[@matchalatte9607]

the beauty of life may be people like eddie.

[@justuseubank9192]

Kind of thinking the same thing

[@angelaraynor1112]

i think Eddie Vedder is the most talented musician alive he cares deeply about his music and he ain't afraid of what people think. love u Eddie

[@ozkrhills9624]

Maybe tom york first... But yes Eddie es the best one...haha

[@shonuff4323]

Ok, I love Ed, I love Pearl Jam. I have seen them in concert 27 times. Ed is NOT the most talented musician alive. He probably isn't even in the top 100.

[@Canibrerdo]

@@shonuff4323 not top 100 but easily top 20

[@dirt_xo]

@@Canibrerdo Eddie is top 20 for sure. Underated lyricist. Neil Young is up there as the grandfather of metal too. Layne, Cornell too.

[@chadwickwright2833]

@@shonuff4323 How do you judge that? Statistically you have no idea what you’re talking about, do you. You need to think before you speak.

[@laynethomasstaley1698]

Eddie has like a special way of movement and speaking. Even if i didn’t like his music (i adore his music) i would still watch his interviews just to hear him talking!

[@virginiaknighten4687]

Love his voice and love his face!

"The beauty of life may be getting through the struggle." Eddie Vedder '92. My new favorite quote

[@virginiaknighten4687]

That is pretty awesome!

[@silversteel2611]

He later changed approach, married a model and started to enjoy life. Eddie Vedder in '92 was a troubled, difficult guy.

[@dylanput]

Greatest Vedder quote ever?? "Hey you want a message?! You want a message?!?!.....Kill your local rapist. But torture him first. Then serve him to one of your enemies for dinner. I'll cook"

[@ellensecondlife9704]

@@silversteel2611 I don't agree that he's changed.... he snorted. It's part of the essence of it being that way.

[@maryellengonthier5274]

Mine too! I had to write it down. Such wisdom.

[@crfraticelli9]

I understand he doesn’t like the fame, but he’s someone who makes amazing music, and that attracts fame.

[@user-ze8hx7oi8r]

Interesting comment. Around that time, 1990 to 1994, alternative rock was having a resurgence. It was based on old metal, blues rock, and punk fused together. It was the alternative to R.E.M. and U2. Eighties music, which I have to suffer through at the mall I work at, was very synthethiser-oriented and preprogrammed. There was no ingenuity at all. I think what Vedder was getting at was the pressure of having to be a superstar and spokesperson for the disenfranchised. He was an introvert who wrote music and lyrics for himself. He was not up to being leader of a generation on MTV. Around that time, Cobain decided to kill himself. They were at the same level. INXS, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, U2, etc. all had ten years to adjust to fame. Pearl Jam had zero years. Nirvana had two years. It is understandable they felt this way.

[@laurawatters914]

I love this video, younger Eddie such a deep thinker, sooo freaking humble and passionate about everything!!! ❤️🤘🌹😊 Such an awesome person. Love Eddie Vedder ❤️

[@emilyreeves4942]

So much wisdom for such a young man. What an amazing human

[@user-ze8hx7oi8r]

Vedder was a lot smarter than he was given credit for. I suspect that his difficult life and subsequent leaving home and having to fend for himself on his own caused him to develop a certain responsibility. Unfortunately, I have found him less articulate than usual in his interviews over the last few years, though I do not know why.

[@jamiehouk6965]

So glad Eddie kept his grounded passion for music and life!

[@thehighpriestess8431]

And now you have a family and two daughters. I am happy for you Eddie, you deserve it.

Eddie goes deep! I love this!

[@christianeflentie1228]

Lots of people think he's not genuine and I'd refer them back to interviews like this. He toughed it out through shit jobs. Luckily for him he's Insanely talented. I'm so happy that he's happy now and still a powerhouse. With a wicked weird sense of humor to boot.

[@virginiaknighten4687]

Eddie looking so gorgeous here! That voice. His singing and speaking voice are both magnetic. So sexy. Eddie was born to be a Rock Star.

[@midnight.blue42]

well, his singing voice isn't very different from speaking voice

[@SaintMartins]

F.Y.I. This interview was aired originally on a French-Canadian music channel called Musique Plus. The sister station of the English-Canadian music channel Much Music. Eddie's depth in interviews & song lyrics is his greatest appeal. It's what separated him from others of his generation. His talent is unmatched by anyone except maybe Chris Cornell.

[@manymanman]

Saint Martins totally agree!

[@jamiehouk6965]

He is so far beyond chris cornell who I think is a loser!

[@christianeflentie1228]

He runs around Ohana if you have the opportunity to go. He's actually rather easy to run into but I realize that I live near surfing spots and have friends that know him. Even so, I've just run into him randomly. Of course it's not like we hold hands and discuss philosophy. I just say hello and ask what I think is a reasonable question if I have one.😁

I remember watching this over and over as a 13 year old kid who recorded it on a vhs tape. I haven’t seen or thought about this interview since then, but as he talked I started to remember every word and what it meant to me at that age. Thank you so much for this.

[@haunterdragon4580]

The context wasn't about bugs he's not mean to animals. That was a metaphor he was using and what he did when he was a child which is also normal. Take me for example I'm am animal and bug lover. I used to be really sensitive because I tried to make friends with nature when I was a kid and I'd often end up eating ants that I tried to pet cause they bit me. I was just a kid that didn't know any better.

[@silversteel2611]

I hate people like Vedder or Cobain that used to talk shit about 80's bands and their lyrics. I mean, everyone should be free to write and sing what he wants, who are you to say what it's wrong or right? Poison talked about parties and girls, Slayer talked about war and nazists, Pearl Jam talked about their things... Who is wrong? Nobody, to me. There's space for everyone. Vedder and Cobain were not respectful of the bands that came before them.

[@rocknmovies]

That's not true. Eddie has always loved The Who, Neil Young, The Ramones and plenty of classic rock bands and singers.

[@PS2542]

You obviously know very little about Eddie. He writes about things that actually matter. How that is the same as bands like Poison, I don’t know.

[@leinonibishop9480]

he never said anyone's lyrics were wrong. he might have said he didn't like them, which is fine. we all have our music preferences and are allowed to like some bands and not others. he's allowed to do that too.

[@lisaspencer475]

Don't get me wrong. I was born the same year Eddie was. 1964. I didn't find my absolute Love for music until grunge. But I ain't trying to find the meaning of life in anything but family and friends. Love you Eddie, but get over it.
