Stone Gossard: Jeff Ament is the musical leader of the band right now

by Henrik Tuxen in collab w/ Pearl Jam Nordic

I’ve interviewed Stone Gossard over two one-hour sessions in April during the pandemic, together - alone in each of our home and country. But the Skype connection was good and the atmosphere and content even better.

Gigaton, Covid 19, activism, spirituality, the interaction in Pearl Jam, tough challenges, optimism, Eddie Vedder's state of the art, Jeff Ament peaking, track by track, more songs and albums in the future, etc.

Six months on the road – and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Six months on the road – and I'm gonna make it home tonight

Wouw, sitting here in hometown, Copenhagen, flashing back, slightly blown away. One day shy of six months ago since I took the plane to Santiago, Chile. Going more or less directly from the airport to venue to see Pearl Jam, and the same day I held a copy of 'The more you need – The less you get' in my hand for the first time (Stone Gossard got the very first one). Seven shows, two canceled ones (Buenos Aires, and London). Three long talks and meals with Stone Gossard on three different continents, more precisely Santiago, Seattle and Berlin. Short catch up and photos with Mike McCready, longer talk, especially concerning the wilderness of Southern Chile and Argentina with Jeff Ament, and various chats with members from crew and management. No sight of Matt and Ed this time, never met Boom.

Hope To Meet You In London

Hope To Meet You In London

Hi everybody out there having fun, enjoying this great European summer, topped with World Cup Football, and definitely PJ Europe.

I'm psyched to see what the Seattle Fab Five (well six on stage) has up their sleeves, when I'm on for both nights at O2 in London this upcoming week. But equally excited to meet lots of old and new friends out there.

So many of you have been extremely supportive of my book, and most importantly; your comments, activities and actions, have been very parallel to the underlying feelings and vibe, I tried to catch in the book, in line with how I've experienced the core of Pearl Jam’s music, actions, spirit and soul.
