    Pearl Jam to play SNL April 15th

    No link, there was a posting on the record label site for a brief time, but it was removed because the band hasn't officially announced it, nor has SNL/NBC.

    Hope they get 3 songs like their last appearance, and U2 did in November '04. And they better not be censored when I see them here on the west coast.
    I drive a 2005 Toyota Prius Gas/Electric Hybrid. My last tank was 53.6 miles/gallon. Gas prices fear me!

      As much as it pains me to say it, Pearl Jam simply isn't relevent enough to warrant three songs from SNL. Also, keep in mind their '94 performance when they got three songs was the week after Kurt's death. I'm sure that played a big hand in the decision to let them play "Daughter" at the end of the show, as well as RVM and "Not For You" in the normal musical performance slots.

        SNL this season has let some of the artists play one of their old songs.

        If Pearl Jam gets the thumbs up, I hope Jeremy is performed.

              I'm sorry you felt obligated to suggest that PJ should perform an overplayed song like "Jeremy" if they were given the opportunity to pick an older song for SNL.

                That's my favorite PJ song, so that's the one I would want to hear

                  I'd rather see them do a cover.

                    Much like SNL, Pearl Jam's best days are well behind them. Hopefully they play some stuff off Ten or Vs.

                          World Wide Suicide(the current single) and Unemployed(the next single, it is on iTunes now). They won't get 3 songs, no reason for them to play three. They want to promote the new album so I don't see them playing any old stuff.

                          Hopefully the make a guest spot in a skit, but doubtful. Should be fun to see, they are still a potent live band.

                            You guys must've not been old enough during Pearl Jam's time at the top to realize how relevent they really were and still are as far as modern rock is concerned.

                            They, along with Nirvana, brought grunge rock into the main stream and changed the way rock music was looked at by everyone.

                            I have remained a huge fan of PJ through the years and can't wait for this SNL episode.

                              Yeah, but I would LOVE to see them play something like "Fortunate Son" "Driven to Tears" "I Believe in Miracles" "Masters of War" "I Am a Patriot" "Rockin' in the Free World" or "Know Your Rights" in that 3rd slot.

                              They were awesome in that Sharon Stone skit back in '92.
