If you weren't around in the 90's it's hard to convey just how impactful this song was... or how sadly relevant it remains.
Not really.
Music peaked in the mid 80s to mid 90s.pop/new wave, metal, alternative, hip hop. It's over though. Just a simulacrum or a dry husk now.
@@callahan9119 not really.
Well said.
I was around, this band barely made a blip on my radar. There's a lot of other music in this world.
I was a freshman in college when Ten was released. Words fail to describe the impact of this song and album. Alive is still haunting, 30 years later.
Yes, the studio versions on Ten lay waste to the unplugged version everyone wants just to see Eddie BUT the studio audio quality, the pristine mixes and just hearing them for the first time when it came out, makes 10 their immortal album that will always be listened to. Reactors should listen to it before doing live, they would then know what the actual song really sounds like, it sure does not sound like what she thinks it is. P!us the official video, Wow!
I was 17... more so than Nirvana. PJ had a bigger impact on me.
i was in like 6th or 7th grade…best years of my life.
I was a junior in high school and totally understand!
@@lorenzoaramirez3915 me too bro I was 15 in 1991
When Jeremy spoke in class.... everyone in that room was stained with his message for eternity.
The Seattle grunge singers have some of the most unique and amazing vocals I have heard in any genre of music. Eddie Vedder, Lane Staley, Chris Cornell and Kurt Kobain. Just magic right there.
I noticed you didn't mention Andy Wood. I fixed it for ya. Cheers
Scott Weiland too
@aceitaliano88 the worst omission. Unless chris cornell was missing of course.
Seattle reduced some of the most tortured, amazing artists. Grunge was an amazing Era of guys that felt their music... so sad to have lost so many
Yeah it’s a very sad story Rachael, bullying at school, abuse and lack of attention at home drove him to shoot himself in front of his class at school; an awful thing to end his life that way but it happens 😢.
Your reaction was very good and your gestures and remarks are special, very enjoyable ❤
Yeah, such a pleasant-sounding song to have such a dark lyric, lol. And I like how the lyric isn't overt in it's meaning. "Jeremy 'spoke' in class today", as in, the quiet kid was finally heard. Even without knowing the back-story or seeing the video, it's still easy to infer the meaning, but it's not explicit. That's good song writing.
@@Arkryal These days with all the school shootings you'd probably infer that he shot someone else but the point still remains. Sad how relevant this song is today, I don't think Eddie had any idea how bad this issue would get when he wrote it.
The original music video shows you the message of this song better than anyone could explain. I was almost that kid in high school. I just wanted the whole world to go away. I ended up finding some excuse to stay alive, and I'm glad I never went over the edge, but I came extremely close to giving up. Great reaction. Keep it metal. \m/
I am glad you are doing better mate! I was on that spot too. It sure can be tough in high school as it seems that is your whole world at that moment. If anyone reading this is struggling please don't take permanent decisions on temporary issues, sure it can be so damn draining but it will all pass someday and you'll see that life has definitely a lot more to offer.
This was one of the songs that saved my life.
Glad you're still here.
If guns in my country were easy to get hold of then this would have been me, I can assure you of that. But guns are heavily restricted here and so that path was not open to me, luckily I discovered a knife instead worked better on me than others so I took my pain out on myself than others. When I first heard this song I saw myself in it so clearly. Back then when bullying happened we were simply told "Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you. Utter BS, the name calling and bullying hurt more than any broken bones I ever had. I'm glad you ended up staying alive, glad you found a path to walk that keeps you here, continue being strong.
If it wasn't for music like this that would have been me in high school too.
I disagree with everyone saying she should’ve watched the official video. This is an incredible performance and was spot on. The video makes it all about the story and reactors always get distracted trying to follow it instead of listening to the music and vocals. This performance is classic and 🔥🔥🔥
True. But the story behind the song is in the original video. Great performance maybe best unplugged ever between them nirvana i guesss
The vast majority of us experienced the song first through the music video and it didn't take anything away from how we appreciate the music. 🤷♂
Except the audio was off. Making it look like a bad kung fu movie. Eddie’s voice never matched his lips.
Different options is a good thing mate, I agree with you, but like anything its subjective
I would never recommend that someone check out an unplugged version of a song that wasn't originally intended to be played that way BEFORE hearing the original. It's a cool alternate take, and Eddie steals the show, but you do lose something not hearing the song as originally presented (not to mention the visuals of the video).
I agree, I feel like the whole end of this song with Eddie singing sounds instead of words really conveys a sense of desperation.. like when you feel so much but with no way to speak it, just like the confusion and chaos in this little boys mind. This song has moved me for the better part of 30 years now. Also seeing how much this song means to Eddie while he's singing it adds to the impact for sure.
