Politics Is Tricky; It Cuts

It's A Very Complex Scenario, And Certainly Dave Was, And Is, Not The Only Person In Pearl Jam With Personality Flaws. Everybody In This Band Exhibits Some Form Of Neurotic Behavior. And We Couldn't Find A Balance, A Mutual Respect For Each Other.

You Know, At 35 Or At 38 Or 40 You Really Start To See What Your Body Could Look Like If You Just Don't Do Anything All Winter Long. So That's Another Motivating Factor, Our Vanity.

We’re Super Fortunate In Pearl Jam To Have Such Loyal Fans...who Really Want To Come & See Us Play.

The Focus Of My Playing Is The Groove, And Every Time I Find A New Rhythm, I Find I Can Write A Bunch Of New Songs. Learning How To Dance, Or Drum, Or To Swing My Body In A New Way Is The Fundamental Way I Find A New Riff. Because When You Learn To Swing Your Body In A New Way, You Begin To Swing With Your Instrument Differently.

I'm In A Rock Band - I Don't Have A Day Job! I Am Spoiled... A Lot.
