@@robbob5302 There wasn't a singular "spokesman" for the grunge gen. There was also Layne Staley, Chris Cornell, Mark Arm and Kurt Cobain, among others. Eddie was one of the great vocalists and songwriters, for sure.
@@inkoinfinity2 Also, there were plenty of other studio tricks that people used before autotune. LONG before autotune. Many of your favorite artists have vocals that are at the very least doubled (though often layered even more than that) to "thicken" them up, they do a million takes to get the notes right, you've got tons of effects to give voices width and depth that doesn't translate into a recording, FX + mic volumes set to make very quiet voices sound loud, and, when necessary, you could speed up or slow down a tape or whatever to tweak notes in sort of a primitive version of autotune. And when all else failed, you could bring in another singer to "sweeten" the vocal track by adding another layer below the main vocal. Not to mention all the "classic" songs and artists from any decade who were mainly talk-singing rather than actually singing. Also, let's not pretend every band from any time period was amazing. Every decade has trash. We only remember the good ones because the bad ones fade away (unless they make some sort of novelty song or one-hit wonder). This myth that every pre-2000s singer was a virtuoso and ever since then (coincidentally, ever since the "nostalgia bubble" of various commenters' teens and twenties ended) every artist has been a talentless hack is egocentric nonsense perpetuated by people who don't understand the truth: they're approaching mid-life, what they're actually feeling is the sadness of their youth slipping away, and they're projecting their existential anger at the relentless march of time on anything that's "different" from their prime years. They're shaking their metaphorical fists at the kids who are metaphorically walking on their metaphorical lawn. And they're blaming it on fences not working as well as they used to. The evidence of this? Literally every single generation feels the same about the music (and movies and fashion and culture) of their teens and twenties (back when life was simpler and the world was their oyster). For every commenter who says "the 90s was the best time to grow up and had the best music," there's an older person who thinks the 90s were garbage and the 80s were the best time. And an even older person who thinks the 80s and everything after were garbage and the 70s was the best time to be a teen with the best music, etc, etc. I still remember my maternal grandmother telling me that Guns 'N' Roses was "not music" because they were "just banging things together while one guy screams" unlike the music she grew up with, and my other grandparents telling me how Michael Jackson's "Thriller" wasn't music because "it doesn't have any melodies," unlike their Big Band music such as Glenn Miller and the like. "Good music" isn't an objective reality, it's a matter of perspective that the briefest glance at the eternally repeating pattern easily reveals. Talk to a Gen-Z kid (who's currently living the years that will eventually become the time they're nostalgic for) and you'll find they connect just as hard with the modern music many older commenters under reaction videos hate as those commenters did to what was popular when they were young. And, eventually, those Gen-Z kids will look back on the music, movies, and fashions of today as "the best" while they call everything that comes after garbage. Why? Because they're making their best memories with that music as the soundtrack and its that emotional/memory connection to music that makes it "the best." Whatever you were listening to when you were having your first loves, your first breakups, your good times with friends, your sad, lonely times, etc... THAT'S what's going to resonate with you, no matter the decade, genre, or recording technique. There have always been people who can sing really well live... AND there have always been artists who needed a little technological help. Heck, you can go all the way back to Janis Joplin--a legendary vocalist--and discover that, if you read interviews from the folks who signed her, they wanted to get her into the studio quickly because--while emotionally hard-hitting--her live vocals were not consistent or on-key enough to put on record. They knew she needed a studio with lots of takes to translate the "magic" of the potential they heard live. If they'd had autotune back then, Janis would've been autotuned all to hell and back. And, as long as Janis got close enough to the notes in the take, you'd probably never notice. The only artists where you really hear the autotune are (a) the ones who crank it up for effect, (b) rappers who can rap their buttocks off but can't sing a lick (nor do they really need to, as it's not their forte), or (c) producer-puppets signed for their looks and/or personality (looking at you, Britney Spears!) and who just plain can't sing anywhere near the notes, leaving the computer to do all the heavy lifting. Otherwise, for most, it's very subtle, shifting notes a half-step here or there to tighten up a take that has the "magic" in it but isn't technically perfect. Doesn't mean they CAN'T do it, just that they didn't on a take that was otherwise "the one." And why do that? Because it's faster and cleaner than the pre-autotune way of punching in or editing different takes together and trying to make them match (given how many takes they did and how much they tweaked stuff in the studio, the Beatles would've loved some autotune rather than having to splice tape together or punch in--again!