What’s bizarre is that Vedder is one of the very few still alive from that whole scene and era (yeah, pun intended). Cobain. Staley. Cornell. Wood. Lanegan. Hoon. Weiland. Smith… It’s f-ing brutal how many people we lost so prematurely. I can’t think of any other generation that lost as many great musical talents in so untimely a manner😢
Kurt and Eddie were friends. They say and talked at a bar and realized they had a lot in common with each other, and they even talked on the phone every once in awhile
in another interview, or maybe even part of this interview, Kurt says that he really likes Eddie as a person and thinks he's a really nice guy. He also apologized at one point for always bad mouthing Pearl Jam when he realized that it hurt Eddie and he said he wasn't going to do it anymore. both of those interviews clips are on youtube as well.
Been a Nirvana fan as far as I remember myself (since at least 95th), never really liked Pearl Jam. Alice in Chains or Soundgarden - yes. Otherwise I think as Kurt - I don't like their music, that's it.
I think Nirvana and Pearl Jam hit it off really well. They were both great bands with great musicians. They are two bands I admire a lot and I listen to a lot. I hope Pearl Jam still goes on and I'm sad that Kurt Cobain is no longer with us. I miss Nirvana.
@@shasmi93 Young man you're wrong about my age. You should be think that I'm still a little girl. Listen, I was born six years after (1976) the Queen band was founded and at that time I had already heard them since I was born on the radio. All young people from that time until the 90s only listened to Rock. And yes, I grew up with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. At the time I was just a teenager. I spent my entire childhood and youth listening to Rock like those of my generation, so I know what I'm talking about. And by the way, what was the band that never got into drugs? And it wasn't just Rock's Bands. In fact, I also like Alice in Chains and it's not very different from the other two because it's part of the same style - Rock/Grunge. Now I'm the one who says that when you grow up a little more, you'll realize the quality of music that was heard at that time, and that there were many Grunge and Rock bands that you know were founded precisely at a time when you weren't even born yet or were still a little boy. I advise you to hear more about this style and get to know it better.
Alice In Chains is my favorite from the era too. Though I don’t think any of the top bands are better than one another. Alice, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden etc. all were amazing musicians and everyone’s taste is different.
It's always a trip for me to see Pat in the background either with Nirvana or the Foo fighters. We used to hang on the same circuit growing up. It's just a trip to see how far he's gone. Good on you Pat. 😎👍🏼🇺🇲
Kurt may not have liked their band (probably because of how quickly they became popular) but you can't deny Vedder's talent. That man has a great voice.
Considering they were popular in their own right (Obviously) im not sure that’s the best analysis of the situation though anyone’s guess is just that, can only go off interviews and what not but I’d say he’s just being honest lol
He was just joking.... They toured together. Plus, Kurt wasn't an asshole like that. If he liked u, he didn't go talk shit ab ur band!! Notice how he laughed when he said it, bc he knew, it would get back to eddie and the guys... Besides if he actually meant it, he would've worded it differently and not laughed jokingly and smiled as he said it. And, I'm sure the media would've also brought this to our attention way back in the 90s bruv
I disagree, can’t stand his voice (100% personal opinion, he has enough fans who think the opposite) No idea why Kurt (or anyone) should go around saying they like stuff they don’t out of some sort of misguided respect. Saying you don’t like something isn’t disrespectful, pretending to like something is.
@@eugenemartone7023 True, I think Cobain was very overrated and never understood why he had such a large fanbase. To me, his voice wasn't all that great. 🤷♀️

That smile was fire!!!!!! Just like the MTV one... When the guy says MTV sucks.... Kurt said ... Then why are you here...? With that same exact smile! Savage Kurt

Eddie is such a good soul. I like to think that, had Kurt survived just a bit longer, he’d have learned to appreciate his competitors.

I was born in 1971 so growing up in 70's and 80's was awsome and so was music but buy the end of the 80's I was sick of the same stale sounds I like hard rock metal and punk I hated that love ballad crap ..so when 1990 rolled around the music changed grunge music I loved it and I love all the different sounds of the 90's...Kurt Cobain your my elvis and I always remember were I was when it came over the news Kurt was found dead I was getting on the 580 freeway in Livermore cal heading east towards Tracy cal..
No existe nadie q haya superado lo transparente y sincero q era Kurt ❣tímidamente te lo decía ahí va tomalo o déjalo .. bandas cómo NIRVANA PEARL JAM GUNS ROSE música voces totalmente diferentes .. a mí cada una me dió me da lo suyo .. estilos q no se pueden comparar me equivoco ?
