The part about Eddie had never fronted a band before PJ isn't true. He was in a band called Bad Radio. That's how him and Jack Irons met. Eddie was very much involved in the San Diego music scene. I think that should have been mentioned.

Can't argue Eddie has a great voice. He is, however, dumb as a doornail. Him and some other entertainers helped have three men responsible for killing three eight year children released from jail.

My dad was a big fan of my music choices as a kid (except for rap and death metal lol) and to this day one of my mom's most favorite songs is wishlist. To this day they're still my favorite band.

[@newforestpixie5297]

I get why your folks can relate to them because to my ancient 58 yr old ears their sound has more in common with Hard Rock acts like Steppenwolf or BTO or Ian Gillan Band or Rainbow than punk or metal or thrash or punk metal hybrids from after the mid 80s ! 👍

I saw Pearl Jam in Maui for the last show of their tour of the Ten album. I think it was 92. It was in the high school gym in Kahului, if I remember correctly. Eddie was climbing all over the place. Toward the end of the show he asked the crowd to show the security guys how great we were by asking us to carry him overhead to the back of the gym and and then back to the stage. He went right over me! I grabbed his calf and helped heave him along! At the end of the show Eddie said, "See you all at the beach!". This documentary is great. I really like the last statement. "Pearl Jam proved you don't have to burn out and you don't have to fade away." This band has indeed been my rock for all these years. Their integrity, creativity, sensitivity, and power is always amazing.

Personally I'd say there's no doubt No Code is great, and stands way above definitely Riot Act and possible one or two others. They've grown on me in a strange way over the years, with various songs I never used to like becoming favorites. Habit is a good example - a song I actually used to skip but which I now love as I gave it a chance, and a great sudden contrast on the album. A similar thing happened with Soundgarden's Fresh Tendrils. Digressing ha whatever.

Jerry Cantrell is a beast. All everyone talks about is Kurt, Chris Cornell Layne, or Eddie. Jerry is the heart and soul of AIC and still very actively making music that is killing it.

[@Dave00054]

Exactly right!!! I love Pearl Jam but AIC is my favorite band of all time and they are still getting it done today. I recently saw Jerry in Boston on his solo project and he’s still absolutely killing it! AIC with William came around a few months after.

One of the best live shows that I ever saw was PJ at the Concert Hall in Toronto(aka The Masonic Temple) with Scottish band Eleven in the support slot. PJ were just awesome. I had just gotten their first album, Ten, a few weeks before, and was lucky enough to have a friend who knew Jeff Ament from when she lived in Victoria, BC. She had moved to Toronto a few weeks before and got me a ticket and after show pass, so got to hang with the band for a little while. Still ranks as one of my best shows ever. I then used the pass to get into their Vancouver show. Was great to see them at that time when they were still basically a new band.

And then they act as their own scalpers and price gouge! That's why they're supposedly "being watched" after the Taylor Swift/Bruce Springsteen bullshit. Charging 5,000 a ticket.. So greedy and corrupt. I'll believe they're being watched and will do differently when I actually see it.

I wouldn't say they endured. Their treatment of abbruzese shows how toxic they (particularly eddie) are and the quality of the albums put out between 94 to 2006 and then the more recent albums show how little effort they're willing to put in to their art they're happy to profit off

(I build cigar box guitars and have been adapting some tunes to 3 strings, fun stuff... it would be a dream come true to give Eddie a cigar box ukulele!!) My favorite tunes? Evenflow and The Fixer... 50:38 .. best parody? Tiktok video, "Pizza Rolls" (aka Evenflow).. 54:36 ... Grunge clothing became fashion...and that's the quickest way to kill an "alt" trend.. I remember as a kid in the late '60's and early '70's "psychedelia" was seen as dangerous to mainstream parents but marketing people saw a goldmine in it and the emergence of chain "psychedelic" stores like The INshop in shopping malls made it more palatable and "safe"... 54:33 ... grunge fashion...then why show a photo featuring the design of Christian Francis Roth from the '70's? That's as far from grunge as anything! And no word about Dave Grohl (I know, there are a lot of Grohl haters) coming out from the death of Nirvana to front the Foo Fighters and still recording and playing! 1:19:15 ... and here it is 2 years later, PJ announces a new tour aaaaand ticket prices are priced out of my range even for the nosebleed seats!! 🤬

Then he put in Ten. When Even Flow and Alive played I was expecting the same empty chorus bs that I had heard before but instead of screaching, "I'm still alive" he SANG IT. There was meaning and soul behind it. Not cookie-cutter, make-up wearing, spandex dbags pretending to be hardcoare. I was hooked. That was all she wrote. :)

When I got interested in pj I got to know Chris Cornells voice and thought he was awesome too. I wondered why he wasn't huge like pj. Or was he? I was in the military when the grunge time started and all they played on base was country music which I only knew of Kenny Rogers. I basically got a 4 year course on country music from Hank Williams to today's sound so I very rarely heard any other music. When I got out, I went back to the radio and that's when I heard pj's ten. I went out and bought it right away. I think I would've bought Sound Gardens cd's and Alice &Chains if they played them more on the radio. Now with the internet and KZbin I can listen to everyone of their songs and I got a new found respect for their music. Idk, love pj but now 30 years later, I love all of those grunge bands.

Pearl Jam avoided interviews, limited videos

[@markw2183]

Great doc, thanks Amplified. For me Pearl Jam have to be one of the greatest all time bands due to the sheer amount of amazing music they've released. Particularly for those first 5 albums (yes Joe Levy, No Code is deffo in my top 5) Even if their later stuff isn't quite as good, they're still guaranteed to have at least 3 or 4 great songs on there, whereas a lot of other bands could release a good later album but with no 'great' songs on it.

What is the song at 39:00???

[@SaintMartins]

It's not a Pearl Jam song it's part of this documentary's music score. An original acoustic tune written to sound like "Better Man" Earlier they did their own knock off of "Even Flow" LOL

[@imoverhere8327]

Sad that Pearl Jam is last of an era not that long ago. Many were lost too soon.

[@mikewood8561]

What genre is Three Doors Down? Alternative?

[@SaintMartins]

No, just pop rock or regular Rock 'n Roll.

Can't believe Eddie is the last frontman left from the Seattle scene when Ozzy and Robert plant and Roger Daughtry are still walking around. Even Lannegan is gone now.

My favorite grunge band. Always was. When everyone was going crazy over Nirvana I was like, why??? Pearl jams way better. Lol. Always just loved Eddie Vedder and what he stood for. His voice too was different but freaking incredible. I sang Pearl jams songs for 10 years at every karaoke bar from Massachusetts to Hawaii. His voice was easy for me to duplicate. Had probably 50 guys and women come talk to me after I sang a few songs giving me their card saying call me tomorrow, you got an amazing voice and maybe we can get you a record deal. I'd wake up the next day and look at the card and say, yeah right, I'm not that good. I never called any of them. Now I wonder what would of happened cause I always wanted to be a singer but I never thought I was good enough. I've had thousands of fans screaming and clapping and saying I was awesome but I guess I never really believed they were serious. I'm 51 now and I can still sing, and I still have people saying damn you got a good voice, and I still don't believe their being honest. Wasted talent I feel.

[@Sumner1028]

Pearl Jam isn't a grunge band. They were maybe just a rock band. That's it

[@meghanwilkins1089]

Does anyone know how I can find full footage from the performance of Go @ 46:30 ??

[@Jabberstax]

Sorry, no. There's a lot of videos of "Go" from around that time, but can't find the exact one.
