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
set More...
Review about Pearl Jam Terry isn't idiotic. | Reviewer: Strazmoid
------ About the song Yellow Ledbetter performed by Pearl Jam
That is kind of harsh, seeing as all terry did was voice his opinion.
Maybe on some level Terry was right any way.
Not everything has to have a single meaning you know, and as you said yourself, Eddie Vedder changes the lyrics every time.
As you said, this song isn't about the lyrics, it is about the tone, and the tone fits what terry said.
Don't flame.

i really feel sorry for him and his family. the story is very touchy to talk about bcuz of all the pain he and his family went thru. i would have understood where he was coming from and it hurts when u lose someone thru suicide. rest in peace Jeremy.

Ok. Swede guy, that, i believe, is a stereotype. there are plenty of ppl here unwilling to put up with the crap our government is giving us. such as myself. i am starting small and working my way up on the political hierarchy trying to reform issues i am passionate about. so i think you are wrong
Title change | Reviewer: Gray
------ About the song The Fixer performed by Pearl Jam
Okay I know this sounds wierd but has anybody tried to put "Backspacer" on their computer and have the titles and information come up as the song titles and info from the "Pearl Jam" album. The album title changed to "Pearl Jam" and the song titles were changed to the titles from that album minus "inside job" and "come back" of course because Backspacer has two less songs on it. I'm just confused as hell as to why it would do something like that and if anybody has an idea just leave a review. Thanks

------ About the song Given To Fly performed by Pearl Jam
It helped me quit my highly paid, but boring (and slightly evil) job as an ad agency CEO and do what I always wanted to do, which is to fly aerobatics for a living. And for the past 8 years it's worked out.
I might be poorer financially, but I'm a lot richer in a million other ways.
one of my favorite songs. | Reviewer: Colin SM
------ About the song Wishlist performed by Pearl Jam
I love this song. I've always liked Pearl Jam, but I never really got into them fully. However, when they released their new album, Backspacer, I LOVED IT! So, I started looking through their other stuff, and this is one of theirs i realllllllly like. great great great song.
Meaning of song obvious | Reviewer: Jay Boy
------ About the song Given To Fly performed by Pearl Jam
The song is about learning to surf waves. The feeling you get when you surf your first wave can be described as flying. The line "A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw
Delivered him wings" kind of gives it away.
It is a really good song and pearl jaam is one of my favorite bands.

their best work | Reviewer: Kabsy
------ About the song Black performed by Pearl Jam
This is the first song by pearl jam although not released as a single. To me it is the best song of theirs by far, so much emotion in Eddies voice and music is brilliant, every time i hear him sing it it make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. She must have been one hell of a women to envoke such emotion.
Double Meaning | Reviewer: Anne Onymous
------ About the song Footsteps performed by Pearl Jam
This song kinda has a double meaning to it.
It is the last part of the Mamasan trilogy where the man from the first two parts (Alive, Once) is reflecting on what he has done in prison.
However it can also be interpreted as a sad, break-up song as well.

------ About the song Man of the Hour performed by Pearl Jam
My dad died when I was five, back in June 1992. I first heard this song in December 2003, when I was with my then-girlfriend in Denver, Colorado. It moved me to tears then. I've since managed to come to terms with his death a little more, but I still feel as if there's a part of me missing. However, just as there's a part of me missing, there'll always be a part of him filling in that missing part. It's "the rusted signs left just for me."
And he still guides me, with love, his own way.
Thanks, Ed.

Quality.
You have to be in the mood. We used to listen to this album when slightly, um, under the influence of a few recreationals (I'm not advocating that, was quite a few years ago!).
Always used to make us laugh. Even sober it makes me laugh.
Slightly unnerving if you take it at face value I guess :)
I love this song because my mom sing it one night in the car and i ask what are you sing and she said the LAST KISS and and i hear that night my mom was listing to it that night and i sad that is so cool and i like thu part when you give the feels away and how you felt that night when you lost her that night
Nice song | Reviewer: Swede
------ 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!!!"
Maybe if ur from USA. Here in Sweden we dont take crap from the goverment like u do in the USA just look at ur terrible health care system.
Amazing Song | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Black performed by Pearl Jam
This song just might be Pear Jam's best. I absolutely love Eddie Vedder's vocals all throught the song, not to mention some powerful guitar work. So much emotion to this song, it's just one of those songs that is just able to combine the emotion into the not just the lyrics and vocals, but also the instruments. I just heard this song on the raido and every time i hear it, i just go off to a place where i'm surrounded by the sounds that these guy's bring, and reminds me of certian people and places i've seen and known so far in my life. I just wish i could've been around at the time when this kind of great music was making it big.
my personal story | Reviewer: Marcelo
------ About the song Off He Goes performed by Pearl Jam
It's incredible how can one song have different meaning to so many different people. I always related it with a friend of mine who had to spend some time in for being involved in a fatal accident. He spent nearly 3 years away from everything until he got a parole and suddenly appeared at my house for a visit. He had changed a lot, his weight, his hair, everything. A couple of years later I heard this song for the first time and instantly reminded me of him. Altough he looked different, and everyone seemed reluctant to have him around as he was an ex-con, in many ways he was still the same. The last part of the song reminded me that about 8 o'clock he had to left to check with his parole officer. A few months later he completely vanished out of town, but I heard he was taken in again for something else. Never heard of him again.
Very meaningful song... | Reviewer: cartman
------ About the song Push Me Pull Me performed by Pearl Jam
This song is about coming to terms with death, and accepting the fact that you're gonna die someday. "I had a false belief, thought I came here to stay. We're all just visiting, all just breaking like waves."
The rest of the song follows the same concept, I even think the "end-of-day" horn sounding is signaling its the end, but of life.
Or maybe its just about the end of the Yield album?

Beautiful. The kind of song that chills you to your core, no matter how many times you listen to it. It hit me right from the first time I'd ever heard it, and I love reading these reviews because they only stand to prove that this is a brilliant song.
How can you tell?
People who are now 30 years old listened to it and connected to it when they were 16/17/18.
I'm 18 now and it still reaches out to me. Passes along the generations and still holds an impact.
It's amazing.
I love Pearl Jam, so excited that they're hitting up Melbourne soon! :)
