Next to him is Mike McCready, the incendiary guitar hero, ripping licks and burning solos. Pearl Jam fans are usually members of the 'Ten Club' named after the bands debut album 'Ten'. See wikipedia for additional info about other band members. Out front you have Eddie Vedder, the crooning, wild, and wine-swigging Dionysus crafting the setlists and operating as the master of ceremonies and chief focal point. Of course were talking about the best band from the 1990s featuring Eddie Vedder, Mike McCready, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, and Matt Cameron. They each adopted loosely defined personas for themselves that they still wear today. A ticket to see Pearl Jam is a near guarantee that you’re about to witness something truly extraordinary.įrom the very beginning, it was apparent that the band had a visible, natural chemistry and rapport onstage.

Most of the songs began as instrumental jams, to which Vedder added lyrics about topics such as depression, homelessness, and abuse. Following the disbanding of bassist Jeff Ament and guitarist Stone Gossard's previous group Mother Love Bone, the two recruited vocalist Eddie Vedder, guitarist Mike McCready, and drummer Dave Krusen to form Pearl Jam in 1990.
