Bill Burr has revealed that he told Pearl Jam‘s Eddie Vedder that he once hated his band at Saturday Night Live‘s recent 50th anniversary show.Burr was the latest guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers to promote his Broadway debut in a stage production of Glengarry Glen Ross, where he stars alongside Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk and Michael McKean.Burr – whose recent music-related news involved the revelation that he might be half-brothers with Billy Corgan – told Meyers that, whenever he’s not needed on stage during each showtime, he retreats to his dressing room to practice AC/DC and Led Zeppelin songs on an electronic drum kit.Meyers, who was also present at SNL50, asked Burr if he “mended fences” with Vedder over a “one-sided issue” he had towards the grunge band.As a hair metal fan in his teens, the arrival of Pearl Jam was admittedly not welcomed by the comedian: “Pearl Jam, that was the band that made me realize my youth was over,” Burr told Meyers.“And then Nirvana came in, and I was like, ‘What’s this?’ They always say, like, Nirvana knocked [the hair metal] out. It was Pearl Jam.
