  • There isn’t a more soothing baritone voice than Eddie Vedder’s. The Pearl Jam frontman has sung some of grunge music's most signature singles and has even successfully lent his vocals to other genres of music.
    The legendary musician and his band Pearl Jam are arguably the most influential band of the '90s. He is also one of the few rock frontmen that has managed to avoid destroying his life with mind-altering substances.
    But Vedder has faced his fair share of obstacles and struggles in his life. Behind his smooth vocals lies a life filled with hardship and loss. This is the truth of Eddie Vedder.

      Comments like this are so stupid and so annoying the Seattle grunge scene was an hour away from the Vancouver Grinch scene the only reason there was a Seattle grunge alternative thing at all is because it was right next to Canada notice how it didn't grow anywhere else in the country yeah the next time you're thinking about the great alternative bands of the 90s you may want to include moist and a few others that are so often overlooked but were leading factor to douchebags like Eddie Vedder even becoming famous,,

I've seen on you tube videos of Eddie being very disrespectful to him during shows and Rick has told me horror stories of his drinking and abusive behavior toward him. Before I knew Rick I was a huge pearl jam fan. I mean huge! When I seen how Eddie tried to humiliate Rick in LA in front of the whole crowd in 2013 I was enraged and so disappointed. Mind you I didn't know Rick then but had met at show in Dallas 2 weeks before. I got to know him later on. My opinion of Eddie has changed drastically and not for the good. Plus the way they continued to snub Dave Abbruzzesse over the years just shows piss poor chicken shit behavior. Hate the guy if they want but no one can deny his contributions to the band in the early years. And this band snubs Dave every time. Other than that I've made cool friends seen awesome shows and made great memories because of Eddie and Pearl Jam. He is a hell of a singer and song writer and entertainer.

    "I'd fall asleep in class". - True story, I had Eddie's government teacher in '92, about a decade after he was sitting in that very class @ San Dieguito High in Encinitas. The teacher mentioned how Eddie would sit in the back of class and basically be silent and disconnected. Which was surreal to hear about as Jeremy was on an hourly blast on MTV at the time.

    I have the lyrics to Rearview Mirror tattooed on my shoulder, when Pearl Jam came on the since in Australia in 1992/1993 I was 12/13 and living in a foster home, although I always loved music even back then being a huge fan of Gun's n Roses and Metallica and the likes, Pearl Jam just went that 1 step further for me, 30 years on I am now 43 and my love of the band and their music has never wavered and their music is the back drop/ theme song to so many memories in my life, good and bad, I feel lucky to have been at that prime age where music is so influential when Pearl Jam hit the big time, it's one thing to hear the music now and love it but it's another thing to grow up with it and I feel blessed I had that.
    Rearview Mirror is the song I will have played at my funeral but until that day I will continue to enjoy and appreciate the talent that is Pearl Jam.

    Eddie V. You are truly an amazing human (🏄 surfer) being.
    I can remember a long long time ago when my life was aimless boring and senseless .I was a security guard on a construction site in Victorville California . With wood framed up walls a little drywall and no windows and I walked and danced and ran around inside the Halls of that unfinished building with my Sony Walkman headphones on for almost a year with nothing but Pearl Jam lodged inside the music machine that's all I could do that's all I wanted to do that's all I still want to do is listen in to your soothing sounds.
    Pearl Jam changed my life and I'm a very successful person to this day .
    Live- love - & - listen to your people Eddie.

    Why did they name their first album Ten? Because that was Mookie Blaylock's number! Eddie does a lot for the environment. He loves the ocean and ocean life. He and his wife do so much more for kids in hospitals and for the community that isn't listed because they don't do it for the cameras! He's truly one of the good guys.

Always loved him, deserves all the success and good will possible... And he's a unique performer! 🙏👍✨😎

That broke my heart to know he also knows the pain of living an adult life while your peers were still living teenage lives.

    Eddie you are one of a kind!! I first heard your music way back when I was stuck in a war thorn country with bunch of my friends listening to “Ten” late into the night over and over again. It was 1993 and yes “Ten “ was released few years earlier and since my country was in turmoil we were lagging after the rest of the world for a few years. I was 18 and wouldn’t change a thing about anything I have lived trough as well as hearing you guys few years later than rest of the world. Universe brought it into my life at most perfect moment. Life was something of a survival mode mixed with lots of intoxication to bare trough those morbid days filled with innocent people being killed on a daily basis hunger, fear and getting trough it by killing precious memory cells was an perfect option. Life could have been easily lost but since that was our only reality we had no choice but make best out of it and come out “Alive” Thank you Eddie for trying to change the world and make it better place, for letting your true purpose shine trough and in that offer an eye opener to those in need. Your clairvoyant fan who still get goosebumps when listening to “Ten”Love and light !!🌸 888 comments 8 my life # and 6 my chosen#

    I always enjoy hearing things about P.J. and Eddie and how other people came to find the band.e.g. someone told them, heard a song on the radio. I myself had just returned from Okinawa and the first Gulf War and was still pretty freaked about things. I recall driving up I-95 on a swoop home from Lejeune and getting around Baltimore listening to 98 ROCK when I heard my first PJ song. Being in Japan for 26 months I hadn't heard all the new realeases yet and really started catching them on the radio back in the states. I remember Nirvana Teen Spirit was really kicking ass, but than I heard Alive and I was hooked. I didn't understand Eddie's lyrics the first time, but could clearly hear the "I'm still alive". While I know now this is not the meaning of his song, it simply resonated with me about how glad I was to still be alive, even though I was unable to mentally quantify it at the time. Eddie pulled me up with one song, I've been a die-hard fan ever since. Saw my first show in San Diego in 93 freaking legendary.
