If we consider all of the death in so many iconic bands over the years, it is understandable that people might wonder if it's just "part of the deal" in the industry. Is it all run by some psychopathic cult which believes in "blood rituals" and "sacrifice?" Is there some kind of Black Magic involved and is that why so many popular bands reference Crowley, Satan, and other Demonic themes? Why do so many bands, even in the underground, use the "all seeing eye" of the Illuminati in their logos and images?
With all of this in mind, I looked at the major Seattle "grunge" bands of the early 90s and noticed that nobody in Pearl Jam had died. Now I certainly don't wish death upon them or anyone else! But I look at Eddy Veddar and I go, "hmmm he seemed really troubled early on. Troubled as any other singer of the era. And yet, here he is, still singing "Alive." And thank god! But then it hit me. Andrew Wood. He is the reason Pearl Jam exists in a way. Was HE the "sacrifice" for their fame?

Before getting into these occult symbols and themes, let's remember WHY this information is important. As the late Bill Cooper used to explain on his radio show "The Hour of the Time," it doesn't matter if YOU believe in any of this stuff. We are studying it because it's what THEY believe. And if we ever want to defeat the great enemy hiding in the shadows, we must understand how they think. When we can shine a light upon those dark corners, their crimes can no longer be done in secret, and their magick can be seen for what it is: a big fraud designed to give them control over us and hide their heinous acts. It is SECRECY which protects them, and that is why we must CONSTANTLY be lied to and decieved.
First, where does the name "Pearl Jam" come from? The most popular explanation is that Pearl was the name of Veddar's great grandmother, who made amazing jam. But according to wiki, "In a 2006 cover story for Rolling Stone, Vedder admitted that this story was "total bullshit", but added that he did have a great-grandmother named Pearl." So what is the real story? Apparently, it's a big secret...
If we assume the name "Pearl Jam" is nonsense, perhaps it contains an encoded message, via anagram. An anagram is a word or group of words formed out of another word or group of words. The rarest type of anagram is one that uses ALL of the letters in a particular word or phrase, to form a new one. It is even more rare for an anagram to correspond with the word/phrase it was formed from, such as "Mr Mojo Risin"[Jim Morrison]. With Pearl Jam, I came up with Reap Lam J.
Who is the LAM to be REAPED? If we are thinking it terms of sacrifice and blasphemy, my first thought was "Lamb of God," which would be [J]esus. Now coming from a warped, blasphemic, allegorical point of view, Andrew Wood could be seen as the "sacrificial Lam" that was made in order to form Pearl Jam. Now this is just a theory, but there is more corroborating it, as I will demonstrate later in the blog.
I'm going to discuss occult symbolism on the first Pearl Jam album, 10. But before doing that, we must take a look at the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and note a few things. The Kabbalistic Tree of Life comes out of Jewish mysticism. We don't really know how old it is, but it is integral to many Freemason Orders as well as Aleistar Crowley's magickal system and his Thoth Tarot deck.
1 is at the top and is called Kether or The Crown. This is part of the "supernal triad" of 1, 2, and 3 [forming a pyramid.] Notice the outline of a human body behind the tree. These 3 sephiroth reside at the upper most area of the head, signifying the highest level of spiritual consciousness, and is separated from the lower sephiroth by Daath, which is that "hidden" sephira between Kether and 6 or Tiphareth. 1 is obviously the "most high" and the idea is to strive for that supernal triad, or pyramid. But most of us reside within the lower levels, similar to the trapezoid sitting below the floating pyramid with 1 eye over it.
Note that the number 10 is located on the bottom. This represents the Earthly realm, and all things physical. If you notice the outline of a body behind this allegorical "Tree" you can see the legs or feet reside in "Malkuth" [Kingdom in Hebrew].
Lastly, we are looking at the 5th sephira, Geburah. Red for war, blood, courage, etc...5 fingers on the hand, 5 limbs of the body, 5 points of a pentagram. Now let's go back to the Pearl Jam album cover...
