I still think 1990 was 10 years ago!
"They lifted the curse"...chills
Vedder, my all time favorite singer. Cuz of the rawness, classyness, power and honesty in his voice, lyrics and demeanors
So many grunge legends have left us. We need to bubble wrap Eddie.
He has specifically and repeatedly said Alive has nothing to do with incest. It's simply about his childhood growing up thinking his step-dad was his actual biological father but later learning his biological father died years earlier when he was very young.
Grunge was all about intense trauma, confusion, and looking for a way out. That's what it was to me.
“When they changed the meaning of those words...they lifted the curse” beautiful hope
This is what is missing in new era music. Emotions.
I turned 17 in 1990, the grunge scene was the beginning of the best 10 years of my life. The 90's were fuckin awesome
He recently told Howard Stern that his biological father was a friend of the family, so he saw him a lot growing up but never knew he was his father. That’s so fucked up to me! Like why not let your son know his dad? I’m just really proud of Eddie for persevering through all that and becoming someone so many of us respect and admire. Alive has saved my life so many times, Stone’s opening chords would literally be the only I felt could help keep me going for another day!
Eddie Vedder was far from "happy-go-lucky". He said it himself.
However, Pearl Jam's "Ten" is one of the only albums ever made that is absolutely perfect. There's not one misstep in that album, the song Arrangement, each song is a gem. Shut all the lights in a room, lay down, throw Pearl Jam's Ten on, listen to it straight through, and it is a life experience. One of the greatest albums ever made.
".. When they changed the meaning of the words, they lifted the curse." wow!
The title has acquired a literal meaning as well, because vedder is one of a few grunge singers that is literally alive. Cobain, weiland, and cornell are not among us any more...
Eddie Vedder is my favorite Vocalist from the Grunge era. His voice always gives me chills
Calling Eddie Vedder "Happy go lucky" at that point in his life is a stretch. I'm a couple months older than he is and had already dealt with alcoholism and rape. I also was a shy Californian surfer just 250 miles up the coast.
Dude... That Black live performance is one of the best song performances ive ever seen... For sure my #1 favorite. Ive lost my younger brother, he killed himself and when i 1st heard that song, i cried right away ;'(
Ten is one of the best rock albums ever. It transcends 'grunge' in the same way pele transcends football or Star Wars transcends space movies. It's outstanding in the truest sense of the word.
To be fair, I think a lot of people misunderstood 'Alive' and 'Black' because we had no idea what the hell Eddie was singing for the most part. Yellow Ledbetter is another good example of this. It's always fun to hear other people's version of the lyrics. I consider myself blessed to have been a teenager during the early 90's. What's really cool is that we understood that this was a special time, especially in the music scene, while it was happening.
