*Eddie's voice is lower than my self-esteem*
Eddies voice sounds like a Bass guitar coming to life and talking !!!!
Or a pack of cigarettes.....
You should listen to Chris Hogan, his voice is a testosterone cannon
Don’t smoke
he could replace Jeff Ament in another 10 years, voice gets deeper as we age :)
It has a powerful resonance, a great space to be in.
Eddie has an awesome speaking voice wish he did audio books or something
Constant Red wine consumption does that to you
You should hear his Barry White impersonation.
Omg that would be awesome
That'd be awesome but the only downfall is the whole time he'd be talking I'd be imagining "EVEN FLOWW" lol
How to quit smoking by Eddie Vedder
Sadly we will never have a time in music like 92-93 again. I’m glad I was 15 and was able to live through it.
I think the people of the sixties and seventies said something very similar.
That had to have been awesome. I was alive at that time but way to young to know anything about what was going on. I was only 5 years old so yeah. I really do think the ,90s especially the early 90s was the best musical era.
i think about this a lot. as much as there's somewhat of a scene (or, prior to covid) in amsterdam, eindhoven, utrecht and surrounding cities, this just doesn't seem to exist in this day and age. man.
I was 13-14 and yeah, I agree. I’m from southwestern BC, like a 10 minute drive from the border.
I was 12 years old, just starting 7th grade at a new middle school, and I had just made this new friend during the first week and I go to his house on Friday and he says we have to go the rec room and listen to this new album he got. He puts the CD in (and CDs were still pretty new to me) and presses play.
Even Flow explodes from his dad’s mancave sound system. It was the first holy fuckin shit music moment of my adolescent life.
The album had just been released like a week or 2 before so they weren’t even on the radio yet.
2 years later, when I was 14, my dad (who is a guitar teacher) took me and that friend and our girlfriends across to Seattle to see them play VS songs before the album even came out.
Hearing Indifference for the first time, live, was the 2nd...
Fully agree. I was 13 in 1992 and I have often thought how lucky I was to be a teenager through this amazing time of music.
Early nineties best place to be a teenager
I heard that.
As someone who was precisely 15 going on 16 when Nevermind and One by PJ came out, I often think back to how insanely lucky my generation was to grow up to that soundtrack.
I just wish yoga pants were around then....
Imagine the after party with all those legends.Jeeeeezusss
Lotta heroin
I can only imagine!
Yeah everybody's depressed. Great party.
They would have all been asleep
They'd sit and read, probably. Or talk about how everything sucks. It wouldn't be like a Van Halen after party.
I was born in 1980 so whatever music was new around 1990 - 1995 would stay with me forever. Was so lucky to have Eddie, Kurt,Chris and Layne as my formative years icons and so sad that only one of them is still with us
I was way past my formative music years when grunge hit - but for me - I felt like I finally had a music that was my own. I feel like I should continue to keep up with newer music - but lately I find myself binging on Nirvana, et al. I ask myself the question - is the music this good that it draws me back - or am a classic old fogey stuck in my glory days. Am I like my parents, who thought music stopped at swing? I don’t hate hip hop in the way that they truly hated rock n roll - but I don’t seek it out and listen as usually as a palate refresher or a cultural check.
I am just grateful to have experienced and lived through their music.
Scott Weiland?
They may not be here with us, but true legends never really die 🙏
He has such a relaxing voice.
TBH so that my ear aches hearing it and couldn't pay attention to it
- from a begging korean province disdained and "rightfully" hated below a bug even as a whole spiritually, even among all asians
It will probably come at a cost, sadly. Smoking...
Eddie's voice makes Howard sound like a little girl
Cigarretes maybe
years of tobacco
From the German Alps
@@danielfreitas4402 though he obviously has a down deep voice to begin with.
A rare time when Howard just lets the person he’s interviewing talk!
Growing up during Seattle's musical revolution was a privilege few got to experience. We had local bands that were better than anything on the radio and we knew it in Seattle. What a great time to be alive
I just got incredibly nostalgic for an afterparty I never went to, in a town I never visited, when I would have been 10
Eddie has a natural bass voice, this makes it even more crazy that he regularly hits G#4 and even A4 in OPEN VOICE. Listen to Life Wasted. what a singer!
