    What a great interview. I teared up at the end because I know first hand the impact this band has on someone. I met my wife in 1992 at both of our first PJ concert. We just celebrated 31 years married with 5 girls. None of this would have happened had we not been fans of this iconic band so I too thank PJ for a life I only dreamed about. We will see them live this year for the 30th time, yes 30!! We've traveled the planet following them in the early 2000s and memories for a lifetime. Loving this new album but more so loving this band❤️😊

    You wont fully appreciate the album until it's plugged in your ears and turned up. The sound this band put out is unlike anything I've heard from them. It really grows on you.

    Nicole I've listened to you on the radio for years and never realized how much of a PJ fan you were. Love it. Pearl Jam Concerts are like going to church for some of us, the energy off that crowd is something you never forget.

    Oh my goodness I don't know how you kept your cool. What an amazing interview and opportunity to speak with Eddie. I swear I could listen to him talk all day. There is just something about his awkward way of talking but then still articulates himself in the most brilliant way. Eddie Vedder will never not be my spirit animal ❤

    I've had this thought of Eddie getting Mick, Paul, and Topper to re-form the Clash for a final studio album and maybe a tour. Apparently, Joe and Mick wrote a batch of songs right before Joe passed that could form the basis for a studio album. I know Eddie consider The Clash one of the holy grails of what he does.

    Great interview, I've had dreams of Eddie but never really know what I'd say if I met him, but your questions were really great. So cool how he used songs to answer like being in the present tense, or on the porch to feel the present. Maybe Buckle Up needs to be renamed to "Be Careful" :D He sure had a wild time with climbing the rafters - glad he was careful! I personally think the best way to experience Dark Matter is running with ear phones blaring - just filling your head with sound out in the world, smiling to people as you run past them. Does depend on how great your car speakers are, but I once blew one, so don't rely on that anymore. Thanks again!

      Have you ever asked yourself why if Abruzzesse is so good he has not been hired by any of the top bands? I do not have an answer to that, but there must be one. So, I recommend you to get over to his absense in PJ so as to stop the pain I suspect you still have. That happened in 1994!

  • @conorfurlong
    @conorfurlong Місяць тому +1

    I find a staggering that someone who has been recording music for 30 years thinks that this album sounds good.
    GREAT songs - but they *need* to remix and remaster it.
    The amount of compression is awful, the live drums sound like a drum machine, the guitars sound squeely (not in a good way) and everything is horribly brickwalled.
    This is Pearl Jam, not Dua Lipa.
    It’s an aural disastrous mess, just like the Rolling Stones album he destroyed.

    • @pedrofranco3434
      @pedrofranco3434 Місяць тому +6

      @@jamesskilling7363 music taste is very personal I respect that. The point is with Brendan they were going down a path I think it was uncharateristic for them, I dare to say there was almost no soul to their work, LB was a major disapointment for me, lacks personality. This album on the other hand it fuses their past sonorities quite well, is a journey from beggining to end and captures their live energy! Andrew Watt deserves praise!

      It’s subjective for sure. For me, they have been trash since the self titled avocado album. That album was weak and it’s been down from there. But they peaked at VS. Eddie’s ego just took over after that. Kicked their drummer out and changed how they paid royalties. Eddie takes the chunk. Same thing happened with Nirvana after Nevermind.