-- to a limited track recording that's already getting muddy). Taking an emotional step back, I think we can all agree that humans have a tendency to give a lot of leeway to live performances vs. studio recordings. If a band you like is slightly off time, off pitch, misses a note here, drops a lyric there, or hits a bit of a clunker along the way, you forgive it. Still, there's a reason that whenever a band releases a "live" album, it's almost always made up of performances taken from various shows on the tour and not all just taken from one show (despite how they present it on record to sound like a single show). They pick the best performed and leave the ones that fell flat on the cutting room floor. The biggest "problems" in the modern era are that (1) technology has democratized music and the traditional gatekeepers are losing ground, so more people than ever can put music out independently (or with a small label behind them) without necessarily being vetted for talent so, obviously, you're gonna hear more junk than ever, meaning the good artists--of which there are just as many as ever--get a little lost and harder to find in the suddenly much larger crowd; (2) technology allows more people than ever to enhance their actual abilities, meaning you'll get a lot more stuff that sounds decent as a produced track but which they can't replicate live; and (3) related to the first two, like everything else in the world, the people in the music biz have gotten more sophisticated at playing the game (and gaming the system) and, of course, the money people aren't going to pass up the opportunity to put someone with looks and charisma up front to make lots of money, even if that means they have to do some studio trickery to make the audio portion passable. Personally, I don't see these as problems. They're just different. The upside is that, without the traditional gatekeepers, we also get to discover a lot of artists we never would've heard otherwise because maybe they didn't have "the look" or some producer didn't think they had "it," or maybe because their chosen style doesn't match what's currently popular, or just because they didn't luck into the right place at the right time to be discovered. How many potentially great musicians from past decades never got heard because they just never got that break? And, finally, here's the other thing nobody wants to talk about: All these folks who say "the [insert decade when commenter was young]'s were the best time to grow up, with the best music, kids today don't know what good music is, and everything current is garbage"? Ask any one of them where they're going to listen to new music, what bands they've heard, what kind of modern genres they're digging into, etc. and 97% of the time you're going to get a blank look and vapor-lock. Why? Because they don't actually listen to anything new or seek out artists or songs other than what they hear a snippet of in passing somewhere. There are PLENTY of great and talented musicians today, just as there always has been, but these people who are complaining don't actually seek them out or have any idea that they even exist. They hear a sh***y pop song in passing and pass judgement on an entire generation. It's silly.
Hard to argue that. It was so radio-heavy when I was growing up but this was one of those rare songs that I never grew tired of and its still giving me chills in 23
The best POPULAR song, I would agree. But there are so many gems in their discography. And some of them are better than others in totally different ways. Given To Fly is probably one of my all time faves. But there are so SO many more. My last PJ show was this past September. I cried like a baby. 😂
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life... I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky... but why... whay can't it be mine?" F'ing hell that gets me every single time I hear it. 30+ years, 100's of listens and it still freakin' gets me...
In the early 1990's, four bands emerged from the obscure Seattle underground, and took the world by storm. They were: Pearl Jam Nirvana Alice in Chains Soundgarden Collectively, they were known as "Grunge." Please check each of these amazing bands out.
It's a heartbreak song. When it debuted, it was the perfect song for me at the time. 30 some years later I listen to it with deep gratitude and respect for its ability to capture the devastation of a relationship. However, it is not one of my go to songs when driving or bopping around the house getting cleaning done. Pearl Jam is deep and glorious hole to fall into. This is just the beginning.
I love how enamoured with Eddie you were! I was a teenager in the 90's and I think Eddie ruined me for every other guy, because I mean who could ever possibly complete with both that gorgeaous hair and the incredible passion and soul of his voice/lyrics?! 🖤🖤
Me too! Eddie was the ultimate. And Chris Cornell. I saw Pearl Jam in 1991 and 1992 when I was 13-14 and I have always wished for more men in the world like him.
