There's always more Pearl Jam. You have to listen to Jeremy, Do the Evolution, Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town, Yellow Ledbetter, and Even Flow
pls react to Walkin' by Ocean Wisdom. amazing rapper from London that is, somehow, not very well-known!
Hey Knox love you reactions ❤ Ive been kind of repeating myself over and over ( I know you mos likely do not see my comments ) I really wish to hear your breakdown of Milo J and Bzrp session. I think is an inspiration and example that we can all benefit from hearing/feeling ❤❤❤ Lots of love from Bulgaria ❤
“Jeremy” by Pearl Jam
Taylor Swift’s “Death By A Thousand Cuts” live from Paris video. It’s acoustic, great lyrics, she looks and sounds great…so I think you’ll really like it.
The MTV unplugged days were the best days
They NEED to bring it back!!
Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam. This album was the soundtrack of High school! Black one of best songs ever. Could close my eyes and listen to his voice for days!!! Legend. Know u must do more Pearl Jam!!! Alive, Evenflow, Betterman, and MV if Jeremy a masterpiece! ❤✌️
#facts
I wish they would bring back MTV unplugged. My kids will never know the joy.
Yes. Alice In Chains Unplugged? Masterful.
100 percent. We were the last generation to have been able to witness this great show.
Fucking Eddie VEDDER 😮one of the most heartbreaking performances ever😊
❤You can tell it wasn't written by a team of producers, right?
Only better version is at the Chris Cornell tribute concert.
@@dismaltimestamp5995 That is gutwrenching!
Yep
One of the most heartbreakingly selfish, yet loving lines ever sang about the star in somebody else’s sky.
I've cried so many tears over the years to that line😭😭
I’m still crying to it… every time
"why can it be mine" stings everytime
Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, and Layne Staley of Alice in Chains are widely considered to be the “Big Four” of Grunge music. Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots was another big voice of the era.
Sadly only one of them is still here.
A lot of Pearl Jam fans actually argue that PJ was the origin of the grunge movement.
@@lislbrink4272 Such a stupid thing to argue over. What is there to win?!
@@soude85 Yeah, it was mostly born out of the resentment for Nirvana I think 😄 The grunge movement took a lot of attention away from the bands that were big at that time (like Guns 'n Roses etc.). The fickle audience it created ended the life span of those bands sooner than it would've otherwise. Not everyone was happy about that...
Yes. This ❤
Ed was suffering from a head cold during this performance, and his voice is still incredible. Ed, Chris, and Layne are all legendary vocalists from this era.
Yes, preach
My 3 favorites!! ❤❤❤
Every damn great performance sone moron has to comment about the lead singer being sick for no reason!
Hey its their best performance but they had diarrhea or the flue, stubbed toe, hang nail, headache, std something! God it's annoying!
He's the last of the Grunge Era. We need to wrap him in bubble wrap. Love his version of Hard Sun is worth a listen too.
After 10 I seriously thought Eddie would be the first to pass yet he is the only surviver.
@@genxhippie3973 They were so smart after Ten - they got a grip on their addictions and stepped back from the fame and resisted becoming bigger and bigger. I don’t think they’d be around if they hadn’t made that choice to not try to replicate the lightning in a bottle of Ten.
@@khills agreed, stopping making videos and the fight with ticketmaster saved them for the long haul. Ed was pretty self destructive for a minute after Jeremy blew up.
@@genxhippie3973 Sadly a hallmark of the era. I’m glad he (and the rest of them!) were in a better place by the time I ended up in Seattle. Seattle of the late 90s/early 2000s was a fantastic place to be for a music lover - so many people in one very compact space; and Eddie was 100% one of the people who organized a lot of the cool pop up performances and random mashups of performers.
@@khills I moved to Oregon in 90, got to see most of the bands on club/theater circuit on the cheap $5-15. It was a special moment in time and a great one to be 21 😂
Need to do Jeremy by Pearl Jam. Such an emotional and deep song.
The reason for all the movement in the chair is because they weren't allowed to get up on Unplugged. You can see the struggle to stay in the seat was real for Eddie
I'm glad you're reacting to the MTV Unplugged version of this. That was one of the greatest ways to experience bands back in the day. Wish it was still a thing.
This is the best version of Black you could have possibly watched! I was lucky enough to be at their concert in Philly April 29, 2016 when they played the entire Ten album front to back. Amazing night I will never forget.
That line - but why - why can’t it be mine?
Cuts so SO deep. When you’ve loved and lost like that you feel every bit of it.
Eddie went on a journey during this performance and we’re just lucky to tag along for the ride.
Pearl Jam was grunge. Eddie was an amazing vocialist. I'm extremely thankful to grew up during the grunge era.