It's a true story, Eddie knew Jeremy
@@denvertobler1713 Eddie didn't know Jeremy, he read it in a newspaper. He knew a kid from his San Diego Junior High School who he got into a few fist fights with, his name was Brian. Brian shot up a Oceanography room at their school. I don't think he killed anybody though.
Eddie is using the phrase “spoke in class today” when he means “shot himself in class today”. It’s just a more understated / poetic way of saying it
Understated, poetic, way to get a song about suicide on the radio in the early 90s.........
I also hear it as sarcastic, in the darkest possible way
@dennyjoshuar that's how I always saw it, like he fucking said something today
@@Travelinmatt1976 absolutely. "Try to erase THIS from the blackboard."
Another brilliant version of this song nobody talks about is the 92 MTV Awards version. Just perfection.
Agree 💯
Good example of happy melody with sad lyrics. The official video is great, but this live is great too.
Ten: what an album.
She has to see that video and hear the original song, this was good, that was great.
What an album.
Eddie will blow you away everytime he sings ..very few have what he has .deep soulful vocals
The official uncensored video of Jeremy is mind-blowing 🤯 very, very powerful!! But the whole MTV unplugged is incredible!! Awesome reaction Rachel!! Thank You for reacting to this masterpiece. 😊💓🤘✌️
I probably would’ve used a different choice of words than “mind-blowing”…lol
@@PrecursorLegend oops!! that wasn't meant that way! Sorry didn't mean to be uncaring, I guess I wasn't using my brain. I apologize 😟 ✌️
You might want to give the official uncensored video a watch. It does a great job of visually representing the song's narrative.
Jeremy was and still is one of the most powerful (from the emotional expression side) songs I have ever heard. And I heard it the year it was aired. And I am 49 now. More then 30 years passed by and it still grans me everytime I hear it. Its a great great song.
I’m glad people like yourself meaning the younger generation are listening and appreciating Gen X’s music. My generations music.
Needs to be the uncut official video 😢
Not if you're trying to make money on youtube...
Agreed, the story behind it needs the original music video.
yeah i agree
100%..
Up
I remember this song topping Metallica Enter Sandman on MTV top 20 countdown! I was a huge Metallica fan even at age 12 but soon Pearl Jam dominated
Ten is one of the greatest albums of all time
The expression in his voice you mentioned comes from caring about & meaning the words he wrote - every song. Hard to get that today when all popular tunes are crap with 12 writers, 2 producers & guest spots on every song. Zero feeling comes out of that
The main line "Jeremy spoken in class today." Jeremy stood infront of his class and took his own life... The offical video is one you need to watch on your own time, but be prepared..
😞🫂😞
Same when he says "Try to forget this, try to erase this from the board" when I understood. I was stunned. And i was only 12 years old when i understood the lyrics of the song, because i have listened to it since i was 7 years old.
Because my uncle listened to it a lot and I loved it, but I didn't understand it at that time because I didn't know English (my mother tongue is Spanish). But now I understand it and I still like it a lot.
The Wikipedia for this song does a decent enough job explaining where Eddie found the story of Jeremy Wade Delle and it inspired him to write this. Apparently the family of Jeremy Delle has mixed thoughts on the song. This song though was incredibly impactful when it came out and the original music video was considered one of the most controversial ever made (for the time, it definitely was).
This song was like a life boat when I was 13. It seemed like I was on the outside looking in on other peoples lives. I didn't know the story behind the song but the emotion and feel of it felt like it was talking right to me. This album lived in my walkman. 10 will always be the defining album of my life and it is so cool to see that it still speaks to people today.
This was the first song I heard off of Ten .. no idea how I missed Alive and Evenflow .. anyway, Eddie's power made me perk up and pay attention to the fact that this band isn't just more of the same old stuff. I bought Ten and listened to it constantly for the next year. It's still a monster album today.
The song is just about a kid that killed himself, but a kid that did that in front of his class. Jeremy spoken in front of his class that day. It was the first major song trying to understand why these things happen.
What a friggin' masterpiece of a band, song, lyrics, singer, heart, man. Ilove how you barely stopped this video and just let it play instead of analysicing every bit throughout
Eddie is such a magnificent performer, he re-lives how he felt when he write those songs probably, same as the performance of Black, that same MTV unplugged, pure talent, passion n heart
This song always hits hard, if you watch the music video of this it helps explain the story that it is about. This song is certainly an emotional one.
Yeah, the Music Video is a must watch
Check out Oceans from same unplugged to see full range and power!
The meaning is crystal clear in the uncut music video.
