Howard Stern wants Eddie Vedder on his show.

Spiritual_Chaos

From 2013:



"Eddie Vedder has never done my show, I talk more about Pearl Jam, again more, than John Stewart, more than David Letetrman, more than Jimmy Kimmel. Eddie Vedder "oh, we can't get him" -- what do you mean we can't get him?"

been waiting years for it to happen...

That would be a great interview.  Those two are a lot alike.

maybe he's not willing to go on the show because they refer to him as "Eddie the lead singer from Soundgarden"

Or that Howard Stern is a scumbag?

I love Howard.  Listen to him daily.  He does like PJ and occasionally mentions them.  I think if he interviewed Ed it would be cringe worthy.   Listen to his first interview of cornell.   His lack of understanding of the settle music scene is evident.  Howard also has terrible taste in music.  Of course he likes some great stuff. He’s a huge stones fan (who isn’t).  But he really likes shitty pop.   I’d be curious if he’s ever listened to Binaural or No Code.

Eddie doesn't really do interviews.   If they did their homework they'd realize it's like searching for a white whale?

Eddie should do that one, if any podcast/radio. 

But I don't think Sterns thing is to know of and be on the level with the guest, but asking interesting and a left-fieldish questions Rolling Stone wouldn't ask.

Would love for this interview to happen. Been waiting for this to happen for years.

It will not happen.  
Vedder is not going to agree to go on a live interview with no control, especially with an interviewer who is known for diving deep into personal matters.  It is not Stern's style to grant preconditions and boundaries to interviewees.  I dont think it would go real well.  Vedder would clam up when pressed on certain topics and Stern pries.  I could see it getting a bit uncomfortable

I stopped listening to Stern maybe about 2010-ish?  At the time, I sensed that with a mutual circle of friends (David Lynch and such) that Stern had been exposed to Vedder and Pearl Jam.  I know there was a big Who tribute event, Stern's a big Who fan and he commented how Pearl Jam absolutely killed it.  Vedder started to mention PJ a bit and they seemed to use them as a bumper more often.

I love Stern as an interviewer, but some of his other antics go a bit too far for my liking.

TBH, I can't really see Eddie sitting down with him, but I hope I'm wrong about that. I'm sure it would be a great interview.

The segment might only be nione minutes long.

Stern's interviewing style has evolved quite a bit over the past 9-ish years since you stopped listening.

I'm a big fan.  In the 90's and early 2000's he was very abrasive. He has admitted to going to therapy for this and has huge regret for being such a wrecking ball with a lot of different people, including Robin Williams, Will Ferrell, and Rosie O'Donell.  I think if you listened to one of his newer interviews you'd get a sense that the Howard you are probably familiar with has not been around in about 15 years.  You'd probably be quite impressed.

For those unaware, Stern has changed his interview style over the past 4 years, aiming to capture A-list guests and keeping away from the sexual questions he used to be known for, until the interviewee brings it up themselves. That's what this leaked you-tube seminar clip came from, where he basically met with his staff and informed them of his new philosophy. 

His musical interviews typically follow the same format, where he plays a clip of a song, says something like "remember this one" and then lets the artist discuss it a bit. Then he has them play 1-2 old songs and then their new song live in the studio. 

It works for a lot of artists and actors, but sometimes it goes too long and nothing really interesting comes from it. I don't think it would work with this band, as Howard really would only want to talk to Eddie, who I think would be the least vocal in the interview, and like others have stated, Howard will delve into areas these guys probably do not want to discuss.

Why would Ed place himself in a situation where someone (Howard S) is likely to make fun of him or embarrass him in some way?

The think the real question is:  "Why does anyone go on Howard Stern's show?" 

Spiritual_Chaos

I've never listened to Stern, only know him from all of his sexist contests and shit from back in the day.

But just youtube some of the recent interview clips he puts up, and there always great and laid back:

This comment is extremely dated. You must not have listened to a single show in the past ten years.

You're right. I never listen to him.  I don't like his style of comedy.

not trying to argue but the McCartney and Grohl interviews posted above are good examples of more recent interviews.  He might be one of the best interviewers around.

His Conan O'Brien interview was really good (and hilarious)

No I think he's saying that showing Eddie that Cornell was on the show would be way to convince Eddie that doing the show is up his ally. 

But it wouldn't be up his ally. Eddie is too guarded and an interview between him and Stern would suck.

It's saying show Eddie Chris' interview from the show. Should've put a comma in there or something

Or he could have remembered the name of Soundgarden's singer.

Howard is terrific, the show has changed a bunch over the years. I don't think this will ever happen, but I bet the 2 of them would have a nice conversation away from the mic.

If you've ever listened to Howard he doesn't always remember names of guests he had on his show

That’s not what it says. It says show Eddie pictures, etc if when the lead singer if soundgarden was on. Was on more than 1x I think and it was a great interview.

Howard stern is the best interviewer. He has made Miley Cyrus, Sia, and lady Gaga seem awesome to me. Great style, great content. And gets these people to actually be people for a little while.

The best interview I've ever heard from Stern was him getting Paul McCartney to talk about the first time he had sex after his wife Linda died. That's some pretty deep stuff. 

"And before we began, I sorta looked up and thought "Hey Linda-bell, what do you think of all this? I hope this is alright."
