Singer/songwriter Eddie Vedder appears for the first time as a solo artist in a music video for the Critics Choice-, Golden Globe- and Grammy-nominated song "Guaranteed" from the Sean Penn-directed motion picture Into the Wild.
The video, directed by critically-acclaimed writer/director Marc Rocco (Murder in the First and Where the Day Takes You) premieres January 7th at 6:00 a.m. EST on VH1 and VH1.com.
Feature film writer/director Marc Rocco conceived, directed and produced the video for "Guaranteed" in just a few days - and shot the project entirely on 35 mm film in three hours - as a way for the typically video-shy Vedder to pay tribute to Sean Penn's film and Chris McCandless's journey. The video uses a series of floating, illuminated images from Into the Wild to capture Vedder's intimate and poetic performance, weaving striking silhouettes of Vedder with translit still frames from the film in a powerful and simple way.
"To me, Eddie is the most compelling musical artist of our generation," explains Rocco. "His songwriting pounds you on a visceral level and his storytelling always stands apart in the same way a great film does - each time you hear his words, they engender a different experience in your heart, soul and mind."
"It has been a privilege and honor to collaborate with Eddie in a medium that he so rarely visits. I hope that I've portrayed visually the song 'Guaranteed' in a way that leaves the viewer as emotionally moved as I was the first time I heard Eddie's music for Into the Wild."
Rage Against The Machine y Metallica son los dos primeras grupos que han confirmado su presencia en el Festival 'Electric Weekend', que se celebrará el viernes 30 y el sábado 31 de mayo en el Auditorio John Lennon de Getafe.
Rage Against The Machine será cabeza de cartel del viernes 30 y volverá a España con su formación original tras su reunificación en primavera de 2007. La banda californiana, una de las más influyentes del rock alternativo de los 90, se disolvió en octubre de 2000 tras una década de frenética actividad. A comienzos de 2007, los cuatro miembros originales de la banda rearman el grupo y reaparecen en el Coachella de California.
Por su parte, Metallica encabezará el cartel del sábado 31 y vuelve a España tras su actuación en junio de 2007 en el 'Bilbao BBK Live', donde consiguió congregar a casi 40.000 personas en una jornada inolvidable para todos los asistentes. La banda californiana regresa para presentar su nuevo disco, que saldrá a la venta a lo largo de este año.