Kurt mainly just didn't like how his band was being lumped in together with other bands like Eddie's which were actually very different from one another, due to the corporate slapping the label "grunge" on four bands to sell products. so this was his way of trying to distance himself from that association musically, not an attack personally at the other band members (at least this was never how I interpreted it)
Kurt hated the fact that Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains started off as Glam/Hair bands, the genre that Kurt despised. And when grunge became popular, those two bands started wearing flannel and became grunge.
@@AlecCommentstheInternet Actually they did, well at least Alice in Chains did. Alice in Chains started off as Alice N' Chains as a hair band in the mid to late 80s with Layne Staley as vocals. As for Pearl Jam, Kurt thought they were too corporate to add any value to the grunge scene " “Those bands have been in the hairspray/cockrock scene for years and all of a sudden they stop washing their hair and start wearing flannel shirts. It doesn’t make any sense to me. There are bands moving from L.A. and all over to Seattle and then claim they’ve lived there all their life so they can get record deals. It really offends me.”" - Kurt Cobain, Flipside, 1992
Just because many members had long hair did NOT make them hair bands.......😅 hair bands have a very specific style and aesthetic.... neither A N' C nor Pearl Jam was even close to being a hair band... and GLAM???? What dictionary are you working with?
Mother Love Bone is the closest thing to a hair band to come out of that community and that was ALL Andy, really..... nothing glam or hairspray about either of the bands you mentioned, not from the beginning, regardless of what Kurt said.
Kurt Cobain, in my opinion, was a real pain in the neck. He was always getting into trouble and didn't seem to have much going on upstairs. But, you know, he could write some catchy tunes. I think when we look back on his life, we'll see that the bad stuff he did outweighs the good.
@@rishabhaniket1952 yeah..and the fact that their biggest ever hit (which came 8 years after their debut album in 1999 and went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100) was their cover of Last Kiss, an already terrible sappy overwrought song, is fucking infuriating.
@@AnglephileSwedenGerman Are you sure? Cuz you seem pretty desperate for others to think you're cool. It sounds like you really want to be cool like your boy Cobain... And you want people to be impressed because you have the "balls" to hate a song that most other people recognize as being a great song.
La bronca era porque Cobain consideraba como "posers" ú oportunistas a los miembros de bandas como Pearl Jam ó AIC, ya que él decía que sólo se aprovechaban del boom del movimiento grunge para hacer dinero y ganar fama, siendo que muchas bandas grunge eran anteriormente del palo del glam metal y sonidos similares. Saludos.
When I was a teenager I used to love Nirvana, they were my favorite band and I listening them all the time. Now, at my 22, I prefer Pearl Jam...I guess it's because I am less angry with the world...
So much of this has to do with Mark Arm telling Kurt Cobain about things Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament did or the way they were in Green River. He, like many others, thought they were careerists and were sellouts to their own sound looking to get record deals. Jeff Ament introduced himself to Kurt Cobain and he laughed him off and Ament said, " he wasn't having it." It was all over "selling out" It's in the book Everybody Loves Our Town by Mark Yarm. (Not Mark Arm)
That’s the problem, if ppl were honest, they’re not always going to like the bands of ppl they like.., but because music is very personal to ppl, many can’t handle that and see it as a criticism of their personhood
@@mozdaboz it's a play on words. "Ohh, I I I , I'm still Alive! Ohhhhhhh I, IIIII, I I'm still alive! ..." (Its a pearl jam song - maybe youve heard of it... ?) → but also a rejoinder to the endless petulance from Kurt, about every cool band he thought he was "too cool" for. There's some irony, for sure...
From what I've gathered, Kurt's problem was that all of these hair-glam metal bands started wearing flannel, stopped washing their hair, make their music sound "grungy", then started acting like they were Washington born-and-raised. There's truth to it: *PJ was comprised of Vedder (San Diego surfer who sure did a lot of interviews he seemed to hate doing), Stone and Ament (who were focused on "making it"; caused the breakup of Green River and were in MotherLoveBone, who was a pseudo-glam band). *Alice in Chains was initially a glam band, formed from other glam bands, who were put together when, as drummer Sean Kinney put in the VH1 doc, "they took sorta-ok looking boys who could play, dressed us up in flannel ... 'the statue's up and the story is told!'"
@@lueysixty-six7300 “The difference between style and fashion is that style will last a lot longer than fashion. Fashion is used to discredit what you already have so you can go out and buy something new.” Kurt acted a bit snobbish, sure, but the difference between what's genuine vs what's fashionable is seen in cultural impact. Nirvana never tried to be popular, they didn't have to try. They just were. "Grunge" died with Kurt, even when all of these "grunge" bands kept playing. Now AiC is like the 80s bands still touring, PJ has become the grunge version of the Grateful Dead, and everyone else is either dead or in no-name solo projects.