No no no - not the early 2000s. By the late 90s and early 2000s rock music had gone way downhill. This was the early 90s, one of the greatest periods for music of all time. I was too young to appreciate it at the time but wow, just look at the albums released in 1991 alone - Nirvana - Nevermind, Pearl Jam - Ten, Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger, Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Metallica - Black Album, REM - Out of Time, U2 - Achtung Baby, etc. And 1992, 1993, and 1994 are equally impressive. So many of these bands were from Seattle - the whole Grunge scene came out of there and it exploded on the scene with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, etc.
I don’t think she’s saying it’s late 90’s or 2000’s music. I think she’s saying that because it sounds like it, ya know, bands like Creed, Nickelback, Staind etc. Who did that yarling thing that Eddie started. Post-grunge.
The best part about Ed is he as beautiful as a human as he is sexy..so empathetic and caring, not to mention the passionate, intense voice and the poetry like songwriting skills. Grateful to have had this voice in my life for decades. It's soothing to your soul. Many of us female fans say we would like to be Ed's microphone in our next life. 😆Pearl Jam live is just on another level. They are phenomenal. Saw them 2x last year and amazing always.
Did you pay attention to what he was singing? Put the infatuation aside, listen to the song again and and what Eddie is singing and I guarantee you'll have a new appreciation to what he demonstrated here.
I can vividly remember watching this show on MTV with my girlfriend at the time and her saying "I don't know who did that to him but I hate her" afterwards. This song, especially this version, is so full of emotion. You can feel the angst and the pain in Eddie's voice.
He wrote this song about his divorce and living the loss of his love. The "we belong together" part was adlibbed for the live performance. still very powerful performance by the entire band. Check out the official release too
i wanted to like this channel but all the stopping to talk about jack black was over the top. every comment was jack black and he is good looking. one of the greatest live vocals of all time deserved better. sorry.
Saw them back in the late 90's in an outdoor theater and it was pouring, but the band went on and put on a fantastic show even though they were getting wet too. One of my more favorite bands!
Back when mainstream music was amazing, and not just random noise on the radio. And back when the mainstream singers could sing, and the bands right lyrics and music. I've become old.. I accept my role. Back in my days, the music was just better.
This album TEN is one of my all time favorite albums of all time! And this song may be my absolute favorite all time and this live performance was brilliant, the whole set. I love MTV Unplugged! When as kids, teens and 20's we would do the whole "if ya were on a deserted island, what 3 lbums would you need with you, this from PJ TEN is top my list! Even still decades from my teens or 20's thisisstill in my top 3 .
Eddie actually messed up the lyrics on this live performance but he didn't choke and he made it work. I hope you get into more Pearl Jam. They're incredible. Also, I don't think your husband will mind. Even us men know that Eddie was handsome as fudge back in the day.
Yer New, we get it😉 Check out “Drop in the Park” a free concert they organized to say F.U. to Ticketmasters price gouging ways. They also had to fight with the city of Seattle to actually make it happen. One of the best live shows I’ve EVER experienced and they were just getting started. The bands GreenRiver, Malfunksion and MotherLoveBone were the keys that started PearlJam🤘🏼and the start of the greatest era in music history! 😘
Rolling Stone rightfully so voted Eddie the 7th Best Rock Vocalist of ALL TIME! They are widely considered One of the Greatest “Live” American Rock Bands of ALL Time! PJ dont put on Performances rather Experiences that some of Us are just lucky enough to have wittnessed
Eddie’s vocal style and aesthetic became so iconic during the 90’s that he was copied and imitated everywhere from other bands to SNL comedy skits. I’m sure Jack Black was making his best Eddie Vedder faces in that movie. He’s also a PJ fan and friends with Eddie. It’s always great to see younger people rediscover older music. I hope you will check out other PJ songs. They have a deep catalog of 30 years of music. Also enjoyed your amazement that Eddie can really sing live. This was before auto tune was invented and everyone had to be able to actually sing live (and PJ are known for being a great live band.) It’s sad that nowadays that surprises people.
