  • Did Eddie redo the vocal for this more recently? Like in 2009? He sounds good, but I have an alternate mix with a totally different vocal take, some more harmonies and other vocals in the chorus, and this incredible scream in the final chorus that is nowhere on this version. It's so much better than what's here, shame squabbling caused not one, but two compromised versions to be released.

  • @runnersdialzero333 Still, I can see why some of the band didn't like this. It has this ove r the top macho-ness to it that can be off-putting. It also somehow sounds like it should be on some early 90s hair product commercial, specifically the verses. All while sounding like it has a bit too much testosterone to it. Hrm.

    I like the song, don't get me wrong, just saying I can understand why some of the band were totally put off by it and didn't want it to see the light of day.

  • when were the vocals added? 

  • love this!

  • check out my page, if u like it tell a friend

  • this is not only the best pearl jam song, but it is the best song ever, no question, it is a fact

  • how the hell did stone and eddie not dig this??? this has to be my favourite outtake of all time, its insane!!!!

  • I've never heard it with lyrics, sounds pretty good though

  • Mindblowing stuff. I cant understand why there is 12 dislikes, this and all pjs stuff is awsome. Eddie vedder is a god.

  • I love this song. Absolutely amazing.

  • song is massive.

  • This is from lost dogs I believe....so the question is why the fuck don't their latest shitty albums sounds like this!!!! If backspacer, binaural, riot act, yeild, vitalogy etc sounded like this I may still be a Pearl Sham fan.

  • @Alhambrattp ... if you were a Pearl Jam fan you'd listen to more than one type of their music... Vs and Ten were fantastic but extremely on dimensional. If you're so closeminded, maybe it's best you're not a Pearl Jam fan...

  • @pepsihockey05

    Just so you know, Im allowed to have a different opinion than you which doesn't automatically make yours right or mean im worng in thinking Pearl Sham sucks, to each his own. So save us all some brain cells and stfu.

  • @Alhambrattp well why reply to this video then.

    awesome opinion, you sure showed us.

  • @xBillyTheKidx

    I don't give much of a shit other people's opinions and I don't give a flying fuck what other people think of mine. I am however like everyone else allowed to share mine so why bash me for doing just that? I have yet to bash someone for saying that something i like sucks....I don't care cut you pearl jam fans can't handle someone saying eddie vedder and PJ suck? WHY? I got 900+ hate messages because I left a negative comment on a PJ video, that's pathetic.

  • @Alhambrattp:- If you don't give a shit about Pearl Jams savage music then fuck off and find better to do with your time then sitting here wasting my time reading your nonsensical shite.... Get a life ya spa!!

  • @Alhambrattp i think (im pretty sure) it was written, instrumentally at least, during the glory years for the recording sessions for Ten, which would explain the asweomness of it, and left out of the album cos of a disagreement between Gossard and Ament.

  • its so shitty they are taking a break

  • @kdiuldlea Wait what what what? Is it because Matt's touring with Soundgarden?

  • imagine if this had been the first single off backspacer, people would have gone crazy again for pearl jam, instead we get got some and the crapper, fixer?

  • @wheelroof3 I agree. When I first heard this song I thought it was the first single off of their new album and thought PJ was back, then found out this song was recorded during "Ten" and thought that figures.

  • the new old song beacuse it was recorded in the 90s but wasnt realesed til april 2009

  • @ evolve debators, evolve means change, not necessarily get better or worse. And the credit goes to Pearl Jam for simply having the stones to change. Sure it's led to down albums like backspacer, but it's also led to masterpieces such as yield and no code.

  • even their outtakes/b tracks are better than most main releases

  • im pretty sure that pearl jam is the best band on earth and i will not die until i see them live

  • @27sliver27 I know the feeling man until I saw them in 2006 and once you see them live you wana see them live again and again and again .....

    MUSIC= PEARL JAM

  • @27sliver27 i saw them live :)

  • @27sliver27 Hell yes! P. j is my fav band and I hope to see them live before I die or they stop preforming.

