“As much melody as you have,” Bruce said, “I still hear the punk and even a certain sort of metal influence on some of the songs. Who influenced you in that part of your music?” Vedder lists The Beatles, The Who, The Band as well as Bruce himself but also mentions Split Enz, Talking Heads, Fugazi, Sonic Youth and more. Additionally, the full special sees the musicians talking about the illustrious guests Vedder has on Earthling including Stevie Wonder, Ringo Starr, Elton John and producer Andrew Watt.
