Pearl Jam, Formed Seattle, 1990.
The genesis of Pearl Jam was rooted in chance and tragedy.
Stone Gossard
(guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass) had both been members of
seminal grungers Green River, and later MOTHER LOVE BONE
with ex-Malfunkshun member, Andrew Wood, on vocals. When
Wood died of an overdose, his longtime friend Chris Cornell
(of Soundgarden) put together a tribute project called
TEMPLE OF THE DOG (1991) -- Gossard, Ament and new recruit
Mike McCready(guitar) were roped in, as was Eddie Vedder
(vocals), who had provided some vocals for a demo tape put
together by the others.
Once TEMPLE OF THE DOG was in the can Dave Krusen (drums)
joined the other four. Flirting with different names on the
way (Mookie Blaylock and Reenk Roink), they eventually

terry's idiotic | Reviewer: AJ
------ About the song Yellow Ledbetter performed by Pearl Jam
Terry has no idea what he's talking about. Eddie Vedder himself has announced that it's about receiving a letter from the government saying that a family member has died overseas serving the military. He has also stated that he does, in fact, change the lyrics every time he sings it. There are no official lyrics to the song. But the power of the tune is undeniable. His voiceis spectacular, and conveys emotions without lyrics. He could essentially hum the song and it would have the same affect. And this guitar riff is my personal favorite of all time, i've spenthours sitting in my room, listening to this song and just thinking. By the way Terry, it's not all that difficult to use a little thing called "spell check"
Crazy Mary | Reviewer: Bohddi
------ About the song Crazy Mary performed by Pearl Jam
I love this song so much too! I live 4 hrs from Seattle and never have seen Pearl Jam live. I did once stand next to a guy who was on the phone with Victoria Williams.. As close as I got.. But this song Rules!
My Dad, My uncle and me. | Reviewer: caggi
------ About the song Stupid Mop performed by Pearl Jam
Once when i was very young, My uncle ,from Tacoma, came and he was showing us his tape recorder. He was interviewing me. This is what was said. Up to "My last one was born in the system" This part I don't think was us. I remember him asking me "Do you ever think that you actually would kill yourself? I remember I thought about it for a minute. Trying to imagine my future. I had a feeling of impending doom and replied "Yes, I believe I would..." Then my uncle put the tape in a cabinet below the T.V. When I went back it was broken. I never knew how it got broken? When I heard this song, I knew it was my father that broke it."

Hah | Reviewer: Jack E. Moore III
------ About the song Jeremy performed by Pearl Jam
So the entire song is about some kid who bit a teacher's tit and shot himself? Oh well, songs build so much clout over nothing. At least he didn't go on a killing spree, or leave is computer running a good game people can try to condemn in their stupid greif rants...
it's about eddie | Reviewer: Tom
------ About the song Off He Goes performed by Pearl Jam
i think it is about eddie, but it's about how he's always having to deal with a busy mind.. like a kind of depression.. sometimes he's ok, but then all of a sudden it changes, negative thoughts.. so when he says he's a shitty friend he probably means he's to busy with his own problems.. but like always.. we will never know what eddies interpretation is!
i'm a little depressed myself, and i always feel like this song is about a guy like me "It's like his thoughts are too big for his size"
My personal story with this song | Reviewer: FrankieA
------ About the song Off He Goes performed by Pearl Jam
Take this song for what you want. A friend who was close to me and would have become a family member was taken away too soon. He was a person who I looked upto in my late teens who decided to indulge in other activities and could have been my brother in law. Towards the end it appeared he had changed and his priorities had shifted. When I first heard this song on No Code, it has and always will remind me of Al.
i think | Reviewer: me
------ About the song State of love and trust performed by Pearl Jam
i think the best thing about eddies vocals is that you can barely understand what he's saying.but you hear the emotion and you can interpet the meaning to suit you.and all the "noises" he makes speaks a hundred words.
WWS | Reviewer: huh?
------ About the song Worldwide Suicide performed by Pearl Jam
i just heard this song. its a good song. i like pretty much any song that takes a stand for what the band or singer believes in. we live in a world where people are too scared to say what they feel so if you have a voice USE IT!!!
Black | Reviewer: Lisa
------ About the song Black performed by Pearl Jam
I first heard "Black" briefly in my car and walked into my home muttering the words and my then nine and ten year olds began jumping on me to go the concert. This was in New Orleans where they had scheduled (2) shows. Unfortunately, both shows were sold out. My friends told me the band did not do "Black." Then a miracle occurred - they added a third show, we got great tickets and praise all that is holy and precious, Eddie Vedder sung "Black." My (2) older girls (I have four daughters) were supremely jealous, so that gave me an excuse to see then every time they have come to town. "Black" has almost become my personal anthem (I would say definitely - but Pearl Jam does so many songs that touch my heart and soul.) I hope they have the longevity of the Rolling Stones, the impact of a vanguard forefront (really - already achieved,) the prolific production of Lennon/McCarthy and most important PLAESE COME BACK TO NEW ORLEANS !!!!! I live (4) miles from where the levees broke and we are looking for distractions of such a magnitude concert of two or three or four from one of New Orleans all time favorite, yes it is: PEARL JAM
One of your legions of "Number One Fans", I remain truly committed: Lisa E. Martin
(N.B. If I could get an autographed picture- -or even just a picture, especially of Eddie Vedder you could certainly give me, a housebound invalid a major thrill. (I do respect and admire the whole band, including, but not limited to the songs that Stone and Eddie write together. May be it's the ancient pull of the "lead "singer. I love you all
Awesome Song | Reviewer: seth
------ About the song Rats performed by Pearl Jam
Love the fact that Pearl Jam manage to squeeze in a reference to the 70's film 'Ben', a great little social commentary film about how uncivilized humans are compared to what we consider "lower" forms of life. (It's quite likely that Michael Jackson named his pet rat after watching the film. I doubt very, very highly that Pearl Jam ever heard anything at all about Mike's pet rat. I mean, COME ON, dude!)
beautiful, regardless | Reviewer: kuyzat
------ About the song Given To Fly performed by Pearl Jam
I'm under the impression that the beginning of the song is actually:
He could’ve TURNED in, tuned in
But he tuned out
BY BED time, nothing could save him
what do you think?
I absolutely love this song. Some of u say a song represents different things to different ppl. Sure, most of us agree, but the point is, what does it mean to you? The point is us sharing our views of the world, our feelings and learning from each other. It is valuable to talk about our differences, as long as we stay polite and open minded.
For me, this song is about some1, who is rather rebellious, finding out about the world at large, discovering that there is something else, something magnificent, over the hill. Instead of being selfish and just moving on to explore, he/she turns back and wants to liberate others, to take them over the hill to explore, to grow, to be free. But ppl are afraid of the unknown, afraid of change and some of them attack him/her defensively. But he/she doesn't hold a grudge, he/she wont just let it go and so he/ takes off again, to fly away, over the hill. "And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly"
Beautiful song, most of us think so, regardless of how we interpret it.

