Aaron Lewis - Black

[mylefteye2]

Aaron got more of edies lyrics right than edie himself can. and thats a fact.

[Elthenar]

Staind and Aaron Lewis are bland beyond words. He turned this song into a boring funeral dirge. Capital punishment is deserved.

[Asbru]

not as good as the other one he has

[Asbru]

not as good as the other one he has

[bresele2]

i love pearl jam easily my favourite band, but i also love hearing amazing artists like aaron do a great cover of the songs i love, a real pearl jam fan would say the same

[theeagle50]

exactly

[mikeymike019]

amazing simply amazing!!! l love this one alittle better then PJ. So much feeling.

[Holyjammer]

Great song, great singer..

Perfect.

[choloarch08]

there is a reason why both of them are famous. Aaron Lewis is way way way underrated. I do think Aaron Lewis is much more talented.

[Oblivia58]

Aaron Lewis has an amazing voice. Many of the covers he does, I find I like more than the originals...this one included! Very powerful singer!

[woonoel101]

Piss off, good cover , no way as good as Eddie. Have some fucking respect.

[sarcasticraptor]

Eddie Veddar is proud. I just hope in 20 years we aren't doin't doing the same thing with this as we are with ice-ice-baby debating it's origins. Eddie Veddar is a king among kinds on song writing. Make sure he gets his credit. This song is ridiculous on it's depth and it's meaning

[defyantvixen]

Think Lewis sings it with much more feeling, emotion.....hits the heart more

[pjhalc1977]

A gay version of a very powerful ballad.. next time sing it at home.. fuck u all..

[buckethead111]

motherfucking audience should really shut the fuck up...

[mikejr000555]

wow that a harsh description man!

Either way, thank you for posting this.

[yahum21]

FUCK all the haters, it's total bullshit that people can't just let him sing the damn song without bashing him.1 it's only a cover so who cares. 2 He has 5 times the voice of eddie vedder so don't talk shit

[InHiding77]

Aaron and Eddie are not on the same planet..

[shizzTITSHIT123]

i dont know why people compare aaron lewis with eddie like they are supposed to be the same artist...its a cover, they both have different styles and they are showing them...aaron showing his in this cover, hes not recreating the song hence COVER

[mikejr000555]

Well said.

[Opiate1987]

wow... great. Agree with you Deckloaded. Eddie has a really bad habit of singing out of tune very often... especially live. Aaron doesn't do that.

[ceejayvilla]

Pearljm67...it seems your always saying the wrong things at the wrong time....there isn't anything wrong with this cover...and even if it isn't perfect, it's still better than you could ever do.

[Deckloaded]

Eddie has nowhere near the talent of Aaron. To think that he does is embarassing.

[CuCstain222]

true that..

[ayayyay]

I hope you're fucking joking?

[MickeyCollena]

thats not even the sense

[krazedcubbie79]

Deckloaded,...for you to say that Eddie has nowhere near the talent of Aaron just might be the most twisted , ridiculous, absurd, appauling, and outrageous comment i've ever heard. I like them both , but to say that is plain idiotic !.... As Aaron is covering his song too, i'm pretty sure Aaron would feel honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Eddie

[ThexNerd]

who said that he thinks that? and who cares he might not sing as good as aaron but he writes really good songs and they have meaning to them. they are both very good musicians, and they both deserve respect...

[StickyFingersxxx]

Appreciate talent, God knows both Eddie and Aaron have a fucking ton of it. PEARL JAM/STAIND CONCERT! DEMAND IT!

[StickyFingersxxx]

I've seen both Staind and Pearl Jam many times, I have the ticket stubs to prove it haters... Fucking leave it be, both bands are fantastic in their own way they're not the same type of music, stop fucking comparing them to eachother. Any TRUE and I mean fucking TRUE Pearl Jam fan would/does appreciate this amazing cover of an amazing song. GO PEARL JAM -AND- STAIND! FUCK THE YANKEES!

[elfking217]

Probably my favorite cover I've ever heard Aaron do!!

[slowrivers86]

pearljam67 aaron lewis and staind just put out a new cd dillhole oppie1 u da man aaron is the stuff bb

[enzospartan]

Very cool. Must favorite. And to everyone who fights over PJ vs Aaron: both Eddie and Aaron are great singers. I think Eddie is more dynamic and Aaron puts more emotion into his singing. And props go to PJ in the first place for writing it of course. Calm down guys. Listen to your favorite version.

[usmc0311crzydrew]

i was there. it was awesome. it was my bday too. fucking amazing concert.

[ianmo]

god your lucky lol

[justin0six]

lmao @ the info. Aaron 4 life.