@@lueysixty-six7300Kurt Cobain was authentic and appreciated artists such as Mudhoney, Sonic Youth and The Vaselines. He looked down on commercial bands such as Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains because he didn't see them as authentic and it makes total sense from his part.
Surely, that old jealousy has been water under the bridge since at least 1994...but to quote Eddie Vedder ~ "Oh I, oh, I'm still alive Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive Hey I, oh, I'm still alive..."
Kurt Cobain: There band just sucks (Pearl Jam) Also, Kurt Cobain: " _I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it_ " 🤡🤡🤡 talking to Rolling Stone's David Fricke in 1994 about recording their breakthrough album “Nevermind”
@@aarongarcia4381it was too commercial for his taste, you ppl should really open your horizons and listen to stuff like Mudhoney, Sonic Youth and The Vaselines.
_Jeremy_ gave me the motivation to kill myself. I just wanted to smoke a joint first and then shoot me in the mouth. But then I forgot my plan and ate candy instead. I just never finish things! It really sucks... 😩
Funny how PJ or AIC fans (I like both bands by the way) always use the "but they're much more complex than Nirvana" argument, even though Grunge originally wasn't about having the most complex and technical sound.
Love Kurt..but he was a slight Hipster. If Pearl Jam didn't "make it big?" All these pretentious hipsters who "say they hate Pearl Jam?" Omg! PeArl JaM would be thier GODS!

He was competitive and/or or didn't like quality classic rock. Was he a punk snob?
They from envy and being protective of their spot in the pecking order. Kurt was feeling the pressure.
How is someone born so perfect?
He was "tortured" mentality tho, it's one of his flaws and I'm sure it wasn't so fun being him.
He was far from perfect
Kurt's words on Pearl Jam always had an even flow to them.
I love that shit,Such honesty, pay it forward 😁💯
i watched it like a hundred times and laughed my ass off a hundred times hahaha so flippin funny
Kurt Cobain Great comedian 😁
No existe nadie q haya superado lo transparente y sincero q era Kurt ❣tímidamente te lo decía ahí va tomalo o déjalo .. bandas cómo NIRVANA PEARL JAM GUNS ROSE música voces totalmente diferentes .. a mí cada una me dió me da lo suyo .. estilos q no se pueden comparar me equivoco ?
Missing you Kurt!
No one gonna mention even flow being whistled in the background?
Bro!!!!! Nice catch !!!! I love it!
It's mentioned in at least 3 replies ☝️
@@tiley996 good for you?
Nope. Not one time. You were the o lt one who heard it, AND said something about it!!!
@@cateatfood6634 ok calm down. Relax
Getting Smear was like a badge of legitimacy for them but to him….it was just like hitting the lotto
Both Amazing bands
I had a cd called Squirrel Jam once, all the song names were twists with the squirrel theme
That made Kurt chuckle 😆
Kurt doing an Oasis style diss lol 😂
Que es Oasis
Champagne supernova
@@JulioCesar-in8ojA bag of shit brit pop band
Grunge and music during that time wasnt personal. It was about the music. Musicians could be totally cool man to man but dislike each others music.
Kurt mainly just didn't like how his band was being lumped in together with other bands like Eddie's which were actually very different from one another, due to the corporate slapping the label "grunge" on four bands to sell products. so this was his way of trying to distance himself from that association musically, not an attack personally at the other band members (at least this was never how I interpreted it)
Me too Kurt. Me too.
After their first album I never cared about PJam again. Kurt's right

Me too, Kurt. Me too.
Kurt hated the fact that Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains started off as Glam/Hair bands, the genre that Kurt despised. And when grunge became popular, those two bands started wearing flannel and became grunge.
neither of those bands started as glam hair bands
@@AlecCommentstheInternet Actually they did, well at least Alice in Chains did. Alice in Chains started off as Alice N' Chains as a hair band in the mid to late 80s with Layne Staley as vocals. As for Pearl Jam, Kurt thought they were too corporate to add any value to the grunge scene
"
“Those bands have been in the hairspray/cockrock scene for years and all of a sudden they stop washing their hair and start wearing flannel shirts. It doesn’t make any sense to me. There are bands moving from L.A. and all over to Seattle and then claim they’ve lived there all their life so they can get record deals. It really offends me.”" - Kurt Cobain, Flipside, 1992
If they started being glam or not shouldn't matter as long as they make great music
Just because many members had long hair did NOT make them hair bands.......😅 hair bands have a very specific style and aesthetic.... neither A N' C nor Pearl Jam was even close to being a hair band... and GLAM???? What dictionary are you working with?
