Classic Rock Magazine: 30 Years of Pearl Jam, and the Seven Weeks That Saved Rock
[ad_1]
Thirty years later, the story of Pearl Jam is one of fame, fortune, struggling to stay in control of one’s career, destiny and integrity, and having to suffer more than its fair share of tragedy. It’s a story we tell in the new issue of Classic rock. âWe have always looked out for each other,â says Eddie Vedder. That’s what kept them going.
Also in this issue: Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready looks back on the band’s classic debut album Ten.
The new number of Classic rock is on sale now.
