This performance contains some of Eddie's most vulnerable and tonally sought after vocal moments. His breakup towards the end of the song is incredible.
In this video, I analyze his whole vocal performance and I show you how to get the exact kind of distortion that Eddie gets in this song. I break it down into simple steps so that you can do it simply and safely! We also talk about other aspects of Eddie's voice that make this performance so compelling. Let's dive in! ...And do a little experimenting with our own voices along the way!

I'm so happy to finally hear a professional mention that this is Eddie's natural style. I've been saying that for a couple of years while watching reactions. It's like, "listen to any of his interviews, he talks just like he sings".
I think that the best lesson we can take from Eddie is to be ourselves and develop the best of our own voices. Amazing video as always, Chris, thanks!
Absolutely!
Yeah, it always weirded me out how in the middle of interviews he would occasionally do huge fry screams on pitch :D Just kidding
Chris, I rarely comment, but just in case you needed hear it, you're such a lovely, kind, humble, calm, talented guy. An amazing communicator and teacher.
You break everything down so clearly, your explanations are outstanding, the advice given is always is fun to try, easy to understand and easy to follow. You offer so much knowledge, experience and high quality content and for free.
What a guy.
I appreciate this very much. Thank you! I'm glad what I'm doing has resonated with you so much!
💯
Well said Craig.
I love that you brought up that he talks the same way as he sings, I think a lot of people overlook that. Great reaction!
Sometimes in the course of performing a song, a singer will make something magical happen. It happens here right around the 4 minute mark through the sheer force of Eddie Vedder’s conviction in what he's singing about and how intensely he feels it as an artist. Eddie is singing the part about: "I know someday you’ll have beautiful life, I know someday you’ll be a star, in somebody else’s sky, but why, why, why can’t it be…oh, can't it be mine”
He raises the intensity further as he closes his eyes and reaches for something deep inside of him. By 4:16 in the Unplugged video his eyes are closed and he’s trembling and then right at 4:20 into it, his eyelids start fluttering, you only see the whites of his eyes and his eyelashes looking like butterfly wings…he has reached that place and in the process, turned in a truly transcendent performance.
I already commented, but I gotta also say, Eddie is not the cleanest when singing and that is what is so special about him. It can sometimes lack control but it never lacks emotion, and all the cracks just make a deep emotional feeling come into us listening to him. Another singer that makes me feel that way is Janis Joplin, the uniqueness of a "dirtier" voice.
Probably my favourite PJ song and I've always loved this version much more than the album version. Great video as always Chris 👍
@@craigjenkins6917 ditto!
Regarding the Scott Stapp comparison- Ten was released in 1991 and the MTV Unplugged gig was 1992. Creed's first album was released in 1997, if anyone copied anyone's sound, Scott copied Eddie, there is no need to clarify Eddie's singing voice.
The greatest example is when freedom meets control….creates authenticity! Good lesson! Love Vedder forever!
Stream of consciousness poem…you nailed Ed’s writing in four words.
He put to words what I have always tried to explain to people about Eddie Vedder and why he’s incredible
So many memories, so many interesting techniques to explore. Thanks as always Chris!
Some of my thoughts throughout the video:
1. SPOT ON comment about Vedder's voice, it's just who he is genetically
2. Yes, Eddie is a chronic smoker
3. I love the phrase "moving his resonance around"!
4. Those voice cracks are sooooo 90s Vedder
5. For those of you who may not know, Black is a song about someone Eddie loved, so it's very personal to him
What a great performance!!!
Thank you for encouraging us to make weird sounds with abandon to find out what our voices are capable of. This to me is a huge help. A number of years ago I took an overtone/throat singing class. It totally changed how I approached singing. One of our lessons was singing the vowels AEIOU over a sustained L, R and A sound underneath. Play with that moving around in different parts of your throat, mouth and face. You’ll find all sorts of of of overtones and in some spots you can hit two notes at once. Eddie’s voice reminds me of Tuan and Mongolian throat singing
Great post
The quirk of this performance is his mixing up of the lyrics in the first chorus. If you look back you can see his reaction. Amazing song & amazing performance.
Great video as always! That's a great way of going in and out of grit in how you demonstrated perfectly. Love how you talked a little about embracing the uniqueness of your own voice too, using Eddie as an example.
Good ole Chris. Always bringing the quality content for us
I'll keep it coming as long as you guys keep watching :) !!
Yes!! So glad to see this, great video Chris! I have the full MTV unplugged on my channel with ISOLATED MIC and CAMERA of Eddie! Please feel free to use it!!!
