So im doing a little work on the house while im listening to Stern and they played the fixer in its entirety. Normally Howard would comment on a new song but he was'nt in studio while Fred was playing it . I would have loved to hear howards thoughts on it . I think Fred likes it cause he played it . I know Howard loves Glorified G. I think it would be so cool if the boys went on stern probably won't happen maybe mike or matt would.

I have noticed in the past year and a half, Fred will play a PJ song and Howard will comment on it asking who it is and then praising it. Fred has played a few of their Who covers and Howard likes them a lot and he is a huge The Who fan.
Recently, PJ has played at a few events Howard was at, and Howard has singled them out for being awesome. Also, he saw them at that The Who tribute thing and said they kicked ass.
I believe Howard does hold them in high regard now. He would have them on.... and it would be a great thing for PJ to do. It would be a good opportunity for the show to give them a huge boost. However, not sure how Eddie would handle some of the questions surely to be fired his way

Eddie Vedder + Howard Stern + Iron Shiek = Radio Gold
I think that around the time of Riot Act, relations were strained a little. Pearl Jam did an exclusive live interview at WXRQ (KROCK-New York) but on the afternoon show, not Howard Stern's show.
I don't have sat radio so when he bolted for that format, I lost touch. Nice to hear from other posts in here that Howard seems to be positive on PJ.
he said Vedder was standing there like a plant while neil young was rocking in the free world. said neil looked foolish and that if he was a rocker, he'd never move like Ed.
but thats just my opinion...
Brother and the Fixer? Played because of their position on the Mod Rock charts at the time. Haven't heard Brother since the begining of summer... the Fixer is #3 on the Mod Rock charts this/last week.
I don't think the band will EVER do Stern... Not their scene.
Still got my fingers crossed for it though...
My 2 obsessions together, Howard and PJ, that would kick some major ass...

On a side note to the person(s) commenting on how Howard treats women; please. Nobody's forcing chicks to do anything when they go on the show, it's their decision to do the show and what they do on the show. In most cases they go on for the same reason most other guest's go on. Money or some kind of publicity/promotion.

Haha i remember that interview.. when he asks cornell if Ev is an asshole...
Stone and Jeff were booked as guests and Howard canceled them when he found out Eddie wasn't coming in. He says "why would I want to talk to Pearl Jam without Eddie Vedder?"
Gary talked about it on the wrap up show back in 2006
I think Howard always saw Eddie as too serious. Whenever his name comes up Howard always speaks on how unhappy he seems (EV). I think they met at a function this past April they both spoke at though and since then when Eddie's name comes up he doesn't make it sound like Eddie is miserable which makes me think they have met.
I wouldn't exactly call those "thoughts on Stern." His entire comment on Stern was "I don't." when asked if he listened to his show.
And talk about terrible formatting! That interview, whenever it's from, could've gotten some better exposure if it weren't so hackishly put together.
P.S. I love Stern - if you take the misogyny thing too seriously you'll wind up finding things that aren't there. He's a hornball - he doesn't hate women in the least. His on-air approach to women on his show isn't exactly a likable quality of his, but the women he objectifies 90% of the time are there for the singular purpose of objectification for profit. That's precisely what models/strippers/hookers exist for. And the guy has a PAYING subscriber base three times as large as Conan, Letterman, Ferguson, Kimmel or Fallon. Literally.
I get that sense too. I think Howard might have realized they have common interests and I believe they met at that Lynch thing or that meditation thing
i share this opinion.

when people say this, i pretty much assume that they've never actually listened to his show, and rely on media reports or maybe caught old snippets from the E! show, and really don't know s--t about the show. If that's the case, then you really should reserve your comments - because of course those sources are only going to reveal the absolute most outrageous stunts. they do 5+ hours of live radio per day. most of it is funny, and very little is as offensive or "shocking" as people would like to think.
