Pearl Jam Vinyl & Band FAQs
What does Pearl Jam mean?
There are many different stories of this meaning, but frontman Eddie Vedder defines Pearl Jam as the creative conflict that turns the grain of sand in an oyster into a jewel. You know, like a pearl.
How did Pearl Jam get their name?
This is a good story. The band Pearl Jam originally named itself after which NBA basketball player? Well, the answer to that is Mookie Blaylock. Yes, Pearl Jam was originally named Mookie Blaylock. (This is also why the first Pearl Jam album is named Ten, which is honoring Mookie Blaylock's jersey number.) However, Blaylock signed his deal with Epic Records, so the band was forced to take a new name, eventually settling on Pearl Jam after a brainstorm session.
There are many different stories of how the band came to the name Pearl Jam, and it's primarily a myth of their own creating. Vedder said in an early promotional video that Pearl Jam was a reference to his great-grandmother Pearl who was married to a Native American and had a special recipe for peyote-laced jam. He grew up, though, and eventually told Rolling Stone in 2006 that story was horseshit, even though he did have a great-grandma named Pearl.
The band has since explained that they came up with the name of Pearl Jam in two steps. It started when bassist Jeff Ament suggested the name "Pearl" inspired by the struggle of the creative process, and then the band added "Jam" after attending a Neil Young concert and watching him improving and extending songs. Uncle Neil strikes again.
When was Pearl Jam formed?
Pearl Jam was formed in Seattle in 1990. The origin story is that guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament dissolved their band Green River — a moderately successful grunge band signed to Sub Pop Records — in the mid-1980s due to creative differences with other bandmates. They went on to start another band called Mother Love Bone with Malfunkshun vocalist Andrew Wood. However, only four short months after Mother Love Bone released their debut album, Wood died of a heroin overdose.
Ament and Gossard were shaken by the news, and ended Mother Love Bone. They eventually teamed up with local Seattle guitarist Mike McCready and the trio started recording music as a form of therapy. They realized they had something, and with hopes of finding a vocalist and drummer, they sent out demo tapes to whomever would listen, including former Red Hot Chili Peppers drums Jack Irons. He passed on the offer, but gave the demo to his buddy Eddie Vedder, a California vocalist and surfer who was working part time at a gas station while singing in a band called Bad Radio. He listened to the tape shortly before going surfing, and while riding waves, the lyrics came to him. He recorded vocals of three songs for the demo, "Alive," "Once," and "Footsteps." Vedder sent the vocals back to the band in Seattle. Within weeks, he'd auditioned and officially joined. The band's first official gig was at the Off Ramp Café in Seattle on October 22, 1990.
What was the first album by Pearl Jam?
Pearl Jam's first album is called Ten, named after former professional basketball player Mookie Blaylock's jersey number. Ten featured songs like "Alive," "Even Flow," and "Jeremy," and would go on to sell millions and millions of copies while receiving multiple Grammy nominations.
How many records has Pearl Jam sold?
How high can you count? Pearl Jam is one of the most successful rock bands of the last 25 years. Throughout that time, they have sold an estimated 60,000,000 plus albums. In case you can't count zeros, Pearl Jam has sold 60 million plus records throughout their career. Not too bad, eh?
