EDDIE VEDDER

AWESOMENESS

[jenninchains]

he used to treat her well and now he treats her like shit.....

[DjetGlea]

I used to treat you like a lady,- Now your my substitute teacher.  What does that phrase mean exactly? I am searching for the meaning.

[shhotgun]

This is my kind of love..

[Manofgoldenwords]

This is such a good cover of this song with Eddie Vedder on vocals. Andrew Wood would be honored and proud of their tribute. I still listen to Mother Love Bone quite often especially to Gentle Groove and Man of Golden Words hence my You tube name. Wood's death was such a tragedy leaving so much potential unfulfilled. Wood's you are missed and your music will live on forever in our hearts and lives. Also RIP 2 other Seattle music pioneers Layne and Kurt, who are also missed and cherished.

[1976hawke]

@Manofgoldenwords they are great songs i never can get enough of mlb and andrew wood. imagine what might have been... would ther have been pearl jam if andrew didin't pass? they wouldn't have had jeff ament and stone gossard... thie is my fav song mlb sing and my secongd would be man of golden words

[Manofgoldenwords]

@1976hawke Yeah for sure. My favorite Man of Golden Words was the first MLB song I learned all the words to.

[MrLmo]

All I can say is , timeles! It will stir emotions for all generations. If they listen?

[LiLongboarder155]

Mother should i trust the Government? A chilling line, may the gift of Floyd live on in their music, and let it shine on through the terrible "music" of today, and hopefully knock on the gates of dawn again in the future.

RIP RICK AND SYD

[LutherRayable]

no offense to PJ or Eddie,i love em till the end......But for me this is Andy and MLB's song.forever and no one can touch the way they did it.Still love PJ!

RIP brother

[FUNKYTRIPUNKY]

the best voice ever

[BigRockMusicFan]

Damn, both versions kickass!

[chronicreptile]

I saw them play this in Reading a few years back, made my weekend!

[Karmaggedon]

ABSOLUTE SACRILEGE to have that flaming bag of Monkey crap sing this or ANY MLB song.

Eddie couldn't BEGIN to even DREAM of holding Andrew's jock strap!

[Codog2000]

EVERYBODY MISSES ANDY, WE'LL ALL BE SEEIN' HIM IN NO TIME.....

[JustinRulez282]

I hope people that watch this video realize that if there wasn't a Mother love Bone there probably NEVER would've been a Pearl Jam.

[imagesofeden]

@JustinRulez282 You're totally right about that!

[KevReborn]

I wanna tell you that i love you.But does it really matter?

[DarkWolfDK]

Pearl Jam may have copied this. But with good right.

Eddie, Andrew, Chriss Cornell was friends and new aechother back then.

Temple of the dog (Chris Cornell) made a song in honer of Andrew Wood´s death "Say hello to heaven", Candlebox made a song "Farbehind" and Alice In Chains "Would" due to Andrews death. So i dont think its a copy. More like a tribute to MLB and Andrew Wood. Andrew and Chis where room mates and Eddie was friend of Chris aswell.

[pirateslave08]

@DarkWolfDK dont forget cris wrote reach down for andrew wood

[DarkWolfDK]

@pirateslave08 I know, more songs was actually dedicated to him. But i had only 500 characters to tell what i wanted. ;-)

So thx for adding it :-D

[sirsnipity]

Pearl Jam never do justice to this song, there was only one Mother Love Bone and only they could sing and play this song

[SonsCompassMusic]

@sirsnipity You do realize the Mother Love Bone was formed my members of PJ...right? So MLB IS PLAYING THE SONG. Of course without Wood, but that's the closest you're gonna get.

[sirsnipity]

@SonsCompassMusic yeah i know the history, but in the end you only need the original version, and it is a once in a lifetime song that can not be replicated, have a look at Jack vidgen's song for the grand final of Australia's got talent, and it too is a song that plenty will try to replicate but only one will matter. With songs like this the original is immmortal the copies are forgotton in time.

[jjordanify]

@sirsnipity half of mother love bone later became pearl jam and i love the fact that they honor andrew by continuing to play this song!

[SonsCompassMusic]

@sirsnipity I feel you on that. It's probably why PJ doesn't play MLB songs very often.

[rtabish]

i remember hearing MLB for the first time in the late 80s and thinking "this is great stuff, but will it ever take off or become anything?"......i guess it did.