I‘ve always seen the Jack Black face during this performance so i was so pleased someone else picked it too! Eddie’s voice is phenomenal, especially how much emotion he puts into this particular performance. If you like ridiculously good looking men with amazing voices maybe you should check out Sebastian Bach from Skid Row - maybe I Remember You or 18 and Life. Enjoyed your reaction!
This performance is from '91, and PJ came out of Seattle as one of the 'Big 4' from the grunge movement along with Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains. It sounds like late 90's, early 00's because a lot of singers from that era were trying to imitate Eddie.
Bwahahahahahaha. I grew up in Seattle BEFORE the grunge thing exploded, when it was just a dead end town combining seething alcoholism with a riotous kneejerk enjoyment of loud guitars. One thing I loved about the bands that crawled to the top was that they all had a pop sensibility while keeping the energy and intensity of punk and metal. Early Soundgarden ("Hands All Over" or "Outshined"), early Nirvana (the Bleach album) and so many other bands locally or nationally made the late 80's/early 90's a musical wonderland.
I didn't live in Seattle but was a frequent visitor at the time due to family and a die hard love of the Seahawks. I was lucky enough to be at shows at the Rebar etc. What a town and what a time.
Thanks for reacting to Pearl Jam. In this same live unplugged performance, you also need to watch "Jeremy". It always gives me goosebumps listening and watching to it, not just coz of Eddie, but the whole band. Amazing! Please watch and react to it!
Interestingly beautiful when a woman reacted to this song. All I can say is congratulations to the woman who made Eddie's world turn into black, you did a great job, we had this wonderful song that We can play every time our world turns black too.
Two types of people. The first type looks at a Ferrari and says how cool and pretty the car is, the second type understands what makes that car a Ferrari
More than 30yrs after this song was recorded and Eddie is still making women fall in love with him.
Young Eddie Vedder was prettier than most of the ladies at his shows.
JUST LIKE JOHNNY DEPP
❤
I never fell out of it! 🎉❤
Totally smiles
Watching women fall in love with Eddie is high key entertainment

Except there was,it was invented in 96, but this song does indeed predate autotune
@@inkoinfinity2 Also, there were plenty of other studio tricks that people used before autotune. LONG before autotune. Many of your favorite artists have vocals that are at the very least doubled (though often layered even more than that) to "thicken" them up, they do a million takes to get the notes right, you've got tons of effects to give voices width and depth that doesn't translate into a recording, FX + mic volumes set to make very quiet voices sound loud, and, when necessary, you could speed up or slow down a tape or whatever to tweak notes in sort of a primitive version of autotune.

Can't even tell what he's saying 90 percent of the time.
The song "Black," by Pearl Jam, was released in August 1991. The MTV Unplugged with Pearl Jam was recorded in March 1992.
Actually, I don't think it was ever released as a single if I am not mistaken.
"I know someday you'll have a beautiful life... I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky... but why... whay can't it be mine?" F'ing hell that gets me every single time I hear it. 30+ years, 100's of listens and it still freakin' gets me...

It sounds early 2000's late 90's because this is who everyone was emulating. Album released 1991.
Everybody in the early 2000's were trying to sound like Eddie from the early 90's.
You couldn't stop smiling 😊, this is one of my top 3 favorite songs of all times. Pearl jam with Eddie Vedder s voice in the 90s was tremendous.
He wrote this song about his divorce and living the loss of his love. The "we belong together" part was adlibbed for the live performance. still very powerful performance by the entire band. Check out the official release too
Eddie and his first wife, Beth, divorced in 2000, so this statement does not track.
No, he didn’t
I think you’d really like the “Oceans” performance from that same unplugged set.
Early 90's, lady.
She was crushing hard! Good for her.
Pearl Jam's music man! Something else. Always will be.
A lot of pausing here... I don't think I've ever heard this song broken into quarter-second intervals before, lol.
State of love and trust from the same unplugged performance
You just watched her fall in love w the rest of us!!! Eddie always🖤🤟
i wanted to like this channel but all the stopping to talk about jack black was over the top. every comment was jack black and he is good looking. one of the greatest live vocals of all time deserved better. sorry.
