Who is your favorite band from the 90s?

I met Eddie a few years ago. I was nervous to meet him because I was worried he might not be nice. I have always been a big fan of his, and I didn't want to be disappointed. Well, he was as nice as can be. I told him how much his music meant to me, he grabbed me and hugged me. He is very grateful for his fans. He is great!

Not all heroes wear capes. They wear flannel around the waist.

The only man that never disapointed me.

YOu know you're pretty wild when the Red Hot Chili Peppers call you Wild Eddie

In other words, the man overcame his difficult upbringing against all odds. He proceeded to channel his personal experiences and became a legendary artist. He used his platform to speak out for valient political topics. Humanitarian. Activist. He deserves so much respect and admiration. One of the greatest talents we will ever know.

Eddie Vedder is just like Keanu Reeves, everybody loves him because he is a nice dude doing nice things to people

Long live Eddie Vedder and his support for many causes that are often overlooked.

I love that man and I'm so happy he's still with us. He's a good man. Long live Eddie Vedder!

I love this guy - his voice of course, his leadership as a loving human being, and all the caring support he offers. Now seeing him as a husband and father, wow. He even comes to our local high school across the street to support the arts in Encinitas CA. Just a spectacularly beautiful man, within and without.....

"I'd fall asleep in class". - True story, I had Eddie's government teacher in '92, about a decade after he was sitting in that very class @ San Dieguito High in Encinitas. The teacher mentioned how Eddie would sit in the back of class and basically be silent and disconnected. Which was surreal to hear about as Jeremy was on an hourly blast on MTV at the time.

This artist is soo under rated. He is a one of a kind. Theres only One Eddie Vedder. Thank you for the music, your energy, your talent, your gift to the world of rock and roll and its listeners! Life changing human being. Rest in Peace Chris, Andy, Kurt. Chester. Long live the Grunge. Thank you Mr. Vedder.

Pearl jam has been the soundtrack to my life since 91, so grateful for this band 🤘🤘

I’m still in love with this man,
-
This guy saved my life so many times. His music pulled me out of black hole of sadness every time. I’m out of words to describe by admiration for him.

Eddie Vedder is a very intense performer. You cannot take your eyes off of him. One could easily put Vedder at the top of the list of all singers from the early 90's, as well as Staley, Weiland & Cobain. So different yet equally gifted. 4 of my favorites. 🤘

Got to know a saint in the rock world tonight, Eddie Vedder. My music was the Stones and the Beatles mainly, but Pearl Jam arrived much later. I never really listened to their stuff until tonight, but hey, my tastebuds are tinglin' from Jam tonight, and I am stunned by how much Eddie V. cares for his fellow man. A big thank you foer thinking about others, Eddie!

A legend wise before his time. Some of his songs are so spiritually advanced, once I had my own awakening, many of his songs were understood on a whole new level. He was always a hero in my eyes.
