I was at an age that The begining of Pearl Jam was the begining for me. Pearl Jam is the one relationship in my life that will always remain, people come people go but their musical relationship with me will forever be, never changed, never lost.
Eddie Vedder is awesome!! One of my favorite singers.He is one of only a handful of singers in my 52 years of life that i can say i love and like every song he has ever recorded!!Including the many cover songs he has done!Amazing man!!!
Eirc Thompson I don't like Eddie singing Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns. Other than that, he's next to Andrew, Layne, and Chris as far as vocals. I never really liked Kurt Cobain's vocals, but I never hated them either. I try to respect all music, except for the ridiculous such as today's noise.
Eirc Thompson yes.... his water on the road concert ...soundtracks for various movies.....his incredible covers like " masters of war" here on yt with only him and mcready....and g.e smith from 92....still doin that song and well but that one my favorite. i love dylan but that song made for eds voice....it needs a deeper voice and to be slowed down from bobs version have a deeper impact....eddies the man!
Le'Vin Moser andy wood? that guy could not sing....sad as hell he died like he did....but ppl make way to much of mlb i think and his voice doesnt compare at all to eds....no way. ed and chris best voices of grunge....layne next
@@laurietopp6445 not that familiar with Mother Love Bone. Was that them at 3:23? I'm not crazy about that sound, sounds too much like one of those Van Halen clone bands. I hate Van Halen, but I love love love Pearl Jam. So Eddie Vedder must be the genius influence there.
What was Ten? It was part of the voice of a generation waking up and spreading it's wings that is why we love it.. for many of us it was how we felt expressed in sound. Thanks PJ .. Alive kept me alive through some very dark times.
@@dalssu4740 do you know Eddie’s ‘historia’ interview? He says there that he was glad audiences had reinterpreted his lyrics to be celebratory rather than sad recounting of Eddie’s father shocking him, so audiences had “lifted the curse” Eddie felt everytime he sang the song. Also, Radiohead is famous for being at peace with the fact that they’re always making songs with very obscure or random intentions that manage to have totally different effects once the masses hear the songs. I think more artists should have that approach.
Interesting that the band dislike Ten....I still think their best album....not only for the hits but also the deeper album tracks like Release and Oceans
Besides all that: I'm a fan, and I love "Ten." I cherish "Ten." I think it's because the album is not only full of a lot of great songs with an array of...I dunno..."vibes" to them? As in: it's not musically or thematically redundant. Plus, like a great many "Gen X" geezers, I associate "Ten" with a very interesting time in my life.
Pearl jam was born out of the original roots of grunge. Mother love bone was the foundation of the grunge era. Pearl jam is still here 30 plus years later because they've evolved over the years and never feared experimenting with their sound and music. Over 85 million albums later 11 studio albums 15 live albums touring nearly endlessly and they still stand the test of time. The grunge era is behind us but I'm so grateful pearl jam is still here. Some say they sold out but I disagree they were smart and made decisions based on how they could get better. I don't think they started with the idea we will only make music that sounds grungy or like their album 10. I've seen them 24 times live and I plan on making that 30 by time I'm done going to concerts but then I'm still young, only 61. Thank you pearl jam for the decades of great music. My life is a little better as a result. One love!
heh....we all had those hats. you could get some seriously rediculegendaric wear at the festivals. And everyone sewed or knit or crochet, or knew someone who did. Or the best was finds from the free boxes...telluride colorado had THE best free box.
Pearl Jam was never really grunge. Yes, they were from Seattle, but they never sounded like the other grunge bands did. They were much more melodic and blues oriented while bands like Nirvana was more punk.
That’s the beauty of Grunge - it was many different driving hard rock styles combined with overall dark overtones. Both Pearl Jam and Nirvana are both grunge to the letter, and they don’t have to sound that much alike.
