Question
I am big Pearl Jam Fan, but I love Nirvana too. My question is: What problem did Nirvana or Kurt Cobain have with Pearl Jam and my beloved Eddie Vedder? Please give some quotes or a website where I can find out specifically what their problem was. I know Kurt said, Pearl Jam was riding Nirvana's and the alternative music  curtail, but was his particular beef with Pearl Jam? Please be specific.

Answer
Hello Prissy Smith,

Kurt, did  not have a problem with Eddie, in fact they we're really close friends near the end of his life, and they were also quite similar, both personally and musically.

Kurt had some problems with Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam for numerous reasons, but mainly that was noted was problems with their old band Greenriver and Subpop issues from back in the day..

As far specific Quotes and Websites, well that work you will have to do for yourself. It is way to time consuming for me to go through thousands of archived interviews.


Sincerely,

Jennifer

Nirvana

Expertise

I can answer questions about the release history of NIRVANA from 1989-Present, questions about the history of the band, life & death of Kurt Cobain, the remaining members of NIRVANA, and most questions about his family. I can fact check tour dates, live shows, and just about anything related.

Experience

I helped out Carrie Borzillo, rock new editor for cdnow.com (now amazon.com) with fact checking, an interview, eyewitness account and was given special thanks in her book Eyewitness Nirvana. I've been studying NIRVANA since 1993 and have read literally thousands of books, magazine articles, and other publications throughout the last decade and a half. My reference collection is huge with just about every book, entire release catalog, and more from all around the world. I started volunteering for AllExpterts.com in 1999 before it was purchased by About.com sometime in the early 00's. You can find all of the answers to previously asked public question dating back to 1999. I wrote, edited, and published a NIRVANA newsletter (NIRVANA FOREVER), and online zine (About a Son; Lithium) that both ran 7 years on America Online. I've founded and sistered a lot of NIRVANA communities on LiveJournal.com (NIRVANA FOREVER, Kurt & Jim, and NIRVANA Elitests), and Yahoo.com (NIRVANA FOREVER).
