Artie Lange for those of you who don't know is a comic who is on the Howard Stern Show every morning, and in movies such as Dirty Work, Elf, and some others I can't think of. He always talks alot on the show about music as he is a big fan of The Who and Neil Young. He also said that he was a big fan of the grunge era and that Nirvana was his favorite group of the 90's. I always wanted to send in a CD of Pearl Jam with all of the various covers they do of songs he talks about so often on the air because I'm sure he wasn't aware of how often Pearl Jam plays songs he likes, and how well they play them.
So I never got around to sending him a CD because I thought that was somewhat creepy, and I never knew if it would get to him or if he would even know what it was. Anyway, today he was doing a book signing in Cleveland so I figured what the hell, I'll give it a shot. So I made the CD (songs listed below), went to the signing and waited in line for an hour and when I got up to him I said "Hey Art, I made this for you, It's Pearl Jam and they cover a ton of songs you love. Before you throw it away or leave it here, just give the list of songs a look" and his assistant and bodyguard guy interrupted me and said "Oh he isn't going to throw that away, he loves that kind of stuff" and Artie was talking to me about how great this was that I gave him it and looked at some of the songs and was like "Oh Man! Baba O'Riely?!, The Kids are Alright!" He started talking to me about John Fogerty's concert for 9/11 so I think he might have been confused as to who all the songs were by even though I told him several times it was Pearl Jam and his assistant told me how great Pearl Jam are. He is a druggie though so who knows. Anyway, hopefull he likes it and mentions it on the air next time they talk about music

Normally, howard seems like kind of a hater of Pearl Jam. not outright, but he kind of put them down.
However, i have noticed when he has attended/watched performances, Howard always singles them out for kicking ass. A few times they open segments with a cover like Baba Oreilly and Howard asks who that is, and when he learns it is Pearl Jam he compliments the cover. I think he is realizing the awesomeness of PJ. Maybe they will be on to perform someday. I cant see Eddie captive there and taking any and all questions from Howard though.
As far as Artie goes. I lost the little respect I had for him for the Joe Buck thing.

howard knows shit all about music...his favorite sirius station is the pulse...however, whenever fred plays pj and howard asks him who it is he always says he likes them
as for the joe buck appearance, don't ask a shark to swim with you if you don't weant to be eaten
I was listening to his station a month or so ago and he was playing eddies cover of youve got to hide your love away and Stern was singing along to it and briefly mentioned how he liked Eddie Vedder.

Artie's humor is crude and not very funny, IMO.
But I hate Joe Buck, so
I keep waiting for the day that Troy Aikman beats him to death in the booth. :evil:

yeah...some of it was funny, but he definitely went over the line and acted like a real douche.
He does. He always says that Glorified G is one of his favorite songs. I don't think that any of them dislike Pearl Jam, I just thought that Artie would like to know how well they play some of his favorite bands' tunes.
as far as people not thinking that gang likes PJ...I think Howard holds a grudge from a few years ago, PJ did an interview at KROQ and he felt snubbed that they didn't do his show. it's been a while but I remember howard was pissed. i found it humorous as there is no way PJ would do his show, but they always surprise us.
nice avatar
But recently, over the past 1 1/2 years I would say, they seem to get played between segments more and more, and Howard mentions seeing them on TV or at events more and more and always speaks very positively. The band seems to be directly up Howard's alley as far as musical tastes.
Also, back in 2005 I believe I remember that they had Pearl Jam booked on the show as Stone and Mike, and Howard said something like "Why won't Eddie come on the show, what's his problem? Why would I want to talk to Pearl Jam without Eddie Vedder?" He said something along those lines, and whenever he discusses Eddie he always mentions how he and Eddie probably wouldn't get along because he thinks Eddie is too serious (which may or may not be true). But from all of his talk of Ed, I don't think the two have met until this past April at that concert thing for TM. I don't think Howard dislikes Eddie, I just think the 2 have never met and Howard assumes Ed wouldn't like him.
Also, I get the feeling Fred is a big Pearl Jam fan because does play them alot. He even played Brother a couple months ago and Howard asked what it was, Fred said "This is the new Pearl Jam, number 1 on the charts right now, and before all the fans start writing me, Its an old song they did back around the Ten era they have just released for the reissue of Ten." and Howard was like "I really like it"

Exactly. It still shocks me people are ripping Artie for that appearance. I dunno what people were expecting when you put a guy like that on live TV on HBO where he can say whatever he wants. I cant stand Joe Buck, so I thoroughly enjoyed the segment.
very very very true... this version kicks ass..... i am forever indebted to eddie for introducing nusrat fateh ali khan into my world.... i have bought about a dozen nusrat recordings over the years and they are all amazing.
PJ is all over Howard 100 and 101 in their bumpers. In fact, Breath might be a part of every "Intern Show" but I could be wrong there.
As for Artie, if he gives it a listen, I'm betting he'll like the cd. Or, he could do coke off of it.
Anyway, I think that handler might be Helicopter Mike? The guy they talk about on the air that keeps Artie on the straight and narrow.

He is a HUGE Bruce fan, and I think he would LOVE some of Eds cover of him.
