From their early songs like “King of Rock”, to the guitar driven “Rock Box” and of course the Aerosmith collaboration “Walk This Way”, Hip-Hop legends Run-D.M.C. have always been influenced by rock music. Looks like Rock N’ Roll has also influenced the fashion of music fanatic D.M.C. He ditched the Adidas jumpsuit and sneakers for a pair of black jeans and a rock band shirt.
Check out this really cool photo of Eddie Vedder, Jack White & Paul Simon enjoying a Seattle Mariners game on August 27, 2014. Looks like Vedder (lives in Seattle) & White (from Detroit) decided to switched jerseys for the game.

Rockers Billy Corgan and Tom Morello are huge fans of the Chicago Cubs baseball team but Eddie Vedder might be the biggest Cubbies fan in the rock world. Vedder has attended the Cubs fantasy camp for several years and has even written a song about the Cubs. Here’s some photo’s of Vedder at the 2011 Cubs Fantasy in Mesa, Arizona.