5 band members = Geburah = war, fighting, courage, RED background. All 5 members stand at the bottom of our metaphorical tree in Malkuth, or 10 [the album title]. All 5 "holding up" the eye of providence or "capstone" missing from the larger truncated pyramid [or trapezoid]. The idea that the large "A" represents a truncated pyramid is enforced by the 2 smaller "A's" which are lined up perfectly on the edges of the larger "A". Jeff Ament points upwards, expressing his allegiance to "the one" way at the top, which is the ALL SEEING EYE of the Illuminati. However, the entire band looks off into different directions, pretending publicly that this is NOT what they are doing. Meanwhile, the first song on the album is called "ONCE," which coincidentally has the word ONE in it!
The 2nd Pearl Jam album "Vs" was originally titled "5 against 1." Do you understand what that means symbolically now? The 5 band members decided to REBEL against the 1, and this is why we saw so many stories about friction within the band and Eddy Veddar's famous "I don't wanna be a rockstar" tantrums - which we also saw echoed in Kurt Cobain's narrative. This all culminated in Pearl Jam's legal war with Ticketmaster, which they eventually lost.
If we look at the lyrics to "Animal," which is probably Pearl Jam's most aggressive song to that date, we see the line "1, 2, 3, 4, 5 against 1" He's emphesizing the numbers because there is a MESSAGE there. But why did they change the title to Vs? V = Roman numeral 5! As far as the "s", my best guess is that it stands for SATAN. 5 against the 1. The Illuminati. Satan.
So what's with the album cover? According to wikipedia, it's a GOAT. Wiki cites a Spin magazing article, which does NOT quote Jeff Ament calling this animal a goat, but a SHEEP. A sheep is an adult LAMB. Reap Lam J. The sacrificial lamb is grown up, and it's trying to break out of it's metaphorical cage. The "animal" is the 5 band members. "I'd rather be with an animal" than be with the elites at the top?
[Pearl Jam's album "Lightening Bolt" features their beloved "All Seeing Eye," that so many oblivious fans will deny they are paying tribute to. Or perhaps they just don't care to make the connections because it will ruin their rock and roll fantasy?]
I admit there are times where I doubt all of this stuff and wonder if I am just losing my mind here. But then something like this comes along to re-enforce all of it. I'm talking about the 2022 film "Studio 666."
The film stars all members of Foo Fighters, including David Grohl and Pat Smear who were both in Nirvana when Kurt Cobain died. Pat Smear was also in the Germs back in the early 80s, who's singer also died. So that makes at least 3 bands Pat Smear was in which has/had band members who are now dead.
Notice in the above image how Dave Grohl's head is at the top of a vaguely pyramid-esque shape. The roles of the camera reel function a little like sephiroth. Are they saying that Grohl is at the top of their allegorical "supernal triad?"
In October 2019, the band announced that they were recording their tenth studio album based on demos by Grohl...By February 2020, Grohl announced that the new album was complete. In November 2021, it was reported that a film starring the Foo Fighters entitled Studio 666 had been shot in secret...Grohl recorded a whole album of heavy metal songs for the in-movie fictional band Dream Widow. The album was released on March 25, 2022, consisting of eight tracks. Studio 666 was released theatrically on February 25, 2022, by Open Road Films. The film held its world premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre on February 16, 2022...On March 25, 2022, Hawkins [drummer] died in his room at the Casa Medina hotel in Bogotá, Colombia. No cause of death was given. - Wiki
Ok, so let's break this down: Foo Fighters record their 10th studio album between October 2019 and February 2020. That's 4 months, not very long for a band this big. By November 2021, the band had also completed filming a movie [in secret]. "Studio 666" premiered on February 25th, 2022. Grohl released an ENTIRE ALBUM of music for the fictional band that appears in the film on March 25th 2022 - the SAME DAY Taylor Hawkin's died!
To summarize, Dave Grohl allegedly recorded 2 albums and a film between October 2019 and probably late 2021 [assuming the film was completed a couple months before the film was released, and that's being generous] That means Grohl did all of that within about 2 years. This is a band that typically release 1 album every 2-4 years. We could be generous and say that the Covid lockdown provided Grohl and company more time to get more accomplished. But look how they spent this time!
