Howard Stern Show's constant Pearl Jam praise, suddenly

SoLATisA · January 2011

For all the Howard Stern Show listeners out there, do you love all the Pearl Jam that gets dropped in?

This morning their was a Robin parody song to "Betterman"

Fred constantly plays PJ coming back from breaks, so does Teddy at the end of the Wrap-Up show (brother instrumental seems to be his fav -- Fred seems to really like Even Flow).

Everyday, Jay Thomas' promo is State of Love and Trust

Howard and Robin and Fred constantly praise what good music Pearl Jam makes, although Howard does have some comments about them not doing anything anymore, that is just his way, and he still likes the music,... he has admitted many times his favorite song is "Glorified G".... Robin has recently commented that she would love to see them play. I love the one time Howard sang "Jeremy" with auto-tune... funny stuff.

Howard says he would love to interview Eddie, but is afraid Eddie will clam up and be a miserable interview..... I hope not, but he may be right... I can't see the two getting along. However, while listening to the show, it is awesome hearing the PJ shout outs, and the cuts peppered into the show!

Meh.

Opie and Anthony come back from break with PJ alot, and also plays in the background..

O&A PARTY ROCK!

HollisBrown · January 2011

Just sounds like Howie being a good soldier and promoting another Sirious/XM stablemate.

SoLATisA · January 2011

sorry for the title, I wrote 2 different things and thought I cleaned it up. whoops, one word makes no sense... my bad

SoLATisA · January 2011

Jeremys Spoken - never listened to O & A.... I have heard good things, and think it's cool they play PJ, just never got into them, but never understood the war between the OA and HS camps... it is crazy how strong both sides get sometimes

HollisBrown.... that's true, I love the PJ station (most of the time), but this goes back long before the channel... to the K-Rock days.... just commenting on it since I heard the parody this morn

Jeremys Spoken · January 2011

Howard is a big baby, he didn't want them to even mention his name... they took over NY terrestrial radio, and he was angry.

What ever.

Howard is tight with Natalie Maines, who is a huge fan that listens everyday, which is why Howard aired the West Memphis concert on his channel, maybe she could get Eddie to come, but highly doubtful. Eddie is just about privacy and Howard is not, the interview would never work. I am a fan of both but somethings just don't work together. I heard the Betterman parody, it was kinda funny. And Opie and Anthony are hacks.

that pretty much sums it up perfectly. he's a big PJ fan but not familiar with the newer stuff

MayDay10 · January 2011

I believe that Howard has met EV as they seem to run in very similar circles from time to time. Howard in his personal life and EV would likely get along really well. Howard also seems to compliment PJ a lot more over the past 2-3 years.

However, EV would never work as an interview on the show. Not even close. If EV and PJ wanted to appear on the show (with no stipulations), Howard would have them on in a second.

BinauralJam · January 2011

I would love to hear Howard interview the band, they would be so uncomfortable.

BettrMan21 · January 2011

Big Stern Show fan. He had Chris Cornell on a few years back. He sang a few songs and the interview was very good. Not your typical, "What celebrities have you banged" that Howard usually does. He asked Chris about Ed; why kind of guy he is, how much of the early years Chris thought may have been schtick, etc. Cornell said Ed was a genuine dude, one of his best friends. I think Pearl Jam would be respected on Stern's show. They really have no reason to go on or anything but it would still be cool, speaking as a fan of both...

PJStatTracker · January 2011

Howard Stern and EV both appeared (separately) at the David Lynch thing awhile back, so they're definitely familiar and support some of the same causes

I think that sums up most people outside of this board.

And Howard has been complimenting pearl jam for years so it has nothing to do with them both being on Sirius.

Veddernarian · January 2011

Howard praised PJ endlessly in 1991. That's how I took notice beyond "casual notice". Howard was playing Evenflow over and over and marveling how great they were. This is when he was syndicated on KLSX FM in Los Angeles in the mornings.

jeremy autotune was before pj radio. i agree with the OP; all of the pearl jam references existed before pj radio.

howard does not promote anything he doesn't need to.

OHtheRitual · January 2011

I don't have a sat rad in my house, so I don't get to listen to Stern, but I have PJ radio on my computer in the background all day long..But it's good to know they are pushing how awesome PJ is..My husband listens to Stern eveyday in his worktruck..faithful listener..LOL..and he's always bugging me about being a PJ freak, just doesn't understand the obsession I guess

It's good to know he's gettin' it from Stern & crew too!! LOL

rrivers · January 2011

One day Steve the Intern was running the board on the Wrap Up show and at the end there was a Pearl Jam song playing. Jon Hein commented that of course Steve was playing Pearl Jam so it was time to wrap up.

I like both Stern and Pearl Jam. And sandwiches now that I think about it.

lostdozen · January 2011

Yeah is it Teddy or Steve B. who is the big PJ fan that always plays their outros on the Wrap Up Show? Love that.

A while back listening to Rosie O'Donnell's radio show, she had a staffer who was a huge fan and needed to be at a computer to get tickets through the 10C pre-sales. It was pretty funny - I think Rosie ended up getting him tix to the MSG show(s) ... forget the guy's name though.

