Eddie Vedder makes jab at Mötley Crüe during New Jersey concert

Eddie Vedder is “grateful” to be back on stage after recovering from what he calls a “pretty serious” bout of COVID-19.

Eddie Vedder was joined by The Police drummer Stewart Copeland at a California show this weekend to perform ‘Message In A Bottle’ – check out footage below.Vedder and his all-star band The Earthlings, which features Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and former RHCP guitarist (and current Pearl Jam touring member) Josh Klinghoffer, are currently towards the end of a short US tour behind Vedder’s new solo album, ‘Earthling’.At Friday night’s (February 25) show at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, Copeland joined the band on drums for an extended run through one of The Police’s biggest hits.It also saw Chad Smith, usually drummer for the band as he is in Red Hot Chili Peppers, taking up guitar duties instead.See footage of the performance below.At an earlier show on the tour in Seattle, Vedder paid a moving tribute to the late Mark Lanegan following the grunge icon’s death.The former Screaming Trees frontman passed away yesterday morning at his home in Killarney, Ireland.There was an outpouring of grief from artists across the music world from the likes of Manic Street Preachers, The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess, Anton Newcombe and many others.Vedder, who was performing at the Benaroya Hall, paused his show to honour the late 57-year-old.“I got here about four o’clock and all of a sudden my body started shaking a little bit,” he told the audience. “I started to feel really terrible and I think it was because I was having an allergic reaction to sadness.“Because we lost… there’s a guy called Mark Lanegan.

Not so fast! Former Mötley Crüe singer John Corabi slammed Hulu’s Pam & Tommy after the miniseries claimed that the group had beef with Third Eye Blind in the ‘90s.

Pam & Tommy, starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan, has rubbed some people the wrong way, as it dramatizes the real events surrounding Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee’s honeymoon sex tape being stolen and distributed. Anderson and Lee are not involved in the series, and the Baywatch icon, in particular, has been open about not wanting any part of it. Now, one of Lee’s former bandmates has spoken out, with some harsh words about the portrayal of the drummer and their band, Mötley Crüe.

New Hulu series “Pam & Tommy” dramatizes the circumstances surrounding the leak of the former couple’s infamous sex tape, but how much of what viewers see onscreen is actually true?

Mötley Crüe singer John Corabi has dubbed the new TV series Pam & Tommy “full of bullshit”.The new Disney+ mini-series chronicles the scandal in which Pamela Anderson’s sex tape with her husband, Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan), was stolen and leaked to the world.John Corabi, who fronted the Crüe from 1992-1996 after the departure of Vince Neil, has taken to Twitter to share his anger about the series, calling it “98 per cent fictional”.Corabi tweeted: “OK, just my opinion here on something that’s been bugging me. The Tommy and Pam miniseries on Hulu, is so full of bullshit, it’s ridiculous!!!! I can honestly say about 98 percent of this ‘FICTIONAL’ take on T&P’s life is CRIMINAL.”He added: “I shared 5 years of my life with Tommy and although it was at times INSANITY it’s soooo overblown in this SHIT they call TV entertainment!”“Tommy never walked around in a Speedo, didn’t act at all they way they portray him, and now I see that Third Eye Blind ‘bumps’ us from a studio, because they’re more relevant???? DID NOT HAPPEN … !!!” he added, referencing a scene where Lee walks into a studio before being alerted that the larger Studio A is being used by Third Eye Blind, and that the Crüe are demoted to Studio B.In a new interview, Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins confirmed that the scene was completely fabricated, saying: “Mötley Crüe and I’ve never been in the same studio.”Just my opinion! pic.twitter.com/RLHK07Wk7y— John Corabi (@Crablegs59) February 18, 2022“Apparently, HULU, and all involved in this crock of shit don’t care about how Pam may feel to have to relive this,” Corabi added.

Third Eye Blind’s Stephan Jenkins has responded to a beef between himself and Mötley Crüe, depicted in new show Pam & Tommy.In the fifth episode of the new Hulu show, Tommy Lee (played by Sebastian Stan) walks into a studio before being alerted that the larger Studio A is being used by Jenkins’ band, and that the Crüe are demoted to Studio B.“Hey, who the fuck are you guys?” Lee says in the scene. “I’ve got bad news for you, Third Eye Blind. Studio A is Mötley Crüe’s room.”“Really? That’s funny,” Jenkins (portrayed by Jeffrey Conway) replies.

Pearl Jam‘s Stone Gossard has tried to defuse the recent war of words between his bandmate Eddie Vedder and Mötley Crüe‘s Nikki Sixx.Gossard said that he was a fan of Mötley Crüe’s music, despite Vedder’s recent comments, and that he had purchased the band’s 1981 debut album ‘Too Fast For Love’ when it was still available only on the indie label Leathür Records.“Jeff [Ament, Pearl Jam bassist] and Mike [McCready, guitarist] and I loved hard rock, like, went through it all. I bought the first Mötley Crüe on Leathür Records,” Gossard told the Fan First podcast. “I thought it was, at the time, it was punk-like.

After Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder recently got into a war of words with Nikki Sixx, a perhaps unexpected person has come to the defence of the latter’s band Mötley Crüe – Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard.It all began last month when Vedder said in an interview that he’d worked at a venue in the 1980s where hair metal bands like Mötley Crüe had played, and that he had always “despised” what he saw as a “vacuous” music scene.Sixx then hit back, saying that he was taking Vedder’s comments as a “kind of a compliment”, because Pearl Jam are “one of the most boring bands in history”. This prompted Pearl Jam to tweet a video of one of their audiences apparently having a whale of a time, with the caption “we love our bored fans”.But while Vedder was not, and is still not, a fan of Mötley Crüe in their heyday, it turns out that several of his bandmates were.In a new interview with Revolver’s Fan First podcast, Gossard says: “For sure, Jeff [Ament, bass] and Mike [McCready, guitar] and I loved hard rock, you know, like, [we] went through it all.

Eddie Vedder has told Bruce Springsteen about the “secret tribute” to Tom Petty on his new solo album, ‘Earthling’.The two rock stars sat down together to talk about politics, musical influences and some of the songs on the Pearl Jam frontman’s new album for Amazon Music.Speaking about the track ‘Long Way’, Springsteen commented that he could hear “the ghost of Tom” in the song. “Somebody acquired for me a Guild four-string tenor [bass] – it almost looks like a Hofner in a way,” Vedder replied. “So I started playing some little things and had my guy record it and then I put drums on it and put some vocals on it and it all happened in an afternoon.
