For the next album.......

Write a song specifically designed to be performed as a duet, and co written by both bands. A hard rockin', up tempo song featuring someone with a little "younger driven" enthusiasm. My thought being, to push Ed, and the band to a yet another level/direction.

My first thought was Brandon Flowers/The Killers. To me, a mixture of these 2 bands may produce something very exciting.

Your thoughts on this AND some of your choices. Thanks.

I'm not sure that a two band song would work out well. How about a guest artist with Pearl Jam as their backing band like Mirror Ball? And a song written by Pearl Jam and the guest artist? For me, a female singer would be preferable.

Mike's a fan of Avril Lavigne.

I still want to see Ed do a duet with Mark Lanegan

I have no desire to see Pearl Jam play with another band. Too crowded

I guess it came out wrong. What I meant by that was, have the two bands collaborate on the music theoretically, maybe have the Killers one guitarist and drummer play "on the record" in place of Stone and Matt, and have the singer duet with Ed. Something to that effect. To have all musicians taking part would be ludicrous for sure. I was just trying to point out a scenerio of 2 different flavours blending. I think the result might be surprisingly fantastic.

Pearl Jam w/

The Strokes
R.E.M. (Ed on the uke and Mike Mills on mandolin )
Social Distortion

That's all I can think of at the moment.

My dream duet would be:
for a slower kind of song definetely Norah Jones, for a hard rocker my choice is Brandon Boyd of Incubus. That would be awsome!

id love to hear ed and jackson browne singing together!

Hmm...I heard Avril had trouble finding a backup band.

I was actually really thinking in terms of someone like Lisa Germano.

ive been listening to cat power's 'good woman' a lot recently. love eds backing vocals. it would be good to see something similar to this.

Yea, I love that song! Ed and Chan should do some more songs together.




That could be pretty cool, too.

now that would be amazing

and i really dont want to see the whole band play with another full band,

please, not the killers. i see these clowns on this hi def loop at work every day, about a billion times. i dont ever want to see those two bands on the same stage. plus they suck live.

How about Ed with Scott Weiland? Do they know each other? Are they friendly?

ed and stone writing good songs again.

It's nice to think of maybe, but I could only see collaboration coming from someone the likes of Springsteen, Tom Petty or Neil Young, or maybe a surviving Ramone.

You don't consider LIFE WASTED and PARACHUTES good songs?

What was the last good song they wrote?
