Pearl Jam as a Counter-cultural Band The early '
90 s alt-rock rebellion, which spewed from the
underground like a geyser and saved rock-n-roll

abuse death are as much a legacy of that dramatic
period as the music. Pearl Jam is still standing -
arguably the only band from the age that still
matters. "I'm totally excited about still being
around, " said Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready.

most popular so called underground band of all
time. This band has underwent many changes, some
good and others bad throughout their thirty or so

that has remained together for thirty plus years
isnt as easy as many would assume. In fact I would
have to say the down times in the band almost
equal the outrageously great time they had.
Despite all the down times the amazing music of
the Grateful Dea...

Who is the Dave Matthews Band? Five years ago that
question would have gotten nothing more than a
weird stare and a stupid look. But today you would
get everything but that. The Dave Matthews Band is

time. Many come to wonder if it was their music,
their look, or possibly something else that has
made the Dave Matthews Band what they are today.

but also to the fact that he has extended the
boundaries of jazz more than any other musician,
without abandoning the true essence of the music.

massive and challenging legacy in composition and
performance. Edward Kennedy D...

Five Against the World There are two Eddie
Vedder's. One is quiet, shy, barely audible when
he speaks. Loving and loved in return. The other
is tortured, a bitter realist, a man capable of
pointing out injustice and waging that war on the
homefront, inside himself. On a warm and windy
late-spring day in the San Rafael, Calif. , its
easy to see which Eddie Vedder is shooting baskets
outside the Site, the recording studio where Pearl
Jam are finishing their second album. It is

This is Spinal Tap While attempting to be nothing
more than a comical spoof of the music industry,

stereotypes presented by this fictitious band that
ended up being more real than any other legitimate
bands of the time. The days of disco had long
faded by the 1984 re...
