Pearl jam - Interview (Eddie Vedder drunk)/Live Clips - August, 1993

[@01candler]

People are focusing on the drinking instead of the honesty--listen to what he is saying, it is all honest and heart felt which is beautiful to see in an interview instead of just fluff and bullshit

[@marcelagm9515]

Absolutely! Best comment ever

[@jecapeca]

"In vino veritas". I'm kidding, I like the interview itself!

[@Thatswhopunk]

drunk interviews can be the best! i love when the real feelings come out!

[@benwherlock9869]

Poor Eddie, overthinking everything too much! But hey, that's why we love him!!

[@Pila426]

I like when Dave says, "Life. Hello!" LOL! Have to admit though, despite being drunk, Eddie sounded pretty lucid.

[@JubeProductions]

this shit, and this band, and the whole "grunge" scene was so god damn important to me in August 1993....and to some degree still is today

[@nma2476]

i feel so sorry for this generation sometimes... they're stuck with Kanye and Beiber etc. Yet we had, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and Nirvana and Blink 182. I think the 90s was the best time of my life.

[@adn1161]

much respect for this guys. They inspired me so much as a musician. So what if he is drinking. Who hasn't drunk in his entire life?. They were living a confusing time. Fame, glory....look at them now. Still doing valiable music. Long life to PJ!!!!

[@jamescollins8794]

Donald j Trump doesent drink at least that’s what I’ve heard

[@electricxlovex]

"life - hello" that cracked me up :P thanks for uploading, never seen this before

[@prashunn6591]

2:32.. maybe how the idea for the song BUGS was born :)

[@kartelUSM]

The only thing this clip makes me feel is respect for the guys that are just like you and me, drinking, having fun. The difference is that thyy're famous but do not pretend they are goody goodies non smoking non drinking average super kid. They are who they are and that is what Pearl Jam was for the last 23 years and for THAT they have my deepest respect. Life is one, it is a waste to live it in pretense,

[@vampiresvszombies9298]

agree

[@LNizar]

Soundgarden playing in the background.

[@codybrockway1616]

Pearl Jam, like em or not, they’re completely honest and real.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Wrong. Eddie is a sociopath and everyone else is in it for the money... there is no passion in that band.

[@Tigerpuffer]

Aaaaaaaaaaahhh Eddie. You'd never hurt another human being :P such a cool guy

[@mzk123ify]

I like how protective and loyal he was with his girlfriend. I really wish more "regular" guys were like him. Honorable.. passionate about things and verbal...nothing wrong with that ever..

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

He dumped his wife for a model and he's a sociopath.

[@travzimmerman1340]

You really bought into what he was sellin' back then dincha

[@leinonibishop9480]

Only Beth and Ed know what happened in their marriage. We don’t have a right to make judgements based on what the media says happened or what we assume happened. That had to be a few hard years for them. Beth trying to make her band successful. Eddie always gone on tour all the time. Then Roskilde happened. That would’ve been hard for anyone to get through. Also models can be more than one dimensional. They are still individual people. He obviously found something in Jill that was a good fit. Maybe she had a better understanding of what he was going through being recognized everywhere. My point is we don’t know anything and have no right to be critical. Give the guy a break.

[@LinkExzy]

@@TheKitchenerLeslie I know this comment is old but you obviously don’t know what the word sociopath means

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

@@LinkExzy Sure, sociopath. Care to try gaslighting again?

[@Mysterywhiteboy78]

I can see straight away what Vedder was feeling,. You only have to listen to the part where he says they were walking to their van and some woman shouts at his wife/gf Beth ' You bitch' ......he struggled with the whole thing but like many genuine sensitive talented people live in conflict because they love music and want to share it somehow with people to lift their spirits. I would've been horrified too if some woman had shouted ' you bitch' at my gf , you give so much and that is what they give back.

[@travzimmerman1340]

Can you imagine someone yelling? Worst day ever. Traumatized Snowflake

[@Mysterywhiteboy78]

@@travzimmerman1340 So you're ok with someone shouting 'bitch' at your daughter, wife, gf, mother are you ?

[@leinonibishop9480]

@@travzimmerman1340 it's not about yelling. it's what she yelled and what it implies. that fan was so fanatical that she somehow thought she was justified in insulting Ed's wife right to their faces and that she would be with Ed if not for Beth's presence. it had to be pretty disturbing for Ed to realize how unhinged some of his fans really were/are.

