Eddie Vedder & Mike McCready Interview (Milán 18/02/1992)

Entrevista a Eddie Vedder y Mike McCready, miembros de Pearl Jam.

[@strokesfan1107]

yeah when Mike was like "Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off", I was like wow, they're very well-mannered young men

[@fabiennemare284]

"We just have friends up here that are listening to stories" You just gotta love Eddie because he REALLY loves his fans

[@lucianapena]

"Hey man, you can't do that to anybody. It doesn't matter who the fucher I am." Sooooooooo sweeeeeet.

[@buffaloshultz4351]

So chill and furious at the same time... it's perfect.

[@bornloser2020]

They're so respectful to eachother

[@trollmctrollson779]

Eddie Vedder being awesome as usual. Speaking everything everyone wants to hear.

[@MusicMeUpBaby]

Mike is such a good guitar player. Eddie is an awesome singer. Man they're both so cool!

[@SofeaShariffah]

Eddie and Pearl Jam is the very reason why the 90s was such an exceptional era. They've never placed any barriers between the artist and fans. They played music for and with friends and not for fans. This is the spirit that's missing in music today.

[@CatJolie]

Word.

[@Deerintheocean]

That last sentence got dark when it actually came true

[@essencehughes5337]

I love his hair

[@samsquanch1996]

Eddie looks so sinister here

[@dyr234]

I like what eddie says at the end about art and music so true

[@crankitloud6858]

I agree with Eddies logic and reason. It's amazing how humble he's always been until he's on stage. It's interesting towards the end I think he kinda implying about how bands that get big sell out and sensitive people can't accept bands that get suuccessful, but he just didn't use the word sell out but I thought maybe he was going to. He mention under ground and variables of it. I like how he says just listen to the music. Iv'e known three ladies years ago that said they sold out, and I ask which album do you think this happened

[@travzimmerman1340]

Kids in their 20s are morons........See this video.

[@garthmercer]

As pertinent today as it was back then, or ever. Pearl Jam is far more significant a musical inspiration than most realize. Still kickin' ass sixteen years on.

[@Cajesxavi]

30 years on now!

[@zerochance01]

DAMN RIGHT!!! Pearl Jam is the last surviving band from the Grunge era...if they would have continued on their fame streak of Ten and continued being in the spot light they would have broken up by now. but thank God their still together- Pearl Jam Rules!!!

[@laurawatters914]

I love Pearl Jam their Soo awesome!! Love you Eddie 💓😊

[@stantrol]

Mike is soooo funny!

[@caseo9696]

At the end "and we'll all pretty much start killing ourselves then"...pretty freaky considering what happened April 5, 1994

[@leighness1988]

And then what happened to Layne Staley and Chris Cornell.

[@kittyjane2348]

Kurt Cobain's suicide😭😭😭

[@Andrea-ul7cm]

Eddie: "We're not actors." Eddie's High School Friends/Drama Teacher: "He's an amazing actor. We all thought that's what he was going to be when he grew up."

[@leinonibishop9480]

he definitely has good instincts and a flare for the dramatic but just because he was in some high school plays once doesn't make him an actor for the rest of his life.

Aww lil mikey

[@eliasfunnynutsgold9811]

is he talking about singing Black?

[@davesims7917]

I think he was referring to Jeremy

[@UofLCards122]

He's not talking about Porch, he's talking about Black. Once they made there music video for Jeremy, the record label came to them and said if you made a video for Black, it would be huge. Eddie refused, saying the song it to personal.

[@travzimmerman1340]

Lame!

[@dooley8746]

He's probably right about a video for Black, but that ain't the song. I worked this tour. He's talking about Once. He bitched about that song the whole damn tour like a whiny toddler. Execs told him too bad it's a fan fav. Then when people started publicly asking which song he was talking about in this interview that he didn't want to play he lied and said Black because he didn't want to answer why Once bothered him. All his friends knew the story behind the song and would make fun of him for it, and they knew it made him mad. lol and then his friends also started a crowd interaction that really caught on, with audience members holding up a finger every time he sang the word once, then lowering it for a moment only to raise it again for the next once, that really set him off(he said when the whole crowd did it that it vaguely resembled a crowd of nazis doing the nazi salute). The best example of this is if you look up the 2000 Pinkpop version of Once(he got over it by then), but they started it at the 92 Pinkpop. Soundgarden was there to mess with him, and this would have been only a few stops after that. After this interview I told him he was being a big baby and he got like really extremely mad at me for quite awhile, I think he finally calmed down towards me around Australia. That's a lot of shows in between here and there man. A lot.

True.

They all had the same speech but Kurt took it like he had the whole world on his shoulders,so silly,he became a character of himself and he did what everyone was expecting he'd do!

[@CatJolie]

Kurt was murdered.

[@ernievzla]

it was jeremy for sure

[@FreddoX1]

Hahaha, Damn. fucking creepy. He says the same thing I've always said about music and art. Don't judge it for it's hype, judge it for what it is and not by who's listening to it. He has so many common opinions which I also have. I have a new found respect for Eddie, what a guy!

[@AmadeusD]

nah. He'd been with Beth like 6 years when he wrote it...6 or 7..

