Paste Presents: The Pearl Jam Takeover By Paste Staff on September 18, 2009 7:00 AM | Permalink | Comments (0) It's hard to believe that nearly two decades have past since Mookie Blaylock rose from the ashes of Mother Love Bone, quickly (and wisely) changing its name to Pearl Jam shortly thereafter. But since those first shows in 1990, the band has maintained a death-like grip on both its principles and its ability to bring the rock. With a new album due out on Sunday, Paste heads into the weekend with the Pearl Jam Takeover—where its all Pearl Jam, all day long. We review the new album, Backspacer, and talk to its producer, Brendan O'Brien. You can watch the Cameron Crowe-directed video for "The Fixer," take our super-impossible Pearl Jam quiz, read Stone Gossard's answers to our Twitter followers' questions and vote for your favorite Pearl Jam album in our poll. We have tour news, a guide to flannel, some news about Backspacer's cover illustrator, a list of our favorite 25 Pearl Jam tracks, an illustrated guide to help you sing like Eddie Vedder, and much more. So put on a flannel, grab a coffee and slack off like it's 1991.

Ooer. Thank you for this. Although I'd prefer to remember Edward and Billy as pals.

I'd never thought any producer would so blatantly state Eddie is the most talented guy in the band.
That's not exactly what he said, but if it makes you happy.
Actually he did. I mean not exactly as it's not a quote but:

Paste: It sounds like they've settled into a more reasonable and sustainable rhythm, something they can do on their own terms a little bit. O'Brien: Yeah, and they've all grown up a little bit. And I have to say, I believe Eddie's become, he's always been extremely talented and a real force to be around, and he takes the reins a lot of the time, but they all contribute. I would have to say, though, of all the things, Eddie's really settled into his own skin. I'm very proud of him. That's had a lot to do with their resurgence and success these days.

I read the interview before I replied to you. Obviously Eddie is extremely important to Pearl Jam for better or worse, but in no way is BoB comparing Eddie's talent to that of the other band members.

He isn't comparing he throws it in out of the blue. "Extremely talented" speaks for itself IMO.
