Pearl Jam: The More You Need - The Less You Get

by Henrik Tuxen

Overview

"We never wanted anyone to write the official band biography, and we still feel that way. But if you choose to write your own interpretations, based upon all the things that we have experienced together and about what has happened, I would like to participate in any way that I can. I think that would be an interesting read and an important story to tell." - Stone Gossard. This is Tuxen's alternative Pearl Jam biography including photos from private collections, but many, including the cover photo, were provided courtesy of Pearl Jam.

About the Author

Since 1996, rock journalist Henrik Tuxen has penned nearly 100 cover stories for Denmark's leading music magazine, Gaffa, in addition to countless personal conversations and interviews with Pearl Jam, many of which were subsequently translated and used in the band's official press materials. Also a musician himself, Tuxen was the bassist and backing vocalist in the band Sharing Patrol. His other books include a biography of the Danish rock band Kashmir and a retrospective of 40 years of rock in Denmark. Danish rock musician and journalist Henrik Tuxen has followed Pearl Jam since the very beginnings of the Seattle scene of the early 90s and has known the band personally since 1996 as a fan, friend and journalist. He later became a liaison between the band and many of the nine families who lost a child during the band's concert at Denmark's Roskilde Festival on June 30, 2000, which Tuxen witnessed from the stage. Now Tuxen generously shares previously unpublished interviews, photos, insights and personal anecdotes of his firsthand interactions with the band. This is Tuxen's alternative Pearl Jam biography including photos from private collections, but many, including the cover photo, were provided courtesy of Pearl Jam. This US edition is translated by Michael Lee Burgess. Translation from Danish to English was made possible by the support of Roskilde Festival Charity Society.