If you dont understand the text at 0:40 here it is: " The best justification for our band's name is the reference to the pearl itself, and like natural process from witch the pearl comes - taking an extractment of waste and turning it in something beautiful." -Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam 1992
That's why I love grunge (alt rock) because they help you deal with reality by saying we go through and feel the same shit you guys do. Where as the hair metal '80s bands they just push you farther into denial and crazy fantasy.
defpickles98 not....have you listened to his water on the road concert from 2011....guess not. only now in 2017 have i noticed it faltering some. unfortunately hes a smoker and that doesnt help.....deaf pickles!
The Term Grunge Originated in Rock N Roll from Mark Arm back when he was Interviewed in the 1980's, He was in a Band called Green River and an Interviewer asked Mark, What Kind of Music do You Play? Mark's Answer was-We Play Grungy Sounding Music, This is Grunge, We're Playing Grunge, and the Rest is History :P
Jeremy was what really got me loving PJ. I liked other songs on 10, but Jeremy just had that raw emotion in it, that other PJ's later songs had. It had power in it. And I wasn't a victim of bullying. I was the perpetrator, and not proud of it. Thinking back, I really stopped being a bully around the time this song came out. I have no idea if that correlates to anything. But I can't help but wonder. Cause I would rewind the tape, and play Jeremy over and over. One of those songs I just couldn't get enough of. Maybe on some level it did change me. I'd like to believe that.
At the time, SP, STP, PJ, Nirvana, AIC and SG were what Grunge was. It wasn't until I got older that I realized Grunge was just a label used to categorize a certain set of bands that sounded nothing like hair metal of the 80's. It was a movement in time that changed rock music for the better and I'm glad I was around for that. Take some classic rock, hard rock, college rock, indie rock, punk and metal and you have Grunge.
R.I.P. CHRIS CORNELL WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THEM OPEN FOR NINE INCH NAILS AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL FANTASTIC MUSICIANS I BOUGHT THE CD BADMOTORFINGER A LONG TIME AGO MY FATHER HAD WAY MORE I DINT REALLY LIKE THE DEMOS BUT WOW WE MISS YOU
Pearl jams first 3 records were the the best...But that journalist is wrong...Ten is an amazing record... the strength in the lyrics was amazing...the delivery live was enough to give everyone butterflies...it was dark,yet adrenaline filled... like everyone they got older and softened down the music and delivery..however they gotten better with their instruments and always with each record deliver one or two amazing songs...and is the only band of the era that still fills arenas and stadiums work wide to this very day! some may not agree ,but they are better than Nirvana, imo.... Nirvana was great and changed the music for the better...but petal jam nailed it on the head with their music.
Kaya, I love the fact that No Code comes in second for you. Sadly, No Code dropped a few “fans” because they didn’t like the direction the band was going. The true fans are the ones that have stayed. Ten, VS, and Vitalogy are amazing albums in their own right but I think with No Code, Yield and Binaural they were just getting started. Truly my favorite three albums, Binaural being my favorite. When you look up the definition of Binaural, it means to listen with both ears. That means even more to me because I have a substantial hearing loss and wear hearing aids. I want to hear perfectly with both ears but I’m thankful for what I have. Anyway! I love the direction the band goes and don’t care what people think. Riot Act still sends a message but it’s so relaxing to listen to. I will admit their self titled 2006 “avacado” album just about lost me, I didn’t like it at first. By the third time I listened to it I was in love. Lightning Bolt was released at the right time. I had just lost my father to bone cancer and struggled with that death. My wife back then (ex wife now) was not supportive at all. What was my way of grieving? Work. I hid at work, working long hours, working double shifts so I don’t have to think about my dad being gone (and the shitty marriage I was in). Then “Pendulum”. Oh my god. I cried. That song helped me. I saw PJ in concert in Oklahoma. Tickets were $80/ea. My then wife says she didn’t like PJ enough to go. My brother said he’d go. I’m glad. It was an amazing time. I lost my voice singing with them. My brother got a kick out of my passion for them. Unfortunately, I lost my brother a few months ago. I’m still struggling with that. I think I’ve said enough. Sorry.
