That's not to say Eddie's never done anything malicious. But he never grabbed power for power's sake. His position was gained only because he has that energy, and that's naturally where he ended up.

It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.

I'm in a rock band - I don't have a day job! I am spoiled... a lot.

My methodology is not knowing what I'm doing and making that work for me.

We may take breaks and do other things, but we feel we'll ultimately have Pearl Jam as a family.

Dave played an important part in our growing, but change occurs.

Every year is filled with good times and fights and struggles and misunderstandings. All of it adds up to being in a band over a long time.
