Si è aperto ad Amsterdam, la sera del 27 maggio, il tour solista europeo di Eddie Vedder - frontman dei Pearl Jam.

Si è trattato di una performance molto connotata emotivamente e Vedder, ancora profondamente scosso per il suicidio dell'amico Chris Cornell, pur non nominandolo mai nel corso dell'esibizione, ha dato la netta impressione che ogni pezzo e ogni pensiero fossero dedicati proprio a lui, l'amico scomparso.

In un particolare momento Vedder ha detto:

Stasera penso a molte persone. In particolare ad alcune e alle loro famiglie. So che ci vuole tempo per guarire le ferite, se mai può accadere. Ci vuole tempo e quindi da qualche parte dobbiamo pur cominciare. Facciamolo dalla musica. Dall'amore e dalla voglia di stare insieme. Facciamo così, Amsterdam.

Spaccavano ancora di brutto brutto brutto eh

Performance straordinaria. Per altro Cornell che canta e suona contemporaneamente quei riff... non è facile
Quel che è successo resta inspiegabile. Forse un esaurimento nervoso recente.

Verissimo.
Bellina la scaletta peraltro.

L'evento non mi ha scosso visto che non ho mai seguito il personaggio, però sui Soundgarden sono tornato visto che il periodo è favorevole. Con i primi caldi seri le chitarre tornano ad avere un'utilità. Almeno con Superunknown e canzoni sparse ormai ho fatto pace, mentre la discografia nella sua interezza, dopo averla ascoltata con le orecchie di oggi, non mi interessa.

Poi ho riascoltato con profitto anche Temple of the Dog, uno dei primi dischi della scena che mi passarono e che non avevo proprio le chiavi per apprezzare all'epoca.

E i Pearl Jam che boh, a me proprio continuano a non piacere, per me restano troppo lineari e il loro rock non è proprio nulla di speciale, anzi, molto classico e conservatore, ribelle per finta. La voce di Vedder poi manco mi piace.

Da estraneo alla scena (nel senso che non l'ho vissuta), per me gli Stone Temple Pilots nel complesso restano meglio di questi qui.

intanto confermato che droghe e ansiolitici non c'entrano: si è "semplicemente" e volutamente suicidato. D'altronde, per suicidarti per impiccagione ci vuole molta coscienza e forza.

Eddie Vedder:

Sometimes it’s hard to concentrate these days. I was thinking about the history of this building and the Bowie history. So I started to think about that and my mind began to wander. It’s not a good…

So I haven’t really been talking about some things and I kind of… now it feels like it’s conspicuous because I lost a really close friend of mine, somebody who…

I’ll say this too, I grew up as four boys, four brothers, and I lost my brother two years ago tragically like that in an accident. After that and losing a few other people, I’m not good at it, meaning I’m not…I have not been willing to accept the reality and that’s just how I’m dealing with it.

So I want to be there for the family, be there for the community, be there for my brothers in my band, certainly the brothers in his band. But these things will take time, but my friend is going to be gone forever and I will just have to…

These things take time and I just want to send this out to everyone who was affected by it, and they all back home and here appreciate it so deeply, the support and the good thoughts of a man who was a … he wasn’t just a friend, he was someone I looked up to like my older brother.

About two days after the news, I think it was the second night, we were sleeping in this little cabin near the water, a place he would’ve loved. And all these memories started coming in about 1:30AM, like woke me up. Like big memories, memories I would think about all the time. Like the memories were big muscles.

And then I couldn’t stop the memories. And trying to sleep, it was like if the neighbors had the music playing and you couldn’t stop it. But then it was fine, because then it got into little memories. It just kept going and going and going. And I realized how lucky I was to have hours worth of…you know, if each of these memories was quick, and I had hours of them. How fortunate was I? And I didn’t want to be sad, I wanted to be grateful, not sad. I’m still thinking about those memories, and I will live with those memories in my heart and I will love him forever.
