never thought I'd see Eddie and Stone fanboying over Chris Cornell. "He's got a nice chest, too, geez..." this interview is priceless

[@Crack_the_Skye]

It's because Cornell was the -it- guy in the Seattle scene then.

[@entertain7us148]

Joe M. Yeah, most people felt they weren't worthy to call him by his first name. He was simply known as 'Cornell'.

[@godhatewatching4107]

Chris Cornell is dead :( R.I.P. CHRIS!

[@ashleybarloweNC]

Chris was like a God around Seattle. I've never heard ANYONE say one foul word about Cornell. Man, his passing hit me hard. I wish I knew what he was going through that led to suicide. He seemed so full of life. You just never truly know.......

[@barbaraautrey7363]

I was a little bummed that they didn't mention the fact that Chris Cornell wrote "Hunger Strike" and brought Eddie into Temple of the Dog to duet with him, catapulting Eddie into the scene.

[@dillimeinbilli]

"He's a beautiful person" "He's got a nice chest too, Jesus". We know boys, we know. I love Stone's sarcasm and Eddie's stoned smiley spaced out face and his eyebrows - the arched eyebrows are the key to those typical Vedder expressions. "I left the towels kind of messy"

At this time, Stone had no idea who was sitting next to him, none of us did but thank the Lord for Ed, his music and he is been a very healing person in my life as I'm sure many others. ☮️

[@thebigfudge24]

Stone is the kind of guy I would be terrified to be around and constantly try to impress.

[@thebigfudge24]

+New Damage Well, I feel like I'd get along with Eddie very well, and Stone seemingly being annoyed by Eddie is what would make me kind of intimidated by him. hah

[@BacknMetro]

+Nathaniel_Fisher Jr. I agree. Of the two, Eddie seems more happy go lucky and easy going. Stone...not so much. I think both are very nice IRL, but Stone seems more ready to show annoyance. So yeah, I'd feel more uneasy around him for that reason.

[@Pedronqr]

+Nathaniel_Fisher Jr. Yes... In those days Stone actually defined himself at PJ20 Documentary as the kind of guy you would hate just 20 minutes after knowing him... The king of sarcasm to use his own words...

[@BacknMetro]

+Pedronqr I read somewhere that Jeff wanted to punch Stone initially because of his sarcasm & didn't know quite how to respond to him. Looking back, Stone is rather sheepish about that time in his life.

[@reginaegut1119]

Protect this interview at all costs. It’s perfection. Eddie and Stone have a great connection and friendship.

[@slick222]

There's a fair bit of tension in there too. Eddie has an aw shucks thing on top but there's a real snob underneath, and he judges Stone's unvarnished opinions - "we like high-energy, I liked bad radio hits, dreamweaver was my #1 song" and the like. Stone is the opposite. Cynical and smart on the surface but very honest and open underneath, even a little naive, and not nearly as self-conscious as Eddie. Stone chafes at being judged by Eddie because he thinks Eddie is a bit of a tool, less cool in a Seattle rock music scene context but he also knows Eddie's someone he has to learn to respect. You can already see Eddie feeling Stone is not qualified to lead him, and it flipped not so much later. This interview captures the heart and soul of PJ, which is Eddie and Stone, before they learned how to handle themselves around other.

[@joandra]

I don’t believe there’s friendship! I believe there’s a common denominator which is the bands success! I think they learned to live around each other to this day! They are completely different individuals and it’s ok! I just don’t see them bond or spend quality time as friends together! I believe they are just good coworkers!

[@garylagstrom3864]

I’ve got a cool story about Eddie Vedder. First I worked for an insurance company back in the day in the special lines field and remember actually speaking to Eddie about his boat policy! He said enjoyed calling instead of his agent! Very down to Earth and later we were able to meet at a Seattle Pearl Jam show so he was able to put a face to the voice on the phone 📱. ILL NEVER FORGET IT! RIP CHRIS CORNELL. The Seattle scene in the early 1990’s is unsurpassed by anything going on today!

[@hstg98]

I love these two so much. Eddie always came across as so shy and mischievous in early interviews. I really like Stone and could listen to what he has to say all day. He seems to come across as though he holds some contempt for the media, and especially for the never ending use of the phrase ''grunge.''

