I’m in my 60s and have been listening to music my entire life. NO ONE sounds like Eddie Vedder. Not just his voice, but how he’s basically living within the song with his delivery and emotions. Which is super rare. When you figure it out, let us know. I love this band. In my top 10 of all time. Vedder’s voice is in my top 5.
If he reminds you of someone that means whoever you are thinking of reminds you of Eddie, he was the original lol. Pearl Jam was the best of all the "grunge" era bands in my opinion.
Absolutely, I'm wondering if he means like scott stapp cuz I feel like Scott tried to do some of the same stuff at times. I'm excited that pearl jam is going on tour this year!!!
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life; I know you’ll be a star In somebody else’s sky; but why Still gives me chills and I’ve loved Eddie and this song since I was like 11 years old
Another artist who has left his mark as one of the most amazing voices!! You may have to pull up the lyrics for some of his music. This song was so raw with emotion from his heartbreak from splitting up with his girlfriend. His songs hit your soul. Great reaction!
This is my favorite band of all time!!!!! Your reaction was seriously so refreshing! How you saw the range and style Eddie is capable of was really fun to watch. Like I watched it for the first time for the millionth time. Keeeeeep being you! ❤
You really should react to something more recent and incredible by Pearl Jam. How about "Pearl Jam - Just Breath live at Austin City Limits". Ed still has it and continues to. This is all about the lyrical meaning and absolute great acoustic instrumental.
He and the lead singer of Creed were often compared, although neither one of them liked it! So maybe that's who Eddie reminds you of? You should listen to their songs "Yellow Ledbetter, and "Jeremy. Both fantastic!
Definitely one of my faves. This song is deeply personal. The lyrics are fire. We've all had that first love that we knew was forever. So hard to recover from. Great job ❤
I just watched a couple of your grunge reactions and nice work man. I can tell you are really appreciating the music. Pearl Jam had a heap of great songs. A couple of the albums were near perfection. Grunge was an awesome soundtrack to a wild post school life. I saw them a couple of times in Australia. Once in a skybox above the stage. It was epic. We need music like this today. Actual talent, musicianship, skill and emotion. Half of todays music could be done on a phone app without any skill, musical knowledge, or talent.
These 7 albums came out within 44 days of each other in late 1991. It was a very good year.: Metallica, Metallica (The Black Album) Pearl Jam, Ten Guns N’ Roses, Use Your Illusion I Guns N’ Roses, Use Your Illusion II Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blood Sugar Sex Magik Soundgarden, Badmotorfinger Nirvana, Nevermind
@@newgrl Yeah, epic times. I saw them all live. There were also big albums from U2, Lenny Kravitz, Sepultura, Smashing Pumpkins, Faith No More, Cypress Hill, REM, Primal Scream etc. By the end of the decade, the guitar solo had mostly been killed off and most tunes had become simple bar chord affairs. 1990 to about 1996 was a real sweet spot for quality music.
You have to do Jeremy by them. Is based on a true story. The lead singer Eddie Vedder went to school with a boy that shot himself in the classroom. That's what Jeremy is about. It's heartbreaking 💔
@@brianforrester9670 You're right. The part about getting hit with a surprise left is something that DID happen to Eddie by a guy that he was picking on in school in San Diego. Separate events from the events of Jeremy.
There are tons of guys that came after Pearl Jam that tried to "imitate" Eddie's sound. You might be thinking of Creed (Scott Stapp). This performance was from 1992.
@@glaucionazario Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, Audioslave) Chris invited Eddie to sing "Hunger Strike" with him on the album Temple of the Dog. Chris was a mentor when Pearl Jam was first starting. But they each have their own unique voice.
Eddie Vedder is a a huge Jackson 5/Michael Jackson fan. You can hear the influence throughout this performance but most people would never put it together. Good job on your part.
I'm thinking perhaps you heard them in passing back in school? He really does have that kind of voice that if you heard it even briefly a few times, years later you might hear it again and recognize it. My understanding is that he was actually very ill when they did this, a flu or something, and he had been particularly worried about doing this song, which is pretty demanding vocally. He seems to deliberately push himself, maybe to psyche himself up to it? Or maybe he just didn't want to use the sickness as an excuse for laying back. I believe some of the people you can hear really whooping towards the end were friends of his in the audience, aware of how he was feeling, encouraging him, and being impressed by how great he still sounded...
If i would put my wager in, i would say that the sound reminds you of the great singer/guitarist/songwriter Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Nirvana were both pioneers of Grunge, an music style born in Seattle.
With all due respect, I'm sure whoever you were thinking of sounded like Eddie. He is among the grunge gods. (Though I understand your frame of reference is based off of when you learned of them, not when they were released) Eddie Vedder's voice is iconic though.
Emotionally his maturity may remind you of Neil Young. He is able to express the song in a similar way as Neil, though in my opinion Eddie surpassed Neil in his ability to live within the emotion of the lyrics. Vocally, the ease with which he flips between head voice, falsetto, and diaphragm combined with his breath control make him superior to most, though Cornell had more octaves and was equally expressive. Great reaction!
Eddie Vedder was a _master_ lyricist with both an incredible voice and stage presence. But enunciation was... not so important. Sometimes, I'm not sure even Eddie knew what he was singing in Yellow Ledbetter. If you listen to more Pearl Jam, I strongly suggest you bring up the lyrics somewhere and follow along. The recorded song is a little bit different than this, but I think you would see the genius a bit better if you could understand more of what was said. "And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything." One of my favorite lyrics lines of all time, from any band is: "I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky. But why can't it be mine?"
You can’t figure it out? Nobody can fully understand it. It’s written metaphorically. The best Eddie did was tell us it was about a chick he loved and lost. Thanks. Not helpful. We all kinda picked that up. He’s annoying. It’s been almost 32 years. Help your fans out.
He doesn’t sound like anyone. Other people sound like him. He is unique in how he sang and others copied.
Great reaction. Thanks.

