Kehidupan awal
Vedder was born Edward Louis SeversonÃ, III on the outskirts of Chicago, Evanston, Illinois, on December 23, 1964, to Karen Lee Vedder and Edward Louis Severson, Jr. His parents divorced in 1965, when Vedder was a baby. Her mother married again, with a man named Peter Mueller. Vedder grew up believing that Mueller was his biological father, and he went by the name of Edward Mueller for a while. Vedder's ancestry includes the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.
While living in Evanston, the Vedder family nurtured seven small children in the group house. In the mid-1970s, the family, including three younger Vedder's stepbrothers, moved to San Diego County, California. It was at this point that Vedder, who had received a guitar from his mother on his twelfth birthday, began switching to music (also surfing) as a source of comfort. He especially found entertainment on The Who's 1973 album, Quadrophenia. He said, "When I was around 15 or 16... I felt alone... I was alone - except for music." Her mother and Mueller divorced when Vedder was a teenager. Her mother and brother moved back to the Chicago area, but Vedder stayed with her stepfather in California so she did not have to move to high school.
After the divorce, Vedder learns the truth about his ancestors: Mueller is really his stepfather. Vedder had met his biological father briefly as a child, but believed that Severson was just an old friend of his parents. By the time Vedder learned the truth, Severson died of multiple sclerosis. In his final year at San Dieguito High School, Vedder himself, lived in an apartment and supported himself with a night job at a drugstore in Encinitas. He finally dropped out of high school in his senior year because of the pressure of balancing school with work. She joins the rest of her family in Chicago, and this is when she changed her name to Eddie Vedder, Vedder being her maiden name.
In the early 1980s, while working as a servant, Eddie grabbed his high school GED, and briefly attended a community lecture near Chicago. In 1984, Vedder returned to San Diego, with his girlfriend, Beth Liebling and his friend Frank. He kept busy recording demo tapes at his home and worked various jobs, including a position as a contracted security guard at La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla. Vedder has several assignments in San Diego area bands, including Surf and Destroy and The Butts. One of the bands, called Indian Style, included Rage Against the Machine in the future and Audioslave drummer Brad Wilk. In 1988, Vedder became the lead vocalist for the progressive rock funk band San Diego, Bad Radio. The music of the band's original incarnations was influenced by Duran Duran; However, after Vedder joined Bad Radio, the band moved to an alternative rock sound influenced by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Dog Temple
In the 1980s he worked part-time as a night clerk at a local gas station. Through the Southern California music scene, Vedder meets former Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons, who is a friend of Vedder and will play basketball with him. Then in 1990, Irons gave him a demo tape from a band in Seattle, Washington, who was looking for a singer. He listened to the tape just before surfing, where the lyrics came to him. Vedder wrote the lyrics for three songs in what he later described as "mini-opera" titled Momma-Son . The songs tell the story of a young man who, like Vedder, knew that he had been lied to about his father and that his real father had died, grew into a serial killer, and was eventually imprisoned and sentenced to death. Vedder recorded vocals for three songs, and sent a demo tape back to Seattle. The three songs then became Pearl Jam's "Alive", "Once", and "Footsteps".
After hearing the recording of Vedder, former members of Mother Love Bone, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament invited Vedder to come to Seattle to audition for their new band. They were instantly impressed by his unique voice. At the time, Gossard and Ament were working on the Temple of the Dog project founded by Soundgarden's Chris Cornell as a musical award for frontman Mother Love Bone, Andrew Wood, who died of a heroin overdose at the age of 24. Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron and newcomer Mike McCready is also part of this project. The song "Hunger Strike" became a duet between Cornell and Vedder. Cornell then said of Vedder that "he sang half of the song did not even know that I wanted that part to be there and he sang it exactly as I thought about doing it, just instinctively." Vedder will provide background vocals on some other songs as well. In April 1991, Temple of the Dog was released via A & amp; M Records. "Hunger Strike" became the Temple of the Dog's breakout; it was also Vedder's first lead vocal on the recording. Vedder says about the song in 2009 book Grunge Is Dead ; "I really like hearing that song, I feel like I can be really proud of that song - because one, I did not write it, and two, it's a great way to be escorted to vinyl for the first time. Chris [Cornell] time immortal for being invited to the track. "On the 2011 documentary Pearl Jam Twenty , Vedder states; "It was the first time I ever heard myself on a real recording, it could be one of my favorite songs I've played - or the most meaningful." Vedder and Cornell sang the song together for the last time on October 26, 2014 at Bridge School Benefit.
Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam was formed in 1990 by Ament, Gossard, and McCready, who subsequently recruited Vedder and three different drummers in quick succession. The band originally took the name of Mookie Blaylock, but was forced to change it when the band signed to Epic Records in 1991 instead of calling their debut album Ten , after the Blaylock jersey number.
Ten brought the band to the mainstream, and became one of the best-selling alternative albums of the 1990s, becoming 13x certified Platinum. The band finds itself amid the sudden popularity and attention given to the Seattle music scene and the genre known as grunge. The single "Jeremy" received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Song and Best Hard Rock Performance in 1993. Pearl Jam received four awards at the 1993 MTV Video Music Awards for his music video for "Jeremy", including Video of the Year and Best Video Group. Ten ranked number 207 on Rolling Stone's magazine list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, and "Jeremy" was ranked number 11 on the VH1 list of the 100 greatest songs of the 90s.
After a hectic tour schedule, the band went into the studio to record what would be their second studio album, Vs. , released in 1993. Upon release, Vs. arranged the recording at the time for most copies of the album sold in a week, and spent five weeks at number one on Billboard 200. Vs. was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 1995. From Vs. , the song "Daughter" received a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance by Duo or Group with Vocals and the song "Go" received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance.
Feeling the pressure of success, with much of the burden of Pearl Jam's popularity falling on Vedder, the band decided to lower the promotional rate for the album, including refusing to release music videos. Vedder's problem with fame comes from what he claims to be "what happens when many of these people start thinking you can change their lives or save their lives or whatever and create this impossible fucking hope that has finally just torn apart You." In 1994, the band embarked on a much-publicized boycott of Ticketmaster, which lasted for three years and limited the band's ability to tour in the United States. Vedder confronted what he called a "pretty stalker problem" during the mid-1990s. Vedder will refer to the problem in the song "Lukin" from No Code .
Later that same year the band released their third studio album, Vitalogy , which became the band's third straight album to achieve multi-platinum status. It was at this time that Vedder began to show more on rhythm guitar, also on back up vocals and some drums. The pressure of fame is a common theme of Vedder's songs on the album. The album received a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year and Best Rock Album in 1996. Vitalogy was ranked number 492 on the magazine's list of the greatest-ever Rolling Stone magazine's 500 albums. The main single "Spin the Black Circle" won a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Hard Rock Performance. Although Dave Abbruzzese appeared on the album Vitalogy , he was fired in August 1994, four months before the album was released. The band cites political differences between Abbruzzese and other members; for example, he does not agree with the Ticketmaster boycott. He was replaced by Jack Irons, a close friend of Vedder and former drummer of the original Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Regarding the approach taken Pearl Jam after its initial success, Vedder stated, "We have the luxury of writing our own job descriptions... and the description has basically been cut into just one line: make music." The band then released No Code in 1996 and Yield in 1998. In 1998, before Pearl Jam's U.S. Yield Tour, Irons left the band due to dissatisfaction with the tour. Pearl Jam asked former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron as a temporary replacement for Irons, but he soon became a permanent replacement for Irons. "Do the Evolution" (from Yield ) received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance. In 1998, Pearl Jam recorded "Last Kiss", a 1960s ballad cover made famous by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers. The album was released in 1998 fans of a single-band Christmas club; however, with a popular demand, the cover was released to the public as a single in 1999. "Last Kiss" reached number two on the Billboard charts and became the band's highest single.
In 2000, the band released their sixth studio album, Binaural, and started a series of successful and sustainable official boguses. The band released seventy-two live albums such as in 2000 and 2001, and set a record for most albums to debut on Billboard 200 at the same time. "Complaints" (from Binaural ) received a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance. The band released their seventh studio album, Riot Act, in 2002. Pearl Jam's contribution to the 2003 movie Big Fish, titled "Man of the Hour," was nominated for the Golden Globe Award in 2004. The band's eighth studio album, the eponymous Pearl Jam, was released in 2006. The band released their ninth studio album, Backspacer, in 2009 and a studio album tenth, Lightning Bolt , in 2013.
Vedder uses the pseudonym "Jerome Turner" on Pearl Jam's note for his non-musical contributions such as design and artwork. He also uses the pseudonym "Wes C. Addle" ("West Seattle").

