I can't get the damn insta code to work.

You need to enter the address exactly as shown when mousing over the "insta" button in the "post a reply" screen.

In this case, you need to delete both the "s" which follows the http and the "www", i.e.:

Ah, the www was the only thing I didn't try.

So this guy a few blocks away who occasionally flies a PJ flag in his front yard and was wearing a “Doesn’t get any better than Eddie Vedder” t-shirt when we trick or treated his house on Halloween had his garage door open yesterday when I drove by and there is a neon Pearl Jam sign in there glowing away...

I may have found a drum set buyer.

I can't believe the 10C shop hasn't already exploited capitalized on these.

This fan interview with "Rob Rule" (Robbie Allen - former RHCP touring guitarist/roadie) contains a few Pearl Jam references:

You seem to have managed a great deal with your own project, Thermadore. You released the Monkey in Rio, with the participation of two great drummers: Chad Smith and Josh Freese [Devo, Guns N ‘Roses, Nine Inch Nails], and also Pearl Jam’s founding guitarist, Stone Gossard.

"In my music career, I’ve been really blessed with great drummers. I know what a good drummer is, I love them, I play drums and I love it. And I played in a band with Jack Irons after a while, too! I played with many, many amazing fucking drummers. I was making that Thermadore record, and they kind of recorded with everyone at that time. Stone [Gossard] came in and did a song, too. I met Stone on their [Pearl Jam] first tour with the [Red Hot Chili] Peppers. He was just a kid, just like me, and we became best friends, basically. We would play guitar and hang out and travel together and stuff. When I got big he took me to Hawaii just to hang out. It was a really cool time. And that record was a lot fun to make. Chad [Smith] met Josh [Freese] when he was 17. He grew up in Long Beach, Orange Country. I ended up working for Josh for about five years ago. I worked with him on Sublime [With Rome], The Replacements and Devo."

After that you joined the Candlebox, which at the time also had Dave Krusen. He was Pearl Jam’s first drummer and he also played in another band that I like, Unified Theory, with the guys from Blind Melon.

"Yes! Dave Krusen is brilliant. And he worked with Shannon [Hoon, Blind Melon’s vocal]. Like I said, I’ve been blessed working with so amazing drummers. "

Last year, another former Pearl Jam drummer, Dave Abbruzzese, put on the web a recording of a jam he performed with John and Flea. I think Dave Rat recorded that. And you did some vocals on it.

"That was during Lollapalooza, there were all those great bands and we used to jam every day. We set up the drums, some amps, everybody just came and played all day long. There were numerous jams that did not get on tape, but everybody just played together constantly, it was really cool. With Josh [Freese] and Matt [Cameron] from Soundgarden .... We set up two kits and Chad and Matt would jam, just came and rock all day long."

You were in the middle of all these great 90's bands, how significant to you was to be there?

"It was everything, that was everything. That Lollapalooza tour was probably the greatest time I ever had in my life. It was so much fun, so much energy, so much of this breakthrough of these people, there was never anything like that and it probably never will be, it was madness and fun. Lollapalooza. And there were other tours around. Like the one with Pearl Jam and the Pumpkins, there were a bunch of tours like that, big tours, all those bands blowing up. I watched Pearl Jam go from nothing and it was just the band opening, and then the single from "Alive" came out and I saw everyone showing up early to see Pearl Jam. I watched them become this mega thing in the course of that. It was crazy time, wonderful time and amazing thing to see. "

I know that you have contact with many of those guys, like Josh Freese who you said worked on Sublime. I know you recorded some stuff with Mike McCready not so long time ago...

"Yes, we did something for a movie a TV show. We did stuff for " We Bought a Zoo"[Cameron Crowe's 2011 film] was a movie, we came in a studio, me and my partner worked. And we did somestuff for Hawaii Five-0 [TV series]. He gets these little ones crazy projects and I say “Okay, let's do that!”. [Laughs] "

But do you still have contact with any of the Chili Peppers guys?

"Not as much. Not as much as I do with Pearl Jam, for example. I can still call and say "hey how are you doing?". I saw Chad at the NAMM [Annual music equipment industry event]. But I really don't hang out there. It's a Hollywood thing, if you know what I mean. I live in Long Beach. "

There's more, but it's mainly RHCP-related (still interesting if you're a fan).

STEREOGUM: Then there was this sort of bizarre full-circle moment where Eddie Vedder, the guy Bradley Cooper had partially based his character off, winds up playing this song. Now I know at this point in your career, plenty of surreal things have happened, but you’re of the age where Eddie Vedder was like, one of the biggest names on the planet when you were a kid.

ISBELL: Oh, yeah, for sure. When Ten came out, I was 13, 14, something like that. I was playing guitar and learning all those parts. That record was a huge deal for me. And they’ve held up, they’re one of the rare rock bands that came around in that era and survived and nobody got all that tired of, which just speaks to the quality of the work. That was huge. I was jumping up and down when I heard him singing that song. Since then, I heard from Mike McCready, who’s a big fan of my songs, and we texted back and forth a little bit.

That was probably an even bigger deal for me, because Mike’s guitar parts were like a Bible for me as a kid. Honestly, it’s the first time I ever heard somebody play old guitars through big loud amps and have it played on the radio. Everyone up until then was playing pointy guitars or pastel ’80s guitars. Except for Slash, I gotta give Slash credit. He played his old Les Paul copy through the whole thing. But Pearl Jam was the first time I heard really Hendrix-sounding guitar tones on the radio every day and I thought, “Wow, you can still do that, people will still listen to that kind of rock ‘n’ roll music.”
