A lot of pieces had to fall into place for Pearl Jam to release their classic track “Better Man.” In a recent conversation with Rick Beato, producer Brendan O’Brien detailed how the song came together. “I made a comment early on… really the first day on the job,” he explained, recalling the first time he heard Pearl Jam play “Better Man” in their rehearsal space. “That sounds great. That’s a hit. That’s awesome,” O’Brien declared at the time. “And everybody just kind of goes, ‘Ugh.’ And I just went, ‘Oh, I have said the wrong thing.’” Part of Pearl Jam’s uneasiness with “Better Man” was that i...

Eddie Vedder took a swipe at Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker during Pearl Jam’s Saturday performance in Las Vegas, calling him a “pussy” for the retrograde comments he made during last week’s commencement address at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas. You can watch Vedder make his comments below. During his controversial speech, Butker congratulated the women graduates, whom he claimed had been fed “diabolical lies” about their future. “Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your...

Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard recalled the stressful experience of recording for Neil Young while fighting a flu infection. Impressed by the Seattle band in the years just after their arrival and having interacted with them live on several occasions, Young – sometimes referred to as the “godfather of grunge” – invited them to back him on his 1995 album Mirror Ball. They were delighted to accept, despite feeling apprehensive about the challenge. “It was four days of recording the Neil songs. I had the flu for two days,” Gossard told the Broken Record Podcast in a recent episode (audio below...

The two chatted about Eddie Vedder‘s lyrics on the title track of Pearl Jam’s new album, Dark Matter, and how there’s some ambiguity in the meaning of some of the lines. As the guitarist notes, “Dark Matter” features the lyric “Kin...

Eddie Vedder suggested producer Andrew Watt should helm Pearl Jam’s latest album Dark Matter after the pair worked together on the singer’s solo album Earthling. And while everyone involved with the follow-up to Gigaton is happy with the results, Vedder himself admitted that, on occasion, the process didn’t always go smoothly. “Andrew would, to be honest, he’d start to piss me off a little bit,” he told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. “And then I’d try to do something really good, just to say like, ‘Fuck you. Back off.’” READ MORE: Why Pearl Jam’s First Listeners Were ‘Dicks’ to Eddie Vedder He con...

Pearl Jam has released “Wreckage,” the latest song from their upcoming album Dark Matter. You can listen to it below. The mid-tempo song finds Eddie Vedder embracing a Tom Petty-like delivery, crooning on themes of survival and the passage of time. The acoustic-tinged tune offers yet another stylistic shift, hinting at the versatility on display in Pearl Jam’s twelfth studio album. By contrast, the previously-released “Running” is a frenzied, punk-style attack, while the title track delivers bombastic, anthemic rock. In a conversation with Spin, guitarist Stone Gossard revealed how Vedder and ...

A letter signed by 200 artists including Pearl Jam, Jon Bon Jovi and R.E.M. called on AI developers to change their approach to how music is used with the technology. The strongly-worded statement from the Artist Rights Alliance expressed concerns that the value of human creativity is being devalued by the way art is used to train language models – amounting to an “assault on human creativity.” “Make no mistake: we believe that, when used responsibly, Al has enormous potential to advance human creativity… in a manner that enables the development and growth of new and exciting experiences for m...
