I actually met Eddie in Seattle after playing a huge bar. He’s one of the nicest Rock wonders I’ve ever met. He’s really an upbeat guy considering a lot of his songs can get dark!! We asked him not to forget us when they became rich and famous. So he took out names and addresses. After their 1st album came out, he sent me and my cousin a signed cover of his first album!!

Wow is right. He was probably drunk or in a really good mood. All I hear is what an asshole he is. I’ve gotten that vibe from him as well in interviews & friends who tried talking or get him to sign something & him totally ignoring & told a friend of mine to F**k off. This was back in the 90’s. Maybe he got nicer w/age, idk? But back then, not a good guy. DEFINITELY no Chris Cornell. That’s for sure. I’ve heard stories of Eddie from reliable sources that he’d tell ppl not to look directly at him backstage. Like his own roadies. Idk when you had an encounter w/him, but I’ve heard bad things. I mean it’s no secret, a lot of ppl have said it & been written about. 🤷♂️

@@keithwessel3531 My cousin Kim, married a close friend of ours Jay. His family lived in like a suburb of Seattle. Jay was into some bad stuff back in 89, but also made friends with a lot people in Seattle’s Rock arena. Before they were “Pearl Jam”, they played at a bar that Jay knew very well. So for almost a whole week, we watched them play, then partied with them after. I don’t know who you spoke with, or why they spoke of him that way. The guy I met, was a very down to earth guy. I do know he went through some dark times after losing friends. But I’ve never heard of him acting in such a way, that he would actually make anyone not look at him. He could have been caught at a bad time, or going through hard times. Fame can work against people so, who knows.

@@chrisstone5868 well, I think you nailed it. You met him Before he was famous if it was 89-90. So, I’m sure then he was cool. As soon as they were 1 of the the top bands in the world is when he changed & became a prima Donna. Like I said, it was even written in magazines. I wouldn’t know, when Ten came out, GNRS’s was my band & only heard PJ On the radio. So, I didn’t pay much attention to them. But ppl I hung w/would tell me or I overheard it. Doesn’t matter now I guess. As I said Axl was an asshole & I loved him. So, you may be bias? Both are big boys now & Axl actually is on time. I was kinda comparing Eddie to Chris. Which isn’t fair cause Very Few were like CC. But, they were all cool during the bar days. It seems the guys who’s debut album makes them go from nobody to famous worldwide are the 1’s. Guns 1st album Huge, PJ 1st album huge. Nirvana, huge. All 3 of those singers had attitude issues. Axl, Kurt & Eddie. I’m sure he’s a good guy. But fame hit all of them way to fast. 🤷♂️👍

I was born in 1977, so definitely Generation X, at least chronologically. I've spent my best years watching films like "Singles" and "Hype" and listening to various more or less "grungy" bands, some of which were more known, others less: Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mother Love Bone, Stone Temple Pilots, Jane's Addiction, Brad, TAD and others. Even though me and my pals were just a bunch of random guys from Poland, that have never been to Seattle, we somehow felt that strange connection with this music, lyrics and messages... It was never about wearing some specific type of clothes, or some particular behavior. This was just OUR LIFE back then. Personally I've never liked the idea of limiting myself, when it comes to music, so for me it was the best time of my life, because I discovered also other styles and bands like Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, but also KIng Crimson (which for me was a natural consequence of listening to Pink Floyd for some time already), then also trip-hop, Massive Attack, Tricky and my favorite - Portishead, with nineties culminating with the discovery of my absolutely favorite band - Tool. Now, I don't remember what was the event (probably Pearl Jam getting award for the "Ten" album) - whether it was Grammy or MTV Awards, but I clearly remember Eddie Vedder, always the shy guy, coming onto the stage, holding the hand of the young boy. That boy was the same, who played in "Jeremy" music video ( my favorite PJ song, period). Eddie held the hand of the boy up high and said: "This is Jeremy, and he's Alive!" This may sound silly, but there was something magical in that moment. 9:10 Unfortunately, I've never had an opportunity to attend Peal Jam's live performance, but I remember the Ozzfest in Poland - I was there mainly for Tool, but Ozzy too, for sure. I've actually had an opportunity to talk awhile with a frontman of King Diamond support band, who was a super-nice guy. He was just casually sitting there with us, drinking beer, and telling some jokes about Celine Dion 😆 It was, God, like 20 years ago already. I remember during that concert I've lost both my glasses (I'm short-sighted) and my watch. No, nobody stole them. They were both just annihilated to the last screw, while I was pogoing with others and crowd-surfing. That was TOTALLY worth it.