He still is. And he still sounds the same.
Eddie Vedder's voice has one of the most interesting voices. Pulls me right in every time. Appreciate your reaction and the variety of musical artists you're reacting to over and above rap. I always appreciate your perspective.
Knox is the only person to decipher what eddy is saying lol
I have been into this BAND since the very beginning. Eddy's voice is so overpowering that people often overlook the band, who are beyond belief. Cheers
MTV Unplugged... should have called it Midas, 'cause almost everything it touched turned to solid gold. Pearl Jam is one of the big four Grunge bands from the early 90s, all of which shared one thing in common: each had a once-in-a-generation sort of voice leading them - Kurt Cobain for Nirvana, Layne Staley for AIC, Chris Cornell for Soundgarden, and here Eddie Vedder for Pearl Jam.
The song itself is gorgeus, but Ed's voice and raw emotion in this performance just takes it to a whole other(wordly) level. If you'd take some suggestions for Pearl Jam: Jeremy, the official ucensored video for the music and the message, and Porch live at Pinkpop '92 for the sheer lunacy of the live show (still an amazing song). Lots of love Knox!
This music is my teens. The best and most soulful line he sings is, “I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I’ll you’ll be the sun….in somebody else’s sky.” Touches every part of my grunge soul. Love your voice Vedder, it hit.
My favorite reactor reacting to my favorite song. Love it!
It's not just his fantastic voice, but his mannerisms, how he uses his hands, and facial expressions, as well, putting it into a package as a play, telling a story, or, as you say, a beautiful piece of art! This guy simply amazes me. Everybody loves him! He's so humble, and is also really great at doing covers, i.e. U2's "One"!
There was before Pearl Jam. And, then I heard Pearl Jam and music shifted into a different gear. Ten was a watershed album.
Ten is timeless.
The Goat. The beauty of music is it can bring back the past. Like ghosts returning to haunt your emotions. I love this song.
You know how sometimes songs just pop in your head, *this* is always the song that hits me.
There's so many great songs, all the Ten album, Better Man, Daughter, Yellow Ledbetter, Just Breathe, Last Kiss and so many more.
Duets with other artists, (Chris Cornell) Temple Of The Dog's Hunger Strike was Eddie's first studio recording, before Pearl Jam formed.
Love your reactions Knox!! It’s hard for me to believe you never heard Pearl Jam
He’s young tho so that’s probably why
I've heard of Pearl Jam, but no have never listened to them. Remember I'm from a hip hop community in PG. I was raised on Nas, Em, Big Pun, Jay Z, etc.. that's my lane. Enjoying branching out 🤟
@@KnoxHilloh no too much info what goes on the porcelain throne! 🤣 Loved this reaction to Pearl Jam.
Eddie has such a unique voice, no one sounds like him. I can tell a song is a Pearl Jam song even if I've never heard it before, just by hearing his voice.
The MTV Unplugged concerts are so good. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Staind, and so many other great artist.
And he's proved the solo thing time and time with great success
If you want to see a good live performance w8th Eddie "standing up," "Even Flow" is great.
I highly recommend the official music video for "Jeremy," which is no longer censored as it was in the 90s. It's in part about a real boy who was bullied until he sh0t himself in front of his class. Mind you, this was years before Columbine. Pretty much anything from their MTV Unplugged is worth a listen, especially "Alive."
Still touring, and still awesome live.
I love this song soooo much. This song always makes me I cry. So much anguish in his voice. This part gets me every time.
“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
Why can't it be mine”
I was lucky enough to see Pearl Jam with my dad (Ottawa 2022) and they are INCREDIBLE live. Highly recommend reacting to Just Breathe!
Eddie Vedder saved me from seriious harm.
Iin 1993 I went to see them as a 16 year old.
During the concert the crowd moved forward and i got trampled.
I was on the floor and people were standing on top of me.
Ed saw what was happening and called to rhe audience to get me up.
I was crowdsurfed over to security with nothing more than a few bruises.
This was even before Roskilde, and only when that happened, I realised how lucky I had been.
Yess!! Eddie Vedder 🖤 I love pearl jam. Eddies soul comes out in everysong. ✌️🖤
“All the pictures have been washed in Black tattooed everything” when your life becomes so dark and you’re in pain and sorrow.. ❤
Eddie Vedder is so class! He wrote the soundtrack to my favorite movie INTO THE WILD - thats soooo epic, you should watch it and digest every single song...
This is also up there in the top 2 of MTV Unplugged them and NIRVANA
Love this ❤!! Eddie Vedder is one of a kind
Oh that voice of his! He’s just on his own level. So captivating! I just melt hearing his voice!
