Seems like this leak from late 2008 was on the money...

Well, I have AT&T, so hopefully someone can upload these clips.

I learned the hard way that having a Pearl Jam ringtone makes me kind of dislike the song after a while, so I wouldn't get one anyway. I'm just waiting for the Rockband release of Backspacer.

there's 2 (actually 3) things that piss me off with this:
- giving stuff first to Verizon customers rather than us fee-paying 10c members.
- excludes non-US )(though that one is a constant :roll: )

- But worse of all the bullshit about not allowing to share audience recordings because 2the band wants people to hear their music in the best possible quality".. and yet they let people hear new songs FOR THE FIRST TIME through a fucking ringtone??! :evil: :shake:
(I even got banned from the message pit just for calling it bullshit.. maybe I should ask for an apology)

They are just clips of the songs. Not full songs.

Anyone can listen to the clip. You don't have to have Verizon. Just click that link in the Got Some thread.

(I haven't listened to it yet since I'm at work)

Ever since Conan I've been thinking "bah, just wait for the studio version, Ed's voice will sound better".

I was wrong.

Usually I would totally agree. But regardless of sound quality, Ed sounds pretty bad on this. In fact, an even crisper studio version would make it sound worse.

I'm just sayin...

You havent heard the whole song, how can you say ed sounds like shit on the song? or even tired? you havent even heard it. you CAN say "in this 10 second clip, he sounds tired"

but people are already tossing off the entire song, which is hilarious.

Fair point. We'll see.

Yep, in all likelihood Ed just got tired and winded during that one part of the song they chose to release. :haha:

Maybe, just maybe, it was conscious artistic decision on Ed's part to sing it this way. Not that I'm a fan of his choice, though.

So is that 10 second preview all you get if you buy it? Or do you get the whole song, or a bigger clip?

I'd bet you get like 20-25 seconds. But, watch out, sometimes they just play that 10 seconds twice.

So here are the urls to the mp3's for the previews. Perhaps the other songs are already in the same folder and we just need to figure out the file name? :D
