Pearl Jam - Jeremy (Original music video)

[TunasWorkShop]

If you think you hates music a year ago, look what we have settled for now! Take me back to 93 when everything was on the rise!

[GiedaZuvys]

Why so beautiful, Eddie ..

[Spjibro683]

That awkward moment when a friend raps all the lyrics to an Eminem song, then you sing a Pearl Jam song and show him up

[dick9ism]

Great song. Song story. Bullying isnt cool.

[TheUntouchableEric]

rest in peace Jeremy Wade Delle

[TheUntouchableEric]

the story of the song is so depressing. great song

[yamisisasexmonster]

my favorite song by pearl jam...so sad...so amazing poor jeremy :(

[hubbcaprollin]

i like the banned video alot better. it was awesome , the little fucker blows his brains out in front of the whole class. man i miss the good videos

[JacobsSilhouette]

Easy to say the best revenge is to live on, sometimes when loneliness and isolation are too much you just want to end it. Maybe Jeremy got his revenge by making them watch his demise, something they will never forget...

[moonsasuke]

@JacobsSilhouette The whole purpose was too show that killing yourself doesn't give you revenge, because it shows the description and weather in the beginning, and how it hasn't changed in the end. Live on, prove yourself, that's true revenge.

[mattparfett]

Id say they should make this story into a movie, but for those of us who were in high school when columbine/virgina tech. hit, reality was enough.

[reallysimplefood]

That's the beginning of the video and that's the same thing is that in the end, it does nothing … nothing changes. The world goes on and you're gone. The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself. Be stronger than those people. And then you can come back.[7]

[NEMESIS1JUSTICE4ALL]

I never fully understood this video. Does anyone mind explaining it to me? :- )

[1349j]

modern music can't compare to 60's and 70's that is correct but music from the 2000's can absolutely compete with the 80's and 90's if you open your minds abit you may discover some of the pearls from the 2000's, there are many.

[alloyfactory]

rock is not dead yet...

enter my page and listen.

[samhu117mx1]

I live day by day this situation and look away from home or death

insults and mockery of my father and mother are part of my life

they believe that religion and society is the best job and force me to live well

plase guys my life is sad

[Viciouz66]

@samhu117mx1 Si eres molestado por tus compañeros te aconsejo que los enfrentes es facil solo consigue un arma y ya no te moloestaran mas

[dougthealligator]

@samhu117mx1 ignore vicouz, guns are never the answer man

[reallysimplefood]

@samhu117mx1 When asked about the song, Vedder explained: It came from a small paragraph in a paper which means you kill yourself and you make a big old sacrifice and try to get your revenge. That all you're gonna end up with is a paragraph in a newspaper. Sixty-three degrees and cloudy in a suburban neighborhood.

[Whyyousuchadumbbutt]

Pearl Jam dominated the 90's! If you guys think the 2000's suck you aren't looking hard enough. Foo fighters and rhcp are still going strong and the indie rock is fun to listen to!

[mayuronaldinho]

@Whyyousuchadumbbutt you seriously think today's music can be compared to music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's?! you've got to be kiddin man!

[Whyyousuchadumbbutt]

@mayuronaldinho

Let's be realistic. Of course music used to be better but if you give up looking like most of you have done then obviously you'll never find good songs to define the 2000's. I have found lots of rock that I like, not the whiney Emo crap but Indie/Alternative/Post-grunge/ Hard rock.

Bands like The Kooks, The Fratellis, Etc.. Their are great songs I like, Lonely day-Phantom planet for Example. A song I really like. Music has changed true, but I can embrace it

[mayuronaldinho]

@Whyyousuchadumbbutt i think you've got a point there. just that it might take a lot more years for these bands to become legendary. hence we're kinda biased towards the already legendary bands. the kooks, rhcp, alter bridge are all bands i like. but just that i've never been able to compare them to any of the old school bands. maybe 10 years later, they'll be legends too! :)

[rawrsaysthemonster77]

@713victoria I agree 100%. I just turned 12. I hate mainstream and me and my mom (we're both 90's alternative fans) always talk of how the mainstream has changed from the 50's to 2010. Its so scary seeing Lady Gaga (or Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, etc.) perform because it makes you realize: our generation sucks and not just the music. Technology has ruined us.