Its a song that hit home for a lot of people, especially if you experienced severe bullying in your childhood/adolescence.
Such an iconic song to say the least from this band. One of my personal favorites and one of the first I've heard by them. Once again, amazing reaction as always ❤
He was self editing so they didn't get in trouble with the TV Gods. 🤣 Such a Great song.
This song is timelessly powerful. Still gives me chills.
Another great reaction, still the uncensored video is the best way to understand the meaning of the lyrics. Would be nice if you could react to some of Eddie's performances from this year ( yes he still rocking 31 years after the MTV performance)
Pearl Jam is an experience... so much deeper than just music. It's ALIVE!!!!
I think they wanted to capture the desperation and anger Jeremy must have felt before he took his own life. Also, it is enraging to hear that a child could be and was in so much pain. I think the sound of the song is a pure reaction to that
The song is based off of two stories. 1 being the story of Jeremy Wade Delle which gave Edie the inspiration for it but it also took into account a kid that Eddie bullied in high school that jumped off the roof of Eddies high school one day kill8ng himself. Eddie wasn't there that day but of course he heard about it. So the he hit me with a surprise left is actually refering to the kid he bullied that committed suicide.
I named my first Jeremy Troy because of this song and Sineas O'Connors Troy song. R.I.P. Sinead
This is such a sad tragic song, based on two true stories, involving Eddie’s child hood, as well as a tragic true event that occurred…you have to check out the uncensored music video (it took many years for it to be released uncensored) it’s so much more impactful than any performance (even though I think live videos always capture true meaning). Anyway love the reactions, great entertainment, and keep up the great work.
Also interesting fact had the 12 string bass guitar not arrived on time during the recording of Ten, this would not have been made or at least not appeared on that album
Phenomenal performance!
I heard Eddie had a head cough during this performance. Still sounds amazing. New sub. Like your content a lot. Thanks😊
He had bronchitis and did this 🤯
10 was a game changer.
Although nothing beats MTV unplugged the uncensored video needs to be watched and the best performance of this song is the 92 MTV video awards.
Best drummer of the world
Keep the pearl jam coming! Loving this content
This song touches me so much. Through right to my heart then through tears. I lived this, without. TY for reacting to this.
I was listening Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Guns and other bands at 90's and everyone told I was crazy. I was rigth even as a kid.
Jeremy shot himself in front of the class.😢
Porch and State of Love and Trust Unplugged are excellent.
You need to watch the uncensored MTV video of this song to get the full effect. I was 19 when the censored video first aired. The uncensored video was released only a few years ago.
Yep, this song.
Great song! And great reaction! The story behind the song that goes around is that Jeremy Wade Delle had a bad childhood, but that's not true. He was definately bullied at school but Eddie Vedder put his own childhood memories from home into the song. He actually sat down and wrote the song right after hearing about what happened on the news. He didn't know anything about the family's private life.
You mentioned you were suprised by the sound of the song after reading how sad it is. I believe the reason it sounds the was it does is because it’s capturing the anger in the boy.
Great great singer. Amazing!
this was such a great album! i hope people listened and cared!
If you do another live video of Pearl Jam, I’d recommend the song Why Go performed at Pink Pop 199..2 I think. A truly underrated song from their Ten album, but I truly think it is Pearl Jam at their most intense/angst, and everything that came after only matches it
You can say he shot himself in front of his class. Not being condescending, it was the purpose of the song, to shed light on this true story. He was bullied, and shot himself. It was horrific. This song came out a year after a classmate did the same thing in the school playground.
Lol that was how he kept from saying a bad word one tv when he was singing, love Peral Jam been a favorite of mine for years
Ten. one of the great albums in rock history. these guys came to new zealand back in the day to do a few concerts. a friend of mines son was a skate boarding dude, who happened to be at a skate boarding park and one of the band turned up to do some boarding. they hung out and he got him free tickets to their gig that night. he said they were just the nicest guys, and just normal guys.
One of the best bands ever .
You rock alwayspick really heart felt music. Thank you. Keep doing it me and my wife like your channel. look forward to it
Eddie is such an emotional and expressive singer and it really comes out in their music. I remember seeing an interview with their Old Drummer Jack Irons and he said when Eddie goes that place he's scary and they all leave him alone. I also love that Am (I think) that Stone plays over & over again at 6:22. It's so alarming and gives the song this uneasy feeling. Such an amazing performance. If you ever get a chance you should listen to the whole set from beginning to end.
You have to watch the full uncensored videoclip of it!
The line “jeremy spoke in class today” referance to when jeremy shot himself infront of his english class. That line is so heavy when you know its meaning behind it.
