima che
si riducano a raschiare il fondo del barile come si è ormai (ahimè) ridotto
il buon billy corgan. Io, anche se solo per una volta, voglio essere ancora
(moderatamente) fiudcioso...
ciao