Backing vocals; Jeff Ament bass and Stone Gossard rhythm guitar
I have been on Pearl Jam trip recently and this is my favorite live performance ever
Heartbreak in a song. One of my all time favorites, and this performance is simply untouchable. Was just listening to this earlier today. 💜💜💜
staylist
Man i miss those days especially mtv back then
Knox breaking down my favorite song and artist of all time! 🔥
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn.
This is my favorite song by them. They are amazing and I have seen them live a few times, my favorite time at Red Rocks. Amazing band!
When you see someone singing this song with closed eyes, just hug them.
Thanks for the reaction.
This performance is a great example of performing rather than just singing a song. It is clearly very personal to Eddie and he is invested in message behind this song.
Honestly any song from them or especially other songs from the unplugged are all worth a listen and also Eddie verdere solo albums all worth a listen or reaction
Knox, Pearl Jam is one of my favorite bands. So happy you're doing this one!! All the so called "grunge" lead singers had amazing voices. You should check out some Alice In Chains (Down in a Hole, maybe), and some Soundgarden (Outshined).
You need to break down “Jeremy” unedited music video. And I think you’ll like his almost rapping style delivery in “eveflow”
Loved the reaction Knox. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, Eddie's vocals are delivered with so much raw emotion. Legendary band. 🤘😃
These were the best thing MTV ever did the Unplugged sessions were Epic. 1st Guest was Eric Clapton then years passed they did Alice In Chains then Pearl Jam. You can order I know Unplugged Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam Unplugged on CD.
Eddie Vedder is truelly a one of a kind vocalist, but the combination of him and Chris Cornell is even better.... . But back on Pearl Jam, the song Jeremy is also something you should enjoy, as well as his song Even Flow. Take care brother. Keep doing what you're doing
Temple of the dog
@@Lordforhead if you know you know...
truth
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life, I know you’ll be a star, in somebody’s else’s sky, but why, why, why can’t it be, can’t it be in mine. - Painful beautiful poetry.
I'm so glad to watch you react to this song. You can hear the album version and it can move you but it's not until you watch Eddie in this performance when you realize what that relationship really meant to him, the way he sang that is why this is one of the best live performances ever.
This is only the 2nd reaction I watch feom you but I have really enjoyed your insight and your appreciation foe the talent, lyrics, voice, everything is wonderful.
Vedder loves the whole sea/surf/Hawaii life and has a couple of solo albums with him and a uke. Well worth a listen!
I have tickets to see them again this year and cannot wait! What a band! If you fancy it, check out Better Man live at Madison Square Garden. I don't think there's much better then hearing an epic crowd take over a song. It's amazing!
One of the best intros ever .. that beautiful guitar.. and then Eddie singing at the start “Heeeeyyyyeeeeyyy”❤
Love this song and this performance ❤️ When you mentioned that you thought bands generally have singers you wouldn't want to hear solo, I immediately thought of the crazy talent of the late Chris Cornell (RIP). Eddie (of PJ) and his voice together in Hunger Strike - Temple of the Dog would be another cool one to see you react to! 🤘
I miss the days when music was about something. I’m so glad I grew up in the 90s.
Been listening to that song since the 90's and still gives me goosebumps. What a performance.
Knox gives a damn. not just dialing through the repeated BS. This man is invested... He listens, he hears every word and sentence and cadence. I have learned so damn much from Knox. .
His voice is so breathtaking and beautiful. Pearl Jam has some of the most raw, striking, and haunting songs from the era of grunge. I never get tired of listening to them, all the way back to the 90’s to now. Great song and reaction choice from the Patreon requester. ❤️💔❤️
My favorite song, especially this version
I just saw, and I'll give it to you, you earned all those 1.17M.
This song really pulls out some unresolved emotions from me every time I hear it. Glad you reacted to it Knox.
Just and FYI so you are aware...he screwed up the first bridge but hey it happens and it makes it iconic. Check out Jeremy and Better Man 😊 Also he was in a band with the late Chris Cornell called Temple Of The Dog, they have a GREAT song called Hunger Strike. ❤
Knox should DEFINITELY react to Hunger Strike!
As a fan of Pearl Jam from the beginning I have to say your interpretation of this song was the most thoughtful and beautiful I've ever heard. I'm glad you get it. ✌️🤟🤙
I was there in Seattle and feeling old! Still singing along!
You have no idea just how long I've been patiently waiting for you to react to this, ever since you reacted to Jeremy, I've been waiting for it (pretty sure I even suggested it at the time). I saw the video, then channel, insta-click & like! LET'S GOOOO!!!! This song is DEEEEEEEEEP and so packed with emotion!!
Knox, take a dive into the pearl jam rabbit hole. You won't be disappointed!