[trevorzinn]

come on guys..PJ is great but you have to give Mr Aaron Lewis his due...he has a pure voice

[oppie1]

i forgot to approve them... fuckface

[pearljm67]

That's funny, you didn't forget to reply to them!

[WertzuHun]

Shut up idiot! Eddie still the best singer ever! Not your softdicked Mr."Coverman"!

[pearljm67]

That was the most horrible thing I have ever heard! All you did was prove to us Pearl Jam fans why nobody should cover any of their songs! He messed the lyrics all up..just mumbled through parts of the song.my guess would be because he DIDN'T KNOW THE RIGHT LYRICS TO SING..It was really hard to watch the whole video...It just made me wanna throw up!

[oppie1]

but its ok and funny when ed fucks up lyrics to his own songs? Evenflow for example? you PJ fans are douchebags...

[pearljm67]

Well, lets see, the key words here are HIS OWN SONG! If Aaron wants to mess the words up to his songs that's his choice. But don't disrespect Pearl Jam's or anybody elses song like he did to this one!

[oppie1]

once again.. how about covers PJ butchers? why is it ok that PJ is allowed to cover songs, but their fans get all uppity when a band covers a PJ song.. saying they are not allowed to because they're not "in the same league"

[pearljm67]

Your right..Aaron Lewis is NOT in the same league as Eddie Vedder...All of Aaron's songs sound the same..all he does is just sit there and mumble through any song he sings..they all have the same beat, singing it the same way over and over..they all sound the same..he needs to go back to writing his own music, and let all this emo stuff go!

[oppie1]

i never knew there were leagues in music. so Staind(in your mind) is a A Farm Team, while PJ is in the Majors? and i hardly think Staind is "emo"

i'm a big PJ fan, dont get me wrong.. but this line u just said can be summed up about Ed..cuz it descirbes his craptastic Into the Wild cd to a "T"

"all he does is just sit there and mumble through any song he sings..they all have the same beat, singing it the same way over and over..they all sound the same"

[pearljm67]

You can say what you want about Eddie and PearlJam, but at least they are still putting out new music, and have been around for almost 17 years, and have put out 7 cd. How many has Staind put out? Aaron Lewis has to resort to covering other bands work. And if he isn't emo, than what would you call it? He don't rock anymore. Wake up and smell the depression when he sings!

[CISoulSurfer]

Dumbass, we know that he's depressed. It's what speaks to some of us going through hard times. And they ARE still making music, with a CD coming out this summer. I think Pearl Jam is a little tired. Besides, he's published a live copy of this song. I'm thinking Pearl Jam approves, or copyright laws prohibit him from using a song for the purpose of cd sales. Think before crap rolls out of your mouth.

[pearljm67]

I'm glad to hear that Staind is putting out new music...maybe now Aaron will leave all these covers alone..because I have not heard a good one yet! This is not the only cover he has messed the lyrics up on! Maybe Aaron should have put some more thought into them! Hope now he'll leave the emo crap style behind and go back to rockin!

[rabbi2442]

pearljm67, you're a moron. If you want to spout out "facts," maybe you should atleast know what you're talking about. Staind is about to put out their 6th CD in 12 years. I wouldn't say he has to "resort to covering other bands work," he does it to pay respect to bands that have influenced him. He playes his own stuff too you know.

Sorry this responce is 3 months later, but I couldn't let that gargabe that you spoke go unchecked.

[pearljm67]

The FACTS are this cover SUCKS! He got most of the lyrics wrong, and totally disrespected the song, and Pearl Jam. And if Staind is putting out a new CD, good for them, maybe he'll leave the cover alone.

[oppie1]

ed fucks up his OWN lyrics... have you ever heard him hit evenflow 100%? he fucks up all the time with his own words.. but when he does it its funny... get over it...go fuck yourself..

how about all the covers ed does and sounds like shit... speak of ed shit, have you heard his into the wild cd? as a pearl jam fan, i can admit that song huffs dong

[MorbidThomas]

Vedder and Lewis are more alike than different,and neither of them would care for you very much

[CuCstain222]

your 41 and obsessed with pearl jam.. YOU FAIL AT LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JLA12301985]

U know all artists play other artists music but never never play it as the same as the original artist u stupid fucks think u have your facts straight but your facts are wrong, I've got a friend who could have became famous back in the 80's & 90's & he knows how to play music & he told me that exact same thing I just told all u dumb bastards that are talking your shit. I like this cover but it's not as much as the first one.

[MickeyCollena]

oh man fuck you!!! The only thing he sings it is he likes that song! So when i like a song i also like to play it. Doesent matter how the fuck i fuck this song up. It just gives me a calm feeling! And also at this cover

[thunderFence]

10Cunt = the bush administration

message pit = fag cabal

look it up

[northcountrydylan]

it's a fine versions ... too bad Staind is just not a good band. Every songs sounds like the last one ... and the next one.