Cobain also said a lot of things just to screw around. If you watch or read old interviews, he often jokes or messes with people. He was also often high or drunk or literally 10 minutes after a concert so he was tired. Not making excuses but a 24 year old, drunk/stoned Cobain being asked odd questions but a stranger will incite odd answers.
He so right about the scene being everywhere all of the time. There were good shows almost every day it seemed. I miss the Seattle area 90's scene so much, nothing will ever replace that time.
I am so glad I was in my prime during this period in history. I graduated high school a month before Ten came out. Those early 90's were such an amazing magical time. It is just hard to explain. It was like everything was new and fresh. You could actually feel that you were living in an amazing period. You could tell it was something special. It really is hard to explain. But you just knew you were living in a special time. It wasn't just music either. Just everything was great. I also was a big fan of rap music and anyone will tell you this period in time was also the greatest period for rap and R&B. The early 90's are considered the golden age of rap. So you basically had two genres of music that were just incredible.
One of the only bands i never get tired of listening too. Went to a Pittsburgh show in 03, Eddie drank at least 2 bottles of wine and rocked out for a solid 3 hours.
So awesome. I was in high school when “grunge” blew up. Find memories. It seems like Pearl Jam is one of the few band that has made it out....
damn what the hell seattle sounds epic from how he described it
Yeah sounds awesome
Watch the PJ20 documentary
it really was, now Google & Amazon ruined it
yeah seattle seemed cool like 30 years ago
It was a hot spot back
Kurt, and a lot of people didnt warm up to Pearl Jam because of it existing from the ashes of Mother Love Bone. Andrew Wood was a musical saint in Seattle ... people got hung up on that when he died and the band mates moved forward. We all grew up and got over it and realized how amazing PJ is. The local scene was amazing, so many great bands but only a few made it to a successful level, but every weekend you could hear great bands all over the place.
It's amazing to hear one legend (EV) talk about another legend (KC)
he does have a nice speaking voice
Mudhoney at the Metro in Chicago early '90's... Craziest concert ever. I've never seen the whole room move all together all at once. Unbelievable
I was 25 in 1990 & im so glad i got to experience great music thru the decades .... Especially the 70s
That period really is probably the closest we've gotten to the 60's and San Francisco as far as music scenes.
Good point.
What about 70s punk, the Manchester scene NY alternative rock and Chicago industrial
Yeah but I'd say the Madchester scene in England was way closer to the 60s psychedelic scene. It was even called the "Second Summer of Love" (after the first one in the 60s).
Apart from London town
which had is fair share.
It's not a pop music scene, but while these guys were tearing up Seattle, the New Orleans sludge metal scene was INSANELY active and tight knit. Crowbar, Eyehategod, Down, Acid Bath, Abuse, Choke, factor in Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, and Exhorder, and holy shit, what a scene.
I know most people don't care about metal so it goes unnoticed, but it was exactly like the Seattle scene, but angrier and heavier.
Fittingly, the same band basically started both scenes: the Melvins. For a band with such limited success, their influence is so extensive it's unreal.
Also, honorable mention to the Florida death metal scene. Quite big in its own right, and arguably the scene with the most longevity considering that between death metal, sludge metal, and grunge, only death metal is still being played today. Sludge has largely evolved into doom metal and stoner rock, while grunge was a fad, more or less.
Eddie V is such a class act (literally-lol). I also ask why humans seem to have this need to always create rifts and competition and division instead of supporting each other in our lives, loves and creative endeavors. Someone elses's success does not tear ours down.
Not to be a boomer.. but I'm gonna be one anyway and say things will never be that good again. Perfect blend of art and camaraderie, truly living
He can literally play bass guitar with his voice 😄
Such a kind spirited guy much respect for Eddie and Pearl Jam great music to grow up to
I’ve been in love with Eddie for a lifetime
This was one of Howard sterns best interviews!
So blessed to have been in my early twenties in the 90s. Thank u for the music! 🙏
This is how I always imagined it in my head. Ed just confirmed it. What a time it was to be alive.
I was stationed In Whidbey during these times and going to Seattle on weekends, he's right the scene reminded me of the 80's in Hollywood, meaning music everywhere, back then Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Candlebox, Alice in Chains, Presidents of the US, and even the real "Spoonman", clubs packed, people going from club to club. Some of my favorite memories was my friends and I hanging out at the hurricane after a night of club hopping. What a great time..
That sounds so magical. The best era, the best music, the best bands. What I’d give to have been there.