Mother Love Bone is the closest thing to a hair band to come out of that community and that was ALL Andy, really..... nothing glam or hairspray about either of the bands you mentioned, not from the beginning, regardless of what Kurt said.
Kurt Cobain, in my opinion, was a real pain in the neck. He was always getting into trouble and didn't seem to have much going on upstairs. But, you know, he could write some catchy tunes. I think when we look back on his life, we'll see that the bad stuff he did outweighs the good.
Pearl Jam is introvert grunge, Nirvana is extrovert grunge
The other way around.
Pearl Jam is a schmaltzy baritone cry fest guised as grunge. One of the most bland, derivative and boring bands who confusingly became successful.
@@rishabhaniket1952 yeah..and the fact that their biggest ever hit (which came 8 years after their debut album in 1999 and went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100) was their cover of Last Kiss, an already terrible sappy overwrought song, is fucking infuriating.
Pearl Jam is arena rock, nirvana is punk rock
@@rishabhaniket1952 PJ are serious but never whiney like the other three big bands, you got that backwards.
Grunge did not beef... they knew who the voice of the time was. and the old Rckers let them Sing...
Imagine hating Jeremy... I think this hate is rooted in envy.
Can't stand Jeremy
@@AnglephileSwedenGerman Wow you're cool.
@@chrisdriver7776 thanks but I didn't need to be told I'm cool from anyone especially ppl on the internet chump
@@AnglephileSwedenGerman Are you sure? Cuz you seem pretty desperate for others to think you're cool. It sounds like you really want to be cool like your boy Cobain... And you want people to be impressed because you have the "balls" to hate a song that most other people recognize as being a great song.
Team Nirvana forever, Pearl Jam is safe and soft.
La bronca era porque Cobain consideraba como "posers" ú oportunistas a los miembros de bandas como Pearl Jam ó AIC, ya que él decía que sólo se aprovechaban del boom del movimiento grunge para hacer dinero y ganar fama, siendo que muchas bandas grunge eran anteriormente del palo del glam metal y sonidos similares. Saludos.
When I was a teenager I used to love Nirvana, they were my favorite band and I listening them all the time. Now, at my 22, I prefer Pearl Jam...I guess it's because I am less angry with the world...
Kurt was always so chill.
“I just hate his technically superior band and consistently hooky, accessible rock songs.”
In some ways superior, but most songs are about as coherent as Scentless Apprentice lol
🎯🤣
You don't need to love each others art to be friends. In fact, it's the opposite.
And after that, Eddie wrote the lyrics:
“I, know, I’m still alive.”
Sick burn Eddie… sick burn
Eddie made those lyrics before he was in pearl Jam
Check out
Pearl Jam - Momma-Son (demo)
LOL
Boy was I lucky..
Born in 77.
Went HS 1991-95..
Had all these amazing rock bands and Hip Hop music competition
Hey, man, nice shot. Good shot, man.
Very diplomatic kurt!
Love ya Kurt, but I love Nirvana AND Pearl Jam. RiP
Great clip I love it. Thanks!
So much of this has to do with Mark Arm telling Kurt Cobain about things Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament did or the way they were in Green River. He, like many others, thought they were careerists and were sellouts to their own sound looking to get record deals. Jeff Ament introduced himself to Kurt Cobain and he laughed him off and Ament said, " he wasn't having it." It was all over "selling out" It's in the book Everybody Loves Our Town by Mark Yarm. (Not Mark Arm)
Mark Arm is the bitchy queen of the grunge scene. He is still so bitter.
That’s the problem, if ppl were honest, they’re not always going to like the bands of ppl they like.., but because music is very personal to ppl, many can’t handle that and see it as a criticism of their personhood
Kurt Cobain: 1967-94
Eddie Vedder: 1964- *still alive...*
So?
@@mozdaboz it's a play on words.
"Ohh, I I I , I'm still Alive!
Ohhhhhhh I, IIIII, I I'm still alive! ..."
(Its a pearl jam song - maybe youve heard of it... ?)
→ but also a rejoinder to the endless petulance from Kurt, about every cool band he thought he was "too cool" for.
There's some irony, for sure...
I enjoy both bands.
I think Pearl Jam was just a too-sanitized version of grunge for Cobain. And maybe I agree.
Who cares about the grunge label. It was good music
@@jd0879 I never said it wasn’t good.
@@carlbaumeister3439 Sanitized? They had more adult music then any of those other bands, all with youthful exuberance.
Yeah, well I love both bands. So there.
I hated to love Pearl Jam, too. I couldn't help it..."Oh, I...I, oh, I'm still alive!" Sorry.