[seetherDII]

i love pearl jam and this cover sucks!!!!!!!!!! lol jk best cover ive heard of this song aaaron lewis is talented i saw him live last year and he played this song it was amazing

[zmnsky4]

I am huge Pearl Jam fan- but a bigger music fan- and everything Aaron is doing for the covers is incredible.

[davidHasselhoff]

He's no Eddie....but this isn't a bad cover.People should check out Tori Amos' version of the song,it's amazing.

[beezeeman]

I'm so bored with this band. HOME was/is/will be the only song from them I care to listen to.

[asdewqasdfgh]

stupid bitch staind is amazing and aaron is one of the greatest singers of today.if ur bored with them then u obviously dont know anything abt them, so fuck off this video

[adrock1011]

nah not good enough...

[Azznbad]

Sheesh People! The man a a right to sing any fucking song he wants, but the owner of the rights to that song gets a royalty every time that song is played on the radio, used in concert, or sold on a CD. If you like is version of the song then buy the damn thing! If you like the PJ version then buy that. If you think you like your version better then record the damn thing, but get a life. Every band who ever had a hit is covered by someone. Get used to it. sheesh

[oppie1]

actually.. cover songs played in concert are royalty free.. if they are officially released is when permission is needed

[Azznbad]

I thought about that as soon as I hit post comment but it was kind of close lol But they need permission only until it becomes public domain and then they get royalties right?

[oppie1]

basically if a song is recorded live and released on a live disc or compilation the band does not have o pay royalties to the writer. same thing for pearl jam when they released their live bootlegs with covers, they didn not have to pay anything to the original performer. if it was recorded in a studio then they would need permission, or have to pay royalties.

[sandstone1]

Never a big Pearl Jam fan. This one of the only songs I liked by them. This dude does the song justice for sure. I like it better than the original...I still credit Eddy Veder for writing it though. Staind has a couple of good songs...Aaron Lewis covers the shit out of everyone though. Write some more of your own songs dude! Still love you though man...awesome voice!

[dysfunctional213]

artworkbyjasonDOTCOM, thanks, yea, people just gotta let shit be, i mean dude, you either like it or you dont, but dont listen to it if you dont because i bet there are so many more people who do, and it doesnt concern you what other people play....DONT FUCKING LISTEN DUMBASS

[dysfunctional213]

i love pearl jam and alice in chains.....aaron lewis does really great covers of them......if you have a fucking problem with it dont listen to them, it doesnt concern you if someone does a cover that is not yours.....if you originally wrote the song and someone did a cover and you didnt like it, then you have a fucking right to talk.....then if not, keep your fucking mouth shut

[artworkbyjasonDOTCOM]

Amen brother. It's the easiest job in the world to be a critic. Problem is, most critics are just bitter idiots who never amounted to anything, and are pissed at the world for it.

[artworkbyjasonDOTCOM]

By the way... I worked stage security for Aaron Lewis at his acoustic show. His singing gave me chills. He is Fucking Awesome Live. Never the same set list... if there is a set list at all

[Nochediablo]

OMG, I knew someone named Aaron lewis. He was a dumbass bastard who deserves to burn

[kevinAIC33]

I wish I got tickets on time for this show f--ck. How was it? I'm sure it was great

[robinvanwalsem]

he has to come to the netherlands!

[ericjlaj]

damn dude. you have been to every show i have been to lately. this one.. tool in camden.. aic in ac.. good taste in music and thanks for the posts. do you know of anyone that has this performance on cd? wnd to anyone who likes this song check out "shyndown"s page. a few good pj covers by aaron on there.

[ericjlaj]

i was at this show. fucking amazing. by the way.. fuck drunk people that talk during shows! keep tailgating in the parking lot jackass! and i love pearl jam.. best live show in my opinion. but anyone who knows anything about pj knows they cover alot of songs. so while everyone is bitching about him covering a pearl jam song i bet eddie is sitting back smiling with appreciation.

[sofialibera]

I´ve never heard this song before, It´s really nice though

[shyndown]

love it..the faggots on the pearl jam board can go die..now they are bitching about daughtrys cover of this song...they really need to get a life and stop bitching..oh btw aaron lewis is a god :)

[lowmanslyric79]

Awsome.

[mytoecold]

yay

[staind420]

your description is awesome.. i hate bitches who complain about covers.. they can go suck a fat one, aaron lewis is a god!

[mfredrickson]

I like your dedication... PJ covers rock.

[sparrowhawk72]