Melvins calling Nirvana sell outs makes sense... Nirvana calling Pearl Jam sell outs is the height of irony. You don't get to put out two multi platinum albums and criticize any other band for being too "commercial".
Literally everyone else here is siding with cobain. And they became good friends
Exactly
It was more to do with how they sounded not how well they were doing.
It depends on whether the fans came to the music or the bands adjusted the music to get the fans when considering if a band is a "sell out". In the case of the Seattle sound, I think the fans came to the music, not the other way around. I don't think anybody could call In Utero "selling out". At least not with a straight face. If anything, Nirvana made a record that shouldn't have sold. It certainly wasn't as radio friendly as Nevermind. I like In Utero better than Nevermind. I also like Soup better than Blind Melon. (I know, not a Seattle band, but they were part of that time.) Neither of those two albums had anything that was as "commercial" as their predecessors.
It was jealousy. He was annoyed that Pearl Jam got so big so fast.
If I could go back to anytime and anyplace and live it....I would go to Seattle in 1990-1993.
Imagine if we hadn't lost Kurt Cobain, Shannon Hoon, Bradley Nowell, Scott Weiland, Chris Cornell, nor Chester Bennington - all great front men of their respective bands from Eddie's era... the music we would have that never was. What a shame; so unfair.
Imagine if the majority of them didn't use heroine.
Don’t forget Layne Staley.
Unfortunately Billy Corgan is still with us.
Let's not forget Layne
Don’t forget Layne Staley and Andrew Wood :)
As a kid, I grew up on 70s folk rock and 80s metal music, I really didn't appreciate the early 90s bands, and didn't understand it, but now I can't enough of it. Musically, it was a creative burst of fresh talent, who actually were influenced by a lot of same groups I was listening too,.
The best time in Seattle in the Early 90's
Dude what is up with eddie speaking voice? Does this guys have a subwoofer in his throat?
I wish i lived in Seattle those days
I was at the fairfax, va 1994 concert. A said day but an awesome concert.
Eddy is a class act. I liked Pearl Jam more than nirvana at the time and didn't really get into nirvana until Horomoning came out. Then I went back and listened to bleach and appreciated nirvana even more. Both bands were/are amazing. I miss this about todays culture. I would have loved to hear what Kurt and Eddy would have come up with if they played together. Like Hunger strike, pearl jam/soundgarden colab.
Like he said I bet the media just blew their relationship about of the water 🙂
This is the sort of stuff I long to hear about. Too many legends gone from the era to share their stories so the ones still here should.
God I miss the 90's. He's right, there were good shows everywhere around Seattle all the time. KISW played the best music. Now we're left with memories and youtube
Mentioning Kurt Bloch at the end was a major Seattle scene name drop. Seattle's punky-funky version of Joe Walsh. Best, most versatile Seattle guitarist you (maybe) never heard of.
Two wonderful bands!
IMO, the two greatest eras in rock history were the British Invasion from 1965-1971, and the Seattle Scene from 1990-1995. It really doesn't get any better than the Beatles/The Who/The Kinks/The Rolling Stones followed by Nirvana/Pearl Jam/Soundgarden/Alice In Chains.
The 90's are great!
Is there a full version video of this interview? And where is it?
Coriky’s vinyl in the background.. 👍
Early 90’s was a great time for music, some great albums and great rock music , Black Album , Ten , Achtung Baby, OK Computer, Nevermind , Automatic for the People , Dookie , Blood , Sugar,, Sex , Magik, Just a great time , You have to love Eddie Vedder , Just picks the guitar up, No warm up and blasts it out ,
i wanna go to one of those parties!
I can safely say that Eddie Vedder’s voice is the voice I’ve heard the absolute most in my life besides my own. I have been consistently listening to him and Pearl Jam since I was 13 years old. I would DIE if I got me meet him and the members of Pearl Jam.
Mudhoney on Howard Stern!!!!! Pls
It was fun back then...we played w nirvana in dallas on the bleached tour..they stayed 4 days w us..saw mother love bone open for dogs d amour and took the boys out for fun after show..great time to be a part of...
Nice shout out for The Crocodile Lounge-- I've seen so many awesome bands jam there. They place brings so many musicians together. Seattle used to be an epic place, until Amazon shit on it.
