    Funny you ask, I was just reading about this today on the sky i scrape FAQ section.

    Here is what they say:

    http://www.theskyiscrape.com/faq/index.php

    5.3 What is Pearl Jam's connection with Stephan Jenkins?
    He got in a fuss after Ed ambiguously alluded to a bunch of "Corporate Cocksuckers" trying to cover "Baba O'Riley" at the MSG show 9/11/98. This was in reference to Third Eye Blind's cover of The Who's "Baba O'Riley" on a TV program the night before. Stephan Jenkins (lead singer of 3rd eye blind) caught word of this and began whining about it in several interviews. The Stephan Jenkins website later claimed that the American Music Awards were rigged, that 3eb was on the ballot but PJ was read because 3eb changed some lyrics to "can I masturbate" during their performance at the awards show. All BS of course, again someone looking for attention. From recent interviews it seems that Ed has talked to Jenkins about the situation and apologized, but Jenkins continues to whine about it.

    That's not true at all...Jenkins has praised PJ various times since they made up. He even thought it how cool it would be to cover a PJ song someday because he admires their work so much.....

    I think Ed realized he was wrong, and just let it go....I mean, who's he to call 3EB corporate cocksuckers, when the song they are singing (Baba)has been distributed from everything ranging from commercials to movies to soundtracks etc by The WHO (and specifically Ed's hero Pete Townsend ) themselves....it just comes off as hypocritical.

    Not sure about the whining part, but it says at the top of the FAQ section at TSIS that it was last updated on February 4, 2003. Maybe it's gotten better since then? I dunno...

    you can tell just by looking at the singers face that he is an a**hole, they are not sweet guys, they are jerks who want money and fame and to have sex with teenage girls.... they are not good people.

    I always thought they had some catchy tunes, but was never really huge on 3EB.

    I like 3EB too. I think their first and second albums are great. Their third has a few decent tracks. I've seen them live at least twice and they put on a good show.

    I mean, can't anyone cover anyone's song they want? I have a version of Jimmy Eat World doing Prodigy's "Firestarter" and its damn good, slowed down, but good. And wasn't everyone in a tizzy when Maroon 5 did "RITFW" at Live 8? Who cares.

    I agree.
    Is Pearl Jam the only band allowed to cover The Who because of Ed and Pete'e friendship. Of course not. Third Eye Blind most likely were inspired by The Who as well so whats wrong with them covering Baba. I think it's great when popular bands cover great songs of the past!

    3eb toured with skanky vanessa carlton and the goo goo dolls.

    i guess they got caught in traffic before the show, her hair was dirty! she had to perform all sweaty. let me tell you, my earplugs were insufficient that night, they did not filter her out well enough, she hurt my ears. she took a shower, i guess, because she looked cleaner when she came out and sang a duet with johnny rezniak at the end. i don't like her :D
    i heard she was poking both stephan jenkins and johnny rezniak.
