funny how eddie said he wished he wouldve been born earlier so he could be apart of bands in the 60s and 70s, cause i wish i was born earlier so i could see bands like pearl jam in the 90s

You can tell Eddie appreciates the interviewers manner/demeanor, he opens up more.

Eddie's smile is so beautiful 💜

Gosh, I can definitely see and hear a very young Eddie in him still, I love these guys so very much ❤️🤘 Pearl Jam forever!!

It's funny how Eddie says that "I wish I was born earlier" which is exactly how I feel, but I feel that way about the time when Eddie was growing up! I wish I was this age (20) now, back in the 80's/90's.

Pretty much sums it up"if the musicians aren't having fun the whole world Is pretty much fucked". The interviewer did a great job

he's the dude man

Eddie is such a genuine guy! Id love to hang out with him!!!!! he is a great laugh! When he smiles it makes me feel like giving him a big hug!!!!

When Eddy was talkin bout the wave, i thought he was was gonna say, "Where it takes me---eeee". Lol, you have to Know the album to get this...

For real. He is so distinguished but yet humble

Yes so true! Music brings joy, without it we are funked:)

You can truly see the emotion in Eddies face when the interviewer talks about Kurt Cobain I’d hate to be there when someone asks about Chris Cornell

Such a smart,funny, down to earth guy,like the dude you always have the most fun hanging out in your garage on a Friday night with!

thanks so much for posting this

Eddie it was incredible to see Jimmy Hendrix, the Doors, Cream, The Who, David Bowie back in the day but we just thought it was normal to listen to musicians like this.The Who were unique because of the rock opera "Tommy" and during the shows they would smash up their guitars and equipment.When it came to Jim Morrison he had the whole venue under a spell.We all lit up matches and candles which freaked out security big time.The stage sets were primitive but lights, dry ice, and smoke enhanced JM's obsession with funeral pyres.Musically it was the best because of the haunting and macabre nature but sad too because we could feel that he was going to end his life at any time.With Jimmy it was happy, electrifying and exhilerating to see because he could use his tongue to play guitar. He was as sexy as Prince in his own right. He played for the"ladies" and took over other frontmen in a blink of an eye. Having the theme song "Are You Experienced?" was a hidden way he endorsed the hippie love movement. It was always in the moment and once you had heard him play live you were hooked for life.

todos os grandes artistas deveriam ter a simplicidade de eddie vedder, assim suas bandinhas nao morreriam antes do tempo.

I think that Eddie is such a down-to-earth guy! I am so glad that he outgrew his early-to-mid 90's attitude. Granted, he's 45 years old now and of course he would have outgrown it to some extent anyway, but he has become such a damn likeable person!:-)

todos os grandes artistas pderiam ter a simplicidade de eddie vedder.

"You know" Eddie Vedder

honestly i would live during the the age of Pearl Jam,Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, rather than the time of Hendrix

Eddie you remind me of Jim Morrison.

LOL why does just seeing Eddie smile or laugh put such joy in my heart? Oh Eddie the voodoo that you do...

TE AMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Eddie Vedder is The Dude!

The wish is possible thing

god his face when the interviewer mentions kurt cobain's death.. my heart breaks at 6:44 .. you know he's remembering the day he heard the news

nailed it! :D

haha classic vedder always makes references to the ocean and waves!!

I like what Ed says @ the end, about how its not about the band, but about the music. To many musicians get an inflated ego of self just because they play in a "band" and some fans dig they're songs...I see it sometimes just on a local level where I live. Just this whole exclusive, hipster vibe, and who knows who, and that shit...

sounds like Bruno interviewing them!

i love the reissues. i wish no code and yeild were reissued.

What a good point he makes at the end. If you can't have freedom in something that is so dreamy of a position to be in than what is the point? Is that why we don't see as many Pearl Jam vids from about 95 to '03? There's a huge hole in the documentation of the band's life as reflected on this site during that time period. Lots from the begging and from the latter part of the '00's.

Sicne I was waiting for them on the Mike-side,they had to finish this interview and come out on stage: WHY GO HOME ???? :-)) It has been a perfect show.....

@sydney83w Same here. I'm 16 and I was born 4 years after Pearl Jam had their first concert in Seatle.

Como gosto dessa voz...Muito!

Eddie looks like a cross between The Dude and late era Orson Welles here. Good company.

don't talk just sing...we love ya from Canada!

@ohmah70 hell yeah.. reminds me of the lebowski dude

yeah we gotta have a good time with music enjoy or we are fucked...your right on target

nice!!!!

EDDIE BARATHEON

alot of science metaphors

Eddie!! the white socks !?? come on man, sort it out!!! :)

Can someone please find Benjamin Hensler. The guy that did this interview. Please. Tell him TBoyd is trying to contact him. It would mean the world for me. Even on Facebook. Anything. Please.

I wish I could be Immortal and travel through time and see Hendrix,Doors, Young Pearl Jam and all other great bands out there. Unfortunately, that's not an option, so I'll have to stick to whats good in these times.

I am guessing there are plenty of Pearl Jam fans tuning in to this. I ask one thing of you guys. Please do not encourage the Greek guy Demetrios who pops up on anything PJ related. He is a stalker. His obsession with the band has gotten to a very unhealthy point. He reduced himself to posting pictures of Eddie Vedder's children online which had previously not been published in teh public domain! Please do not encourage him because he is the one fan I believe would try to kill Eddie so again, please do not encourage him. The guy is dangerous.

@ThatLankyAfrican you said it man. i think the industry has lost its spark over the last 15 years. but i can envision a new underground revolution of bands who havent lost sight of the real picture and dont care about what the labels stand for ( conformity, image, and lack of adventure ) i think the real artists will realize they dont need the labels and digital filters, just their perseverance and ability to create, explore and play it raw. then the internet can be their big marketing tool.

imploding

Eddie: If musicians are not free and not having a good time then the rest of the planet is f ked.

Ya for the kinks!

Holy shit comments here are so old

bring back Dave Abbruzzese!!!

@wweye always, always and always!!! lol

thats funny, eddie says he wishes he were born earlier to see the who, i wish i were born earlier to see pearl jam

I`m afraid there isn`t. :-))

I am lost as to how this man Eddie is an atheist but he exudes compassion, joy, and kindness!! How??

isn't he jeffrey lebowski?

is there no 3:e part?

ok:P

Oh, gosh, this interviewer annoys me... And Eddie is amused by his 90s history questions. Maybe he should ve done the research on contemporary PJ work before the interview.