Ten will always be the one album almost any fan would choose if they had to pick one album to listen to and will always have a special place in any fan's heart. However, Backspacer is the next best album musically and lyrically after a bit of a “departure” from what made them who they are. Maybe they both just spoke to me at very different times and ages in my life as I’m a similar age as the band... But Backspacer is the Ten 20+ years later...
I think it says a lot when the fans favour albums 'supposed' music critics dislike, I think fans tend to have less bias and enjoy the music purely on feeling, where was critics need to analyse it, and music can't always be analysed through a microscope and doesn't always have to look good on paper. Ten and Vs are A** albums and the band should be proud of them👌
For what it's worth, I agree. You're spot on. One of the things that happens is critics study a lot, then look at it through their learning. I had a teacher tell me the way I played the song wrong. I told her close her eyes and sing it. She sang it as I played. Pretty funny.
I think some musicians sometimes try to make the music more complex and try weird stuff that sounds cool just to show off their musical vocabulary!...Sometimes the simplest songs are the fan favorites and that people relate the most to.
Can't say I agree with Mr Cross about Ten. Does he have an exclusive pipeline into what all rock journalists, or for that matter, the band feels about it?
Yes, Grunge was, mostly, a movement or something not a musical genre exactly. You can tell by listening to the bands: Pearl Jam (Hard Rock), Soundgarden (alternative metal), alice in chains (heavy metal), Nirvana, which i also like less (punk), either way they're all grunge bands, so wasn't a genre indeed but i loved the spirit of it.
Exactly. They just got clumped together because, a.) they were from Seattle, or b.) they happened to become popular around the same time as bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. I believe people even consider Smashing Pumpkins to be grunge even thought they're from Chicago. Lazy categorizing.
07foxmulder jesus its all rock and roll. i hate it when ppl say pj wasnt like the other grunge bands.....aic wasnt like nirvana at ALL....soundgarden different again then both of them....stupid meaningless labels. they did fit it with the angst part of what was grunge. this guy doing the narrating says pj part metal....and some of it had metal edge but also punk....hard rock....even folk and blues. thats why so many classic rock acts like neil young appreciate their music and ed esp.
completely agree with you, they are blues, country hard rock oriented rather than punk oriented. but grunge for my is a vague label, nirvana sound punk, pearl jam more bluesy, alice in chains was more kind of metal oriented, and soundgarden kind of in between of metal ad bluesy (somehow stoner rock) and all of them were put under the grunge label. I think the word grunge don´t describe a sound, but maybe a mood, some kind of anger, even though the word grunge still being vague for me.
Oh excuse me professor, for not using the term "alternative rock" when I discovered them back in 92! For all intents and purposes, back then they were referred to as a "grunge band".
NiTEVibe98 I understand what you mean, but at the same time I think they believe in the other songs just as much if not more than the singles, and don't want to abuse a radio song.
somehow the worse music ever made? I have ran into legions of people that think PJ is terrible? I have tried and it is just jarring!? It sounds like 9th grade garage rock? Most overrated band in music history! I can dig some of the other seatle mbands but uhggg!
Completely agree with you. Grunge is a pretty vague category, specially for sound. Maybe it is related to a mood. It is a category that the mass media invented. I like to see PJ SG AIC even Nirvana just as rock bands. BTW Nirvana is the one i like the less from this group of bands from Seattle in the early 90´s late 80´s.
Diego Sebastián Núñez agreed...all the "grunge" bands each had their own styles. soundgarden early on def more metal. pj hard rock....aic to me were not quite metal but in between that and hard rock...to me nirvana was pop infused punk
Semantics. If we're honestly going to split hairs than the majority of the popular bands at the time belonging to "the grunge movement" weren't *really* grunge.
+eircthompson in my almost 47 years I would totally agree with you about Eddie Vedder. the only other singer in the same consistent league would be Mike Patton eventhough they are complete opposits.
