Eddie Vedder Interview - 1994

[musicIuvr]

vedder you asshole, came out singing showtunes and was on the top of the charts and then try to go indie... too late!  They only did it because kurt cobains comment about hating their band made them butthurt. I like pearl jam, but they screwed their fans by switching style and avoiding ticketmaster to play cowpie fields

[aldualma]

Those forty year old people will come to the show and get hurt.. hahaha he's 46 now, and still hot as hell

[GLWillaims]

it takes 1 day to make a video for example ,dont fish and drive!

[frenchfriesforyou]

Sooo much awesome.

[gobuyabouquet]

If I were a dude, I'd want to be Eddie Vedder. Ten-ish years ago. Because he was wildly attractive.

(Oh, yeah, he was in some grunge band, right? Eh. Can't have been important.)

[montelimat]

I definitely watched this in 1994, I remember this dialogue.

[jonadamich]

@montelimat Haha that's awesome

[pyromaniarules]

wait, grunge had mosh pits?

[petefaders]

@pyromaniarules omg you're kidding right? Back in the day the singer could fart in the mic and the pit would start a-swirlin' lol.

[thedraufganger1983]

@petefaders LOL

[SirDuckDuck]

Omg, he is such a cutie pie. I kinda wanna make him 'mad' now so he can say that I'm makin' him 'mad'.

[nobolettu]

<3__<3

[yesyesohyay10]

Jeez typical miserable American cunt. Maybe if you buy my record I won't kill myself. This tortued songwriter crap really got old.

[dukenewcom2012]

@yesyesohyay10 haha wow your dumb

[piper4seeformerly]

It's funny how different he seems to me 20 years later.. I used to think he was a total fuckhead and totally full of himself, now he seems totally normal.

[mistabook]

Eddie Vedder: Where smart and incoherent meet!

[tickedoffnow]

1:09 - "...n' they'll play another cool *quiets down* Nirvana song..."

That's sad :(

Cause Eddie was so devastated, u can see in his face and the way he says it, he says "cool Nirvana song" fast & kinda quietly/incoherently-on purpose.

[tickedoffnow]

EDDIE VEDDER=MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN ALIVE

[tickedoffnow]

Eddie Vedder is a fuckin genious, a god. I luv him and he's the reason I love waking up every day, cause he's growing old with me. :)

[97RockFan]

"The small town song...ya know the slow one...Makes me really mad" :) love when he says the makes me really mad...makes me smile

[cocochanell7]

gosh he is so cute and why did mtv have to get so bad i dont understand dont they know how bad they are now mtv needs to change and start playing more music and when i mean music i mean good music not that pop mainstream shit an mtv needs less stupid reality shows!

[Lynchie1970]

WOW I'm now one of those 40 year olds he was talking about and believe me all you young fucks I can still handle myself in the pit(just like eddy says). LOL

[nimaside]

I like how is says "cool nirvana song".

[heylaura1]

1:20 "Makes me really mad!" He looks so cute when he says that, lol!

[jam1870utube]

I've been a PJ fan since I first discovered them in 1991. I have every one of their albums, including some of their live bootlegs, etc. I've listened to them over and over many times. F--- radio! They don't have a clue how versitile and talented these guys are, because they only play certain songs. Pearl Jam has so many other songs that are thought provoking, wether the song is hard&fast or slow&melodic. Their songs address so many various topics of life. Pearl Jam is a way of life.

[mzk123ify]

This is so true..I only listen to the radio at night but even now all I hear and have been hearing for maybe the last 3 nights at about 11pm is Betterman on the radio...what's up with this I keep thinking each time...I want to call and tell them play some other songs! Maybe its a tape.??? LOL

[DrQuinnMW]

He's right, the radio played Small Town, now the radio plays Just Breathe, which is an awesome song btw, but Pearl Jam are so much more than that!

[notchjohnson1]

wow he hit the nail on the head on why so many people dont know how great and underrated pearl jam is. because the radio plays fuckin elderly woman

[cbproducktions]

Who else thought of radio stations playing Just Breathe a ton when he commented on stations playing his softer songs?

[DoubleO711]

@cbproducktions Yeah really! I like that song but I remember I was at a bowling alley right after that album came out and my other friend who is more into the earlier Pearl Jam songs heard it and was like "Is this the new Pearl Jam song!? WTF!? They've gone so soft they suck now!" I was like "well the other songs on the album aren't this soft" and he was like "well they probably suck anyway!"

Given my friend was being close minded, but I just wish the radio would play some more rockin songs!

[TriGGlety]

This is MTV. Those are MTV fonts.

When MTV was actually good.

[Andreasleon27]

eddie is such a cool guy

[BobMillahhh]

What's with the ridiculous stereo panning at :50 ? I seriously despise stereo panning, ever since PF's "Interstellar Overdrive" made me nauseous with its ridiculous stereo experimentation.

[k0vert]

"all those 40 year olds are gonna get hurt in the pit".... haha this is timeless.

[LantaGem]

@k0vert Thing is, Eddie had to be around 30 years old himself when he said this - and is now in his LATE 40s and still rockin' with the best of them. ;)

Still, I can't stay mad at you, EdVed - you're STILL too cute, and PJ is SUCH a great live band!

[am305639]

Hahahha, I wonder what he thinks about this now that he is over 40!

[TheEthanhausler]

They used to play Tad on the radio?

[miamad]

VEDDER is a self absorbed TOOL>

[MKUltimate3]

@miamad shut up fucking bitch, eddie is humble

[miamad]

@MKUltimate3 Wow, why all the anger? Very UN-Eddie like, bro.

[SuperSiamesedream]

@miamad lol let him be angry. if you ask me anger is very eddie like. IMO

[barackobamachrist]

what a chud. Just can't be fucking happy you have people listening to any of your songs. Atleast your not starving in some 3rd world country. This guy just bitches about everything. What happens when you run out of things to bitch about? Next album will probably have a song about his baked beans being to cold or some shit.

[MKUltimate3]

@barackobamachrist yo fuck you, eddie vedder is being noble, he wants to be remembered as a musician and not a fucking corporate rock star, eddie's the one making music let him do his thing on how he promotes it.

[whygohome1]

@barackobamachrist Have you actually heard any of their songs? Eddie is a creative genius, a magnificent musican...his lyrics are slightly more deep than cold beans.

[TheUnknownPerception]

@barackobamachrist oh shut the hell up...you know nothing but what this world is shown to be...politics...and people like eddie vedder are out there to prove that the world is not only run on corporate fixtures or politics but on the reliance and the value of relative importance of being an influencial public figure to society...that includes all other musicians that contributed to the value of influence on society...SUCK ON IT!!!!

[Strafnaya]

@TheUnknownPerception and not just politics..

much much more.

often politics/corporatives do just what ppl expect them to do like gettin more cheap stuff to be sold to public. where ever u look people buy that what is cheapest and in same time, people want more payment, and also in same time, people keep wondering why they lose their jobs cuz corps cant afford to keep their manufacturing anymore in their soil. they need cheaper labor so they can produce cheaper products, just as wanted ;)

[IzabelMarrupho]

Ha ha ha... funny. I love "Blood" (from Vs.) Neat'o pick Ed. ;)

[gopenguinsgo1]

Vedder and his corduroy jackets...

[55akire55]

1.20 :) So funny!

[niallvan]

This is just after Kurt died.

I used to have this interview taped on VHS I wish I still did.

[MissKatebush]

@niallvan 'I' wish you did mate!