Hi Aileen, Fun Fact about Eddie Vetter. He is a huge Neil Young fan. Neil Young along with his wife put on a Bridge School Benefit concert for many years to raise money for disabled children and Eddie Vetter along with other members of Pearl Jam would play almost every concert. The concert was an all acoustic 2-day music festival at the Shoreline Amphitheater in San Jose and was always held the last weekend of October. They would have the disabled students sit on stage with the bands as they played. Hearing these songs stripped down and acoustic was transcendent. Many bands would show up for Neil to support the effort but Eddie was always a regular.

And what you were talking about at the end, about the energy, any band who has been onstage will tell you, they get their energy from the audience. The more energy the audience is giving, the more that the band gives back. They draw their energy from the crowd. That is what Lzzy Hale of Halestorm wrote their first big hit, I Get Off about. The chorus goes "I get off on you, getting off on me" and that's what that line means. That she draws her energy from the crowd watching her perform. The more they give her, the more she gives back.

I was in Stockholm, Sweden in the fall/winter of 1991. Nirvana was the biggest thing on Earth and Pearl Jam had just released their debut album. And a small rock club in Stockholm had booked them before anyone ever heard of them. I saw the line outside the club - there were more people than could ever fit inside. Because everyone knew the band was from Seattle, and everyone wanted to be able to say they were there, just in case… For those lucky enough to get in, it obviously paid off. But it was like that back then, although it was the last time a city or a region became the center of the world in terms of music. With the possible exception of Stockholm itself, which a few years later became the center for the most commercial type of pop music, in the wake of Britney Spears’ Swedish brand of pop.

"Alive" has been revealed by Vedder to be part autobiographical and part fiction. When Vedder was a teenager, his mother revealed to him that the man he thought was his father was actually his stepfather, and that his biological father was dead. The first and last verses detail those actual events, but the second verse is storytelling on Vedder's part. The lyrics of the second verse read, "Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room/She said I'm ready...for you/I can't remember anything to this very day/'Cept the look, the look.../Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...," and Vedder revealed that "she" was the mother, and "the look" referred to was not the look on her face, but "the look is between her legs. Where do you go with that? That's where you came from."

The darker and wilder lyrics Eddie sang,he had that unique ability to look crazy himself because of his "wild eyes" and his "jaw lock" in a specific position. I cant remember if he ever tried acting,but im sure he would nail acting too,he defintly seemed to have it in him,as he often acted out Pearl Jams`s songs. Alive was actually my favourite song of them when i was a young stud,originally being a full on Nirvana supporter. As i matured even more,it went from Alive to Even Flow,and now i think i hold them both equally at the top. So different,yet so similar. I do have a special and strong relationship to songs like Jeremy too though,i was through alot of the same stuff as "Jeremy" went through. And in case you havent gotten that far yet,NO SPOILERS! But when you get there,you will know what i was talking about.

New here so I don't know how much you've delved into them but if you haven't watched the movie Into the Wild please treat yourself as Eddie wrote and preformed the soundtrack which I consider some of his most expressive at times heart wrenching vocals. All the best!

To your point Aileen - I’ve seen Pearl Jam many times and it is a joyous and communal experience, not angry. And I’d you fight and Eddie sees it he will kick you the f out.