It is also worth noting that Foo Fighters claim they actually recorded their 10th album in the same house the movie was filmed. Wikipedia quotes Grohl stating the house seemed to be haunted, but Grohl later admitted he was lying about that just for effect. At what point does the audience acknowledge the obvious effort to convince them that the story in this film is the story in reality?
But let's just note something here - and maybe you are just along for the ride to see what "crazy theory" I'm gonna come up with next? Just look at how Hawkins was executed. The top of his head was seperated from the bottom. Remember this?
Observe again, the human head behind the "supernal triad" on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. A line goes directly through the head, a little higher than where Taylor Hawkin's head was severed in the film. So what does this represent if we assume the industry is run by an elite group that worships the illuminated eye at the top of the pyramid of life? It seems to me that Hawkins was rebelling and this was the cost of that rebellion. The film is sending a message to others that would rebel. It helps to look at this from the "Mafia" angle. You cross the wrong people, you pay with your life. And when they take your life, they will make an example of you to freak others out. That is the main purpose of this film, in my opinion. But that doesn't mean Hawkins wasn't chosen way in advance to be "sacrificed" anyway. It's impossible to know many thing for sure, but Hawkin's death was planned - and it seems they WANT us to know that.
Near the beginning of the film, the band is getting scolded by their manager for being slow in producing their 10th album. [note that Pearl Jam's first album is called "10"] We know that Foo Fighters typically take 2-4 years to complete an album, so they are not exactly known for their speed of production, although these days that is faster than many other bands at their level. Grohl says he wants to do something special for the album, that he want's to be like Led Zeppelin and get castles and devils and demons and wiizards involved. This is a reference to the fact that Zeppelin recorded in a castle once. The drums for "When the Levee Breaks," which was later sampled by Beastie Boys, was the result of one of these recordings. In fact, Jimmy Page was a known occultist, and even purchased a castle previously owned by Aleister Crowley.
The band manager then calls up his secretary and there is some sort of diabolical understanding that the band will use a particular house in Encino, CA to record their album. The secretary says something to the effect of "oh good, finally!" as if this was something they were waiting to do for many years. This is echoed towards the end of the film, when the manager re-appears dressed like some sort of Warlock and tells Dave Grohl "we've been waiting 20 years for this!" We know that Foo Fighter's released their 9th album "Concrete and Gold" in 2017. At that point, one can assume work on their 10th album would begin. 2017 was the 20 year mark for Hawkins officially joining the band. Was his "sacrifice" planned that far in advance and are they telling you so blatantly in the film?
This meeting concludes with Grohl announcing a "Pearl Jam high 5". This is obviously a nod to the first Pearl Jam album and the pose of the band on it. First, notice that Hawkins is the only one not touching the other hands. Pearl Jam has 5 members, Foo Fighters has 6, but only 5 are touching hands to form the "pyramid." Grohl then says "Jeremy has fuckin spoken!"
If Foo Fighter's 10th album represents the plan for a big ceremonial sacrifice, this scene makes a lot of sense. The "High 5" represents the band's agreement with "the plan" to complete an album who's climax will be the death of their drummer, reducing their number from 6 to 5. It also represents their allegience to "the one" or the all seeing eye of the Illuminati. The one that Pearl Jam seemed to rebel against during their "5 against 1" album. So really, this is re-enforcing just about every theory of mine regarding the first Pearl Jam album's cover and what it means! It also reveals the purpose of the film. To send a message to those in the industry who want to rebel: Show your allegiance to the 1 or we'll make an example out of you.
Also note that in the song "Jeremy," the chorus goes "Jeremy spoke in class today." Jeremy kills himself in front of the class, that is what is meant by "Jeremy spoke". So when Grohl quotes that lyric, he is saying that someone who spoke up is gonna die. Was Taylor Hawkins that person? The second time the "Pearl Jam high 5" occurs, Hawkins again does not touch any of the other hands, hinting that he is not in agreement with "the plan." Grohl then says something like, "yeah, I'm still alive!" which is a reference to another song on Pearl Jam's first album. According to Vedder, the lyrics to Alive speak about incest - which was probably part of his early experiences with trauma based mind control.
