If there's one thing Bill Burr is known for, it's giving his unfiltered opinion on absolutely anything and everything. He's made a career out of complaining, with multiple Netflix comedy specials under his belt. In an April appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, the F Is For Family star ranted and raved about a variety of things, from the Yankees to heart attacks to his distaste for one particular '90s rock band.
During the interview, Meyers brought up an altercation he witnessed at the Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary concert between Burr and Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder. "Did you mend fences with [him]?" the former Weekend Update host asked. "It seemed like a one-sided issue you had with [him]."
"[Pearl Jam] was the band that made me realize my youth was over," Burr explained. After growing up with over-the-top hair metal in the '80s, he had a hard time adjusting to the mellowed out grunge that dominated the '90s. "All my bands, Skid Row and all of them were gone, and it was just these sad guys singing about being under a bridge and not being happy," he said in his thick Boston accent. "What happened to 'Nothin' But a Good Time' and ignoring all your problems with cocaine?"
So when Burr sat next to Vedder at the SNL anniversary, he made sure to make his feelings known. "[I told him], 'I hated your band! You ended my thing.'" While perhaps an out of pocket thing to say to a stranger, Burr insists the "Jeremy" singer was "cracking up." He continued, "I [said], 'Do you know how long it took me to admit how good of a band Pearl Jam is?' Because now I love them, but it was like 20 years where I was like, 'I'm not listening to those guys.'"
If it took Burr 20 years to come around to Pearl Jam, maybe 20 years from now he'll come around to Taylor Swift.