Chris, you're just the best! Eddie is one of my favourite male vocalists, I'll definitely try the ending part when I'm home alone haha
He had a bad cold during this performance. Midnight taping
Omg I've been waiting for a black video for soo long Chris tysm
Love this song and version. The way you break down how he does what he does is the best way I've heard anyone try to describe it. You're clearly a legend in your own right.
Yes! Been listening to this song on repeat for days, thank you Chris 😎
Impresionante, estudiar este tipo de técnicas siempre es un reto, porque son paradigmas a lo habitual de un cantante standard. Gracias Chris y tengo que decir que Vader es mi inspiración cuando decidí ser cantante.
Great video Chris, as usual! 👌
This was an awesome reaction, not only you know what you're talking about when it comes to the technical aspects but you also are familiarized with Eddie n his amazing voice.
I heard this the next morning at work after the end of a very long relationship, I was in tears.
This is my favorite Pearl Jam song. It resonates with me now more than ever, having just gone through a break up. Thank you very much for this. I love your insight.
Man, you're the greatest teacher on the YT. It's a pity you weren't around when I still had the time and place to yell a bit :) All the best.
I feel like the sigh is coming from channeling the energy into the roof of your mouth and into your nasal cavity. I learned that from one of your videos how you push up or down with your resonance and that was a missing key for me for many years. I've been experimenting with moving the resonance forward and around different places like pushing it far away and I'm getting some interesting features from it. You know how a guitarist sometimes moves his mouth while playing its the same kind of channeling I personally noticed this more in free play. I would love to hear more of your thoughts on this!
So cool I'm really glad you did an analysis for this performance. I'm not sure how to describe it but I always wondered how Eddie intentionally makes his voice "break". Like the chorus in "Given to Fly"
this is unbelievable! thank you!
You nailed it with the it is his tone take, absolutely spot on.
"H" the secret weapon to distortion! Love the video, Chris.
I fuckin love this version. So good.
Well, this was really awesome. He really let loose toward the end.
You did great at the end of the video! I'd love to hear you covering this song!
Maybe one day!
AMAZING!!! Shout-out from Brazil!!
Just a suggestion: analyze snow by the red hot chili peppers, focusing on John's backing vocals!!! That would be awesome!!!
Thanks a lot for your vids!! Love em!!!!
love pearl jam and love this channel! thanks!
Thanks for watching and engaging!
I love your channel. Im learning alot. Im 48 and i used to sing alot, same genres you sing. My favorite was always Cornell. Not knowing anything i would just try to imitate him and i could do pretty good.. Ive never heard anyone come as close as you in sounding like Chris, especially the high notes. Id love to hear you do seasons.. . Anyway, I did alot of damage to my voice i assume because of poor technique and smoking but i think its possible to get some of it back with what ive learned here. Also, Ive always been fascinated by the changes in the vocals of the lead singers we love. Like Brian Johnson, Bruce, Chris, etc. I wonder if youd ever consider doing a vid about that from album to album using your expertise to break down whats happening. I suppose that may be taken as disrespectful to some fans but i dont know. It would be interesting. Thanks, great job
Great video! Not much of a Pearl Jam fan but i love this song and specifically this version. Itd be really cool and interesting to see a video on the Norma Jean singer(he does clean, harsh, and screamed vocals, all pretty unique to him) also the Thrice vocalist, and I could go on with suggestions but Ill stop there... at least for this comment section 😅
Jeff Ament, the bass player, said that the “do do dot do do do”s were inspired by one of his favorite artists, Price and the song “When Dove Cry”
💙🤓
Another song from this unplugged that is amazing is Porch, so energetic.
Like Eddie, Zakk Wylde does a pretty fantastic job of switching up resonances too. Thanks for this one!
Dude, I just want to say that you're making fantastic videos. I just started my musical journey on vocals and your analyses and expertise is so refreshing and motivating!
I would greatly appreciate if you could dive into Cedric Bixler-Zavala of the Mars Volta. Such a unique voice and utilisation in that otherwise crazy music. Thank you for your effort!
hi chris im ur fan and ur student also from korea!
im enjoying ur lessons and ur youtube advices and it made my music career go smooth than before!!
i have some role models to wanna be like them
if it wont bother ur contents of next, could u do analyze them???
i love James morrison, Glen hansard, Damien rice, and lastly the korean singer Kim Feel
i really want you to hear them and do some advices for singers who want to get raspy and kind of rock voices
I love how even you got transfixed by his performance here.
15:56 LOVE THAT SCREAMS
OH MY GOD CHRIS, it seems like you heard my thoughts, thank you so much for this video. State of love and trust would be a nice one to do a video too
You're welcome!
