INFO AND BACKGROUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pearl Jam are a rock band considered one of the most popular and influential artists of their decade, they are considered one the Big Four of grunge music(alongside Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Soundgarden). Although they moved further away from the grunge sound in time, their newest album, Pearl Jam, delivers a sound reminiscent of their early days. Pearl Jam are also one of the few mainstream alternative rock bands that has remained active since the atrophy of their contemporaries. Currently, the group boasts a large fan base which contributes to making the band one of the most popular live acts in the world.
Since the release of their latest self titled album 'Pearl Jam', dozens of positive and excellent reviews have been flowing in, albums selling like hotcakes, and people saying it's their best work ever, which the band members also believe. Many believe they are the greatest live act to go see today, always putting on an awesome show for their fans, many a time going over curfew and delivering upto and more than 30 songs a show, with each show a different setlist. And the crowd loves it. Who wouldn't though, you have one of the greatest voices of all time, the BEST lead guitarist in a band still making music today, and Matt Cameron on the drums (formerly of soundgarden)
brief timeline history
1991 - band formed, named themselves pearl jam after lead singer eddie vedders grandmother Pearl used to make them a special old halluciogenic recipe Indian jam which would get them high and see things
1992 - after the hits Alive and Evenflow the band become massive
1993 - the band records their second album VS. in the first week it breaks the record for amount of albums sold in opening week, a record that would still hold to this day if backstreet boys did not beat it a few years ago
1994 - pearl jam hate how popular they have become and see it will eventually tear them apart. they announce no more press coverage, interviews etc, and no film clips or singles, only albums.
1995 - the band are sick of high ticket prices from ticket empire ticketmaster and take them on in court to try lower ticket prices for fans. massive controvery and press, they eventually lose the case costing them thousands but they don't mind. they vow to never do ticketmaster shows again. also lead gutarise mike McCready is booked into rehab for his drug additction
1995-2005 - they record anther 5 albums, change style from grunge to rock after the death of Kurt Kobain in late 94. last time they toured australia was 2003
2006 - new self titled album 'Pearl Jam' is realeased. All majour reviews say it is absoultely brilliant, their best work ever!
