Pearl Jam is an American alternative rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1990. The original incarnation of Pearl Jam included bassist Jeff Ament, guitarists Stone Gossard and Mike McCready, vocalist Eddie Vedder, and drummer Dave Krusen. This line-up recorded Pearl Jam's debut studio album, ''Ten''. Three months before the album was released, Krusen left the band in May 1991.〔Greene, Jo-Ann. "Pearl Jam and the Secret History of Seattle Part 2". ''Goldmine''. August 1993〕 Krusen was replaced by Matt Chamberlain, who had previously played with Edie Brickell & New Bohemians. After playing only a handful of shows, one of which was filmed for the "Alive" video, Chamberlain left to join the ''Saturday Night Live'' band. As his replacement, Chamberlain suggested Dave Abbruzzese, who joined the group and played the rest of Pearl Jam's live shows supporting the ''Ten'' album. The band then recorded the studio albums ''Vs.'', released in 1993, and ''Vitalogy'', released in 1994. Although Abbruzzese performed on the album ''Vitalogy'', he was fired in August 1994, four months before the album was released.〔Weisbard, Eric, et al. "Ten Past Ten". ''Spin''. August 2001.〕 The band cited political differences between Abbruzzese and the other members; for example, he disagreed with the Ticketmaster boycott.〔 He was replaced by Jack Irons, a close friend of Vedder and the former drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.〔 Irons' first recording with the band was "Hey Foxymophandlemama, That's Me" for ''Vitalogy''. He drummed on the Pearl Jam/Neil Young collaborations ''Mirror Ball'' and ''Merkin Ball'', both released in 1995, and the Pearl Jam studio albums ''No Code'', released in 1996, and ''Yield'', released in 1998. That same year, prior to Pearl Jam's U.S. Yield Tour, Irons left the band due to dissatisfaction with touring. Pearl Jam enlisted former Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron as Irons' replacement on an initially temporary basis,〔 but he soon became an official member of the band. With Cameron, Pearl Jam has released the studio albums ''Binaural'' in 2000, ''Riot Act'' in 2002, ''Pearl Jam'' in 2006, ''Backspacer'' in 2009, and ''Lightning Bolt'' in 2013. In 2002, the band brought in organist Boom Gaspar as an additional member. Gaspar has appeared on the studio albums ''Riot Act'', ''Pearl Jam'', and ''Lightning Bolt'' in addition to touring with the band. ==Current members== ;Eddie Vedder :Active: 1990–present :Instruments: lead vocals :Occasional instruments: rhythm guitar, harmonica, tambourine, ukulele, accordion :Release contributions: all Pearl Jam releases :Eddie Vedder was a member of the original band formed in 1990.〔 ;Mike McCready :Active: 1990–present :Instruments: lead guitar, backing vocals :Release contributions: all Pearl Jam releases :Mike McCready was a member of the original band formed in 1990.〔 ;Stone Gossard :Active: 1990–present :Instruments: rhythm guitar, backing vocals :Occasional instruments: lead guitar, bass :Release contributions: all Pearl Jam releases :Stone Gossard was a member of the original band formed in 1990.〔 ;Jeff Ament :Active: 1990–present :Instruments: bass, backing vocals :Occasional instruments: upright bass :Release contributions: all Pearl Jam releases :Jeff Ament was a member of the original band formed in 1990.〔Erlewine, Stephen Thomas.