I appreciate the honesty regarding his attractiveness. Most women do not acknowledge the obvious . Tragically beautiful performance.
6:20 yup absolutely insane live performance. Miss MTV Unplugged....why the hell can't we have more of that nowadays!
Amen!
Because MTV is all ditzy reality shows these days.
This is the same reaction I had when I was 13... and the obsession remains. ❤
Yes I was also 13 and had the same reaction...but she is not 13 so that was kind of annoying 🤷♀️
You are so smitten with Eddie in this reaction.... and it's adorable!
Saw them back in the late 90's in an outdoor theater and it was pouring, but the band went on and put on a fantastic show even though they were getting wet too. One of my more favorite bands!
Thank you, most appreciated 🌹
MORE PEARL JAM! We can see you love Eddie lmao
One of the best songs by Eddie Vedder is "Just Breathe" live at Austin City Limits
I love that song.
-Wish list
-State of love and trust
-Elderly woman behind the counter in a small town.
glad you liked his looks
GORGEOUS EDDIE VEDDER!!! Love your middle name, Layne!! Great reaction!! 😊💓🤘✌️
what a great reaction !
this is the song. the best
Back when mainstream music was amazing, and not just random noise on the radio.
And back when the mainstream singers could sing, and the bands right lyrics and music.
I've become old.. I accept my role.
Back in my days, the music was just better.
Best song and lyrics ever. My all time favorite along with Yellow Ledbetter. He makes you feel his pain.
Given to Fly is my all time favorite song. Pearl Jam is the best.
Lol at the jack black reference. Spot on. 👌
Yeah, but he's expressing genuine pain here and you're enjoying it, like it's happy music.
This album TEN is one of my all time favorite albums of all time! And this song may be my absolute favorite all time and this live performance was brilliant, the whole set. I love MTV Unplugged! When as kids, teens and 20's we would do the whole "if ya were on a deserted island, what 3 lbums would you need with you, this from PJ TEN is top my list! Even still decades from my teens or 20's thisisstill in my top 3 .
You should do State and Love and Trust as well as Porch unplugged. Also Porch live at Pinkpop ‘92
Ok...secound video today, think I'm going to watch them all...
i love this woman 😭
Eddie actually messed up the lyrics on this live performance but he didn't choke and he made it work. I hope you get into more Pearl Jam. They're incredible. Also, I don't think your husband will mind. Even us men know that Eddie was handsome as fudge back in the day.
I heard that Eddie actually had a pretty heavy cold the night they recorded this performance.
I believe Eddie was sick during this performance which makes it even more impressive
you must to hear temple of the dog with Edie and Chris Cornell
Yer New, we get it😉
Check out “Drop in the Park” a free concert they organized to say F.U. to Ticketmasters price gouging ways. They also had to fight with the city of Seattle to actually make it happen. One of the best live shows I’ve EVER experienced and they were just getting started. The bands GreenRiver, Malfunksion and MotherLoveBone were the keys that started PearlJam🤘🏼and the start of the greatest era in music history!
😘
Rolling Stone rightfully so voted Eddie the 7th Best Rock Vocalist of ALL TIME! They are widely considered One of the Greatest “Live” American Rock Bands of ALL Time! PJ dont put on Performances rather Experiences that some of Us are just lucky enough to have wittnessed
Eddie’s vocal style and aesthetic became so iconic during the 90’s that he was copied and imitated everywhere from other bands to SNL comedy skits. I’m sure Jack Black was making his best Eddie Vedder faces in that movie. He’s also a PJ fan and friends with Eddie.
It’s always great to see younger people rediscover older music. I hope you will check out other PJ songs. They have a deep catalog of 30 years of music.
Also enjoyed your amazement that Eddie can really sing live. This was before auto tune was invented and everyone had to be able to actually sing live (and PJ are known for being a great live band.) It’s sad that nowadays that surprises people.
