Le forum francophone des fans de Pearl Jam

Je n'ai pas trouvé de sujet sur les Gaslight alors je me permets d'en créer un, il y a quelques fans par ici il me semble. Nouvel album Handwritten pour cet été, tournée (dont le Zenith à Paris avec Soundgarden) quelques festoches, et espérons une vraie tournée cet automne, que du bon!

Un article du Uncut de ce mois.

Brian Fallon is in a van when Uncut calls, just leaving Nashville, on his way home to New Jersey. About fourteen hours he reckons, but with two of his band mates sharing the driving, nothing too onerous and nothing The Gaslight Anthem haven't endured umpteen variations on before.

The band have spent five weeks at Nashville's Blackbird Studio, recording Handwritten, their fourth LP- and first for new label Mercury. It is produced by Brendan O'Brien, producer of a run of 21st century LPs for Bruce Springsteen. It will not, evidently, mark the point at which the Anthem distance themselves from their inspiration and mentor.

"Yeah," says Fallon. "I did think of that, that everyone's gonna bring up the Bruce thing again, but I've always said let's just do what works. And who better to make it sound like us and not like Bruce than the guy who did Bruce? He knows all of Bruce's tricks, right? And anyway, he said he didn't think we sounded like Bruce."

Really? "Yeah I said 'Really?', too" laughs Fallon. "But it's a much heavier sound than before. It's a real guitar rock record, loud and heavy. We normally have kind of jangly indie guitars, and it's not like that. If I have to compare it to anything, it sounds like Tom Petty songs played by Pearl Jam or Foo Fighters."

This is something of a surprise. Last summer, while promoting the debut LP The Horrible Crowes- a side project he established with Gaslight Anthem roadie Ian Perkins- Fallon told New York Magazine he was just bored and didn't want to write any more rock 'n' roll songs.

"Which was true at the time," he says. “So I immersed myself in non-rock 'n' roll things, did that acoustic Revival Tour in Europe [with Dan Andriano, Chuck Ragan and Dave Hause]. After six weeks of that there's nothing you want to hear more than a Marshall stack turned all the way up."

Fallon reveals Handwritten will contain 11 tracks, and parts with the titles of three- 'Here Comes My Man', '45' and 'Handwritten'. For all that Fallon suggests it's a raucous rock 'n' roll, he admits he learnt from the more measured approach taken on the Horrible Crowes' (terrific) album, Elsie. "That really affected how I was writing," he explains. "The reason for the title of Handwritten is that everything was written almost as journals- the songs are real stories about my life and things that my friends have gone through. I just trimmed all the fat, made it as direct as it could be.

Fallon refers, with heartening guilessness, to Bruce's progression from the impressionistic lyrical jumbles of Greetings From Asbury Park, to the more straight forward writing in his later work. "He's helped deal with the changes as they come," says Fallon. "He's good at reminding you it's only a rock 'n' roll band. Even if you get rich, it's just a house, it's just a car, you're just a guy."

Fallon has shared the stage with Bruce more than once, most famously at Hyde Park in 2010. Did that endless sea of faces not look at all daunting from behind the microphone? "I'll take it," say Fallon. "I want it. I'm still a kid in a candy store with this stuff."

Bien hâte de l'écouter ce nouvel album !!

J'aime bien ces nouveaux morceaux! Ca promet un bel album.

De la 1ère partie de Soundgarden au Zénith, où ils étaient finalement plus audibles que la tête d'affiche du soir, je retiens une sorte de mi-chemin entre Bruce Springsteen et Bon Jovi, sans doute sous le coup du bon air iodé du New Jersey.
Soul Asylum avait déjà parfaitement réussi le coup, en son temps, me semble t-il...
Bref, propre, bien fait, sages sur scène dans un costume de nice guys next door, rien qui ne me donnerait envie de pousser la curiosité un peu plus loin. Je me trompe sans doute.
Au moins avaient-ils eu le bon coup de faire des balances ce soir là, ou tout au moins de ne pas s'engueuler avec toute l'équipe technique et d'éviter qu'elle ne se venge en sabotant le concert...

lol

Ils seront à L'Ancienne Belgique le 21 octobre.

Et la Cigale à Paris le 4 novembre.

Déjà mes places pour l'AB

je sais pas si c'est parce que je suis à fond dedans ces derniers temps mais ce nouvel album est mon préféré. J'ai hâte de les voir sur scène....

Au passage leur concert à lollapalooza avec un Brian Fallon qui arbore un joli t-shirt de Pearl Jam.

yes, vraiment bon cet album, pas mon préféré mais il y a de très bonnes choses. on sent la patte d'Obrien, et bien sûr, l'influence omniprésente du Boss.. J'étais très impatient de cette sortie et dans l'ensemble je ne suis vraiment pas déçu, good job !!!

un peu deçu après la première écoute, alors que j'avais instantanément accroché sur American Slang
ce n'est qu'une première écoute il est vrai...
