Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament was beaten and robbed in Atlanta outside of a recording studio.

Ament had just arrived at the studio in an SUV when three masked men jumped out of the bushes and busted out the windows of his vehicle. Jeff made a run for it, escaping via the passenger door, but was caught by one of the men who hit him in the head and knocked him to the ground.

Police believe the men may have known Pearl Jam was recording at the location and specifically targeted them.

The robbers managed to get $3,000 cash and $4,000 in computers and equipment. Hopefully they aren’t smart enough to keep their mouths shut and will be caught!

That just sucks. Nothing lower than slimy-assed thieves! Anyone who puts terror into another person, even if they don’t have intentions to harm them, is the lowest form of human life. Too bad Jeff wasn’t packing heat. People like that deserve to get shot.
