Eddie Vedder opens up on Kurt Cobain

The Pearl Jam frontman recently joined in for an interview with the New York Times when it was noted that Cobain had a major influence on the evolution of both Vedder and Pearl Jam. During the interview, Vedder noted that he heard a rumor about Cobain getting a massive paycheck and that seemed ‘exciting’. Previously, Eddie Vedder revealed a humiliating video clip of Motley Crue.

He revealed how Krist Novoselic had a couple of jukeboxes- LPs and 45s and also a couple of pinball machines. He believed that they could replicate the same with their works:

“The things that I remember sound inconsequential. I remember hearing through the rumor mill that Nirvana had got a big check, and that seemed exciting. We were excited for them — and wondering if we’d get a big check. I also remember going over to Krist Novoselic’s.11 Krist had two jukeboxes: One was LPs, one was 45s; he had two pinball machines. I remember thinking that if Krist did that, then we could and it wouldn’t seem bourgeois. Outside of that, I remember it was cool that Novoselic asked me, when the record was coming out, it might have been the second record12 — oh, [expletive].”

He added: “Now I know why I never tell this story. Here’s the problem: I’m about to mention the Beatles and the Stones. He was saying that he’d read back in the day — I don’t know if he was right — that the Stones and the Beatles used to see when each other’s records were coming out so they could put them out at different times. I thought that was one of the biggest compliments. Not remotely because we were like the Beatles and Stones but because he was saying, Hey, we could work together on this.”