Chris! We didn’t discuss the elephant in the room! Eddie’s fast modulation/vibrato! Reproducing this is a very forced “stuttery” sound, but him, you and especially Daughtry are really known for pulling this off with EASE. It is the special sauce!!! That’s why I bought your course! To learn it hopefully!
We do work on vibrato later in the course. You also may like this video: ruclips.net/video/_n0tKwZGfcQ/видео.htmlsi=ck-opANKwWWJWfWz
That passion and vulnerability... Gotta own it! I’m still too concerned about pitch and form. 😅 But i’m working on it 💪🏻
Please more eddie lessons
nice one
Great video as always. What do you think of doing an analysis of Iris by Goo Goo Dolls live at Buffalo (their best live version)?. That song has very tough vocals and subtleties to it, I think it could make for a good video.
Best Regards
Such a great performance, few catch that he sang the wrong lyrics at 4:30.
I stumbled on your channel and I'm hooked! Could you do an analysis of Ed Kowalczyk from the band Live? Love to hear your opinion on his voice!
Thanks for the sub and great suggestion!
Dear Chris, if you've never heard of Demetrio Stratos, please take a listen to AREA - GIOIA E RIVOLUZIONE. He was an unbealivable good singer who experimented so much around his voice, very unique style. I would love to see your analysis of his voice. Thank you!
15:33 somebody can explain for me how to dot that transition???Like from normal voice,easy to that perfect scream
I have a question. When james hetfield sings sad but true, live, in the last verse he does the PAYYYY with growling. How to do that?
Would make a good video!
Amazing video, Chris! Your lessons are awesome as Eddie's performances. I'd also love to see your review on Scott Weiland's voice, he was such a powerful and versatile singer
Now you might as well do Stp unplugged mtv
I agree :)
Someone said he’d had a cold during this performance. There’s an element of agony here
Pearl Jam 25 years later performing "Release", one of the first songs Eddie wrote with the band, and sounding just as incredible as when he made it. ruclips.net/video/Y2vwLBkA4vg/видео.htmlsi=HRqeAmNEzuH8lxSe
You should totally check out Vicente Fernandez, he recently passed away, one of the biggest stars in Mexico, pleaaaaase
🔥
YEHAHHH
Now you gotta do nutshell by alice in chains unplugged ;)
He fucked up the lyrics...he shook his head and powered on. Massive recovery
A great live performance to analyze would be Avenged Sevenfold God Hates Us at 2011 Rock Am Ring!
Still waiting for dUg Pinnick of King's X but I am curious if you have done any Scott Weiland yet?
Chris, this has nothing to see with the video but i have a problem when fry screaming. I dont have any kind of vocal damage, but after doing it for a long time straight i feel tired, and have headache, at the point of almost fainting. Is this any kind of bad tecnique?
Sounds like a technique problem for sure! Have you considered joining my aggressive vocal course found at MyMusicalVoice.com. ?

Have you seen my cover of this song? ruclips.net/video/eYNNI4MGLl0/видео.html
Now u gotta do alice in chains unplugged . . Down in a Hole!!!
11:49 😂
Aaron Lewis Covered this in concert one time. I love his version the best but I want to say your videos have helped me tremendously I appreciate what you do friend.
You're so very welcome!
@@chrisliepe I taught myself distorted vocals before I could really sing I was fortunate enough to have figured out the right ways of doing it on my own but singing was always an obstacle because they are two different controls. Thanks to you I have a mended way of thinking while I'm singing and that is a huge gift you are giving people if they understand what you are trying to teach.
I’m trying to figure out how to msg you but Chris I really think you should watch
“Spiritbox - circle with me Courtney vocal perfomrance”
You can really hear her slide into vocal break and it’s so cool. The last line of the song is especially impressive. She does this mid note… screammmbreak midnote screaammmm ahhh screammmm it’s so cool.
ruclips.net/video/zMnfkW9UZc4/видео.html
I’m a huge fan of spiritbox!
@@chrisliepe cool dude. You always impress me but so does her live stuff. I cannot get that break thing down like she and you do it’s fantastic.
Im a Church singer,
Super super interesting. But man it seems like it’s a cheat to seeming authentic.
The goal is to be able to be authentic while also not trashing your voice. Practicing the techniques and then getting the muscle memory down so you abandon into emotional moments!
Scott and Eddie sound nothing alike, also I hate when someone tries to imitate their voices by doing what you described as cupping their tongue, it never sounds good
U shoulda taught freddie mercury and nina hagen too 😂
I continue to watch all your videos and still sound like a dying cat but idc 🤷🏻♂️
STOP DOING THAT!!!
I almost quit listening
you are no vedder
Thank God I'm me :)
