Pearl Jam's rejection of rock stardom, their increasingly idiosyncratic records and Vedder's emerging role as an advocate for progressive causes have cost them casual fans; their last album sold one tenth of what their debut did. Does this worry Vedder? Guess. "If we can survive and play music and put out records and play live shows, and live our lives as family members, community members and friends-that's the goal," he says. "If we're able to do it within this industry, that's even better. It could even be a sign that the industry isn't too polluted."

In the fall of 2000, after wrapping it up with Motley Crue, Pearl sang a duet with singer songwriter James Michael, which was co-written and produced with Motley Crue founder and bassist Nikki Sixx. The song, titled "Man of Steel", was submitted to Meat Loaf for consideration for use on his next album, Couldnt Have Said It Better. In separate statements, both Nikki Sixx and Meat Loaf confirmed that the song would be used on the album and was recorded in April/May 2001 as a duet between Meat and Pearl. The album was released in 2003 and Man Of Steel was a big hit among the fans and on the charts.

About mid-year, Pearl Jam's "Ten" displaced Nirvana's "Nevermind" as the Greatest Rock Album and never looked back. "Ten," released just prior to Nirvana's landmark album, eventually sold more copies than "Nevermind." For the first time, AC/DC's "Black In Black" made the list landing at #3, behind "Nevermind."
