The band then decided against doing any more videos, made less TV appearances and gave less interviews - they also put a cap on the ticket prices for their next tour in a bid to make their music more about their fans. It included the singles 'Go', 'Daughter', 'Animal' and 'Dissident'. That year they released second album 'Vs.', to another wave of success selling 950,378 copies in its first week. In 1993, the band received four accolades at the MTV Video Music Awards, but went against their label and refused to make a video for their song 'Black' as Vedder felt videos took away the opportunity for listeners to create their own meaning. By 1992, the album had reached number 2 in the US and was certified gold (it later reached diamond status and is one of the best-selling rock albums ever). Dave Abbruzzese then replaced Chamberlain to complete a string of shows the band were performing for 'Ten'. Soon after, drummer Krusen was replaced by Matt Chamberlain after checking into rehab. 'Alive' looked at themes of grief and incest, while 'Jeremy' is based on a true story of a gun suicide.