"Music journalists liked it least, the band liked it least..." So? That doesn't prove anything. It's got great stuff on it. Furthermore, if the band didn't like it and it was about commercialization to put them on the map, how then can we ever give Eddie credit for being so emotionally into the songs when he performed them live? Can't have both.
up to yield, all pj albums are great....then, things changed. they turn into other directions that, in my case, made me lose interest on their music. but no doubt, one of my favourites bands ever.
I miss young Pearl Jam, before they became "Girl Jam". Now all we see are women who were listening to the Spice Girls back then telling us about how beautiful Eddie's soul is. Yaaaaaawn. Give me State of Love and Trust, Wash, Once.... not Daughter, Elderly Woman, etc
captaincooool thats bull... your jealous...yawwwwn....lots of guys comment on eds voice. him and chris cornell happen to be very handsome and talented so why you got a problem with that....RIP chris....u r jealous and the green eyed monster rearing its ugly head
You're not girly because you appreciate good vocalist. Certain music touches everyone, PJ has been in my life since 92. Ten and VS are my personal favorites, but I love all their music and I'm a girl so..
Critics hate “ Ten” ... okay do they hate The Godfather and Michael Jordan as a Chicago Bull ?? To purposely hate something great to be “ punk” or “ cool” makes you a clown. You talk to any TRUE punk and they like everything from old Hank Williams to New Wave. Kurt Cobain wanted to do New Wave n loved The Smithereens . Listen to Joey Ramone or him and they like anything that appeals to them. Maybe copycat bands don’t get much credit but it’s not like tons of Eddie Vedder voices were on fashion. Nor was good old creative rock n roll with amazing hooks written with Zeppelin sound to a Sabbath meets the Beatles n everything in between. It’s why all the Seattle bands broke and got credit for ONE sound but none of them sounded remotely alike!! They were great rock n roll bands. Period! Ten was a great Rock n Roll record as was Nevermind. It’s easy to downplay or frown away once you never have to work a day in your life again. Yet don’t discredit the effort and product that gave you that freedom .
Really: Stupid people, no matter their profession or what pedestal they stand on, belittle Pearl Jam's TEN and their other songs/music. Honest people KNOW TEN was likely the Best album of the 1990's in the alternative/grunge genre. Stupid people have something against Catchy music, regardless if the lyrics are Outstanding (Pearl Jam) or not. Led Zeppelin's many great albums, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Guns & Roses, all had many catchy songs, but the lyrics were still Great. As I said, Stupid people say what they say, Honest people Know these bands were Amazing at least. Many "critics" have issues: They don't like to admit they are/were wrong. Pearl Jam, STP, Sound Garden, maybe even Smashing Pumpkins and Janes Addiction, were better than whom most such "critics" claim were better: Nirvanah--who were simply not as good. Is MJ's (sorry but I need to make a point) "Man In The Mirror" not so good because it's catchy? "Fantasy" by E W & F also? "Share The Land" by The Guess Who, "Home" by Philip Phillip, "Back To Life" by Soul2Soul? and the list goes on and on and..."Critics" can be among the stupidest people in any profession, and I mean critics on any art/field. Calling Pearl Jams songs Pop is like saying N'sync and Christina Aguilera were Rock. Like I said, critics can very, very stupid.
I was at an age that The begining of Pearl Jam was the begining for me. Pearl Jam is the one relationship in my life that will always remain, people come people go but their musical relationship with me will forever be, never changed, never lost.

I like Ten better than vs or vitalogy, just my opinion tho. Ten got me lovin this band, always have always will
Vs. for me, Ten is brilliant no doubt. Essentially their greatest hits album, let's be honest..
ten is prob one of my least favorite pj album
I feel Ten is just too mainstream with radio-friendly catchy hooks. I prefer their later albums.