[713victoria]

OMG! this music really makes you realize how much stronger of a message music from the 80s and 90s had, the music of this decade SUCKS!!!! And i can say that, im 14, im from this generation, and dont get me wrong, im not saying that for all music now-a-days, i like some of todays music, but my dad was born in the late 70s, mom from the mid-80s, and i find myself listening to their music more often than my own generations!!!!!!!

[Stewieg100]

@713victoria I'm 16 and I can totally relate to the music of the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. I love it because not only is it authentic, but yes, it had a great message. Sure, a lot of the 80s pop sounded the same, but still that message had meaning, the videos were artistic, and living life was just better. It was interesting to even see everything that went into making a movie or raising HIV/AIDS awareness just because the past decades were better and more intriguing! I agree with you.

[The5Overshadowed]

Hey, what's up everybody... I'm here because all of you guys are Pearl Jam fans, and because, if you can deal with a little bit of 'spam', I'm here to promote my new band Overshadowed. We just got done recording our demo, it's on our channel, and we'd love if anyone could simply check the songs, leave a comment, or anything of the sort. We'd really appreciate it!

FYI, I came HERE because we love and respect Pearl Jam, and are hoping for whatever respect you guys might have leftover...

[Super1cracker]

this song rocks

[Shadowlit001]

Its funny that when he said "and he hit me with a surprise left" he make the punch with his right hand.

[MikeyMoves2]

I have a student named Jeremy. Makes me think of this song every time.

[HyLeRo]

NICE video, where did you find this??

[1cameron22]

why doesnt this vid have more views

[HyLeRo]

@1cameron22 it does my video has almost 4 million views, beating vevo's original.

[1cameron22]

DEAR ALL ROCK AND NIRVANA FANS, FEBRUARY 20TH IS KURT COBAIN'S BIRTHDAY. THAT DAY WE WILL ALL VISIT THE "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT" VIDEO, LIKE IT, AND WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. NOT ONLY WILL IT PAY BACK RESPECT TO HIM, IT WILL ALSO HELP NIRVANA GET TO THE TOP OF YOUTUBE AGAIN. THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT AND REPOST THIS ON ANY NIRVANA OR ANY ROCK VIDEO.

[newfypearl]

This is a good video ...but ... the anger and intensity of the official video is more striking.

[KoRnfan4eva69]

i wish i lived back in the 80s and 90s but im only 14 but god i love this type of music, screw the shit these days i hate hip hop its all about sex and drinkn theres no meaning like in this genre of music

[atafits]

why is it so hard?

[houl666]

this song reminds me of me ecept for that 1 second before 1:37 and not having friends and killing myself in fact my name is Jeremy

[MusicVideoJudge1]

@houl666 Same dude. I have mad respect who are treated that way and how they can stand up to it. They take pain and punishment everyday. I am one of those kids who are disrespected everyday. But i think of this song.I say to myself, i will never go this far. I am strong and i am one. No matter how alone i may ever be i will stay strong. I am one, I am ten. I am Jeremy.

[toosboos]

@houl666 , i named my son after this song ..... i just hope he'll never face what the Jeremy in the song had to face !

[soon2bmrsk]

@houl666 Dude, I was exactly where you are 10 years ago, I was picked up, thrown down stairs, gossiped about and just generally treated like dirt at school, but it wasnt just at school. At the risk of sounding like a cliche, it does get better, I promise. Don't rise to it and all those kids who pick on you now will be cleaning your offices when you're the CEO of a huge corporation. Keep the picture of you walkin along their just mopped floors and them callin you sir.

[anonymous5541]

Jeremy Delle:fucking idiot who alienated himself cause he couldn't make friends.

No shit, I'd kill myself too if I were that retarded,,,but I do it with a T-shirt canon. :D:D

[UrT1meSlipsAway]

Great song, reminiscint of the generation X style of music in the early-mid '90s. Eddie Vedder has one of the most unique voices i've ever heard.

[bupez1]

what does the blackboard say???

[FlowersForTheFalling]

@bupez1 I think it says "I will not speak in class."