------ About the song Black performed by Pearl Jam
I can still remember buying this tape..actually bought it twice...and now on CD...I can relate to the emotions that you all shared above...I still can cry when I play this song...im getting goosebumps thinking about it...I was a young man also...17 I believe...I can remember trying to mend a lost love at the time and driving home which was 30 minutes away...and whaling along with the first verse...then the second...and when you finally lost your breath on the last word mine...all that negative energy,vibe,feelings,what have you escaped your soul...the tears still falling...your eyes swolen and your heart heavy...you'd listen to it again and again till i arrived at home...I remember even sitting in my car listening to it again...BLACK is my favorite song of all time..even if it brings back the past...but the past is what made us...stronger...smarter..and ready for the next time...

CHILLLLLL | Reviewer: Little Blue
------ About the song Plush performed by Pearl Jam
Anyone who has been listening to music for any amount of time may not know that STP are the Original singers of the song Plush, but now we know thanks to your input. Not everyone is stupid, they may prefer the PJ version better. I like the STP version but I heard that one first. Thanks for enlightening us.
amazing song | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Man of the Hour performed by Pearl Jam
this song reminds me of when my parents divorsed and my dad, who was my hero became an alchoholic, my dad is a very succesful and proud man and to see him drink his life away kept me wake at nights... 3 years after things are much better and this song still brings tears to my eyes.
Just so amazing | Reviewer: Andy
------ About the song Black performed by Pearl Jam
The emotion Eddie Vedder puts into this song is amazing Pearl Jam is such a big influence in my life, these lyrics with Eddie's voice gives me chilles everytime, and especially when he holds out "mine" at the very end. I was born 1 year after this song came out, I can't believe that this song is the old cause it is ahead of it's time, this song relates to with me and what my old girlfriend did to me, I could listen to this song over and over, I listened to this song 13 times in a row! "Ten" is such a big influence on my life and Eddie Vedder is such a humble guy, and he respects his band mates and fans, and he is just so amazing! Pearl Jam rules!
Light Years | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Light Years performed by Pearl Jam
Light Years is one of the best Pearl Jam songs to me, and it means a lot to me. He sings about his girlfriend who passed away; therfor there's so much feeling in his voice. It's so beautiful, it almost makes me cry...
no clue, great thoughts already! | Reviewer: Slater
------ About the song Given To Fly performed by Pearl Jam
im not sure what the message is, or if its even intended to have one. but i've heard other great song writers awnser questions asked "what is the meaning to this song??" and they've replied somthin like "everyone has their own meaning to a song, it can be about w/e they feel it's about." not sayin Vedder said that but thats how i see it. no need to argue. we all love Pearl Jam and the great tunes they've brought us thru the years. the meaning of the song could be just about anything you yourself see's it as. cheers to all!
