Get ready to rock because Eddie Vedder, the lead singer of the legendary grunge band Pearl Jam, has an awesome connection with Bad Religion! Before Pearl Jam even existed, Eddie used to sneak backstage at Bad Religion shows in San Diego just to meet the band. And guess what? It worked! They became friends and even opened for Pearl Jam during their European tour in the early nineties.
But the fun doesn’t stop there. Eddie and Jay, the bassist for Bad Religion, had a hilarious competition on stage. They both tried to out-punk each other, but Jay had a little mishap when his bass strap broke and his guitar went flying across the stage. Eddie couldn’t help but declare Jay the winner.
And get this, Greg from Bad Religion wants to record a whole album with Eddie someday. They want to create something extraordinary and amazing.
Oh, and did I mention that Eddie even wore a Bad Religion T-shirt in an early promo photo of Pearl Jam? Talk about showing some love for his favorite band.
But the collaboration doesn’t end there. Eddie lent his vocals to two Bad Religion songs, “American Jesus” and “Watch It Die.” They invited him to the studio while they were recording and he jumped right in.
And the excitement continued when Eddie and Greg sang “Watch It Die” together on stage in Philadelphia. What a memorable moment!
So there you have it, Eddie Vedder and Bad Religion have a rockin’ connection that spans from sneaking backstage to rocking out on stage together. It’s a match made in grunge heaven!
