Did Eddie ever learn how to pronounce "Ament"?

SomethingCreative

I don't know how its actually pronounced, but I've heard Eddie say it a number of different ways over the years.

for example:
A-ment - like how you say the letter "A"
AH-ment - like "Amen" with a "t" on the end.
AM ent


and yes, I have the day off and nothing better to do...wanna fight about it?

This is rather amusing, Eddie has been pronouncing JA's name forever...it is pronounced A-ment, as in rhyming with Amen...

Some people say A-men some people say aw-men. Notably, nobody says it Uh-men.

Jeff says it A-ment

More importantly, Stone says that it is 'A-ment', and whenever Stone speaks, you listen.

Amen!

I've noticed that recently, he has been pronouncing it "ay-meant" - maybe Jeff finally educated him after all those years?

I just heard Ed get it right and THEN wrong on the Manchester 6/21/12 boot. He said, "Please say hello to Jeff Ay-ment! .... Uh-ment!" Why can't he remember?!?

Sometimes I think he does it just to mess with Jeff...

Only if Jeff has been pronouncing his own name wrong......

Uh-ment seems the most natural to me

There is early video of Jeff introducing himself........."This is Jeff A-ment of Pearl Jam, blah, blah, blah......"

I have often wondered about how to pronounce Jeff last name - and Eddie is NOT really helping!

New video too. I very recently heard him say his own name for some charity blurb or something and took note. It's Ay-ment (or, as a Canadian, I say it's Eh-ment). We've gotta go with how he pronounces his own name I think! So swear to god, that's how Jeff says it, so I think the matter is settled! Luckily the correct pronunciation feels most natural to me.

Sorry, I have no memory of where I found it. I found in the course of doing an extensive search about how to pronounce his name, but once I confirmed how he pronounced it, I didn't bother remembering what he speaking for, since my question was answered and I was satisfied! (seriously though, I really did hear it ). I'm sure you'll stumble upon it too if you search around. He's said his name probably dozens of times on camera.

Jeff and Matt:-D On some boots it just sounds like that haha

I've listened to PJ Radio on Siruis and there are breaks with Jeff and he says "Hi, this is Jeff Ament - that's A-ment - and you're listening to Pearl Jam radio".

tribejammer05

Actually it's pronounced Billy Corgan

Maybe it's an ongoing inside joke...
I'm pretty sure Eddie called him "Jeff Lament" at the end of Isle of Wight 2012.

I think Jeff should just change his last name. Is 'Smith' taken?!