  • Oh little sister!!! you and me can rise above, oh!! ain't no brother!

    Back to back, to back to back!!!

  • Cuanto Chochi que hay por acá.

    Nombrame una banda que NO tenga canciones pedorras.

    Te lo digo en español porque me da pajona escribirlo en inglés.

  • THIS USED TO BE AN INSTRUMENTAL ON LOST DOG

  • mike mccready is fucking good.

  • this reminds me of my handicapped brother. he is the man. i love him so much :)

  • I like the original version MUCH better. Vedder can't handle the song anymore in his 40's.

  • is this from backspacer or is it just a single?

  • Now this is the kind of shit I want to hear from Pearl Jam.

    Too bad they don't write new songs similar like this anymore

  • @matt2eadgbe They have written MANY great songs since 1991....They just get better and better....They're not at The Who's level yet....but they're gettin there. LONG LIVE PETE AND THE WHO!! LONG LIVE EDDIE AND PEARL JAM!!

  • @matt2eadgbe bands evolve

  • @07foxmulder

    Songs like ....

    "red dot"

    " hey foxybullshitmama"

    " arc"

    I wouldn't call evolving

  • @matt2eadgbe haha true... but songs like nothingman, faithful, of the girl, the fixer... i would call evolving.

    i just meant it would be boring if pearl jam was still releasing music that sounded the exact same as their stuff from the early 90s.

  • Pearl Jam have lost IT

  • @Ashmaker0 you's a bitch

  • @jmaurer17 Lol, and you type like a nigger, your argument is invalid.

  • This song just kicks so much ass!!!

  • Too loud, they fucked it up

  • This is fucking magic! o.O

  • Why are most the pearl jam outtakes so awesome?

  • I absolutely love this song..

  • Great track

  • the best!

  • The havier song form pearl jam.

  • no 1 put up the instumental version, i like that version oh well

    PEARL JAM ROCKS!

  • Thank god they released this before fixer haha

  • this is the song that made me a pearl jam fan, it is my favorite song,,,

    now pearl jam is my favorite band!

  • I prefer the original cut of this that came out in 1991 it had an extra I don't know what but I like it better than this version.

  • hey I'm a huge fan of the hard riffs and sound of the songs off of ten.....What other pearl jam songs have the similar heavy sound of ten?

  • This was a Ten OUT TAKE! It's unbelievable the drop off from Ten to VS

  • Vs. was a brilliant, underrated album.

  • @cmitchz79 Under rated? Whatever you say clown. If you didn't have the album the day it was released, something is wrong with you...

  • "better man" was a Vs. outtake

  • You are wrong my friend... betterman was an Eddie Vedder song and he already perfommed with a band named "Bad Radio" in California, before Pearl Jam

  • who gives a fck aboutwhat some one else thinks figure it out for your self

  • why did they cut pocket ? ............ Oh my big brother's a POCKET of hypocrisy

  • "my big brother's a fuckin hipocracy"

  • buo , me gusta mas la version mala calidad que tengo , pero mucho mas tarrera que esta ,

  • Comment removed

  • Eddie never backed Obama. Pay attention!

  • LOL...No, they never backed Obama--They just wrote a song called "Obama-Song"---"My Name is Eddie Vedder, And I Approve This Obama Message".---Eddie Vedder on stage: "we stand by Obama & we too think Kanye West is a jackass."---No, You must be right, Vedder never did back Obama---He just told everybody he did.

  • Excuse me I have more to do with my time than look up every word that Eddie Vedder says...

  • Pay attention to this not-reality you subscribe to? I'm just fuckin with ya, but seriously. Don't tell people to pay attention when you're mistaken.

  • This is a great song, sounds revolutionary in a way. Really disappointed that Vedder became an Obama Zombie. If violence and death and destruction were bad under Bush, why are those things okay now that Obama is in office? Wake up Eddie!

