Howard Stern wants Eddie Vedder on his show.

Even if howard changed in the last 10 years and doesnt pry into carnal stuff...  EV has a lot of walls and doesn't seem to like to be prodded about stuff.  I cant see him really offering anything interesting, and if Howard tried to go into interesting areas, EV might/probably will get irritated.  He isnt built for a live open-source interview format... which is cool.  Grohl likes to chitchat into a mic and hear his own voice.  EV, not so much.

As someone said, I would love to be a fly on the wall at a social gathering when these two meet.  I think they do have quite a bit in common presently.

same....I would imagine that there would be lines drawn prior to the live interview.  There would be plenty to discuss without getting too personal.

Stern is all about personal though. 

Marc Maron is a better choice for Eddie I would think, as seen by his many interviews with musicians. He cares more about the nerdiness of it all, than "so, tell me about the groupies. It must have been insane? Was it insane? The groupies? They must have thrown themselves at you like wild dogs. Right, Robin? Did you ever try to get backstage at a Pearl jam show in the 90s? I bet you did"

I remember years ago Stern talked about PJ and his remark was towards Vedder and a stuper of an interview he did on MTV.

Stern says "Shut up and sing Eddie" to which Stern wouldn't want to do an interview w him.

My how the tides turn 20+ years later.

I could really see him dwelling on Cobain and Cornell's deaths which would also be a no-fly zone I think.

It would be safe for EV now vs in the 90s.  Howard would kiss his ass.  The only thing he may do which wouldn't be difficult is to get him to insult Trump like he did with Bill Maher.  Other than that it would be softball questions and I would enjoy it being a fan of both.

Seems to me that Ed is more likely to do Dave's new show on Netflix before he grants Howard an audience. Plus, Howard's past and ongoing approach to women is not likely to curry favour with Ed's present sensibilities. If we know anything about Ed, it's that he rarely opens himself up for interviews (the last longform interview I recall is 2006 with RS), is highly political in making these kinds of choices, and prizes control. What does Ed get out of this interview that he doesn't already have?

love stern but would much rather hear him (or any of the guys) on maron.

Let’s face it. We have all gotten old. Howard has matured and our favorite band is now more or less a nostalgia act. The fire is gone. It’s sad to say but these 30 years have been life changing and Pearl Jam will always be my favorite band but the days of consistent album releases and touring are done. I loved the Lighting Bolt album and will probably love the next album as long as it’s not Backspacer part 2. So just like as you get older hanging with friends happens less and less. So does our band and what we crave. And to bring it all around. So does Howard with his never ending vacation schedule and 3 day work week. All good things must come to an end but at least we have 30 years of magic.

This post feels like one of those late direct to video Hellraiser Movies Where they took existing horror scripts and hamfisted in 2-3 scenes with Pinhead to be able to sell it as a Hellraiser movie. 

”Eddie doing an interview with Stern” is the Pinhead part of your post.

If you want to see what Howard is like now and dont have access to Sirius, check out Conan O'Brien's podcast Conan Needs a Friend, and listen to the interview with Howard, and he speaks very candidly and honestly regarding his style change over the years and has issues listening back to those interviews because of how he was then.

I loved Howard back in the day, even stood on line for a day with my sister to get his book signed. I cringed at some of his stuff but I live right by NYC ant Howard Stern was popular. I don't listen to him now, he's not on the radio and I don't listen to much radio and don't have Sirius. I'm sure that his interviewing style has chilled out incredibly, but he still is Howard and you never know where he's gonna go. 

I can't see Eddie doing it. He has had walls up since the early days of Pearl Jam and I don't think they will ever come down. He is a very guarded person and I don't blame him. Actually it's sad that fame did that to him particularly of all the members. But it did. 

The only interviews I could see EV doing would be with people he is already friendly with, not a stranger. Not gonna happen.

Stern is the best at what he does. Eddie is the best at what he does. Howard would be able to get a lot of good shit out of Eddie!
