Bei bootlegs.pearljam.com kann man sich den ersten Song der neuen CD anhören und runterladen. Hier gibts auch schon die Lyrics dazu:

WORLDWIDE SUICIDE
(lyrics: Vedder, music: Gossard)

I felt the earth on Monday. It moved beneath my feet.
In the form of a morning paper. Laid out for me to see.

Saw his face in a corner picture. I recognized the name.
Could not stop staring at the. Face I’d never see again.

It’s a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over

It’s the same everyday in a hell manmade
What can be saved, and who will be left to hold her?

The whole world…World over.
It’s a worldwide suicide.

Medals on a wooden mantle. Next to a handsome face.
That the president took for granted.
Writing checks that others pay.

And in all the madness. Thought becomes numb and naive.
So much to talk about. Nothing for to say.

It’s the same everyday and the wave won’t break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

Laying claim to the take that our soldiers save
Does not equate, and the truth’s already out there

The whole world,… World over.
It’s a worldwide suicide.

The whole world,… World over.
It’s a worldwide suicide.

Looking in the eyes of the fallen
You got to know there’s another, another, another, another
Another way

It’s a shame to awake in a world of pain
What does it mean when a war has taken over

It’s the same everyday and the wave won’t break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder

The whole world,… World over.
It’s a worldwide suicide.

The whole world,… World over.
It’s a worldwide suicide.

efroten, einem User vom Pearl Jam-Forum Red-Mosquito hatte das Glück die Hälfte der neuen Platte schon zu hören. Hier sein Bericht:

»I was one lucky bastard today. I was invited to go to a Sony/BMG records meeting in which 6 of the new PJ songs were played for staff. I’m not excactly sure how to describe what I heard, and I didn’t take notes but I will try to describe as much as possible.

1st off, crapshoot IS comatose. As the songs were played each song title was mentioned for the song was played. The last song I heard was Comatose, when it came on I instantly recognized it. Straight up 100%, and it was fucking raw as shit, almost like they recorded it in one take. Even had a little banter at the end of one of the guys saying something like „that was pretty good“ or something like that. The one main thing I remember about it was how huge that openning riff sounded.

These are the rest of the songs they played (i think in this order, I could be wrong about the first two names)…

• Inside Job
• Life Wasted
• Worldwide Suicide
• Unemployable
• Parachutes
• Comatose

edit – looks like i heard Severred Hand, not Inside Job.

I came in the room and the first song was already started, and I remember thinking that if this was pearl jam, they are finally back. Im pretty sure it was inside job, but dont quote me.

Dont remember much of the 1st and 2nd tracks other than they just sounded flat out great. Just really upbeat and hard hitting. And ed sounded really energetic, FINALLY.

Ok, Worldwide Suicide. Let me jsut say that they picked the worst fucking 15 seconds of the song to preview on the radio. This song blew my socks off. You will all realize wednesday, this song is fucking sick.

Unemployable was also great, I think it may have been a tad bit slower than the other tracks, but i dont remember for sure. I only heard these songs once after all.

Parachutes, wow. This was a more acoustic song, almost a ballad. It reminded me a bit of Light Years as far as the tempo goes. And, you may be interested to know that this was the only song that I heard any organ/Boom. There was a little solo a ways in, but I didnt notice any other organ.

Overall, I’m really happy to say that they FINALLY have captured the way they sound live, in the studio. And, Ed sounding energetic as fuck was really exciting. I see why Mike early on was saying that this sounded more like VS. This album is going to be big, I dont know about Green Day big, but its going to sell better than the previous two records did, hands down.

As one of the reps said in the meeting „its good to know we have a pearl jam record we can actually get behind“. Also, I guess the radio station feedback was really great, since I guess they have the track and have heard it, but cant play it. They even mentioned the Indy leak last week.

One sad note, I heard not a single Mike solo anywhere. Hopefully this will be fixed once we hear the rest of the album.«

Hier gibts die ganze Diskussion.

Frank hat in Australien einen Iren getrofffen und mit ihm in Deutschland paar Aufnahmen seiner Lieder gemacht. Diese Lieder kann man hier downloaden. Und das sollte man tun. Der pure Wahnsinn! Danke Iv, ich hätte es bestimmt wieder übersehen.

Und, lieber Dieter B., solche Leute haben das Zeug zum Superstar, aber was rege ich mich auf …

Wie Tunelabmusic.com meldet, soll das neue, noch unbetitelte Pearl Jam-Album am 2. Mai auf J Records erscheinen. Die erste Single daraus trägt angeblich den Titel „World Wide Suicide“ und soll ab Mitte März im US-Radio zu hören sein.

Hier kann man den schon zu hörenden Songschnipsel downloaden!

»Die englische Rockband Coldplay wird auf unbestimmte Zeit von der Bildfläche verschwinden. Bei der Vergabe der britischen Popmusik-Preise Brit Awards am Mittwochabend in London kündigte der Sänger der Band Chris Martin an, dass die Gruppe in der nächsten Zeit bei solchen Gelegenheiten nicht mehr auf der Bühne stehen werde.«

Konkret sagte er: »This means so much to us, especially now. You won’t see us at one of these for many, many years.« Weiter: »People are fed up with us – and so are we.« Keiner weiss was das nun konkret bedeutet. Hauptsache nicht das Ende!
