Pearl Jam - Go

[LakerManPSN]

I remember buiying this CD from a redbox type of thing at a crumby video store.... god those were the days... this song makes me happy.

[1orwell1]

The most underrated Pearl Jam record.

[RamTerritory]

This song is badass.

[MoresVedder]

Dave is god!

[Veraudunus]

Mike just turns the guitar into his bitch on this tune. Amazing!

[PromotingRape]

i typed why go nigger, not go

[budsAok420]

@PromotingRape What does that even mean...Seriously what are you talking about?

[thegrungewave]

i fuckin' love this song! i crashed my mom's minivan this afternoon & this was the song that played when it happened. i was so fuckin' scared! but i gotta admit that would've made a pretty epic scene in a movie! PJ will never be the same!

[TheStimpyland]

I want to warn you, that when this is heard, it can't be unheard. Just a forewarning.

Anyway, at 1:25 he says "Please, don't go on me"

But after my friend told me about something, I couldn't hear "Please, don't go on me"

I hear this:

Please, STOMP THE WOMBAT!!!

[MethCircuS]

@TheStimpyland hahahahaahahaahaha thank you

[snooters]

Nice snare, Dave.

[Thrasher0411]

hey is that dalai lama in teh cover picture?

[Alblasker]

15 years ago I thought myself, this is the perfect opening of a play. Very soon I hope to bring that to reality :D

[crowian]

Instead of talking about the album artwork, how about talking about how fucking amazing this song is!

[noahlw18]

I fucking love this song.

[darkness2121]

The album's cover art, photographed by Ament, features a picture of a sheep from a farm in Hamilton, Montana.

[margretberg]

Love this

[TheLeoOfCostaRica]

This is the most badass combination of sounds ever created.

...Okay, almost. Soungarden still exists.

[PureCore]

why a lama in the cover?

[fatasarous]

@PureCore

Its a sheep

[FreckledBarf123]

@fatasarous its a lama

[DrawOutTheLions]

@FreckledBarf123 nope. it's a sheep. find a pic of the vinyl edition.

[accantiere]

musica com cheiro de corrida ,passa muita coisa rapidas na minha mente quando ouço esse som

[DrDragun]

WOW, does Pearl Jam have any other guitar solos like this?

[page751]

@DrDragun Alive has a great solo

[MaxwellHavins]

@DrDragun Crazy Mary has a orgasmic solo in it as well.

[LiMei1]

@Kaleifloscope Anybody can edit wiki,don't base your facts on loserpedia.

[PuffSmelly]

its a sheep not a lama

[mclimbaugh]

5 people think down is good.

[jhonatanbar]

PEARL JAM IN PERU , 18 DE NOV 2011!

[Okreya]

This song is how I feel about my laptop.

[srekazinskas]

[bigchill123a]

Producer: "If I told you that teenagers attention spans were rapidly dropping, and the success of this entire album and your future as a band depended on the first track of an album, what would you do?"

Eddie Vedder: -creates this-

[chrislotton]

@bigchill123a On behalf of hard core PJ fans, Thank you for our favorite comment on YouTube.

[urmother1233]

@bigchill123a Dave Abbruzzese*: -creates this-

[ifanguitar]

@bigchill123a Actually this was written by Dave Abbruzzese not Vedder.

[johnmichaelosbourne7]

@bigchill123a this was written by dave

[TheStimpyland]

@bigchill123a

Their first album was Ten... Not Vs.

[alupaXD]

It's like a song taken from a video game xDD, Good Song!

[ThePikpikcarrot]

My dad taught me at the ripe age of 3 that this is the only kind of music worth a damn.

[bigchill123a]

@Sithlord703 this has been my workout song for months. good call

[fukinguitar]

such a badass track

[mcdermpt]

Epic



[electricladyland77]

i love the seattle sound! YEAHHHH!!!!

[Korndude4561]

Best Pearl jam intro song ever!

[Sithlord703]

This is officially my new Pre workout song

[MJLU280]

@Sithlord703 pre, during and after

[BastardoBabbo]

Give Sonics back to Seattle.

[Yakuzaboss22]

All that sheep needs, is a peace sign to go along with that facial expression.

[zee10is4life]

@Yakuzaboss22

Its not a sheep, its a lama...

[Buckeyeguy420]

Everything looks cooler through a fisheye lens, even Llamas.

[juneausucks]

wow im 12 again wtf

[pekonasubi]

今まであんまり好きじゃなかったけど、改めてちゃんと聴いてみる­と結構かっこいいかも知れない。

[s3dooooooooooooooon]

@pekonasubi What?

