    I wouldn't consider it overnight success since they've all be in
    different bands prior to their current incarnation.  They've all been
    slogging away since about '85 - '86.  Yes, Eddie Vedder has a great
    voice, a very distinctive style.  Check out their Unplugged MTV half
    hour for an incredible version of "Black".  
    

    Anyone else notice that Eddie Vedder looks more vexed trying not to say
    the word f**k in MTV performaces than the censors would if he'd said
    it?  As overplayed as some of the cuts on "Ten" are, I still love them
    just as much.  As far as I can tell (or am concerned) there isn't a bad
    track on the disc, and things only get better live.  I've only seen
    them twice, once opening for the Chili Peppers, and once at
    Lollapalooza, but those are two of the best shows I've seen.  It will
    be interesting to see what they come up with next after such a solid
    album.  You know what they say about the record industry, you've got
    your entire life to come up with the first album, but only 6 months to
    come up with the second.

    Yes, this is a GREAT disc. Every song is cool. Does anyone know
    if they tour at all? I would like to see them. Not having cable
    or MTV, I don't get to see many videos. Have they done any? Are
    there any concert vids of their's out? Black is my favorite off 
    the disc...my .02$ too...

    According to my daughter they're supposed to come to UNH this
    summer. UNH= university of new hampshire. she was at lollapalooza
    too...said they were awesome

    They have videos out for "Alive", "Even Flow", "Black", and "Jeremy",
    so far that I have seen.  I agree, not a bad song on the disc, so I
    won't try to choose a favorite.  I suspect they're pretty much always
    touring.  I haven't seen them around Boston since Lolapallooza '92, but
    I know they were in NYC for New Year's eve.  If I had to guess, I might
    say they'd be working on a new album, but who knows??  If you can get
    to see them, GO!!  No matter what.  One of the best, most high
    intensity shows I've seen.

      I was over in the states for most of March, and I read an article in some
magazine that the lads were working on their second album. They also toured
Europe last year, I didn't go see them... I had no idea at the time who they
were and what kind of music they played. Iam sure I'll get to see them soon, but
first up its the Boss in Munich May 14th followed by U2 June 4th same place just
outdoors......

                                                        all the best.....

So, um, what did people think of Eddie Vedder's performance last
night on the MTV music awards?

    Don't know about Eddie Vedder, but Neil Young sure gave
    them a lesson in how to play guitar.  Man, did he blow those
    guys away when he joined them on stage!  Highlight of the nigt
    for me!!

    Eddie Seemed very With_Drawn Into Him_Self...and not Wantin to be
    there.
    
    As for the MEDIA Be_Stowin the Crown of"Grand_Father_Of_Grunge"to
    Niel Young...All Concerned now that its A_Joke(My_Son).
    
    And John,If you get off on "Over_Amplie_Fryied,7_Note_Solo's,with a
    Twisted_Whammy"...I'll play you A_Solo..with a Hat Out_In_Front_Of_Me
    For Change.

    Eddie did seem "out of it" during the performances. I thought I saw
    him grab a bottle after the Neil Young set. During the post show on
    MTV, Eddie made a complete ass of himself (IMHO), it even appeared as
    thought his band mates were embarrased for him.
    	Before I get jumped on I LIKE Pearl Jam, and do not have an axe
    to grind with him or his behavior, to each their own. I also thought
    MTV's Kurt Loder (sp), and the whole post-show was a waste, again 
    nothing against MTV, to each their own. 
	I did not see the whole show, however, I did tape it. Neil Young 
    did put on a great show (IMHO), he really seemed like he was having 
    a GREAT time, unlike some of the other performers.

    Is Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder the 90's version of Jim Morrison? Both
    are/were rather unique lyrists. IMHO. Both are/were members of well
    known bands, also rather good bands -- again IMHO. And Eddie seems
    to be getting similar press treatment to what Morrison received. And
    lastly they seem to have similar "characters" on and off stage.

     Eddie Vedder seems to be on that same "death trip" that Morrison
    was on....

    Eddie is on the cover of Time magazine this week (I don't think he's
    real comfortable with that given some of his quotes in the article).
    The article is quite good, sheds a lot of light on the so-called
    alternative rock movement (But, it's still rock and roll to me).
    
    

    I know someone who is looking for a ticket to the show at the Boston
    Garden on Sunday.  Does anybody have an extra they'd like to sell, or
    know of anybody who might?

    Any views on their new album VS. I found it a drowner.

         I think the 10 lp is definately a better album, but I like the
     2nd effort a lot too. It's heavy, with a taste of funk. I think my
     fave off that album is Rats. Cool bass...Actualy, a lot of cool
     bass...  Just my o..

    >     fave off that album is Rats. Cool bass...
    
    Yet pretty derivative of more than a few other tunes.
    
    I think Vs. is a lot more pop than 10.  In the grunge war, I had to
    give Pearl Jam the nod over Nirvana with "Ten," but Nirvana kept more
    with the program on the next releases.
    
    I guess I like Rearview Mirror best, but I wish Crazy Mary was on
    VS.
