I don’t know if it was the first contact, it must have been, was from Jeff. I do remember being a real connection made on the phone. Talking about artwork, how he was into artwork and the responsibilities as a band member and working with people that get that is not is a slacker job, its not a rockstar thing. Is about music, its about art. We had all this things in common which probably why we ended up roommates when we first starting touring. I think that we just connected and became really close. Its amazing now to look back…
Eddie Vedder -
I remember when Ed first came to town. it seem like it was something that he’d kinda been waiting for his whole life and it was obvious within the first few minutes that it was something that I’d been waiting for also.

“When Pearl Jam released [Backspacer], there was an article in a UK magazine that talked about how Kurt didn’t like them, like it still mattered. Like, who fucking cares whether Kurt liked Pearl Jam or not? It made me really upset, because Kurt’s not around to defend himself, but also because that was considered a stamp of approval; that one person’s opinion would matter that much. The next interview I did, I stuck up for Pearl Jam. If there’s one thing at the end of the day that will destroy music, it’s guilt. That guilt that some musicians feel that keeps them from making music, any kind of music - that you could let something so petty get in the way of making something beautiful. It really affected me, because the last time I watched Pearl Jam, I sat on the side of the stage and cried, because I thought, Wow, man. These guys survived. They fucking survived! Out of everybody else, they’re still fucking going. It made me really happy. I texted Eddie later on to tell him that it was an emotional moment for me. They survived, and they survived without the guilt and the shame. They survived on music.”
— Dave Grohl, quoted from “Pearl Jam Twenty” (via lifewasted)