That'd be a funny bit - to record someone going through the trials of securing pre-sale tickets to an MSG show...good times

BryanWeb · January 2011

I do enjoy Stern and listen to him every now and then but I listen to Opie And Anthony almost every day! Opie is a huge PJ fan and loves PJ Radio. Ant likes PJ but does rip on them in good fun and does a good Vedder impression. Opie And Anthony! 202!

Raineman311 · January 2011

Howard has always been a big PJ fan, hes said so many times in the past.

flynnie821 · January 2011

i remember that howard was pissed that pearl jam went on cane and cabbies show...this is what i found on google about it...if anyone can find the link(if there is one)from cane and cabbies show or howards show that day

Howard Goofs On Bernie Kopell. An excerpt from the MarksFriggin.com Archives reads:
9/20/02. 7:55am
Howard spent a few minutes killing some time because actor Bernie Kopell hadn't called in yet. He talked about last night's ''Survivor'' and how he likes it already. He seems to think the show is holding up just fine.
Howard took a call about the upcoming ''It's Just Wrong'' game next week. Earlier this week they played the game where couples compete against each other and end up stripping down. Howard said next week the couples will be only brother and sister couples. He said that's really just wrong. He said the grand prize will be $10,000!

Howard mentioned what he had planned for Bernie Kopell who was the doctor on ''The Love Boat.'' Howard said he was going to take the questions that Cane and Cabbie asked Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam earlier this week and use them for his interview with Bernie. He rehearsed it for a little while but Bernie didn't call in when he was supposed to. One listener got pissed that Howard was still talking about the Cane and Cabbie thing so Howard said he should just stick with it because it would be good.

Bernie called in about 25 minutes late. Howard's first question was one of the Cane and Cabbie questions and it was about what he's thinking about these days. Bernie said he wasn't worried all that much, he's just dealing with his 2 year old child. He's 69 years old. Howard continued to ask Bernie the questions that Cane and Cabbie asked Eddie Vedder and Bernie answered them like they were normal questions. Bernie did seem to skirt around the actual questions Howard was asking and he had plenty to say. Howard even threw in the questions that Cane and Cabbie took from some e-mails they got. They had nothing to do with Bernie but he still answered them. Bernie kept getting back to his kids and would talk about them until Howard would interrupt him. Bernie was taking it all pretty well even though the questions seemed to confuse him a little bit. Howard gave Bernie a plug for a movie called ''Blood Head'' which is coming this fall. Bernie also mentioned some resort called Festiva and gave a phone number for it 1-877-8FUNFUN.

After getting off the phone Howard said he felt bad goofing on the guy like that. He seemed to be a fan of Howard's and the questions threw him off. Howard said he wished he could interview the guy again to do a real interview. At one point Bernie mentioned that his best friend is Grant Tinker which Howard just blew off at the time. He said he'd like to talk to him about that stuff. Stuttering John came in and said that he thinks it's funnier just to leave it the way they left it and not interview him again.

One woman called in and said that Howard is just jealous about Cane and Cabbie's interview with Pearl Jam. Howard said he actually feels sorry for Cane and Cabbie because they were restrained from asking the band certain questions and they had to treat Eddie Vedder like he was the President or something.

Howard spent a few minutes talking about this teacher who recently got jail time for having sex with her 15 year old student. Howard said he thinks she did the kid a favor and the kid is probably thrilled. He said he wished one of his teachers would have done that to him when he was in school because he would have had more confidence in himself. Robin seemed to think he was nuts and this is just wrong for a teacher to do.

I love howard and i love pearl jam by now im sure most have seen the PJ20 Movie Promo by mike . I think this would be an excellant time to bring the boys in to promote the upcomimg movie and tell some pj20 stories and let Howard do what he does. He's a great interviewer

VinylGirl · January 2011

Regarding the Cane & Cabbie interview,I remember getting annoyed at Howard the way he kept saying, "poor Cane, what's he gonna ask Eddie? They're not gonna get anything out of those guys". He said that all week leading up to the interview.

Thank Fred for all the PJ during the show. I love Howard, but his music knowledge can be lacking & he definitely doesn't keep up with the new stuff. I think there's a good chance Cameron Crowe shows up on Howard when he's out promoting the movie & book. And even though I'd love it, I don't think PJ is coming on anytime soon.

PJ88 · January 2011

I can't see it being a great interview. May have lots of those dead air pauses.

StuffnJunk · January 2011

i remember back in 1996, Howard ripping this apart the day after:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHEYs0CMe4U

howard just kinda asked the obvious question - if it doesn't mean anything, why are you there?? and saying eddie was trying hard to seem tortured and all that kind of stuff, and that he was so nervous he almost scratched a hole in his head...and i remember he made fun of mike for sounding like a high school kid when he took the mic

i also remember hearing that howard played almost all of No Code on his show right before it was released, and i was kicking myself for missing that! this was back before the Internet took off and we had things like leaked tracks, kids...

PJ88 · January 2011

Wasn't Eddie Vedder on the show with Dennis Rodman at one point. I want to remember that he was.

He's a great interviewer because he will ask any question, but too often he goes the sex question route when a lot of times there are much more interesting things to ask the person. He cuts people off too. The Steven Tyler interview last week was interesting, but Tyler was about to tell a story about how he and Joe Perry write the setlist and Howard went onto a completely different topic. I don't listen to his interviews much anymore unless it is someone I really like. I love the other aspects of the show, the interplay with the staff.
