Talk to me about Edde Vedder
|
Watching this film on Netflix called ‘Into the Wild’, with Eddie Vedder singing Hard Sun.
Loved his voice, although was never that into Pearl Jam as a kid.
Has an amazing backstory with his parents.
I’m intrigued. Help me fill in a part of my youth that I missed out on...
Has anyone seen him live? What are his best songs? How highly do we rate him?

Later albums have some crackers too, 3 of my favourite PJ tracks are on the last 3 albums
Dance of clairvoyants - gigatron
Sirens - lightening bolt
Just breath - backspacer
All quality and all showing evolution over time. The older I get the more I get into them.

I see many people saying their first three albums are the best. While I don’t disagree (Vitalogy being one of my all time favourites), I would also ass 2006’s self-titled/Avocado album in there.
Somehow, despite being as political as they’ve ever been (it was at the height of the GWB administration and very anti-war), it’s an absolute belter. And the track Come Back always makes me think of my departed brother.
Give it a listen

Interesting voice and lyrics. Otherwise, Pearl Jam were Bon jovi with angst, never really interested me.

ten is an insane achievement. they rode the seattle grunge wave but they were never really that sort of band. ten is just a straight rock masterpiece and every track is a banger.
vedder is a top bloke too. never heard a bad word said about him.

Big rave techno thing in Prague called transmission has been confirmed.
It’s at the O2 and is a 10,000+ venue, if that’s on then PJ should be.

Mother Love Bone was a completely different band. The remains members of that, plus Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, and Eddie Vedder as a guest, formed Temple Of The Dog and did a tribute album to Andrew Wood.
From that Pearl Ham came about - although they were originally calmed Mookie Blaylock, who was their favourite NBA player - but had to change their name because of the threat of legal action.
Their debut album is called Ten because that was his number

Pearl Jam were originally called Mother Love Bone until the lead singer Andrew Wood died of a drug overdose. Chloe Dancer/Crown of thorns is a great song.

Great memory
It was on the word and it was the Jim Ross circus sideshow who were part of the grunge scene and touring with all the 90s bands back then.
They had a guy who could regurgitate at will , he downed some pints and then puked them straight back up into a glass and Vedder drunk it

I’m pretty sure I saw a video once of him drinking some puke, might have been his own. I seem to remember watching it in Parker’s in Brentwood bizarrely. That’s all I’ve got.