[@joshuafult84]

Damn I need to take 7 shots and watch this so Im on the same level as Eddie

[@AlexMorgan92]

When Dave Abby said, 'Life, hello' Eddie looked like he wanted to punch his face in! :D hahahaha

[@benjamintrower1796]

This probably contributed to Dave's firing. But Dave was calling Eddie out. Eddie was being a dick. And Mike looks like he was drowning in this interview. No wonder he ended up with substance abuse issues at the time.

[@Tigerpuffer]

Eddie drunk acts the same as my grandma when she's drunk xD

[@Pila426]

Dave and Mike look as if they want to be anywhere else.

[@benjamintrower1796]

Painful for them, right?

[@mzk123ify]

@straightpunkedge yes I can't wait to see it! Just lucky I am not being held accountable for every drunken tirade in my 20s...these people watch the vids and act like the don't realize this was 20 years ago...

[@seansterling1147]

[@nevmiles]

I like what they contributed to the interview... :-)

[@EricQuigleyMusic]

between the open pulls from the redwine and that visceral delivery of "bitch" , young Ed here reminded me spot on in moments of Charles Bukowski.

[@jackthompson7291]

Hahahaha damn he's lit

[@xilu804]

quebecois accent sounds so familiar i'm crying

[@anemone77]

Here you can see the crack starting to build between Dave and the rest of the band. I think he was enjoying the success the most. He wasn't even on the first album so he's steadily riding the wave. But it's obvious to Eddie that he knew that something wasn't right. Mostly because touring the first record for two years. Trying to land and the record label wanting a follow up very quickly. I'm guessing there wasn't much rest between 1991 and 1995. Thank god they didn't split up!

[@travzimmerman1340]

God forbid anyone wants success in whatever it is they choose to do in life. Ed couldn't control Dave like he could Stone and Jeff so bye Dave.

[@benjamintrower1796]

@@travzimmerman1340 precisely. Dave didn't buy into the EV schitck.

[@MrYardlebird]

It's funny reading the 'he's a phony' stuff here and on other media about pearl jam or eddie vedder. Those opinions are just second hand, out of date or use. I can't help but just find Eddie Vedder an interesting guy from what i see in this video

[@Mysterywhiteboy78]

The drummer there buys into the whole ego rock thing. Vedder doesn't at all , huge respect to him.

[@bananasplit_buns7270]

Eddie's the best

[@travzimmerman1340]

And Vedder bought into the whole anti-rock star thing and ran with it. Took a couple years but eventually he got there.

[@benjamintrower1796]

What are you talking about? The drummer, Dave, was calling Eddie out on his bullshit.

[@Grunge2009]

i like how he says "you bitch"

[@Mrsilenciobackgammon]

@DorianGrey3913 In these situations, contemplation is healthy, action is not. He's only Human.

[@mistabook]

Finally realizing after 20+ years that ALL of Ed's behavior in this time makes a lot more sense when you realize he was drunk much of the time.

[@travzimmerman1340]

All of the time. ALL

[@ghostwhiskey]

that girlfriend thing was fucked up,not nearly as harsh as what Lennon had to deal with though

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

@mzk123ify Maybe with the book and documentary coming out later this year we can finally learn a little bit about some of the nutty stuff they used to do.

[@trgsdfj]

Ha!! Maybe it's my imagination, but am I the only one here who senses the contempt Eddie feels towards Dave near the beginning of this clip? Dave IS no doubt the best Pearl Jam drummer, but you can tell he's on his way out here. If losing their best drummer was the cost for sticking around another twenty years, then I suppose it's worth it. I still love the Vedderman, but Pearl Jam 1990 to 1995 were untouchable. I wish Cameron would make a documentary called Pearl Jam Five.

[@parallelvortex]

Not your imagination

[@brianbeauchamp9175]

I know this is an old comment but, Yes, it is your imagination. He's just sitting there. How can you infer there's contempt when they barely interact with one another?

[@Mrsilenciobackgammon]

@mzk123ify True enough. Very private about that sort of thing which in this day and age is honorable. I'm sure the only reason he even mentioned Beth was because he was hammered.

[@StraightPunkEdge93]

@dreadedwheat26 You have to understand the mindset he was in at the time. He was dealing with all that fame and crazy fucking fans. It was something he wasn't used to, so he had a bad reaction to it. But now if you watch a PJ interview Vedder is much more chilied.

[@eqx7168]

In a way he's basically the opposite of how Liam Gallagher was in the 90s. But the one thing they do share is booze, weed, probably other stuff. Liam had a lot more coke involved

[@washburn11000]

I fuckin love this dude

[@benjamintrower1796]

Within a minute of this particular clip, Dave unapologetically calls Eddie out on his bullshit (schitick).

[@Mintcar923]

Eddie's one of the greatest personalities the rock world has ever known. The only thing I never understood was his dislike for Dave Abby. Though Matt rulz too..