  • yea and why were they ok under george washington, abraham lincoln and teddy roosevelt,JFK, and every other president of the united states? u dumass America was built upon violence death and destruction so now just because you don't like the present representative of the violence, death, and destruction you have to criticize him? hyppocrite. Don't u know that violence death and destruction will go on till the end of time until God comes back doesnt matter who is president

  • i agree man we'd be dead without violence

  • cause obama didnt start this shit

  • when the vocals came in it took me off guard completely.. at the moment I still prefer the Lost Dogs version (instrumental).. but it's badass to have both versions available!!

  • is this a recording from back then or did they rerecord the song?

  • This is the song from back then but Brendan O'Brien remixed the song. He may have done a good job on the reissue version of Ten - I don't know. But his last word with Springsteen and Pearl Jam is terrible. It may be neither of the two had very good songs for him to work with but he didn't make it any better - that's for sure. Springsteen and Pearl Jam... WHY???

  • they re-recorded this song.

    the early version is slightly different from this one.

  • holy shit the loud warning came way to late... bout just had my head explode from having my earphones on low

  • holy shit havent watched this video for awhile... almost died of a heart attack yet again

  • i have a different version of this song..

  • they put on a good show when they came to Toronto hope they come back

  • cant wait, november concert in melbourne!

  • Brother its so cool that people from all over the world can be united with music. rock on

  • This is why im glad i live in washington!!! :D

  • Recorded in 1991 for the WIN.

  • Pear Jam never gets old. Epic band!

  • @Slipjig9

    Great Band... YES. Epic? i don't know about that. Epics bands don't have any bullshit songs that are hard to listen to and are not good songs

    But for some reason lots of fans think so.

  • @Slipjig9 so true

  • awsome!

  • This is great......I hope the rest of the album is just as good

  • My local station 98 rock in Sacramento hates this song, and hate playing it. But I really like it!!!

  • move to southern ontario and listen to the edge best radio station ever by far

  • Comment removed

  • 102.1 The Edge FTW !!!

  • agreed

  • Dallas? fuck yea!

  • ontario, as in CANADA? hhaha fuck that shit.

  • whoa hey Canada is best,fuck u...

    except for the weather

  • Heheheheh

    Cananda is the best

    except the weather

    u dick head

  • your damn fuckin right

  • I just love them!! Thanks for this incredible Berlin Show!

    You are so goddamn awesome!!!

  • TO THR33FOOR9

    i do realize what your saying with stairwayto heaven somewhere in there

    its the same nots just with more distortion and faster,

    the stairway solos the same nots except barely any distortion and more, clean ,

    lol yep

    ur not alone

  • I prefer the old version without all the singing

  • Technically ,the "old version" in 1991 does have the singing. It is the Lost Dogs version in 2002 that does not. Now this version has the singing also, but the lyrics are different from the 1991 version.

  • was able to enjoy this live last saturday.... great piece!

  • me too! excellent show!!!

  • You make no fucking sense - check your grammar sweetie. (the comment below this one)

  • his name is Louie what did you expect!!!

  • Better watch it some more on YouTube then, right?

  • but playing?

    dude you're getting your wires crossed...minimize the porn while you comment on vids.

    also, why did you look this song up if you hate it?

  • just to complain, that's why =P

  • I prefer the line "And my big brother come put the blame on me, yeah" in the old, rather than "And big brother, brother try to put the blame on me" in this one. Yet, I prefer the "Oh, little sister" in this version to the "Oh, and he's pushin'" in the old version. Except for the part where he says "Oh, and I'm pushin', if I could get above" in the original take. That part gives me chills

    Also, when the "In my mind there's a clearing.." part starts, I prefer the old take's lyrics.

  • it's the jam, if you dont like the jam, your an imposter. now you are the weakest link, goodbye.

  • GOD I LOVE PEARL JAM!