[minamitan3]

@pekonasubi 自分はこのアルバムを理解するのに２年かかりましたｗ

[sweetness34CB]

Shawn Kemp used this song for his highlight video in NBA Superstars. I was a little kid and the first time ive ever herd of or seen Pearl Jam. I fell in love! I showed all my friends and kids on the block the video. They all loved Air Jordan dunks. After they saw Reignman Kemp dunks and the energy that Pearl Jam brought to it Kemp became everyones favorite dunker. So "Go" popped my cherry and i found out fast that it only got better and better! Thanks Pearl Jam! and Shawn Kemp!

[bayse11]

@sweetness34CB Hell yeah! Love Kemp and pearl jam. Seattle yeah!! Good comment

[The4l3ph]

"ammostro!"

[Loldelol]

A fool not a fucking god!

[seankolker]

shoulda pulled the alarm!

[khunopie]

I once listened to this and Jane's Addiction "Stop" at the same time and ended up vaporizing

[DrEisenhower]

DAT BASS.

[h879xx]

Everytime I put this album on in my car and GO starts I think oh it's not loud enough i'll turn it up then it punishes me when the heavy bit begins. Pearl jam owe me some new speakers.

[kcnoise]

Best song to start an album I can think of.

[RobbieGDelirium]

@kcnoise Agreed, I think Go and Animal is the best 1, 2 punch since Zeppelins Black Dog and Rock and Roll...

[3AtomicJabez8]

Raw energy...fantastic!

[rpulice15]

pearl jam was heavy

[wysle]

I guess this Lama was also in the making for man in the box hehehehee

[MalikethMage]

hmm 4 people have seen a stop sign

[TheHungryPlatypus]

Bass sounds like cows mooing xP kickass cows btw

[Jeanesays]

bass went crazy over here

[apollong2acab]

Jesus Christ Pose evil twin

[Jeanesays]

@apollong2acab hahah maybe the other way round

[WZWOfficial]

Thats a nice picture of Eddy Vedder that they have on the album cover lol

[cyprokka]

@WZWOfficial fucken sexy LOL

[TheChR1s]

@WZWOfficial That's him when he doesnt cut his hair

[robbergirl1]

i can't listen to this song while im driving...it makes me speed

[thebigc]

@robbergirl1

I thought I was the only one..

[MJLU280]

@robbergirl1 it makes me blow out my speakers when I'm driving

[adudenamedrf]

this song makes want to break shit

[monstersball45]

This song is about abusing a girl, and her fighting back. "Please don't go out on me, never acted up before, supposed I abused you, turn to my nemesis." Get it? She's fighting back, and he abused her, and he's not ready for it. That's the theme....

[TheMr007247]

@monstersball45 EVERYONE!!! JUST GO TO WIKIPEDIA, GOOGLE "PEARL JAM-GO", AND IT WILL STATE THAT EDDIE VEDDER WROTE THE SONG ABOUT HIS TRUCK!!!!!

[soulflower666]

@TheMr007247 Quote:In Kim Neely's book Five Against One: The Pearl Jam Story, Abbruzzese quips that vocalist Eddie Vedder told him he wrote the lyrics for "Go" about his pickup truck.[5] This may be a clever joke on the chorus of the song "Please don't go on me," but the full lyrics of the song suggest it is of a much more serious nature.  unquote

Wikipedia

[wysle]

@soulflower666 lol Wiki

[Ms89er]

@monstersball45 i thought it was about a girl he had to fight for leaving him because, for some reason, he started acting out towards her (maybe abuse). but your opinion is good, too.

[dust2sday]

this song is about ripping up groupie tang. and rocking and/or rolling everynight AND/OR everyday. get with it, just like Def Lepperd....just kidding, what has 9 arms and sucks? Def Lepperd!! Armegeddon it!!

[Bayview05]

this sing is CLEARLY about the oppression of the proletariat DUH

[Ms89er]

prolly the fastest song by them (besides lukin of course) although, i keep thinkin it's "nurses" instead of "nemisis", especially w/ the studio version. anyway, this song kicks f***ing ass!!!!

[74TheJoker]

In my opinion this song is about physical abuse..animal has a similar theme.

[susucocofafa]

blablabla

[HalfEatenDimSim]

I'm not sure about the confusion over the lyrics, it's clearly about unregistered motorbikes.

[Geekman333]

@HalfEatenDimSim My thoughts exactly. ;-)

[Geekman333]

Who cares what it's about. It fucking rocks hard. Thanks for posting.

