Pearl Jam

Now this peculiar band has been a big hit during the 1990's and even today you might hear about them if you go to any local guitar shop. They are in the grunge type of rock and from the magasine " US Today" is quoted as they are consisted of  Eddie Vedder that sings, plays the harmonica, the ukelele and the rythm guitar. Mike McCready who plays the lead guitar, Jeff Ament for basse, Matt Cameron as drummer and Stone Gossard as another Rythmic guitarist. Personally they are a great band to listen to since they are mostly open to most ideas and they basically help out one another with writting lyrics for thier songs. Now from Wikipedea, it sais that their were four other members that were part of the group for a certain time. It was four different drummers first off is Dave Krusen in 1991, then Matt Chamberlain in 1991, followed by Dave Abruzzese in 1994 and finally Jack Irons in 1998. They started with Ament and Grossard who were in their own band called "Mudhoney" until Andrew Wood joined and they renamed the band as "Mother Love Bone" until Wood dies of a drug overdose before the release of they're first album "Apple". To honour his death, Chris Cornell from "Soundgarden " and made an abulm with the rest of the group. Now back to Pearl jam itself. The name was inspired by the story of Eddie's great grandmother named "Pearl" and one "Jam" came from the inspiring Neil Young who played "Jams" of ten to twenty minutes long. And now they still play to this day to show some of their great hits. Here is "Last Kiss" from Pearl Jam to you.