    THANK YOU STONE, ED, JEFF, MIKE, DAVE, DAVE, MATT, MATT, and JACK FOR THE INCREDIBLE MUSIC!!!!!!!

  • anyone else notice a bit of stairway to heaven at the beggining?

  • lol NOO

  • WOOOO HOOO I LOVE THIS SONG

  • but like i said... this version is my favorite song of all time. and im not even a huge pj fan. that just means they made one kickass song XD

  • hey just to show you how long Americas been in and out of iraq.The first gulf war was on when this was written

  • ????? wtf ?????

  • GRUNDGE ROCK FTW

  • FUCK YEAH!

  • Best song they ever did in my opinion..

  • i dont give a fu-ck what anyone says , pearl jam is one of the best bans in the world. whoeversaid PJ sux doesnt know music

    end of story

    PJ,Nirvana,and everyone from that time have re-shaped rock for the best

  • Mucker,

    I hate the political activists that PJ (especially Vedder) has become.. BUT 'Ten' was a great album that will always have a lot of personal meaning to myself & lots of other PearlJam fans.. I wish they had released this back in 91, it's a great track... and you're right, all the early 90s Washington State bands did change rock. peace.

  • i hate your mom

  • nirvana never reshaped rock, they threw up on  it

  • im big pearl jam fan and this is one of there best songs ever I Love Pearl Jam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Pearl Jam is the best band ever!!! Black is still my favorite song, first Pj song i ever heard and fell in love with them, but i do like this song its not the same as their older shit but still very good....and always puts a smile on my face!

  • yea i kinda found that out...later that day and im like oh damn im stupid! and i now look like i dont know shit about pj but i do just that one thing i over looked....*pouts*!

  • sweet ass song...pearl jam will always be awsome

  • fucking awsome

  • if you say that this isn't that good and that pearl jam is weaken and blablabla then you never were a great fan of them!

    This song is SOOOO pearl jam. Listen to other bads that excist for so long. A lot changes in their song. Pearl jam just stays pearl jam. With a wicked intro like deep. And a solo that is almost not rewritable for people who play the guitar.

    And ofcouse the meaning of hte songs ...

  • man what you said is 110% true. i am glad to see that their are other people who feel the same way as i do

  • yup :) a lot of young people from the new generation even don't know pearl jam...

    Well i am 18 so maybe i am still part of that generation but pj is my favo band :) maybe i am an exception xd

  • I think everyone should hear the story of what this song and many of Pearl Jams' songs are all about. NWO smack down and they don't like it Great Song.

  • pearl jam is as good now as ever. Vedder is still amazing. This is very classic pearl jam.

  • PERFECT!!! I love it :D

  • wtf goes that faggot mj have to do with pearljam

  • Probably someone saying they were sad MJ was dead, and then people started fighting over who was better. I commented to explain why their fighting was pointless.

  • late comment but thats very nicely said :)

  • nice song vedder nice song!!!!!!!!!!

  • you're an idiot. he was amazing, and yeah he had weird views on children but he never sucked ten year old dick. so fuck off.

  • nah, he just made the ten year old suck his!!!

    jacko is a black spot in the bottom of the human genepool. the guy should never have been allowed anywhere near chldren

  • they are reissuing the original version of ten with 6 additional songs

  • and also MJ has nothing on pearl jam

    sorry mj fans

  • mj sucked pearl jam is way better

  • MJ is 80s Pop

    Pearl Jam is early 90s Grunge rock.

    these two genres are not compareable, so don't. Each is/was great to their own genre. MJ is a horrible Grunge singer, and Pearl Jam is a horrible 80s pop group.

  • this is awesome ! wait im so confused, like the are reissueing this album again with new songs the never released ?? please sum1 tell mw whats going on ! .. ps i love Ten !!!

  • 91.............09

  • awsome song!

  • Where can i get the "new" lyrics for this song? I found the old ones from 10, but they are slightly different than this version. This has been updated for the current times we seemingly live in.
