PEARL JAM's EDDIE VEDDER Shoots First Solo Video

January 4, 2008

The Pulse of Radio reports that PEARL JAM frontman Eddie Vedder has shot a video for "Guaranteed", according to Billboard.com. The song, which is nominated for both a Grammy and a Golden Globe Award, is from Vedder's collection of solo tunes that served as the soundtrack for the movie "Into the Wild". The clip will premiere on VH1 and VH1.com at 6 a.m. ET on Monday (January 7). It marks Vedder's first solo appearance in a video and features footage of him performing, interspersed with scenes from the film.

Vedder's footage was shot in three hours by director Marc Rocco.

PEARL JAM has made very few videos in its career, which makes a solo Vedder clip even more of a rarity.

The track is up for a Golden Globe for best original song and a Grammy for best song written for a motion picture.

"Into the Wild", which opened in theatres last fall, was directed by Sean Penn and based on the true story of a young man who left his family behind to live in the Alaskan wilderness.