[apeach710]

In my opinion there is no better song to end a good cardio workout on then this. Got three minutes left in your run, turn this on and GO.

[SlitMouthWoman]

My opinion on this song is about breakups,and being cheated on.

[stldavao]

A portable fucking God, No! PLEASE DON'T GO ON ME!

[stldavao]

Just passing it on...

[askrole79]

k gak lagu ni

[SHINLAZER]

Geese Howard : This song is a... Rasing Stoooorrrrrmmmmm!!!!

[djina169]

Abou what is this song, help please!!!

[EdMcStinko]

@djina169 My best guess is that this song is about the cycle of physical abuse, he talks about "passing it on" you know how a kid gets abused when they are young and then later on in life they pass it on. Its also about how the abuser tends to get emotionally attached to those they are abusing to the point where they cant imagine living without them.

[MITCHsaysHI]

@djina169

It's about his truck breaking down. Seriously. Lol. If you listen to it it makes sense --

GO! But his truck is dead and won't go. "Oh please don't go out on me.. don't go out on me now". His car died when he really needed to get somewhere. I forget where, exactly.

[baldazz]

@MITCHsaysHI it's about rape.

[MITCHsaysHI]

@baldazz

No, that's Animal. This song is definitely about his truck. He said so, and he rarely says what his songs are about because he likes people to make their own interpretations. But this one is about his truck.

[baldazz]

@MITCHsaysHI Animal it's about animals! omg -.-'

[MITCHsaysHI]

@baldazz

You're just kidding, right?

[baldazz]

@MITCHsaysHI I mean...I think the idea is, sometimes Eddie, and sometimes people, sometimes me, I rather be with an animal than being with a stupid human being.

You say it's about rape, I respect you ok? I just don't understand when he says "1,2,3,4,5 against 1" ...My interpretation of that is there are so many people that wanna hurt/kill an animal, a lonely animal who can't defend himself.

You also said that Eddie said that GO was about his truck, where did you see that?

[MITCHsaysHI]

@baldazz

Well, the way I interpret it, which may be wrong, is that she is being raped by someone. She says "I'd rather be with an animal" as in, she'd rather have sex with an animal than the person raping her. She's also calling the rapist something worse than an animal. 1,2,3,4,5 against 1 could refer to gang-rape.

And I read it on the Ten Club thing; Vedder said somewhere that it was about his truck. You could probably search and find it.

[baldazz]

@MITCHsaysHI You're telling me that you saw the meaning of a song on a forum? A forum where everybodies gives their opinion? I didn't get that "Ten Club" thing

[MITCHsaysHI]

@baldazz No, I mean I saw on there that Vedder himself said the meaning of the song.

[savboy1976]

@baldazz The song animal is about rape/gang rape. I even remember like yesterday when the song was performed at the 93 MTV awards and it was discussed and the lyrics are also pretty clear.

[fka322]

@savboy1976 This song was never performed on the MTV Awards. You're thinking of Animal.

[savboy1976]

@fka322 Read my post again. I WAS talking about Animal.

[djina169]

i really like Pearl Jam's music, but i can't understand about what is this song! Can someone tell me?

sorry, English is not my language...

[sivoglio]

for they who hit the dislike button, just go to your room and do your homework ..

[Dyru7583]

NBA 93 Shawn Kemp !

[EdMcStinko]

@Dyru7583 Fuck that was an exciting player to watch, especially when he was teamed up with the glove.

[kyledadams]

I feel bad for people who don't know about this type of music. This is the first song I ever listened to by PJ. Picked up my step dads VS album stuck it in.. heard this. enough said.

[MalikethMage]

@kyledadams i feel bad for them too......but i feel bad for you...where the fuck were you for Ten?!

[kyledadams]

@MalikethMage I was 2 lol and I never listened to pearl jam till my teenage years.

[dismantlethesun67]

Four people are obviously deaf and just don't like llamas... or alpacas... whatever that is.

[Smith89123]

@dismantlethesun67 or Four people to busy jacking off to jonas bro's or some bubblegum shit.

And this song is awesome, Dave A was the fucking man

[a5dr3]

In hindsight, maybe the four inch snare wasn't such a good idea

[Simon0]

oh please dont go out on me, dont go on me now..

awesome.

[matarel]

this song make me wanna hit a nun with a bat

so powerfull

[CreeCreeHoneyBee]

Favorite song off this album!

[SaintFintansCemetery]

THE SHIT !!!