“He”s got a nice chest too, Jesus” 😂😂😂

[@saharab4431]

i love this band.. perhaps more than i will ever love anything in life. it's the early hours of the morning now and i'm just at one of my lowest points. i'm really not sure what life has going for me, let alone where i will end up. but pearl jam have been my lifeline these past few years, i don't know what this life would mean without them. they give purpose to my otherwise mundane existence. i'm not sure i'm really getting anywhere with this comment but yeah. i love these guys so so so much. this will always be one of my favourite of their interviews and they will always be my band

[@drvee1983]

Is there anything better than a stoned, mumbling, Eddie Vedder and Stone Gossard talking about the present time of Pop and Kurt, Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Peppers, and the time of where they were in music? As the Hairhead bands crumbled around them, this time capsule interview of pop music in 1991 is thankfully preserved. They didn't want to be Pop, but they blew your hair back. They were prophetic, without trying to be, as they stumbled, laughed, and rocked your mind into the 90's and beyond. They WERE SubPop. Thanks for posting.

Ahh young eddie. What a little sweetheart.

Fun interview. I saw that show, I think at the Palladium in LA. Went to see the Chili Peppers, and I knew Nirvana was opening, which was killer as it was, but this unknown band opens the whole show, and they blew me away. Eddie ROCKED that crowd, owned it, and obviously, Stone, Jeff, and Mike held it all together. I was just talking about this show last night with some friends when I was asked what the best show I ever saw was. Hands down, this one. Pearl Jam opening for Nirvana who was opening for The Chili Peppers. Wow.

[@diamond4987]

Seeing Eddie in interviews or performing just his whole existence always makes me happy and brings tears to my eyes and usually ends me crying... omg I just love him and everything about him ... same with Maynard and Johnathan Davis

[@littlebitofnothing1]

Except that he's a Looney liberal now

[@vaniasantana5550]

I also feel the same way about Eddie

[@evanisovich]

It’s important to remember that at this particular point in the band’s career, Stone was the de facto leader of the band. It wasn’t until Vitalogy was made that the shift in leadership began to tilt toward Ed.

[@jmhaces]

I guess that's when he "grew up." At this point he's still a kid.

[@JayMoreau]

That was the last album I bought, they nosedived after Stone stopped writing the songs.

[@thesecondYouTube]

They need to go back to Stone and Jeff writing the majority of the music. Fuck are they boring otherwise.

[@charlietwotimes]

Vs and Vitalogy were easily the best PJ albums (I do have a dirty love of Yield I can't get past tho) & that's down to Stone and Jeff. Like Green River. Like Mother Love Bone. I really liked Ed "up front" until he inherited Bono's Messiah complex. His deification most definitely took PJ away from the Stone/Jeff axis of talent to the overly superficial AOR dad rock of today.

[@j2388]

Stone looks like he could be Tony Hawks younger brother who didnt like skateboarding & just wanted to play music

[@julesrose7738]

Hey when your a free spirit and toast, it's whatever's happening at the moment. If your enjoying your success, and hyped, the stories get funnier, like Eddie diving into crowds. That's plain roll on the floor laughing, having fun. No one's taking the moment seriously.

[@brianpollstergaard7143]

I've never seen an interview before now with these guys, and this was sooooo much better than I had anticipated

[@leinonibishop9480]

their early interviews are great. Ed's so enthusiastic and excited. there's a lot of them here on youtube

[@benashworth7653]

ed smiled more in this interview than he did in the years 1993-2004 combined or whatever year W bush left office

"i left the towels kinda messy. does that count?" brilliant.

Brilliant? You need to explore more

LOVE that line...!!

love that eddie talked about homophobia at the end.

not drugs, it was his natural form at that age, he was in a superior state of imagination and creativity, like an awake state of rem

[@radiantDF]

omfg. Golden interview, right here!

[@Louis.R]

Stone's indifferent reaction to the "cheerleaders in Nirvana's new video" (18.20) slipped through almost unnoticed. The clip that he "caught the tail end of" is, of course, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which was released two months earlier (Sept '91) and was by then yet to turn into the totally unexpected worldwide phenomenon that would eventually also foster the exponential success of Pearl Jam, who are relative unknowns at the time of this interview.

[@patriciahunt9818]

How cute is Eddie in this video

[@presentfuture7563]

How much do I love these fresh faced kids? Adorbs. They're like type A and B side by side.

[@semisweet9862]

I'll take both just transport me back to the 90s and make me older. I love Stone's attitude face.

[@AichElle]

Putting those CDs together one after the other hahahaha this is one of my favourite interviews I love all the Seattle bands interviews around this time the answers to questions are priceless!

Thank you for posting this! I was not aware of this interview! It was a nostalgia overload. =)
