I remember quite a few people being very negative about the idea of EV doing Stern. We would have missed out on the best interview ever.
I was skeptical that he WOULD do it, as I didn't think he would want to open up or be put on the spot about certain things (I also think there were probably some ground rules ahead of time... while they touched on Cornell's passing, Eddie didn't get too deep into it, or his relationship with him, which I don't think was an accident).
If I had to guess, I would think those who were negative about the idea were probably hung up on their impression of Howard Stern from the 90s who used to fling bologna at women's asses... the guy has come a long way as an interviewer, and it definitely isn't the same show it was 25 years ago.
What I care about is if it bumped sales. And it did just that. Gigaton is back at least on the iTunes rock album chart. Elderly Woman is #20 on the iTunes alternative songs. Better Man, Last Kiss, Yellow Ledbetter, and Black are there as well. Ten, vs, Vitalogy, and Greatest hits are on the Alternative album chart. Ten and the Greatest hits are always there anyway. Both are in the iTunes Top 100 Album

For the Sirius links, do I have to be a Howard subscriber? I have SiriusXM, but I don't have Howard.
I have a SiriusXM account here in Canada but don't have the Howard100 channel. The link above is the USA link. I was able here to view & listen to them all with no problem. It's a free preview week, for SiriusXM USA.
I thought it was a solid interview and covered a lot of ground that I don't usually hear from Eddie interviews. That being said, I thought Stern rambled a bit and the part about Ed's childhood went on for waaaay too long. It almost felt like he was trying to provoke something

You obviously don’t listen to many Stern interviews or the show often. You might be taking it out of context. Howard talks about the struggles of his own upbringing all the time (mostly for comedic value). He has been in therapy for a long time and is interested in others experiences and ways they cope. His audience loves his own honesty and (correctly) assumes his listeners would want the same honesty from the guests.
You are a PJ fan and know the entire story no doubt, therefore it wouldn’t be that interesting. It would be very fair to assume the majority of Stern listeners aren’t hardcore PJ fans therefore there were many interesting nuggets there for them.
I enjoyed the interview. We don't get too many full interviews, and most of the time it's very controlled by the band. Stern got to push a little harder than were accustomed too. Was cool hearing some new stories and insights.