Other songs by Pearl Jam, even flow, Alive, and Jeremy, their Album ten, is a masterpiece

Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains are both my fav grunge bands, depending on my moods lol✌
If he didn´t hear pearl jam before it´s just logical that Eddie reminds him of someone else, lol.
@@hplitzko8477 I know. My point is whoever Eddie reminded him of got the sound and style from Eddie.
100%
yodel is a vibrato. Eddie is pure soul and perfect tone.
Pearl Jam is amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Even flow, Alive, Jeremy and Porch just to name a few
I love this song and this live version. I have seen this so many times and it just gets me each time.
Eddie Vedder, has that unique voice
He said “I saw the T shirts” LOLOL I like you immediately.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know 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 probably reminds/makes you think of Chris Cornell who around the same time was in Soundgarden. Especially at the beginning of this song
Such a beautiful voice with raw emotion. 🔥
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life;
I know you’ll be a star
In somebody else’s sky; but why
Still gives me chills and I’ve loved Eddie and this song since I was like 11 years old
One of my favorite performances! Such a great song! 🖤
Maybe you heard some Temple of the Dog and that's why you recognize his voice.

Lol. That’s funny. I’ve never liked Creed, but love PJ.
To me more of a comp to Staind... Yellow Ledbetter, Footsteps and this top PJ songs
Great song.

One of my favorite bands
Going on tour this year too!!!
So happy you did this reaction!! I saw them in Concert in 2013.. They blew the roof off❤❤❤😊😊

Eddie didn't go to school with him. He read the story in a newspaper (Jeremy Wade Delle).

But do the uncensored version
Your smile at the end said it all. Awesome reaction man!
Back to back legends
Suggestion, Pearl Jam Even Flow official video and Jeremy uncensored official music video!! Incredible!! Thank You, Awesome reaction 😊💓🤘✌️
Great reaction!🤘🏽
Band, Temple of the Dog the song is Hunger Strike, amazing!!
Even Flow, Alive, Last Kiss are good ones to check out
No love for yellow ledbetter?
@@meliplay that’s a good one too
@@Natasha-ty7oo it has one if the best grooves of the decade.
Eddie Vedder has a one of kind voice. No one has a voice like his.
This is Eddie Veder….All others set-out to sound like Eddie.
You should react to "Jeremy." It's a very good song about actual events in Jeremy's life, and Eddie Vedders, the lead singer.
Pearl Jam is touring this year!! I'm doing everything I can to get a ticket.
I’m seeing them in a few weeks! First time.
@@AshleyStern-wq5dl awesome! It'll be epic
It cuts deep
He sounds like Eddie Vedder. Whoever you think sounds like him sounds like him. Not the other way around.
Eddie = GOAT

No no no, I believe is Cris Cornell( Audioslave )

You might be thinking of Scott Stapp of Creed, but I always felt he was imitating Eddie Vedder.
I thought the exact same thing Scott Stapp cuz he always tried to do that low kinda growl sound, idk how to describe it but its what EV does alot.
Please do some Foo Fighters so a bunch of of can come back and watch!! 🙏🤘

He has a voice similar to Crash test dummies.
Was old enough but never heard them.
🔥
Yeah, It's all done by emotions this one....

Your thinking of Chris Cornell from sound Garden and Audio slave
I was kinda thinking of Godsmack as well!
Maybe you were thinking of Jim Morrison... but Ed is unique
Just think - Eddie Vedder had a bronchial cold when they recorded this

Grunge, if you have ever cleaned out your gutters, is what that black stuff is called at the bottom. Halfway between mud and crap.
Eddie vedder original voice
You went to high school in the late '90's??? You look much younger than that lol.
Thanks Elaine lol.. I use good skin care lol
@@MugnifyRTS hmmm...it's working! :)
Eddie Vedder doesn’t sound like anyone. Other people sound like him.
People sound like eddie. He doesn't sound like anyone
Grunge
That band you were trying to think of was likely Stone Temple Pilots. In their early days, they copied Pearl Jam shamelessly.
Why are all these reaction videos reacting to the same Live version?
It's Creed. Unsubscribed.
You can’t figure it out? Nobody can fully understand it. It’s written metaphorically. The best Eddie did was tell us it was about a chick he loved and lost. Thanks. Not helpful. We all kinda picked that up. He’s annoying. It’s been almost 32 years. Help your fans out.
He's probably reminding you of the lead singer from Alice in chains cause you did a reaction to them recently. Maybe I could be wrong