The "delivery guy" is played by Will Forte, who's name in the film is Darren Sandlebaum. Darren plays a musician trying to get his band's demo to Dave Grohl. He also bears a resemblence to a younger Lemmy Kilmister. If you look at the name Darren Sandlebaum, it contains 5 syllables. Lemmy Kilmister also contains 5 syllables. Now I believe there are many red herrings in this film, and this may be another. But given Darren's gruesome demise, the fact he is a musician, looks like Lemmy, same amount of syllables in the name - I feel like the film is saying something about Lemmy's death. We all know Lemmy was old and in bad shape, but that doesn't mean he wasn't murdered on December 28th, 2015. Are they telling us? There is at least 1 Motorhead song on the soundtrack, and it is "Stone Dead Forever."
In the film there is an annoying neighbor who ends up informing members of Foo Fighters about the curse of the house they are recording in. When they first meet her, Grohl asks her about the history of the house, and the neighber gets really wierd and says something like, "No Dave, I don't know what you're talking about" as she slowly disappears behind her yard fence. This is one of many Stanley Kubrick references. In this case, 2001: A Space Odyssey, where H.A.L. famously states "No Dave, I can't do that..." There are also parallels to the Shining. A house where people are murdered, then the murdurer's spirit enters the body of current occupants. "One Flew Over a Cuckoo's Nest" is also name dropped, another film starring Jack Nicholson and written by CIA asset Ken Kesey.
Another red herring involved Grohl's mentioning that the song will be in the key of L#. There is no key of L#, but if you count out L in the order it appears in the alphabet, you get 12. That would theoretically make L# a half step higher. Numerically, 12 1/2. Half a number shy of 13. This is the film letting us know that they realize who is watching it, and this is for people like me. I see this number and I go "hey look, it's ALMOST 13! That means something!" When in fact, it means nothing. It's nonsense designed to send people like me on a wild goose chase and make us look silly.
Another example that has a very Spinal Tap feel to it, is when Grohl demands Taylor Hawkins count the song off "5-6-7" instead of "1-2-3." That could be another reference to the "5 against 1" thing, but it's also another red herring. It means nothing, but we're supposed to go looking way into it for meaning. Another example is when Grohl insists Hawkins count off ODD numbers. "1-3-5!
Lastly, Kerry King of the band Slayer plays a small role in the film. He is a technician named Krug setting up to record, when he gets electrocuted to death. Coincidentaly, Foo Fighters stage manager Andy Pollard died right around the time the band would likely have been filming the movie. There are several points in the film where someone dies, and it is made into a sort of black comedy, where Grohl pretends to be sad but insists that the recording goes on because "that's what he would have wanted! He was a fan! We'll dedicate the album to him!" There is just no other way to interpret this: the film is mocking those who have died in connection with the band, but in a way that could only be confirmed in HIND-SIGHT. In other words, the film seems to very blatantly forshadow the deaths of Andy Pollard and Taylor Hawkins IN REAL LIFE.
I don't claim to have all the red herrings sorted from genuine occult messages here, but clearly the film puts a lot of effort to reach a few different types of audience members they know are watching:
1 - Ignorant masses who will take it for a simple horror movie.
2 - People like myself, searching for confirmation of conspiracy theories.
3 - Members of the music industry, or others "in the know."
Of all these, I believe number 3 was the prime target audience. This film did not do well at the box office, and I don't think it was intended to. Grohl has said that Eddy Veddar was amused by the film, but I've never seen or read anything where Vedder is quoted directly. For all we know, the OPPOSITE may be true. Perhaps this is a blatant mockery, referring to the original "oath" expressed by members of Pearl Jam on the "10" album cover. The film is a reminder to those who think they can rebel or get out. A reminder of who they must serve.