[na19911]

isnt there 1 wen the kid hung himself, a different version?

[Tahoaster]

@na19911 In the other version the Kid Shot himself in front of his class. Which is a true story. Thats what this song is about.

[ZDLR221]

1:28 "little fuck"

[emonemojay]

now this ... is real music!

[Mrsteddyz]

excellent, outstanding, real music, where did it go?

[abrujitoz]

Tiene su estilo el cuate no ., ???

[vcarcuro]

wow...this video really sucks...

or maybe it inst that bad but the other one kicks ass

[bmarshmellow15222]

@vcarcuro but this is the banned version u see him get shot

[theokkrieger]

@bmarshmellow15222 this was not banned, just not released by the records company. apparently, they didn't like it. well, i do

[bmarshmellow15222]

@theokkrieger i know look in my favorites to find the banned version

[SydandGab12]

i wanted the one where it shows his suicide thing. i want the real one :(

[experssion123]

This type of music is great. I hate the the shit nowadays

[bmarshmellow15222]

@experssion123 i know

[NextHW5]

@experssion123 some of this music carried over into the next decade

[Bootyboy4life]

Not a bad video, but nothing beats the other version. That video is probably the most powerful, amazing video ever made, although I am pretty biased as a big PJ fan.

[cizzlecentral]

i wonder sometimes! my son was like 12 when it came on mtv. and i was a single mom. it really affected him.  i so dig pearl jam but, it was a hard minute. he did eddy vedar at a family talent show. he nailed him. but, like. at 12? i got worried!

[venom777xxx]

hmm..i was lookin for the one where it actually shows Jeremy putting the gun in his mouth..any1 know how to find it? the un-edited version i guess?

[Tits3917]

this isnt even the original.. the original got banned because theres a breif moment where the class solutes hitler.. and also in the real version it shows bullet holes in his classmates

[EugenioNS]

could you send me the link of the original version?

[xiphocostal]

It is the original, made on a low budget. The second video, edited for MTV , shows him putting the gun in his mouth. It does not show bullet holes in his classmates: it shows them splattered with his blood. The scene where he puts the gun in his mouth was later edited out, so many viewers assume it was murder, no suicide.

[handyandy75]

It was actually the record company that rejected this video, not MTV. A second video was shot, and had to be edited before MTV would play it, mainly because of a scene showing Jeremy putting a gun in his mouth.

[lilmissdancer24]

i love how the crayons change into bullets...

[yoshmon]

This song channels a powerful message through its sonic medium. In 1991, in a Richardson, Texas high school, a 16 year old sophomore named Jeremy Wade Delle, in front of his english class, pulled out a .357 magnum revolver and blew out his brains. Hence the lyrics of Vedder's writing, "Jeremy spoke in class today".

[justsayno78]

what is the version when the kid put a gun in his mouth? thats shocking

[virtr3uoso]

I like this version better. It's darker

[IPlayARedOvation]

I miss the 90s so much, god, the 2000 era sucks

[mgak05]

man i wish i had lived in the 90's i was born 1996 so my decade sucked

[richdanks]

@mgak05 be happy u didnt live in the 80s the 90s sucked just as bad the music was ok... i wish i lived in the 70s

[IPlayARedOvation]

I was born in 92' but when I was like 5 I first was able to recognize pearl jam on the radio, they were my very first favorite band, and they're still a favorite, god Vedder kicks ass...

[TheCreamerguy]

i barely was born in the 90s but i regret not listening to as much music as i could back then

[Bootyboy4life]

I grew up in the 90s, born in the 80s I remember this time, not so much the Ten era stuff but definitely used to hear Betterman and Daughter on the radio a lot I remember when Yield came out and I saw the Do The Evolution video. I totally didn't appreciate PJ until prolly '99 or 2000 after hearing Alive on the radio and seeing the Jeremy video and realized what I'd been missing out on. Been obsessed ever since, and I don't think music has ever been the same.

[TheMusicLovingCat]

@IPlayARedOvation and so far the 2010 era isnt much better either. i miss the 90s.

