Editorial Reviews

Product Description

This detailed biography tracks the meteoric rise and tumultuous history of this seminal group and its enigmatic leader, Eddie Vedder. Noted rock chronicler Martin Clarke explores Pearl Jam’s reaction to its massive popularity, its triumphs at the MTV and Grammy awards, the notorious rift with Nirvana, and its creative rebirth with the acclaimed album No Code. Extraordinary successes are counterpointed with scandals, personnel changes, band tensions, and substance abuse, all punctuated with revealing photographs. Fully revised, this edition features previously unpublished facts and stories as well as an updated, comprehensive discography.

1.0 out of 5 stars Looks good but not accurate., July 16, 2001
I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan so I read this book a while ago hoping for some insight into the band. I was sadly dissappointed. While the book has lots of nice photographs, it's hardly worth reading. This book is full of misquotes and distorted facts. If you really like Pearl Jam I suggest you read the book "Five Against One" instead. It's a lot longer but well worth your time.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book's best feature is its subject matter..., October 6, 2003
By jim rice "Schmakt" (Davidson, NC USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was excited to get this and start reading - hopefully find some insight into some things that I didn't previously know about one of favorite bands. Unfortunately, however, this book was little more than regurgitated facts easily found on the internet and quotes from other articles. I picked up a few unknown tidbits here and there, but nothing extraordinary. The author took a rather detached stance and didn't really ever allow the reader to know whether or not he actually LIKED Pearl Jam. The drummer history and early band history were both fairly interesting, but you can find out everything in those sections over at lukin.com. The most fun part of reading the book was coming across references to specific shows, then running to my bootleg folder to listen to the show. It's always cool to have some background to put the thing you're listening to in perspective. Except that, even this, is easily available on the web at Five Horizons. It's a decent "refresher-course", but I was looking for something that, when I was done, would make me want other people to read it. When I finished this, I was, instead, just rather ho-hum about the whole thing.

but... PEARL JAM ROCKS

2.0 out of 5 stars This book will tell you nothing you don't already know, January 7, 1999
By A Customer
If you have followed the career of Pearl Jam for the past few years I do not reccommend purchasing this book. It seems the writer took all his information from magazine sources, newspaper articles and other media documents. Basically any fan who has followed the band should already know everything in the book.

I have read this and find it very good. I am a pearl jam fan and recommend this book to any and all who are interested in Vedder and crew. He's the last true anti-hero.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor writing, poorer journalism
Nothing in this book that a Pearl Jam fan doesn't know, and for the new fan: many factual errors here. There's no thesis that the author tries to support with this material. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative about the history and lives of bandmembers.
This book is a must for any true fans of Pearl Jam. It tells all about how they coped with changes and stuck together. This is a very good book and has great pictures.

This book was very undetailed. It was barely good enought for the average rock fan let a lone an average Pearl Jam fan. I could have edited it better myself. Read more
