Pearl Jam Biography |
 |
|
|
Loved by millions, as well as hated by millions for being loved by so many. Considered Seattle sellouts as well as the best band to emerge from the "grunge" scene. Pearl Jam was the biggest rock band in the world. Was. By their avoiding, ignoring, and even fighting many of the various commercial outlets that transformed them into stars, Pearl Jam's once-dedicated fans began losing interest, eventually moving on to the next big thing.
Long before Seattle broke open and "grunge" was born, bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard formed the seminal Seattle punk band Green River (1984); when that group dissolved a couple years later, they started the glam-leaning Mother Love Bone (1988) with singer Andrew Wood. Just before MLB's 1990 debut, Apple, was to be released, Wood died of a drug overdose. (Apple was released in '92 under the title Mother Love Bone.) Devastated, the group disbanded, but Ament and Gossard continued to play together, and in the summer of '90, they began making music with guitarist Mike McCready. Through those early jam sessions, the trio recorded a demo tape that was given to Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons, who passed it along to a fellow surfer, Eddie Vedder, who was singing in a San Diego band. Vedder dubbed his own vocals onto the tape and mailed it back; one trip to Seattle, and Vedder's tremulous scream and troubled-man emotive power became the voice of the band. By fall, with drummer Dave Krusen, they had played their first Seattle gig using the name Mookie Blaylock (some basketball player), recorded a demo, and completed their first West Coast tour as the opening act for Alice In Chains. Although still avid basketball fans (especially Ament), the band changed its name to Pearl Jam.
