Through a mutual friend, he had the instrumental that guitarist Stone Gossard had dubbed “Dollar just received a three-track instrumental demo from a band looking Short” was renamed “Alive.” for a lead singer and lyricist. As he rode the California waves, he Vedder’s tale only grew darker over the next two songs. In began imagining lyrics for the three songs—and a tragic melodrama “Once,” the son’s confusion and anger leads him to become a serial that would bind them together as a coherent story. killer. He is captured, and in “Footsteps” he laments his fate while The tale Vedder invented begins like this: A young man’s mother awaiting execution. Once the lyrics were completed, Vedder dubbed informs him that the man he believes to be his father is in fact his himself singing over the instrumentals and hastily mailed them to stepfather, and that his real father is dead.

  • „Lightning Bolt“ Nachfolger Von „Backspacer“ Pearl Jam Im Oktober Mit Neuem Studioalbum
    Ob ihr neues Album "Lightning Bolt" ähnlich frisch klingt wie "Backspacer" vor vier Jahren? Pearl Jam stehen vor der Veröffentlichung ihres zehnten Albums. „Lightning Bolt“ Nachfolger von „Backspacer“ Pearl Jam im Oktober mit neuem Studioalbum 12. Juli 2013, Von: Redaktion, Foto(s): Steve Gullick Als die US-Grunge-Rocker Pearl Jam vor vier Jahren ihr Album „Backspacer“ auf den Markt brachten, glaubten einige, die Band hätte eine besonders intensive musikalische Frischzellenkur genossen: Griffiges Songwriting, modernes, leicht extravagantes Coverartwork und ein knackig-frischer Sound zeichneten das von Brendan ´O Brien produzierte Album aus. Der Produzent ist geblieben, die Songs sind neu: Im Oktober präsentieren Pearl Jam ihr neuestes Studiowerk. Es kommt vor, dass Pearl Jam vor allem mit der Seattle-Grunge-Ära der frühen Neunziger in Verbindung gebracht, als die Band um Sänger und Frontmann Eddie Vedder mit Bands wie Nirvana die Speerspitze des Genres bildete. Alben wie das 1991 erschiene „Ten“ oder der 1993er-Longplayer „Vs.“ zählen zu den besonders populären Platten der Band. Wer Pearl Jam in jüngerer Vergangenheit ein wenig aus den Augen verloren hat, der mag sich wundern, wie frisch, spielfreudig und gewissermaßen auch jung die Band auf dem im September 2009 veröffentlichten und vielbeachteten Album „Backspacer“ herüberkommt, das mit rund 32 Minuten Spielzeit recht kurz ausgefallen ist, dafür aber nach Ansicht vieler um so packender und kurzweiliger klingt. Für den 11.Oktober, also gut vier Jahre nach „Backspacer“ kündigen Pearl Jam die Veröffentlichung ihres neue Studioalbums „Lightning Bolt“, die mittlerweile zehnte Platte der Band, an. Versprochen werden im Vorfeld „klassische Gitarrensounds“ und „mitreißendes Songwriting“ (Medieninfo). Auch 12.

It’s a word that was used to describe a number chains of different “alternative” bands from the region in 1980s, and then also into the 1990s with bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney and Screaming Trees. The first noted instance of referring to a Seattle band as “grunge,” was in a 1981 letter by Mark Arm, according to Clark Humphrey in his account of the Seattle music scene, Loser. pearl jam Bruce Pavitt later claimed to have popularized the term as a musical label in 1987, when he wrote some promotional copy for Green River, describing the band as “ultra-loose grunge that destroyed the morals of a generation”. In the late 80s, “grunge” did actually define a sound – high levels of distortion, feedback, fuzz effects, a fusion of punk and metal influences. Many of these bands were on either the C/Z or Sub Pop record labels. Jack Endino, the so-called “Godfather of Grunge” recorded Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Green River, Nirvana and Blood Circus between 1984 and 1989.

  • La Doble Sensación Del Disco Backspacer
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown Aunque el saldo fianl es positivo, el fonograma de Pearl Jam explota demasiado la voz de Eddie Vedder, en detrimento del resto de los miembros del grupo Autor: Internet Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 04:52 pm La doble sensación del disco Backspacer Publicado: Miércoles 18 noviembre 2009 | 09:50:59 pm. Publicado por: Joaquín Borges-Triana Aunque han transcurrido casi 20 años, me parece que fue ayer cuando los amantes del rock en este país nos enamoramos de aquella revolución sonora procedente de Seattle y que pusiera en circulación por el mundo entero términos como grunge y rock alternativo. Nombres como Nirvana, Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Alice in Chains y Pearl Jam fueron ídolos para una generación de cubanos, así como admirados por quienes —sin pertenecer al grupo etáreo de los hoy «treintiañeros»—captamos los valores esenciales de una movida que, entre nosotros, no solo repercutió en el ámbito de los roqueros sino también en el de los cantautores. Cierto que los de entonces ya no somos los mismos. Muchas de las bandas que causaron furor en los 90 han desaparecido. También es verdad que la mayoría de los seguidores de la corriente, y que en Ciudad de La Habana colmaban los escenarios para los conciertos de una agrupación como Havana (uno de los principales cultores del estilo por acá), se han desperdigado. Empero, no únicamente queda la nostalgia por aquellos años, en los que se fue intensamente feliz. Una amiga de dicho período por estos días me ha hecho llegar un disco, que me trae un montón de recuerdos a la cabeza.
