Eddie Vedder on Kurt Cobain

Eddie Vedder says Kurt Cobain did not understand Pearl Jam at the time, but that they became friends and he believes Cobain would have come round.

Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder has said that he thinks Kurt Cobain just didn't understood his band when he accused them of "pioneering a corporate, alternative and cock-rock fusion", but that he'd have come round to them, had he lived.

Vedder told The Sun: "I don't think Kurt understood us at the time, but we became friends and I'm glad we had some of the great conversations we had, that I'm always going to keep up here".

He continued: "I don't talk too much about him in respect to Krist and Dave and I know he said that early stuff about not liking us. But there's a couple of complimentary things that he said in public about me as a human being, which I'm proud exist. But if Kurt were around today, I know he'd say to me, 'Well, you turned out OK'".
