It is very dark. Greatest breakup song ever written or sung
Yes, the singer is Eddie Vedder. And he is incredible. He always throws his entire being into every lyric he writes and sings. Pearl Jam was a big part of grunge, but, imo, they can be better defined as a classic rock band. And while they were one of the biggest bands of the 90’s, they continue to have a huge fan base, and their concerts are still selling out in arenas around the world.
This MTV Unplugged concert was one of the best ever. I would suggest you continue listening to more from it, specially “State of Love and Trust “, and a great version of “Porch”. Pearl Jam refused to do many music videos, but two definitely worth watching are the official UNCENSORED version of “Jeremy” (based on a true story), and the brilliantly animated “Do The Evolution”. This is a very deep rabbit hole, worth jumping into! Enjoy!
It’s grunge
And amazing
GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME ❤️
its grunge brother. The anthem of the 90's, but so much more. I put this CD in my juke box every night to help me fall asleep and forget how difficult things were. This music spoke to so many of us that needed a voice. Truth is, most of my Gen X friends suffered silently and grunge music spoke for us.
On top of the powerfully emotional delivery, the lyrics are heartachingly beautiful. This from their debut album "Ten" (1990). It has to be one of the great debut albums in rock history - a masterpiece.
Pearl Jam is considered a grunge band. In fact, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains & Pearl Jam pretty much *define* grunge. Grunge is kind of a blend of rock, hard rock, metal & punk, with Pearl Jam being more toward the rock region of the spectrum (Nirvana is more punk, Soundgarden more metal). A big part of what makes it grunge is a kind of artistic ethos embracing angst, anger, alienation & related emotions & themes. It was very much a reaction *against* the "hair metal" / glam style of heavy rock that dominated the 80's. It really saved heavy rock from the superficial banal tropes of "party rock" that resulted from its own commercial success in the 80s.
I just saw PJ a few weeks ago twice..that is my happy place. Best live band out there. It is more than a concert..it is a surreal life changing experience. Ed is like our friend..his crowd interaction..his empathy..his passion..his storytelling. He let's us in to his deepest emotions and we soak in every second and then crave it again and again. The voice that touches the soul..and let me tell ya i still get goosebumps and I've heard this song a zillion times over the past several decades. The guitar solos in today's versions send shivers down my spine
Grunge, rock!
The imperfect vocals is a hallmark of Grunge. Also drop D tuning but don't think Black is drop D. A lot of Alice In Chains and Soundgarden's songs are. Very emotional and vulnerable. You have a good ear.
Check out Hunger Strike by Temple of the Dog. It's a combo of some of the better grunge voices
OH BOY your channel is amazing glad I found it I got so many videos to watch :D Cheers mate, great reactions
Thank you!! I hope you enjoy them :)
This is from MTV Unplugged. This performance and Nirvana were two of the best performances on that show. Grunge was a genre born from the Seattle music scene of the early 90's. Bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden , Alice In Chains and Nirvana were at the forefront of that movement. Eddie makes you feel every lyric. His vocals are so captivating. Enjoy the ride discovering this music. There's so much to get into.
Never forget the iconic Alice in Chains unplugged.
@sonofjorel1000 Exactly. I'm a huge Nirvana fan and I think the Alice in Chains Unplugged show was the best of them all
First I really appreciated your reaction, second as a metal fan you might like some of Pearl Jam's shreddier stuff. They are pretty versatile but if you search for Go/Animal from the Vs. 93 tour you will see they can hit pretty hard.
Love your insight. Go down the rabbit hole
He fell in love again today..as we all did! EDDIE always🤟🖤
So true
All the things you say you loved about this song is basically the description of grunge and a summary of why it has remained my favourite genre of music over the years.