Ten, VS, and Vitalogy are amazing albums in their own right but I think with No Code, Yield and Binaural they were just getting started. Truly my favorite three albums, Binaural being my favorite.

completely agree with you, they are blues, country hard rock oriented rather than punk oriented. but grunge for my is a vague label, nirvana sound punk, pearl jam more bluesy, alice in chains was more kind of metal oriented, and soundgarden kind of in between of metal ad bluesy (somehow stoner rock) and all of them were put under the grunge label. I think the word grunge don´t describe a sound, but maybe a mood, some kind of anger, even though the word grunge still being vague for me.
Love Stone Gossard
Oh excuse me professor, for not using the term "alternative rock" when I discovered them back in 92! For all intents and purposes, back then they were referred to as a "grunge band".
240p?
One thing that irritates me about grunge bands is that they purposely hate their best work
NiTEVibe98 I understand what you mean, but at the same time I think they believe in the other songs just as much if not more than the singles, and don't want to abuse a radio song.
Grunge is hard rock to me
let's see, in Part 2 they get a new drummer, Eddie is very serious, and they all hate being successful
Where is Part 2?
Sorry, i checked, it seems youtube have deleted it on me
+Declan K do you think there'd be anyway to re-upload it?! Great work getting these ones on man!
Hello fellow Davis
0 dislikes! Who else but Pearl Jam
somehow the worse music ever made? I have ran into legions of people that think PJ is terrible? I have tried and it is just jarring!? It sounds like 9th grade garage rock? Most overrated band in music history! I can dig some of the other seatle mbands but uhggg!
Pos ..Jeremy is about bullying.... Not gun violence!
YES IT IS,I WAS BULLIED GROWING UP AND YES THE VIDEO IS ABOUT BULLYING, THE TEN ALBUM SAVED MY LIFE,2019,ARNIE KUITUNEN- TORONTO 🙂
that’s false dude, it’s about a kid that shot himself in class
@@ash-xr6ri = Bullying.
The kid SHOT himself, key word SHOT himself intro to of his classmates tf you on about?
Why can’t it be both? Bullying can lead to gun violence right?
Kinda funny because how many times has JP and Eddie changed stories and lyrics.
Completely agree with you. Grunge is a pretty vague category, specially for sound. Maybe it is related to a mood. It is a category that the mass media invented. I like to see PJ SG AIC even Nirvana just as rock bands. BTW Nirvana is the one i like the less from this group of bands from Seattle in the early 90´s late 80´s.
Diego Sebastián Núñez agreed...all the "grunge" bands each had their own styles. soundgarden early on def more metal. pj hard rock....aic to me were not quite metal but in between that and hard rock...to me nirvana was pop infused punk
so sad he had to take his life like that. he could have been so much more
This 'Rob D' has apparently assumed the role of some kind of "authority" on musical genres here....:P
Ten was better than Vitalogy by far...
As well as the following 2 albums. ❗🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🎼🎶🎵
Semantics. If we're honestly going to split hairs than the majority of the popular bands at the time belonging to "the grunge movement" weren't *really* grunge.
PJ was awesome and raw
Now not so much
hahah I totally agree
+eircthompson in my almost 47 years I would totally agree with you about Eddie Vedder. the only other singer in the same consistent league would be Mike Patton eventhough they are complete opposits.
they've never sounded grungey to me. there's no dirge to the end of the vocals like with bands nirvana and soundgarden
It was January 8th 1991 not 1990 and he was 15 not 16 his birthday was on February 10th
"Music journalists liked it least, the band liked it least..." So? That doesn't prove anything. It's got great stuff on it. Furthermore, if the band didn't like it and it was about commercialization to put them on the map, how then can we ever give Eddie credit for being so emotionally into the songs when he performed them live? Can't have both.
up to yield, all pj albums are great....then, things changed. they turn into other directions that, in my case, made me lose interest on their music. but no doubt, one of my favourites bands ever.
i love eddie vedder!!!
What's wrong with 10
Absolutely Nothing.
