Jeff Ament

Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament has enjoyed a pretty good career playing bass for one of rock's most successful bands, but that wasn't always his chosen career path. The musician tells ESPN that he had hopes of enjoying a sports career at a young age, but he began to see the writing on the wall in college.

Pearl Jam are working on a new album, but still really don't have a timeline on when fans can expect it. Bassist Jeff Ament tells Guerilla Candy that even though the band has made some headway, there's still a long way to go before it's complete and there's no rush to finish it.
