Where did pearl jam get their name from? I know they were close to signing as Mookie Blaylock but whats the story with the name pearl jam?

[Lady Livin]

It's from this jam Eddie's grandmother made that had hallucinogenic incredients. "Pearl's jam."

[GNFNRS]

There are a bunch of stories going around about the name but they have said the hallucinogenic jam story is not true.

I believe you, but I have read articles about them since that said that was only a joke.  Wherever the fuck they got their name, they sure are a kick-ass band.

I heard on the radio this morning (Jan 28 2005) that Peter Frampton will be a guest on the next Pearl Jam album which will be an instrumental.

The radio guy said that this is the seventh sign of the apocalypse.?

[oneway23]

Gypsy, it was that peter frampton was recording for an album of instrumentals HE's recording and asked them to help out and record w/ him...He WILL NOT be on their album...Hope I cleared things up for you...
By the way, new update on the new record from Billboard: sorry if it's been posted..Seems they're taking their time in order to craft a better record.

Pearl Jam In No Rush In The Studio

Pearl Jam has begun work on its eighth studio album in its Seattle homebase. "We're recording but not really putting any pressure for something to actually come out of it," frontman Eddie Vedder told former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones on his Friday radio show, Jonesy's Jukebox, which emanates from Los Angeles radio station KDLD-FM (Indie 103.1).

Asked if he still enjoys the recording process after 15 years of making music with Pearl Jam, Vedder answered, "Depends [on] what day it is or how much sleep you've had. We've been getting together as a whole group, all five [members], for five days a week. Actually, seven days -- that was one of the problems. I think we're going to slow it down a little bit and we'll get something down in February."

Vedder acknowledged it had taken some time for band members to get back in the swing of things after several months apart from one another. "You get together as a band and you want to push yourselves harder or get some place you've never been before, and there's work to get there," he said. "The length of time you all have to be communicating; when you're not working, you don't have to communicate at all, and you get spoiled and quiet."

"Even close-knit bands like Fugazi, [which seems] like a four-headed monster, are [made up of] four completely different individuals," Vedder continued. "They seem like a gang, but it's a gang made up of individuals. It's not as easy as you would think."

The as-yet-untitled album will be the follow-up to 2002's "Riot Act" and Pearl Jam's first since leaving longtime label Epic last year. The band's official Web site previously confirmed the set would be released "on the BMG label" but did not reveal specifics of the new arrangement.

Band members have also been at work on other endeavors. Guitarist Stone Gossard is making a new album with his Brad side project, while drummer Matt Cameron has completed the first new album since 1993 with the band Hater, which features his ex-Soundgarden colleague Ben Shepherd on bass and guitarist John McBain, his longtime collaborator in Wellwater Conspiracy.

As previously reported, bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Mike McCready can be heard as part of an as-yet-unnamed project with King's X leader Doug Pinnick, but no release date has been announced for the completed album, tentatively titled "Montana."

PETER?S JAM SESSION
Who says the Vote for Change tour didn?t change the world as we know it?? Peter Frampton, who played in the battleground state of Ohio with Pearl Jam at the get-out-the vote concert series, says he is planning to record a track with the band for his upcoming album of instrumentals.

Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder did some songs with a pakistani quawali singer called Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, has anybody heard these songs? r they any good? and what album r they on?

[jarmo]

They're on the Dead Man Walking soundtrack.

The tracks are "Face Of Love" and "Long Road".


They don't sound like your typical PJ songs.