Hello wifey!(somebody's xD ) Eddie is my fav one❤
I‘ve always seen the Jack Black face during this performance so i was so pleased someone else picked it too! Eddie’s voice is phenomenal, especially how much emotion he puts into this particular performance. If you like ridiculously good looking men with amazing voices maybe you should check out Sebastian Bach from Skid Row - maybe I Remember You or 18 and Life. Enjoyed your reaction!
Michael Hutchinson from INXS is pretty gorgeous and sings beautifully!! 😊
"Legendary musicians: are they hot? Are they not? Let's find out!"
rolling back and repeat posting. this makes me smile every damn time.
That's what it's like to be a Pearl Jam fan.
He s the sexiest loll
Do "Océans" unplugged please 🥰
Most people that react to this have an emotional reaction and see his pain.......you got Jack Black and cheek bones ......... 🤔
She’s not really invested in the song. Interrupts it every few seconds. Just jumping on the trend.
This song is about pain and heartbreak and all you can do is smile the whole time and comment on how cute Eddie is? Embarrassing.
Pearl Jam is the greatest live band in the history of life and music. Eddie’s live vocals are the best ever
Led Zeppelin is the best live band.
This performance is from '91, and PJ came out of Seattle as one of the 'Big 4' from the grunge movement along with Nirvana, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains. It sounds like late 90's, early 00's because a lot of singers from that era were trying to imitate Eddie.
I also liked the Screaming Trees quite a bit
Performance was 92
I have a favorite new reaction person.....I LOVE U MISS KATHRYN♥️♥️♥️♥️KEEP DOING U QUEEN 👑👑👑
love your eyes! also Eddie can sing!
I get what you’re saying. It’s a sad song about letting go. Btw, love your channel. Keep it coming
Bwahahahahahaha. I grew up in Seattle BEFORE the grunge thing exploded, when it was just a dead end town combining seething alcoholism with a riotous kneejerk enjoyment of loud guitars. One thing I loved about the bands that crawled to the top was that they all had a pop sensibility while keeping the energy and intensity of punk and metal. Early Soundgarden ("Hands All Over" or "Outshined"), early Nirvana (the Bleach album) and so many other bands locally or nationally made the late 80's/early 90's a musical wonderland.
I didn't live in Seattle but was a frequent visitor at the time due to family and a die hard love of the Seahawks. I was lucky enough to be at shows at the Rebar etc. What a town and what a time.
Someone had a good time....😊
Thanks for reacting to Pearl Jam. In this same live unplugged performance, you also need to watch "Jeremy". It always gives me goosebumps listening and watching to it, not just coz of Eddie, but the whole band. Amazing! Please watch and react to it!
Young Eddie Vedder had some great cheek bones!
Interestingly beautiful when a woman reacted to this song. All I can say is congratulations to the woman who made Eddie's world turn into black, you did a great job, we had this wonderful song that We can play every time our world turns black too.
This was made at MTV unplugged which was the best and it was 1992
Kathryn
Please check out the song My Baby's in Love With Eddie Vedder by Weird Al Yankovic.
You will find it very relevant, I promise!
😆
This was done in 1992, nowhere near early 2000. This man can still make us women fall in love with him just watching this.
Two types of people. The first type looks at a Ferrari and says how cool and pretty the car is, the second type understands what makes that car a Ferrari
One of the best mtv unplugged...no, one of the best of live performances ever
Your eyes are amazing! 😍😍😍
90's. Totally not nirvana lol. Gorgeous song. One of the most beautiful ever written in my opinion
Your interest in all music is great. It also doesn't hurt that you speak from your soul.
The best live moment on youtube . Amazing singing
Yes girl, young Eddie could get it! 😂❤
OH MY FUCKING GOD WITH THE JACK BLACK AND HOW GOOD LOOKING HIM AND EDDIE ARE!! AHHHHHHHHH!!
Had to get it out.. screaming psycho rant over, my apologies, back to the regularly scheduled program. ✌💚💚✌️
Only song to touch heart,body,soul each and every time❤ love your reaction great job!!
All my girls are red heads and without sounding creepy, you are gorgeous
Yep another lady falling for Eddie
Eddie Vedder? Sexy? What a surprise!!😂😂😂