90's the best time to be a music fan. 😊
15 year old Jeremy Wade committed suicide in the classroom with his father's gun, in front of his teacher and classmates. That's the meaning of "Jeremy spoken in the class today"
It was sad bc: ""Jeremy" is based on two different true stories. The song takes its main inspiration from a newspaper article about a 15-year-old boy named Jeremy Wade Delle from Richardson, Texas, who shot himself in front of his teacher and his second-period English class of 30 students on the morning of January 8, 1991" source: Wiki
That's why it's so sad and emotional..
If im not mistaken, they got the "Jeremy spoke in class today" from the news article about Jeremy. Love the videos keep it up!
This is just one of those shows that an artist wakes up that day and thinks " today I'm gonna make history". He just put his heart and soul in every song of this set.
Always beauty❤❤
"Jeremy spoke in class today" refers to him shooting himself in front of all the students that bullied him. Like he finally stood up and said something to them.
I think you’d like their “State of love and trust” from unplugged.
Now find me any singer today, and I mean ANY singer today, that can even come close to this!
He spoke in class... He shot himself so he ruled his world
es imposible que el sentimiento y la voz de Eddie no te llegue a los huesos y te erice la piel.
One never knows what little kindness can save
“…a harmless little fuck.” Is the actual line
Revolutionary!!!
Try the original video of pj jeremy
I’m not sure she got from the article that this song is about a real life news story. It was a clarion call about something we didn’t realize was coming. A white affluent boy from a good part of town brought a gun to class and stood in front of the classroom and killed himself with it. It speaks of how his wealthy parents were not nurturing and were more concerned with appearances than what their child was trying to tell them with drawings depicting a triumphant figure on a mountaintop overlooking the dead in pools of maroon below. It tells of his classmates picking on him as he seemed harmless but that he. Surprised them with violent outbursts… it’s depicting the signs of a disenfranchised young boy with access to a firearm. Jeremy was released in 1991. This was about 10 years before the mass school shooting at Springfield OR and Columbine CO. That Jeremy shot only one person makes it seem unrelated but the fact is, he was a precursor for a tragic problem we still cannot or will not seem to correct in our society.
What a song. I think the going to the minor key and the raw emotion associated with the story makes this almost a sacred sound barely equaled in many songs of the era. A piece that has psychological parallels and tonal impact is Larkin Poe's "Mad as a Hatter". Thanks for your analysis.
My favorite UA-camrs.. Godbless pretty girls 😁🙏
We'd probably love it if you reacted to other songs from this show
Young Eddie was very intense and we loved him for it! 🥰🥹
let's do it
He is the instrument.
❤
Actually, the line 'Jeremy spoke in class today' refers to him shooting himself in front of his high school English teacher and 30 fellow classmates. There was an article in the newspaper about a 15 year old boy who committed suicide in his high school english class in front of his teacher and 30 fellow classmates.
Eddie is picturing himself as somebody who could have done that, as he sings the song, that's where some of the emotion comes from.
thanks for remind me back this song i covering with my group band long time ago ang black to👍👍👍👍
you need to watch the original music video. When Jeremy "spoke" in class, it wasn't with words. His early death was self-inflicted, in front of the class, and that was him speaking to the class about his pain.
If you want to review another great Eddie Vedder performance, him singing Masters of War at the Bob Dylan anniversary concert is fantastic.
Rachel great job with your reaction to the live performance of Jeremy from Pearl Jam . It's based on a newspaper story about a boy how committed suicide in front of his glass mates by shooting himself. I know it's very sad knowing that and still very sad knowing things like this still happen like that now.
“Jeremy spoke in class today” refers to the statement he made when he committed suicide in front of his class. “Try to forget this. Try to erase this from the blackboard” punctuates that statement
God, unplugged was so good
Please do Hunger Strike by Temple of Dog. 🥺
LOVE your reactions. It's nice for us oldheads to see reactions from the new blood.
And: Please, don't feel compelled to refrain from mentioning how absolutely beautiful this man was and IS. It's not just the looks. I see it on your face. Eddie Vedder can be felt. All the band members are sweet to the eyes. They put him up front reason, am I right?
Check out his album Ukulele Songs. It's just too perfect. The album Into The Wild is also something to behold.
I think there’s an interview out there that he explains the song and the meaning behind it
Passed away early is a interesting way to put it considering the circumstances surrounding his suicide, and the public fashion in which he took his life.
Thank you for sharing this video. For those who don't know, "As a story song, “Jeremy” combined a real-life incident with Vedder's own bad childhood memories and imagination. The inspiration came from the tragic story of Jeremy Wade Delle, a 15-year-old boy from Richardson, Texas, who took his own life in front of his classmates on January 8, 1991."