🖤
"Rearviewmirror"... amazing song- incredible lyrics! #pearljam
I really enjoy your reaction but I have a respectful suggestion. You paused 10 times during this song 😳 many times right in the middle of a lyric. When you weren't paused, you talked over it. Each time, you commented on his voice. Facts 💯 Eddie's voice is stellar. What you missed by doing that were the majority of the lyrics to this beautiful song about unrequited love. By the end, you weren't able to share any thoughts on it. Please try to pause at the end of a verse or chorus so the flow isn't broken & you can share your feedback. It makes a world of difference! Thanks 😊
The goat
This is one of the greatest … he doesn’t really go out of tune. This has been an epic sing ever sense it came out in 91
Every emotion in his voice ❤️🩹Great reaction 👏🏻 I would recommend Alice In Chains “Love, Hate, Love” live at the Moore
This is amazing
No it is dark .. Thats why it sounds that way lol
Once in a lifetime like Bobby Hatfields voice, its masterpieces ❤❤❤
You need to do more PJ.
Any recs?
@@Sohum Anything from their Unplugged, but the standard reactions are their performance of Porch at Pinkpop in '92, and rightfully so. The uncensored music video of Jeremy is also a reactor favorite. I like some of the "deep cuts" that don't get as much attention. Even Flow, State of Love and Trust, Oceans, or Porch from Unplugged. Release from Holland in '92 is also amazing.
You’re a great reactor!
Thank you so much
🖤
Blows your mind right?? You just earned a sub
I enjoyed your review. It was intelligent. You felt it. He meant that and he's pretty damn good at it! I hit subscribe. :)
They are amazing ❤
Loved the reaction. Keep it up.
Thank you! Will do!
Great reaction!
Thank you!! 😁
What I appreciate in a real artist is the ability to be vulnerable. You can see how much Eddie gives of himself to transmit his art.
Yea I like this reaction 😮
Pearl Jam was on one of those games, Alive, one of their best
Since you asked for suggestions, here’s one for you: th-cam.com/video/Tgb1GgpkX7s/w-d-xo.html This is Nothing But Thieves, a British band who have been really underrated for a while but are finally starting to see some recognition. They are incredible live, and their vocalist Conor Mason has the best voice I’ve ever heard. I was at this concert and it sounded even better in the arena! By the way you have a lovely speaking voice, you’re really nice to listen to 🙂
This would be Grunge music. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice In Chains are basically the forefathers of the subgenre. At least from a popularity perspective.
ugh! they ALWAYS forget the "redheaded stepchild" of grunge....STP (Stone Temple Pilots) 😔
and how very disappointing that is! DON'T FORGET STP, y'all!
put some respect on Sir Scott Weiland, a grunge god just the same.
@@idgaf100 I didn't forget them. I just don't see them on the same tier as the bands I listed. I didn't mention Candlebox, Pixies, or Smashing Pumpkins either for the same reason even though I like them more.
STP simply has never been a part of the "big four" conversation.
@@DrTim0thyLeary nah, stp is bona fide top tier. the other bands you listed are good as well, but stp is 1 up. 🤷🏻♀️ sorry.
I think the singer is Eddie Vedder. Yes, his voice is Amazing.
awesome reaction, keep it up
Thank you! Will do!
Yes😂❤
Even Flow Live and yes by Pearl Jam
Live...learn ❤
Do Alice in Chains pls
Which song?
Down in a hole - MTV Unplugged @@Sohum
You're welcome 😊
Most people have heard Even Flow and Jeremy
Posting my even flow reaction tomorrow :)
Pearl Jam is a grunge band dude 😮
Sohum, you need a Pearl Jam deep dive man. They only have about 5 tracks in their entire catalog that are not masterpieces.
I can exactly call it grunge (alfa) & punk (beta), but of course it also includes rock and some flowers of blues... e.g: Nirvana is more punk than grunge
This is original Grunge
It’s very personal for Eddie Vedder
If you try listening to the lyrics it's a dark song
Great reaction brother. You should check out "Jelly Roll, Save Me" Its a reaction banger!!!!
Please don’t pause constantly-just a suggestion ❤❤
this is Grunge
Grunge defined
It’s teammates
It’s Grunge
Well dont. No need to apologize for not knowing this stuff
Grunge
You do pause a lot. Lol. Do yourself a favor and rewatch in entirety on your own
Sorry about that haha. I added Black to my playlists so I've been hearing it more and more now :)
He needs to stfu a little and stop pausing it at the key parts of the song. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Omg, you talk too much.
Road to 10k Subs
pls and ty
Brings tears to my eyes still, especially now, that I lost my wife of 30 years to suicide in 2021.
Back before autotune! When people actually had to sing on point!