[RobTheWhiteZombie]

This song sounds a lot like "Why Go" durring the beggining, anyway, awesome song. This is the sound Pearl Jam should have stayed with

[SlitMouthWoman]

Favorite to Jam to.

[MadPossumProductions]

Was anyone else not immediatly reminded of Soundgarden's Jesus Chirst Pose?

[devilchr]

@MadPossumProductions Me dude

[RobTheWhiteZombie]

@MadPossumProductions Since you mentioned it, a little

[pirminzane]

Its 02:26 we have just got back from seeing PJ in Hyde Park London playing the Hard Rock festival and they delivered up Go. Holly hell it was amazing and a real full on treat. Unsurprising it was a straight 10 in every way possible. They are just getting better and better an better.

[Disasterpeice]

@pirminzane Dude, I was fucking there too, my first time seeing them and I was in the pit the whole time \m/ Shame they didnt play Jeremy, but I aint complaining, they slaughtered the whole place.

[drumsterZ]

@pirminzane ..you're such a lucky dude!! PJ in Hyde Park playing "Go"?? jeez must have been awesome!!

[pirminzane]

@drumsterZ It was an incredible performance! The thing that surprised me was how come they played it at Hyde Park specifically?! I thought they barely ever played this track! Like I said though, it was an awesome treat to firstly see them live and secondly see them rock out to 'Go'. All the best! Pirmin.

[Olsteradamus]

my favorite pearl jam song of all time. 

[Toddterry27]

so many memories I i am almost 30 now and still love this song to death!!!!

[eatmyashes]

@Toddterry27

Dude, I'm 29 myself, and this song/album change my life! After Ten there couldn't have been a greater follow-up album! Grunge for life!!

[OutbackBros]

1:44 Rock on!!!!!!

[jayvizer8]

this is pearl jam's best album

[Juberoos]

Ed said that he wrote this about his truck. :)

[KristinBenjamin]

This song fuckin' rocks. Fortunesmith, you are entitled to your opinion, albeit, it is a wrong opinion.

[littleliberal]

@KristinBenjamin you are right it is a freakin awesome song and eddie is freakin awesome too over the years his voice keeps getting better!!!

[cheseeproductions]

have this whole album

[cevrimicidost]

makes you think that music is dead now

[fortunesmith]

This song is terrible on multiple levels. Lets start with the drum tone, which even makes Metallica's St. Anger sound palatable. We don't have to get into Vedder's idiotic brooding vocals.

[Bahlminion]

@fortunesmith You know about music the same thing I know about astro physics. A song doesn't have to be a complex ammount of tones, even when the drums are not Mark Portnoy's drums doesn't go bad, and the vocals... damn I just forgot why am I having a "discussion". Enjoy.

[Zac6230]

@fortunesmith need your ass filled?

[Jet7445]

@fortunesmith Dude don't troll. No one gives a fuck here.

[joebob06451]

One of, if not THE, greatest pearl jam song ever

[craig2468ful]

man that feels good

[Kell1295]

(Runs into wall then dances around room)

[Kudell46and2]

I love this song, very pearl jam fans don't even pay attention to it...

i think its of their top 5

[oralsurgery84]

0:00-0:05 .......LOVE IT!!!!

[Lovesock69able]

That bad kid kept slapping the poor monkey; we felt compelled to turn him in to animal control. (Aramis Deceives)

[kcnoise]

Why can't PJ make songs like this anymore?

[joker1ification]

Best song about a truck breaking down EVER! hahahaha

[Foges6694]

Bass sound weird but freakin' cool!

[Nomez420]

Now children, behave yourselves and enjoy the tunes. Youtube wasn't made to argue about who's more wrong. Keep your opinions secret and shut up.

[poppyplanet1]

Good stuff. I love this album. Pearl Jam's epic.

[forgetpolitics]

awesome

[Jedipenguin123]

DUNK THE WOOOOOOMBAAAAT!!!

No, I  realize that it doesn't say that but it sounds like it does! lol

[thepanamahat]

lmao - loudly

[Badfish228]

@Jedipenguin123 ahahahaha now i'm gonna think of that every time i hear this song. DUUUNK THE WOOOOOMBAAATT!!

[HelljumperKAY25]

This song hits me where I live.

[RobbieGDelirium]

The song is about child abandonment....not a truck breaking down.... LOL

[tittyj2020]

Pearl Jam tried to hard to "tackle issues" too many songs about troubled youth, abused children, inner meanings of life, whatever....JUST FUCKING PLAY SOMETHING WITH BALLS!