In 2005, during Pearl Jam's first South American tour, Vedder stated, for the direct and vigorous support of the crowd in Rio de Janeiro, that "the next time we come to Brazil, the world will be a better place to live, like George Bush.

The style and influence of music
Critics Jim DeRogatis described vedder vedder as "vocal roar of Jim Morrison". Greg Prato of AllMusic said, "With his hard-to-understand and baritone lyrical style Jim Morrison-esque, Vedder is also one of the most widely-watched singers in all rocks." Vedder has appointed The Doors, Neil Young, the Ramones, and R.E.M. into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in his or her speech he mentions them all as an influence. Other influences mentioned by Vedder include Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, The Who, Pink Floyd, The Jackson 5, The Beatles, Frank Zappa, Tom Petty and Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Fugazi, Tom Waits, Kwik Lewis, Bob Dylan, and Pixies.
Vedder was deeply inspired by Jethro Tull's early sound, stating that: "I'm a big fan of Jethro Tull, and I listen to this recording Stand-Up every night before I go onstage!"
Vedder's lyrics range from personal ("Alive", from "Better Man", from Vitalogy to social and political issues ("Even Flow", from > Ten ; "World Wide Suicide", from Pearl Jam ). The lyrics are often used for storytelling and include themes of freedom, individualism, and sympathy for troubled individuals. Other recurring themes include the use of water metaphors, as well as the idea of ​​leaving everything behind to start again (shown in songs like "Rearviewmirror", from Vs. ; "MFC", from Yield Evacuation, from binaural and Gone from Pearl Jam.
Though best known as a vocalist, Vedder also plays guitar on many Pearl Jam songs, starting with Vs. songs "Rearviewmirror" and "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town". When the band started, Gossard and McCready were clearly appointed as rhythm and lead guitarists, respectively. The dynamics began to change as Vedder began to play more rhythm guitar during the Vitalogy era. McCready said in 2006, "Even though there are three guitars, I think there might be more room now, the rock will pull back and play a two-note line and Ed will do a power chord, and I fit in with it." Playing Vedder guitars helps the band's progress towards a more stripped style; the songs "Rearviewmirror" and "Corduroy" (from Vitalogy ) feature a raw and punk-influenced Vedder guitar. Because he was more influential on the band's sound, Vedder tried to make the band's music output less attractive. He said, "I feel that with the growing popularity, we will be destroyed, our heads will erupt like grapes." He has also contributed performances on ukulele, harmonica, accordion, and electric sitar to various Pearl Jam recordings. In 2012, his black Fender Telecaster is featured in a painting by modern artist Karl Haglund.

During the early part of Pearl Jam's career, Vedder was known to ride the stage lighting rigs and hang from the roof of the stage.

It came from just left out of the gate. "
