Bill Burr Confronts Eddie Vedder Over Past 'Hatred' at SNL50

During a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, comedian Bill Burr shared a humorous confession about his past disdain for Pearl Jam, revealing that he 'hated' the band for over 20 years. He explained that Pearl Jam's rise marked the end of the hair metal era he loved, causing him to feel that his youth was over. Burr recounted his encounter with Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder at the SNL50 event, where he candidly told Vedder about his long-standing dislike, which he has since reversed, now appreciating their music. He humorously noted that it took him two decades to admit Pearl Jam's greatness and expressed joy that his children are fans of AC/DC. The comedian's reflections highlight the cultural shift from hair metal to grunge in the early '90s and his personal journey through that transition.
