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 made another jab at Mötley Crüe following bassist Nikki Sixx’s swipe that Pearl Jam are “one of the most boring bands in history”.Vedder and Sixx’s back-and-forth began when the Pearl Jam frontman dismissed the hair metal group as “vacuous” in a recent interview.Sixx then responded on Twitter, calling the diss “kind of a compliment” before dropping his own insult Pearl Jam’s way. The Seattle band went on to respond on Twitter two days later (February 7), writing “We [love] our bored fans” alongside a video of an animated crowd at one of their shows.We ❤️ our bored fans.

Eddie Vedder and producer Andrew Watt, all it took was a couple of guitar chords to unexpectedly jumpstart sessions for Vedder’s third solo album, “Earthling.” The project, due Feb. 11 from Seattle Surf/Republic, is imbued with the spontaneity of friends new and old jamming together for the pure love of music, while touching on a host of weighty subjects and featuring eye-popping special guests along the way.Watt, a 31-year-old Long Island native and recent Grammy winner for producer of the year, has worked closely with such mega pop stars as Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa as well as Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Elton John and Ozzy Osbourne.

As a stand-up comedian, Pete Davidson has not doubt felt what it’s like to bomb on stage. Hopefully, the experience lessened the blow when he was reportedly booed at a Syracuse University basketball game. The 28-year-old entertainer received the not-so-friendly welcome when he showed up for the match between Syracuse Orange and Louisville Cardinals at the Carrier Dome on Saturday (Feb. 6), according to Page Six. The harsh hello came three years after Pete called the city of Syracuse “trash” during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show.

Eddie Vedder is not a fan of Mötley Crüe — and apparently the feeling is mutual.

Nikki Sixx has responded to criticisms Eddie Vedder made about Mötley Crüe and the scene that spawned them, calling his words “kind of a compliment”.The bassist’s band were a part of the hair metal scene that sprung up in the States in the late ‘80s, apparently to the ire of the Pearl Jam frontman.Speaking to the New York Times last week (January 30), Vedder recalled working at a club in San Diego, where he helped load in bands’ gear. “I’d end up being at shows that I wouldn’t have chosen to go to – bands that monopolised late-‘80s MTV,” he said.“The metal bands that – I’m trying to be nice – I despised.

Jonathan Cohen On the basis of his solo show at New York’s Beacon Theater on Friday night, Eddie Vedder hasn’t lost his sense of spontaneity. Since last May, the Pearl Jam frontman unexpectedly recorded an album with a new group of musicians and is now on the road with them for his first performances in indoor venues since July 2018.“We had some difficult times getting here, and if you feel the same, now is all that we have worked for,” he told the crowd during the second of two sold-out shows to start the three-week run.For some, it may seem a bit strange seeing an Eddie Vedder-led rock show without his Pearl Jam bandmates.