[@vanessagorman2305]

So cute you weirdoid. Hugs.

[@hugomarquardt4804]

What song is he talking about when he says "I wish we'd never pay it but we play it every night"?

[@matthewforyeshua]

Black

[@BLINC606]

+Matthew Ritchie why?

[@matthewforyeshua]

+k dot The song, although he never officially stated the meaning, is very obviously a song of lost love. With lyrics such as "I know some day you'll have a star, in somebody else's life, but why?" and then any show from 1992 you'll hear him sing "we belong together" although that isn't on the album version. So as far as I can tell, Eddie lost someone in his life that meant a great deal to him, that really hurt him when she left, and that's clear in some performances, Drop In The Park, being on of them, where in two parts he stops singing out of pure emotion, and even says before they play it "we stopped playing this song, because it's just really hard to sing it". I think because of all of this, this is the song he's talking about here, it's clearly a very strong, emotional song, and I think it hurts him when he has to bring up these feelings of pain, and possibly regret every night. Hope this answers your question!

[@BLINC606]

Matthew Ritchie yeah that makes sense and is probably right. some other guy said Alive and I just don't see it. he said black was fictional but yeah it's clear that Eddie ties a lot of emotion with that song and I actually didn't know he said it was hard to sing so that furthers the point. I also don't see Pearl jam making a fictional song about lost love.. just doesn't fit them and especially considering how emotional and well written the song is. I agree it was probably black he was talking about

[@cloroxbleach3838]

Not trying to offend anyone but who is the song supposedly about? Wasn't he with Beth at the time when black was released? But weren't they together for over 10 years too at the time? so it makes no sense to me about him singing from a lost love saying 'we belong together' 'why can't it be mine' when he was already in a committed relationship. Idk I'm stupid for asking lol

[@subcomandantetroncos]

anyay if you think is exactly what happened people started more or less suiciding, becouse they couldn't stand so much pressure and hype over "grunge" kurt is just one for all, but layne too for example.

[@EVedderHOT]

I think it was Alive too. Cuz he told me lol

[@AmadeusD]

Its actually far more likely that he never wanted to play Alive again.....Listen to him talking about it at Storyteller's last year. Its pretty obvious. Black is fictional, and Jeremy is a song of awareness...he wants them out there.

[@leinonibishop9480]

What makes you think Black is fictional? Ed always said it was the fragile one, that if you played it on the radio between hit number 1 and hit number 2 it would be crushed. He said it was something he really felt when he wrote it and still feels every time he has to sing it. He still gets emotional when he sings it even now 30 years later.

[@AmadeusD]

@@leinonibishop9480 his relationship status at the time. He was 25 and had been with Beth since he was like 16

[@leinonibishop9480]

He had another girlfriend before Beth that supposedly broke his heart, Liz something. There’s no way to tell how long ago he actually wrote Black either. Maybe he and Beth had problems also. All we can really go off of is what he’s actually said in interviews about the song. Also it’s funny and cool that you responded since your original post was so long ago. The algorithm is a strange beast.

[@AmadeusD]

@@lavendar555 again, given the facts of the matter, extremely unlikely.

[@puppypowerzentime]

This is a Lie

[@alete222]

ok, but we dont care what u think about music

[@secondeye]

It's actually super contrived emo-eddie and I guarantee he hates this.. because he knows it. Ed's always been a big phony at heart. He means well, but he's 100% contrived and phony.. intentional or not.

[@davesims7917]

“We’re not actors“… I call bullshit on that. Eddie loved playing the tortured soul card and making those facial expressions... which might be considered acting. It is so disingenuous to complain about the fame yet do the thing that is continuing to put yourself in the spotlight… Why ever do a single interview Eddie if you hated it so much? Why play a single show if you didn’t want the limelight? You could’ve just as much been in a band that played in your basement for friends the entire time but you chose to go and play out in the public… So yeah the claims that you make we’re completely disingenuous and it gave a whole generation of people a false impression. Shame on you for that.

[@LadyZepp]

Woah, someone is angry... Thank god they decided to get out of the basement :)

[@davesims7917]

LadyZepp So am I… That’s why he shouldn’t have made these types of comments for so long because I know deep down he is happy he did it too

[@nikksixx2520]

Jesus christ, did you actually listen to what he just said? If you think he was just playing around, it's stupid. The only reason he was doing it is music itself, it always been this way, and it's the reason why he's still alive and loved by millions. People wanted too much from them at the time, as he said they didn't change at all, it's people who changed their attitude towards them and started treat them the way they did. Eddie and all the guys from PJ always stayed true to themselves.

[@travzimmerman1340]

@@LadyZepp Ed was so happy go lucky until it was time to play a role and not be so happy go lucky. FACTS!

[@Shalanaya]

@@travzimmerman1340 All humans play a role since they are born, the point is that he was not an actor, and this is one aspect of him that attracted so many people to him, his raw spontaneous honesty, it is this spontaneity that made him different from other famous people. The older he got the more honest he's become, which has been gradually more evident over the years. It is the reason why he fired Dave as well, because he did not wanted his innocence to be taken advantage of like they did it with Kurt. He is a survivor in a way.
