While Eddie Vedder recently shared that he “despised” bands like Motley Crue, that was not the case for other Pearl Jam members.
In a new interview, guitarist Stone Gossard said he and bandmates Jeff Ament and Mike McCready were fans of ’80s hard rock.
“For sure, Jeff and Mike and I loved hard rock, went through it all,” Gossard said to Revolver. “I bought the first Motley Crue [album on] Leathur Records. At the time, it was punk-like. It was like Motorhead There [were] things about it that I was discovering about British hard rock at that time that felt also like rebellious or against the norm, or something that made me interested in it. And I always liked heavy.”
Do you think the Motley Crue/Pearl Jam feud will end soon? Should the bands collaborate?