Yep Eddie's alive and this train wreck of human isn't 😂😂
If i remember correctly, kurt just hated that they were all jocks in high-school but didn't hate them personally or their music
Hilarious 😂 miss him.
Jealousy is a hell of a thing.
Kurt said he wanted fun music like Van Halen mixed with serious music like REM…. I wonder at what point in career he was asked this question
Kurt actually said when they finally met face to face. They hit it off as like I had always known each other
From what I've gathered, Kurt's problem was that all of these hair-glam metal bands started wearing flannel, stopped washing their hair, make their music sound "grungy", then started acting like they were Washington born-and-raised.
There's truth to it:
*PJ was comprised of Vedder (San Diego surfer who sure did a lot of interviews he seemed to hate doing), Stone and Ament (who were focused on "making it"; caused the breakup of Green River and were in MotherLoveBone, who was a pseudo-glam band).
*Alice in Chains was initially a glam band, formed from other glam bands, who were put together when, as drummer Sean Kinney put in the VH1 doc, "they took sorta-ok looking boys who could play, dressed us up in flannel ... 'the statue's up and the story is told!'"
So what tho..?? So, fashion was changing.. yeah, that happens. Cobain was just an insufferable snob...he looked down on every ©μnt, from his lofty perch in the gutter.
@@lueysixty-six7300 “The difference between style and fashion is that style will last a lot longer than fashion. Fashion is used to discredit what you already have so you can go out and buy something new.” Kurt acted a bit snobbish, sure, but the difference between what's genuine vs what's fashionable is seen in cultural impact. Nirvana never tried to be popular, they didn't have to try. They just were. "Grunge" died with Kurt, even when all of these "grunge" bands kept playing. Now AiC is like the 80s bands still touring, PJ has become the grunge version of the Grateful Dead, and everyone else is either dead or in no-name solo projects.
@@Commonwealth96 you're wrong... Cobain was looking for fame and money when making music
@@lueysixty-six7300Kurt Cobain was authentic and appreciated artists such as Mudhoney, Sonic Youth and The Vaselines. He looked down on commercial bands such as Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains because he didn't see them as authentic and it makes total sense from his part.
Surely, that old jealousy has been water under the bridge since at least 1994...but to quote Eddie Vedder ~
"Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive..."
Assuming Kurt was referring to Mother Love Bone, then, yeah…Kurt was not a fan.
Eddie wasn't in that
@@brentleycraft no but PJ was formed from the members of MLB after andy died.
I think it was a fun rivalry and their “hate” also sparked competition and interest which helped both bands!
Kurt Cobain: There band just sucks (Pearl Jam)
Also, Kurt Cobain: " _I was trying to write the ultimate pop song. I was basically trying to rip off the Pixies. I have to admit it_ " 🤡🤡🤡 talking to Rolling Stone's David Fricke in 1994 about recording their breakthrough album “Nevermind”
Pearl Jam > Alice iN Chains > Nirvana > Soundgarden
I like more Aic('90's) songs than PJ's .
I Love NIRVANA, SOUNDGARDEN,TEMPLE,CHAINS. I Never Cared For PEARL JAM.
He don't like the music of Pearl Jam, and thats fine 👌
Not at all.... Pearl jam debut CD was fantastic
@@aarongarcia4381it was too commercial for his taste, you ppl should really open your horizons and listen to stuff like Mudhoney, Sonic Youth and The Vaselines.
Kurt liked Soundgarden, Tad and Mudhoney. He despised PJ & AIC.
Totally agree!! All their songs put me to sleep, they just don’t have any spark or spunk to them.
Daughter, Even Flow, Jeremy, Old Lady Behind...
_Jeremy_ gave me the motivation to kill myself. I just wanted to smoke a joint first and then shoot me in the mouth. But then I forgot my plan and ate candy instead. I just never finish things! It really sucks... 😩
Once and Why go, no spark? Mkay. Just say your ear doesn't like them.
I love pearl jam 👍🏼🏴
I wonder if Kurt ever realized how "their band" was much better and more complexy than Nirvana?
Funny how PJ or AIC fans (I like both bands by the way) always use the "but they're much more complex than Nirvana" argument, even though Grunge originally wasn't about having the most complex and technical sound.
@@briantcideu8619 Ok, so nirvana is "grunger" than the others... whatever. 🫠
@@vinsuici Mudhoney is even grungier I guess, but yeah whatever, sorry if I sounded like an asshole.
@@briantcideu8619 I guess it is. 😅 Don't worry, you didn't at all. 🤘🎅🏼

I lived through this era in Seattle, he wasn’t alone in this sentiment.