[@foxandbearbrothersshorts123]

I think it comes down to Dave is ruled more by his ego & fame, whereas Eddie was more in it for the music. Not knocking Dave’s talent, I’m just thinking there were big character differences.

[@Mintcar923]

Mama Fox & Bear Dens🦊🐻🍃 Well that’s pretty overwhelmingly evident.. Granted I don’t know Dave personally just from what I saw in interviews.. It’s a possibility EV may have discovered a side to him none of us are even aware of being close and in the same band for several years.. Thats my overall guess..

[@foxandbearbrothersshorts123]

Michael Guerra very good point! Who knows, it must of been somewhat of a big concern because he was a very good drummer!

[@Mintcar923]

Mama Fox & Bear Dens🦊🐻🍃 Stranger things have happened.. Thankfully tho they got Matt back who many regard as their original drummer.. Technically speaking

I'm surprised Vs. hadn't even come out by this point. The frustrated Eddie we see here screams "1994" more than 1993 to me. Am I alone in thinking that? In all seriousness though, Eddie and Beth didn't deserve to put up with those loudmouths.

It was very fashionable to be a tortured artist in the early 90s. Kind of got boring after awhile.

[@eqx7168]

Yes I watched this when I was getting into to them when I was in high school which would have been around 2008. I really thought it was cool buried at this point it seems kind of insufferable. But then I heard a recent interview with Eddie where he wishes he could go back and not be like that. He said he wishes he could go back and tell himself to chill the fuck out

[@Evocati-Augusti]

Slaves and bulldozers...do you remember..ive been to a Pinkpop only because I was in the USAF..when I met other USAF members of my community they all say"you know about Pinkpop too"remember the guy at the one Pearl Jam played there best show ever"drop the leash we all heard for the first time..and know we know 4 other hits were made with 10 and left out..like Drop the leash and rearview mirror.. and Soundgarden..i wanna find the guy who when Chris exited stage right says pretty much you're music is noise..who remembers that? he was the lead reporter of that event... I wanna find him and smack him

[@Evocati-Augusti]

on this tour, they had no idea they album was rising to number 1..they had to go BACk on tour..after a tour...eorope loved them(except the U2 zoo Tv tour, which is an odd mix, and I like both..but the Pixies and Love and Rockets opening for the Cure in 87 i think was the best concert ever ..and that interview when hes so mad is the best..

[@Evocati-Augusti]

Eddie is a little older then the band and had gone through a lot more as he was 26 during 10

[@Evocati-Augusti]

and Dave, sitting in the middle, is the only thing PJ has done that's made me disgusted..he rocked the drums harder then any other PJ drummer,to the point most of his intricate fills are not played since he left, even high hat paradiddles, I think. as a drummer and rose to the occasion when the spotlight was the brightest he shined harder..and helped them lift off..but snubbed at the awards ...hate that makes me soo mad.

[@mzk123ify]

Ouch! LOL no fair :). We don't know the truth about that (stories go both ways). There's just not a lot of dirty press on this band and their escapades, that's rare. ;)))

[@jimbackus3172]

Thanks for taking the time of coming here to tell us that. Let us know some of your favorites so we'll know what to recharge the batteries with once we drain them, as per your outlook.

[@dethronedb]

Well, I'll concede that it's a childish and petty move to look up someone's KZbin clip just to insult them, and that a worthwhile person would have better things to do. So what's my damage, anyway? Eddie Vedder was apparently unhappy with the job performance of a guitar tech who happens to be a friend of mine, a great guitar tech with a history of working with bands that Vedder idolizes, and one of the nicest, most down-to-earth and humble guys you could ever know. And Eddie Vedder saw fit to address the situation by attempting to humiliate this gentleman on stage in front of a huge crowd. So fuck him, especially in light of his bullshit persona and his bullshit music.

[@jimbackus3172]

I would hope there's a middle to that story. It sounds vague and without substance. I agree I wouldn't think much of the incident were it true, but we all have our moments...Townshend had that fire as well, sometimes the end justifies the means. Now, if the end is not your cup of tea, I can't help you.

[@DeKleikop]

I assume you haven't lived in the early nineties, otherwise you wouldn't have typed that down. Back then, Pearl Jam was big.

[@evadiels2356]

Music is interpretive, it's art. So it's up to the individual. Obviously I hate some bands' music too, but I'm not publically insulting them and I'm definitely not watching videos on youtube just to say nasty things about them. What's the point in doing that? If you don't like them, just ignore them, focus on music you do like and let everyone have their own opinion. I am 16 and more mature than you are, it's depressing