Kurt wanted to be a famous Rock star and When Nirvana hit PJ and Soundgarden all came with breakthrough stuff right around the same time. The media lumped all the Seattle bands together and Labeled it Grunge. Kurt thought of himself as an original and didn't like being associated with the others.
My phone speaker does not do justice to this voice.
Love Eddie. Period
I was exactly 18 in Seattle when all this shit went down. At the time it seemed like yeah, whatever, but now it's almost impossible to convey my appreciation for having been there.
I always took it as part jealousy. That and what Eddie alluded to with Mudhoney. Green River had an ugly break up. Mark and Steve formed Mudhoney and Jeff and Stone formed Mother Love Bone. Kurt was friends with they guys in Mudhoney.
Well, now I know my headphone's bass levels are right.
Eddie has nice hifi equipment. I see a B&W speaker and a McIntosh preamp
Wow nice Kurt Bloch name drop. Seattle’s best kept secret.
man, imagine being around for those times smh monstrous parties! and of course, great music, legendary musicians : )
Imagine living in Seattle and having that house he talked about..
Incredible interview, Honest. Eddie's voice is like honey to listen to 🥰😘 I agree Audio books would be amazing read by him.
omg i wish that i could hear eddie's morning voice
Genius answer by EV
Ohh I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Eddie vedder
*I missed all the indo band time 'cuz I was out on the streets. Can't snowboard anymore. Can learn to surf. Hope I make it to sum Aloha Nui Loa moments with Eddie and the Boys...*
Swag
I'm 67, from western Washington, and Cobain was a punk. He used to get beat up in Aberdeen for that.
When they showed them embracing, so sweet!💕🥺😢
Love this guy
Yo is that a blue bong next to Eddie on the table?
Sept 20, 1992, Pearl Jam "Drop in the Park", some guy from KISW was standing on the sidewalk and came up to our car at the stoplight in Olympia, "hey, you want free tickets to this show," hell yes we did. Parked in the U district, smoked a couple bowls, and got on the free bus to the show.
First time I heard mudhoney was on the rock the vote portion on Black Sheep.
Having a scene sounds really cool
I was 10 in 1993 and and didn't discover grunge until after Cobain died. I would give anything to find myself back in the midst of the Seattle Grunge scene.
And what’s funny is - Kurt always tried to deny there was a scene, when it clearly was the last great explosion of rawk in this country. Love to see Eddie debate Kurt on this.
Sigh. I lost a lot of hearing in Seattle in the early 90's. I remember the Crocodile well.
Wish there were rock/punk/metal scenes now like in the 90s
New Coriky record in the background!! Shout out DC and Dischord Records 😎
"Out Town", he's from San Diego.
Cool to see Eddie’s rockin the Coriky record! Nice one!
Fastbacks shoutout!!!
Seattle has changed so much since those days. Like everything, it’s changed, as all things do. The only constant is change; but that doesn’t mean that change is always for the better...
Eddie seems as down to earth as could be. Props.
I wish i could’ve been there....
I agree most of Kurt's opinion on some music.
Man kids nowadays don't party like in the 90's
I never knew until this video that Eddie has a deep, masculine voice.
No wonder he is such a great singer!
He sounds like Phil Anselmo when he talks!!
But sped up a bit.
Isn't it cool that we get to live during the Pearl Jam era! They will go down in music history as legends and we were there!! Keep smiling🤘🎸☺
The issue wasn’t Pearl Jam, it was that they weren’t really grunge. They made great music but they don’t fit into that category
Interesting. I always thought of Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains as grunge and Nirvana as the logical progression from Sonic Youth, Husker Du and the Pixies. I think they were often called hardcore or post-hardcore. The genre naming game is a bit of a wank but separating that style to that of Pearl Jam makes sense. Saying that Nirvana is in the same genre as Soundgarden and/or Pearl Jam seems wrong, so I think I agree with you. But grunge is largely defined as fairly raw alternative rock from Seattle played by long-haired people who didn't wear make-up. That's not really a music genre, more a fashion movement with a vague musical style.
They were as grunge as any of those other bands and equally as good, but were slightly different. I mean Nirvana was different than Soundgarden, which was different than Alice in Chains, which was different than Pearl Jam naming just the "top 4." VS was as punk as any album any of those other groups put out and equally as grunge/ Pacific NW. Seattle was grunge and Pearl Jam spearheaded a lot of it. Nuff said.
True
Says who?
How do they not fit in?
ASMR with Eddie Vedders voice