I miss young Pearl Jam, before they became "Girl Jam". Now all we see are women who were listening to the Spice Girls back then telling us about how beautiful Eddie's soul is. Yaaaaaawn. Give me State of Love and Trust, Wash, Once.... not Daughter, Elderly Woman, etc
captaincooool thats bull...
your jealous...yawwwwn....lots of guys comment on eds voice. him and chris cornell happen to be very handsome and talented so why you got a problem with that....RIP chris....u r jealous and the green eyed monster rearing its ugly head
Yeah... Bullshit. I've loved PJ for 25 years and I only know their first 3 albums. I adore their music AND I love Eddie's soul. So... Whatever....
You're not girly because you appreciate good vocalist. Certain music touches everyone, PJ has been in my life since 92. Ten and VS are my personal favorites, but I love all their music and I'm a girl so..
POP SONGS!! I Don't Think So...
Vs is a better album than Ten.
Said no one ever
Mr. Ass Gotta agree with Mark, Ten is amazing, but Vs. is just more amazing
Vs was the first one I heard, then 10. I love them both. They're different.
You know what's annoying? People speaking for another band they weren't involved in. 6:44
Critics hate “ Ten” ... okay do they hate The Godfather and Michael Jordan as a Chicago Bull ?? To purposely hate something great to be “ punk” or “ cool” makes you a clown. You talk to any TRUE punk and they like everything from old Hank Williams to New Wave. Kurt Cobain wanted to do New Wave n loved The Smithereens . Listen to Joey Ramone or him and they like anything that appeals to them. Maybe copycat bands don’t get much credit but it’s not like tons of Eddie Vedder voices were on fashion. Nor was good old creative rock n roll with amazing hooks written with Zeppelin sound to a Sabbath meets the Beatles n everything in between. It’s why all the Seattle bands broke and got credit for ONE sound but none of them sounded remotely alike!! They were great rock n roll bands. Period! Ten was a great Rock n Roll record as was Nevermind. It’s easy to downplay or frown away once you never have to work a day in your life again. Yet don’t discredit the effort and product that gave you that freedom .
HI MRS BARRY
Found you son.
144p huh?? hang on there's the 240p option woohoo!!
They were huge honestly l loathed them.not because they were bad here at way over played.very commercial.later they grew on me
Tells you something about music critics ....music critic don't like it but all the fans do...Tossers..critics that is..
I cannot take Eddies Growling at the beginning of Even Flow
All of Eddies Growling is The. Sexiest. Thing. Ever.
ur weird
BITCH IT'S GRUNGE. Lol. It was the 90's
Really: Stupid people, no matter their profession or what pedestal they stand on, belittle Pearl Jam's TEN and their other songs/music. Honest people KNOW TEN was likely the Best album of the 1990's in the alternative/grunge genre. Stupid people have something against Catchy music, regardless if the lyrics are Outstanding (Pearl Jam) or not. Led Zeppelin's many great albums, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Guns & Roses, all had many catchy songs, but the lyrics were still Great. As I said, Stupid people say what they say, Honest people Know these bands were Amazing at least. Many "critics" have issues: They don't like to admit they are/were wrong. Pearl Jam, STP, Sound Garden, maybe even Smashing Pumpkins and Janes Addiction, were better than whom most such "critics" claim were better: Nirvanah--who were simply not as good. Is MJ's (sorry but I need to make a point) "Man In The Mirror" not so good because it's catchy? "Fantasy" by E W & F also? "Share The Land" by The Guess Who, "Home" by Philip Phillip, "Back To Life" by Soul2Soul? and the list goes on and on and..."Critics" can be among the stupidest people in any profession, and I mean critics on any art/field. Calling Pearl Jams songs Pop is like saying N'sync and Christina Aguilera were Rock. Like I said, critics can very, very stupid.
vh1? bs
Seems nefarious
Pos ..Jeremy is about bullying.... Not gun violence!
