How do you know the techno music is bad?
From Brian Hiatt's article "The Second Coming of Pearl Jam," Rolling Stone, June 2006:
Eddie vedder is trying to get me drunk. We're in his hotel suite after the Cleveland show. He pops open a Bud with his lighter and hands it to me -- before I'm done with it, he'll try to hand me another one. Vedder has already chugged a bottle of red wine onstage, as usual, so he drinks more slowly now, nursing a Coors.
"I've actually tried to play a few shows without drinking," he says of his wine habit later that night. "But you know how bartenders sneak a drink in here and there, but the busboys can't? I felt more like the busboy -- that I was just working." Vedder used to smoke pot with some frequency, but he hasn't touched it since his daughter's birth. He also had "an Ecstasy phase" at some point and even tried recording some techno. "I was listening to all this stuff on Ecstasy. But I was wondering, 'Are they writing it on Ecstasy?' I decided that the pure way to do it is to actually take Ecstasy, and then write Ecstasy music," he says, laughing. "That didn't work out. But I enjoyed the Ecstasy."
The fact that he openly says he wrote while high but that the music never panned out implies that it wasn't any good.

Does it say anywhere in the article when he was taking the ecstasy? Where am I getting this in the year 2000?

I also thought it was around 2000-2002, but there's no mention of a date in the article.

I wonder why we both think that was the time period. I don't remember hearing about ed and ecstasy in more than 1 article.