[kisshell2]

@IPlayARedOvation soooooooo true

[Rexmundia]

@IPlayARedOvation

Never heard of Queens of the Stone Age?

[IPlayARedOvation]

@Rexmundia I have heard of them, I like some of their songs but I don't know. Not really my kind of music I guess. However they are better then most bands by today's standards.

[younique90]

@IPlayARedOvation i hate my generation by the crackers is relevant to our generation

[vibesofvivek]

@IPlayARedOvation sadly, we make the era we live in today, lets do a huge petition & bring Back The Rock And Roll, The Punk, The Grunge etc.. What say?

[misfitsfan28]

@vibesofvivek Im in but how about we all form bands, well thats atleast what im doing i gotta find a lead singer im trying to form a grunge punk band any one in ontairio

[XXXXNanoXXXxxx]

@IPlayARedOvation well get ready for 2010-2020 era LMFAO!!!!

[SuperSmashyfication]

@IPlayARedOvation The 2010 era sucks too.

[maperreratarheel]

they banned the video because his nipple kept sticking out off his shirt LMAO :D

[DavidVelezPerez]

So, it's not like he's a girl.

[no1cares214]

i like how mtv and vh1 never bleep when he says fuck because hes hard to understand

[coreyfitz123]

this is a great song i saw them on last monday in chicago and they didny play it i was upset but it was awesome and this is a great video

[IRISHPUNK676]

lucky fucker lol my folks decided to go to vegas so i couldnt get tickets and i know it was phenominal cause they always are.

[landocommando10]

i dont understand how mtv rejected this music video.. i see nothing wrong with it... awesome song by the way

[ancalagog6]

mtv didnt reject the song, the record company did. they didnt plan on making jeremy into a single, so they refused to fund it, but then they decided to make it a single, so they made their own video. mtv had nothing to do with it

[insanepercussion]

i think this version is way better, because you have to actually listen to what he's saying.

it seems like sometimes when people watch music videos, they are just getting the general idea of the song from the video. in this one, you have to get what the video is about from the song.

i hope that made sense. but i think this is beautiful. i love pearl jam for bringing stories like this to light.

[catsrulee]

this video is more logical, cause the kid in the MTV version is only like 12 years old, and the kid in this video is more mature. besides, Pearl Jam makes it seem more like a story, and MTV makes it seem like its just another random hit song by a grunge band.

[elyxsama]

It's really cool because the band members appear a lot more, but the story's a little hidden, there's no emphasys on Jeremy's story. The MTV (or whatever's) version is cooler because it's like a story being told by Eddie, like he's narrating the story.

[dillon1278]

The music beats doesnt match the guitarist's body flinches. No big deal, just something I noticed.

[catiuskka]

EXCELENTE!!

[jennyjenjo16]

that kid in the video actually really looks like jeremy!!

AMAZING SONG!!...

AMAZING VIDEO!!

[alyssae4]

i don't remember the video being like this

[Jesus7894561230]

this one is the original video,

the other one that came out in MTV was edited

[ElenaZuti]

nemam zborovi....

[654987264566666666]

man I cant see the pistol in his mouth at the end of the video

[danydaplaya]

i don't know why this was rejected this is like way better than the original

[EricMason0321]

This IS the original...

[DglMaster2012]

Sorry if I say that this video does NOT reflect on the guy;s story

[bigsupahfly]

If MTV aired this vid, then maybe ppl would remember "Jeremy" for its story, rather than its video

[SpartanDfnder]

Lead singer's voice has BRAVEHEART hair.

And this video is alright. It's really repetitive ( the band rotates on a dias ) with little clips of a boy. The other version had deep visuals of the boy and his reasons for suicide.

[sk8erandp8er]

ur an idiot

[Brento44]

Pearl Jam made this version and felt it looked like wayne's world. They re-did the video in Germany. Had nothing to do with MTV. This video was never released.

[dinam0vka]

legendo0o0

[mala0patra]

legenDa

[tomatopaste3]

I like Pearl Jam's version of the music video more than MTV's version.

[snafupenguin]

bitchin vid! you get to see more of the band in this one :)

[CromwellDamuuga]

where'd this come from. i like it way more

[amityvilleafo]

fucking awesome vid
