Backstage at the 1992 MTV Music Video awards was a dramatic representation of the epic sea-changEnecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar RUBBER MATS systems,e happening in music and pop culture. Wilson Phillips dallied around with Boyz II Men while a few feet away Axl Rose paced anxiously in circles, strategizing how his band-of-excess Guns N' Roses could recover from the behemoth of…the two guys slow dancing together in the corner? It's widely known that Nirvana and Pearl Jam were at odds with each other in the early 90s; Kurt Cobain calling out Pearl Jam for being too commercial-sounding to be truly "Alternative," leaving Eddie Vedder, too reverential and humble to snap back, to simply take the criticism. What is little known is that, at the height of their so-called "feud," Kurt grabbed Eddie backstage at the VMAs and the two slow danced together, laughing their asses off.
They later embraced, in a warm significant hug. Kurt smiled, mischievously putting his finger to his lips in a "tell no one" expression, Eddie applauding in humorous approval. It's only seen for a few fleeting seconds, but it is the single most touching moment in PJ20 (Pearl Jam Twenty), a new feature-length documentary that deftly captures a band that literally had the entire world in the palm of their hand, walked away from it, and continued to endure like no other rock band in recent history.
It began out of inconceivable loss. Andrew Wood, the brightest singing light of love and joy in the Seattle music scene, tragically died of a drug overdose in 1989, reducing his band Mother Love Bone, once on the verge of success, to stare down into the deep abyss of the unknown. In a nascent-Nirvana 1989 Seattle, Mother Love Bone was tapped to be the breakout success of the scene, due in no small part to Andy Wood. Recalling Wood's death, Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell is brought to tears thinking about his best friend's last painful days. "For all of us, it was the end of innocence," he pushes out through a shaky, distraught voice.
"It's just so hard to articulate." Wood's absence left a deep hole in the Seattle scene and for a band that was destined to become the second coming of Queen, they could only assume that this was the end.Initially the banks didn't want our chicken coop . Mother Love Bone's second coming, however, ended up appearing fresh off a fifteen foot swell of prime San Diego surf, from the deep baritone of a California boy named Eddie.the Bedding by special invited artist for 2011,
This is the way in which Pearl Jam was conceived.then used cut pieces of impact socket garden hose to get through the electric fence. An instrumental demo tape hot-potatoed from musician to musician until it ended up in the capable hands of Eddie Vedder. A stroke of creative genius, a flight to Seattle, lightning in a bottle. Their ensuing success is well documented and well known; turning their backs to infinitely rising success, fighting Ticketmaster, stepping away from their record label. But it has never been told from the perspective of the band. This is the rocket fuel behind PJ20, piloted with finesse by Cameron Crowe, longtime friend and creative confidant of the band.
Crowe's ties to Pearl Jam date back to late 1991 when he was in Seattle shooting his second film, the under-appreciated Singles and asked them if they wanted to cameo in the movie.Traditional China Porcelain tile claim to clean all the air in a room. The impetus for the film was his unyielding love for the music coming out of Seattle at the time and wanting to incorporate that scene into a narrative. The band at the time were still on the verge and as such, their skills outside acting were used to carry cable, clean sets, and roadie out equipment.
It would be a bonding experience between band and director that would stand the test of time, Cameron returning to the band over the years to interview them for various news outlets and building a personal relationship with all of them outside of work. Off the back of his long time friendship with Pearl Jam, the band went to him to assemble a documentary that would tell their twenty year story in their own words.