[intangibledc]

Mad Season > Mother Love Bone

[RCTPatriot75]

@intangibledc

AIC was my favorite band of the era and Layne was my favorite singer. As much as I liked the Mad Season album, Apple was superior.

[KyleMac92109]

Musically, this was the best version I have ever heard. Thanks!

[bordybugger]

saw mlb at the satyracon in portland when i was way too young to be in there... well not way too young but still... i had to sneak in... awesome group... it really hurt when andrew died....

[PKTrekGirl]

This is such a great song! Although there is some disagreement as to whether or not this is technically a cover, since Stone & Jeff had a part in writing it. The credits in the liner notes of "Mother Love Bone" say "Wood and Mother Love Bone", which of course includes Stone & Jeff.

This version is great though - great audio! Thanks so much for posting. It's always great to listen this this wonderful song and I'm glad PJ is keeping Andy's memory alive thru his music!

[russellthain1]

Copied never bettered

[jg0093dcs]

Just un real how amazing this song is. Not only the arragement but the history behind it. There are a few people on here that know about it and they have talked about how the song came about. Every time Peal Jam does this song, Eddie will always give credit to AW and MLB. If you start adding up all the talent that is gone now from those days, its very sad.

[terinma1]

Very powerful. Still gives me chills.

[rockbob79]

@terinma1 yea its real chilling stuff

[jeffarmon]

I almost cried listening to this. This is so touching!

[rockbob79]

@jeffarmon yes is so touching....... is a great version for a great song

[jamezheart]

@jeffarmon

I did!

[matienda]

Thank you andrew. Thank you Stone. Thank you Jeff. Without you we may never have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Vedder. Cheers!!! God Bless.

[matienda]

Thank you andrew. Thank you Stone. Thanks you Jeff. Without you we may never have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Vedder. Cheers!!! God Bless.

[Alhambrattp]

How come there is no pic of andrew Wood in the slide show only eddie overrated vedder? Wood owns vedder on this song.

[landon501996]

@Alhambrattp because eddie is singing in this version of the song dumbass. this version is better than andrews.

[MrChrisjack26]

eds amazing but so is andrew

[BillionDollarZombie]

Sometime you're in the mood for Eddy, and sometimes, like today, you're not.

[innschbrucka]

very good, but i miss the fierst part of the song.... and the linking chords to the second long part....

[hershysquirts187]

this is the shit.

[astromarks]

noone can overtop the Wood`s vocals r.i.p.

[thiagosandman]

mother love bone FOREVER!

[Delorean997]

Andrew RIP!! We will never forget you! [*]

This year I will be on PJ's concert in Gdynia, Poland :D Greetings for fans and for Pearl Jam from Poland!

[tobin7373]

wow...super version...the song that started it all!

[stoneandeddie]

AMAZING !! PURE SHIVERS!!

hi to Chile to my Bayleaf friend :)

this video deserves 10**********

[grungeera]

Thank You so much Helena for sending me this

This is definatley their best version of it :)

[stoneandeddie]

wow.. happy I made you happy my dear Jeff ;) I really started shivering when this video opened with Chloe... aaaaaaaaaah!!! and btw I saw PJ last Thursday in Rotterdam!!! from like 15 metres I was floating in space staring at Eddie!! I have two amazing videos (Black & Alive) that one of the Dutch fans shot at my channel.. it was funny as I was nearly fainting all throughout the concert (an effect of PJ on me, plus it was hot & kinda jetlaggish stuff..).. you should have joined me ;) see ya, kiss

[grungeera]

yeah this is a real jewel right here.

i couldn't believe that they playerd the intro :)

yes i should have joined you. I've seen them 2 days later in Berlin, no Black no Crazy Mary no Not for you. Been so pissed. I'm sorry to say, but that was the worst PJ concert i've been to. I've seen the setlist for Rotterdam, that must have been great

So how's life?

[stoneandeddie]

life's good :) spent a month back home in CZ; stayed in our cottage in the mountains.. eating cherries from our trees (so many of them & so delicious), all kinda berries, mushrooms.. sipping Dad's pear & apple fire (!!) waters & our special Dad's 2007 birthday Abelour sherry based 50GBP single malt that we bought in Scotland 2 years ago.. drinking quality Czech beer & eating local lamb.. now back in A'dam.. busy with my green stuff.. check my featured Burton PJ/ MLB video when you have a sec ;)