I am so so excited youre doing this song!!!!!
Love the rock/ metal reactions, can we please get a Coheed and Cambria reaction?
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!! Please! Love Coheed and Cambria!
Eddie was sick with the flu for this live MTV concert, hence the stool( no pun intended!) He would climb up the framework of stages (see him in “pink pop “ concert) and stage dive into the crowd. The man was an absolute energy powerhouse back in those days!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great review! Thx!
Laura from Baltimore Md USA
Great reaction! PJ’s amazing, Eddie Vedder’s the last of the major 90’s grunge lead singers left. Please also check Chris Cornell’s covers of Billie Jean & Nothing Compares to you. Along w/ the many many other music from Nirvana, Pearl Jam & Soundgarden
I love Pearl Jam!!! One of my favorite bands!!! 💚🖤
This song is timeless
your incredibly quick lyric analysis always lets me understand these old songs I love even more
Loved your reaction. I saw Pearl Jam in concert. They’re amazing live.
One of the only bands ever that is soo good live that it sounds produced, even when you're there. I seen them many times in the early to mid 90's, there was nothing like them. The era all together was like that
Thanks Knox, I've watched this vid so many times and it always delivers such a gut punch. Eddie was in the moment and delivered such an emotional performance.
We had some pretty amazing talent in the vocalist department around this time. Eddie Vedder in Pearl Jam, Layne Staley in Alice in Chains, Chris Cornell in Soundgarden (then Chris did some awesome stuff with Audioslave). And all of those bands (as well as Curt Cobain in Nirvana) knew how to write fantastic music with poetic and profound lyrics when they wanted to.
I think you would appreciate hearing Eddie Vedder performing the song he did for the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary concert/album. He did “Masters of War” and it is sooooo good!
It would also be great to see you dive into some more Alice In Chains. Unlike most people, I do not recommend the Unplugged versions of these. To me, watching Layne was just sad and he lacked his usual power. We were watching a dead man walking on that show. Just go with the regular video or album versions instead. Some good ones to get you started are:
Rooster
Down In A Hole (talk about some poetic lyricism…this definitely has that in spades)
Would?
Them Bones
Rain When I Die
Really enjoyed this analysis! Actually got me to reflect more on some of the lyrics as I’m usually just dragged into the emotion of the performance.
Good to see a guy as a Rapper seeing this type of content and spreading it. Subscribed till.now.
Aye you the goat for this one. I’ve seen Pj 6 times. THEYRE INCREDIBLE LIVE
@Knox
I have watched several dozen people react to this performance. You are certainly one of the better reactions.
Always enjoy your content! Pearl Jam is a band that I'm happy to watch with you. :)
Oh my god yes, hype
Finally a meaningful deep reaction to this song!!! Thank you!!! 👏🏼
The younger generation reactors I just watched had no fkn clue 😂
i was in my 20's and knew of pearl Jam and heard this on the radio but it never really grabbed until now seeing the live performance - its unlike anything else live ive experienced before
Experiencing Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam live is something you never forget. They’re incredible live. And they’ve all done side projects and/or solo stuff over the years but always return to the group to create this kind of magic. PJ’s original singer died from an overdose. As I remember the story Eddie was living down in San Diego and doing a lot of surfing. I think he heard they were looking for a new singer and he sent them a demo cassette. He got the call and went up to Seattle and the rest is history.
In addition to PJ stuff check out Eddie’s Ukulele Songs and his soundtrack work from Dead Man Walking and Into the Wild. And don’t miss Hunger Strike with Eddie and Chris Cornell from their side project Temple of the Dog. I saw that as a live acoustic performance at Lollapalooza and it was incredible.
Eternal props that every single suggested video you had was a reaction channel!
I can't believe you've never heard of this band. This is one of my favorite bands in the mid-90s
We named our son Eddie because of Vedder
I remember seeing Eddie Vedder in Orlando in the 90's as an up abd coming band with this album but until I heard this version of Black I had no frigging idea of how good and deep his song writing and singing were. WOW
THIS is the song I wanted to hear your reaction. The album TEN is second to none. Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam are releasing another album this month. Btw Black was recorded in 1991. Eddie Vedder just celebrated is 59th birthday.
For me... this song is the greatest piece of poetry written in my almost 60 years of life.
Lyrical brilliance that makes you feel the pain of a breakup in a way that no other written words have ever done... that I know of.
That falsetto you were admiring is Jeff Ament, who plays bass. You should definitely check out more Pearl Jam - their first album, Ten, is rightfully consistently voted one of the best albums of all time. If you want another song that’s going to punch you in the narrative, try Jeremy.
Eddie Vedder one of the best vocalist.
