Pearl Jam Attack -- The Security Tape!

The surveillance video of Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament getting attacked by a knife wielding thug has just been released -- and his beatdown is brutal!

Pearl Jam attack: Click to watch

It all went down in Atlanta in April, when three masked hoodlums ran out of the bushes and jumped the dude's SUV, smashing the windows and demanding cash.

Ament tried to make a run for it -- but was knocked to the ground by one of the assailants. Ament suffered a laceration on his head and was treated at the scene. The attackers made off with $7,000 worth of money and goods.

No arrests have been made.

62. Dear WOW~Maybe my words were a little harsh, you're right on that one~but Marco's tone wasn't much better. I don't assume I was smarter or better than someone else~ I just tired of the whole "LIBERALS are dumb and getting what's coming to them for not believing in guns and looking through rose tinted glasses". I believe that Marco's comments were racist and offensive. If you think I'm being racist by not agreeing with his comment you're wrong . I just don't like a**holes.

63. Uhm Wow~first off I don't think I said a word about being better than anyone else~Secondly, Marco's comments were racist. Ok , I admit I was irked and the KKK reference was heavy handed but it was the "them LIB-RALs" and "guilt ridden WHITE liberals" and "how the folks you pity celebrate diversity~you could be next." comments that stuck out for me. What should I be afraid of? Diversity? A black person? Please!

65. Of course it would happen in Atlanta where the employment rate is low, but stupidity is abundant. These guys need to get a real job, brain transplants (preferrably using the brains of a genius), and to find a true purpose in life. Right now they're as good as dead as far as I'm concerned.

68. This didnt even make the news in Atlanta. This really sucks. Jeff Ament is a great bassist and now probably hates my town.
