    I get building up the mythology of Eddie and him being this Jesus character that can walk on water and raise the dead and people want to carry his children and all of that...

    ... but that was not the first recording he sang on.

    Really sounds like Springsteen in that.

    A little harsh, no?  I missed the part where he talked about Jesus and the rest of that.  I think he was just excited to post about a song he likes.

    A lot of shade gets thrown when people get little pieces of information wrong around here. I'm not sure this is what the Ten Club should be about.

    Much of what happened in the Temple Of The Dog sessions has passed into rock legend. There’s the story of Eddie Vedder sitting quietly in the corner with his notebook waiting for Mookie Blaylock sessions to resume as Chris Cornell sang Hunger Strike. The two had only just met, yet Eddie – at the time a deeply shy inductee to Seattle’s scene – still possessed the necessary confidence to walk over to Chris uninvited and sing the deeper register sections of the song, freeing Chris up to tackle the high parts. Hunger Strike would go on to become the first song on which Eddie Vedder was properly recorded in a studio.

    Not meant to come across as harsh. So if it did, I want to clarify that it was not the intent.

    Wish Eddie and Chris would have sung more stuff together.
