    I heard they wanted to call themselves RUNDMC, but that was already taken. So they settled for RaNDoM

    It started out as Random but then was changed to RNDM, saying each letter. like R.N.D.M. I'm sure they'd be happy you're asking too. :)

    Have a great week everyone.

    :(

    here I was thinking it was 'Random', when I went to the show, Jeff yelled at the autograph people, "I'm not signing anything Pearl Jam! Only Random stuff!"

    so I ran after him with my RNDM vinyl...

    I also swear Richard hinted towards a new album in 2014 on his FB, if I can find it I will post the link.

    I have always pronounced it Random…..mostly because I'm too lazy to pronounce each letter individually.

    It's 'Random".

    The album is called, "Acts"

    =

    Random Acts (of Violence)

    ....or kindness.

    Was there some big reason behind that? I can't imagine it was just "because".

    I would guess either legal reasons or it wasn't Google-friendly.

    I ran into Joseph Arthur at the Soundgarden show earlier this year and he pronounced it R.N.D.M.

    "Come take my hand, and let yourself rely.
    Don't hold your breath, don't close your eyes.
    I've learned to breath and I've learned to fly.
    I've learned to see and I know I'm going higher."

    At the Seattle show Ed mentioned someone wearing a 'random' hat. We have pronunciation confirmation from Ed himself :roll:

    Ed can't even pronounce the last name of the bassist for both bands correctly, so I'm not sure he's the expert. :lol:
