  • u.u mto mto mto loka essa musicaa

  • I dunno, I love just about every Pearl Jam song I hear, but this song probably takes the cake for me as my favorite. This, Release, Better Man, and Jeremy.

  • classic is all i have to say!!!!!!!

  • Pearl Jam is the best grudge band along with Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Jane's Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins, Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead, Soundgarden.

  • @DevinTownsend1 - It's called grunge, and PJ was hardly that. They just happen to come out at the same time as all those other groups. They're a rock n roll band...straight up! Nothing wrong with grunge...just wanted to clarify.

  • @HDGuruGuy Pearl Jam is played on the classic rock station I listen to though. They barely play Pearl Jam on the modern rock station anymore.

  • @DevinTownsend1 - It depends on your area. They play them both on the classic rock station and the alternative station here in SF (Live 105). In any case, PJ rocks.....I remember paying $40 for a studio quality copy of Unplugged on MTV back in the day....had that shit on replay for 2yrs straight.

  • @HDGuruGuy Pearl Jam does sound like 70's rock and they sound nothing like grunge. I look at the year because the year matters to. Pearl Jam is really classic alternative rock just like The Black Crowes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Smashing Pumpkins.

  • Greattttt Songggg!!!!!

  • It makes me proud that when you type in "alive" in the search bar, this "Alive" is the first suggestion. Pearl Jam fucking rocks.

  • This song was me at my ultimate point of being a teenage rebel.

  • Is It just me or does this really sound like 70's rock? I know they are 90's though, but I could swear they sound like something back in 1974.

  • Chuck Norris played the guitar solo in this song.

  • @SuperPissdrunx

    NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Mike Mccready played the guitar solo to this song, if you are a pearl jam fan you should know that god doesnt come close to the epicness of his playing :)

  • @JJJester95

    im the hugest fan( for me at least)

    but if chuck norris played that solo

    it would last at least more 10 minutes of pure perfection

    ;D

  • @iganbr Sorry mate, you lose. liking chuck norris stopped being cool 3 years ago.

  • @SuperPissdrunx wow thats why the solo sucks ass

  • 36 people dont like this song or dont understand the irony of chuck norris jokes..... chuck norris has recently destroyed the entire periodic table as he only recognises the element of surprise!

    oh yeah.... pearl jam still rock my world!!

  • Hold on one minute

    Eddie Vedder - Society - Surfing in Fiji

    -----> watch?v=h4b8-0tyalA

  • chuck norris is just an actor relax...

  • @gugik1970 atleast somebody understands, wh do people make these childish chuck norris jokes? he's not really that badass, he's an actor, who's probably sitting in a mansion laughing about this

  • @LukeGNR94 i know right, it gets annoying, i mean any boxer or martial arts or whatever can beat him and we'r not makin jokes bout themmmm..

  • This was recorded on the day I was born :D

  • Whoa.

  • pearl jam is, and always will be, one of the greatest bands ever. this is one of my favorite songs.

  • were all here becasue VEVO is shit

  • best guitar solo ever!

  • @Bokr3 Agreed.

  • Pearl jam is the chuck Norris of music

  • I love this song, but am I the only one who can't understand a majority of the lyrics in this song? I can understand the lyrics "I'm Still Alive", but not the rest.

  • Comment removed

  • @Ilove4747

    The name "Ten" is based off the number of Pearl Jam's favorite basketball player, Mookie Baylock - not on how many songs are on it.

  • dude, i hate middern music. i just dont like the bands u listed.

  • @folsomjazz oh yo dude me neither, read more closely, I called them buttrock bands not my favourite I actualy strongley hate those bands listed, very very much

  • when I can not with my problems and I am very depressed, I hear this song and remember something ......." I'm still alive ".......... and that motivates me to go ahead and dominate my weaknesses

    thanks Pearl Jam

  • This album, "Ten", has eleven songs on it. O_o

  • Butt rock.

    

  • @jpatc4 lol, this isn't even close to butt rock.

  • @MnMz4L1F3 Lemme drop some knowledge.

    Top Buttrock artists in order of greatest to least Assage

    1) Creed

    2) Nickleback

    3) Pearl Jam

    4) Puddle of Mud

    5) Anything where people drawl out their r's and imitate CCR vocals badly, with cheap, uninspired grunge/heavy influenced riffs.

  • @jpatc4 wow ur a dumb ass, nickleback is fur sure buttrock but not pearl jam, they dont try to imitate ccr they sound nothing like ccr nore any other band well mayby besides creed, but eddie vetter sings his fucking soul out at every concert u are an ignorant douche bag who knows nothing about music, only thing u got right was about nickle back

  • @misfitsfan28

    Ask someone who ISN'T a Pearl Jam fan about it. It's butthole, just turned into music.

  • @jpatc4 or mayby u should keep ur dumb ass opinions to yourself next time

  • @misfitsfan28

    Or Maybe you should become a renowned computer scientist, and create a complex code with a syntax that filters out the butt in Pearl Jam. Fix it with SCIENCE! with enough ordered numbers, all the ass in this genre can be removed!! HOLLY SHIT GUYS LETS DO THIS!

  • @jpatc4 or mayby we shoot u in the head along with all the other dumbasses in the world, create a global allegiance, form world peace, solve world hunger. and chill to pearl jam just the way it is because its good its pure its alive.

  • @misfitsfan28 Or maybe you shoot all of Pearl Jam and stop Jaming to Clam turds

  • @jpatc4 or mayby you should kiss my ass

  • @jpatc4 or mayby you should kiss my ass

  • @jpatc4 or mayby you should kiss my ass

  • @misfitsfan28 Or maybe you should not post trips.

  • @jpatc4 agreed

  • @misfitsfan28 ur music sucks, bro

  • @folsomjazz its better than the modern shit that you listen to u preppy ass hole

  • @jpatc4 besides real buttrock is

  • that's really funny, cause you say they're grunge influenced when they helped START THE FUCKING MOVEMENT. xD I can't even think of a single nickelback, creed, or puddle of mudd riff. But McCready knows his riffage. Any of those bands from Seattle is gonna agree on Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Pearl Jam are grunge. Buttrock was a term used for hair metal in the first place, they just call Nickelback that cause Chad Kroger has a perm...

  • Comment removed

  • The solo ranks with stairway to heaven and purple haze, one of the best ever.

  • Happy New Years Eve guys! I hope everyone has a good one! \,,/

  • this is one of the best bands ever

  • Listen to this when you get up in the morning. Beautful. This is also the song for when I was in high school.

  • I like this. A lot.

  • I DISCOVERED THIS BAND THROUGH GUITAR HERO 3 THANKS GH3 FOR SHOWING ME A NEW GOOD BAND /PEARL JAM/ HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

  • I want this song played at my funeral

  • People always saying that Screamo and demon-metal or whatever is taking over the Music industry but what they fail to realize is that if it wasn't for classic bands like Metallica, Pearl Jam, Nirvana and such.. there would BE no real rock and roll and there would be no Screamo.

  • @DeprezCA It's Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, The Who, Blue Oyster Cult, Billy Squier that made your hard rock. Metallica made your Metal, Screamo, Goth rock while bands like Led Zeppelin and Van Halen made real music and been around longer.

  • @DevinTownsend1 Agreed.. mine were just examples. But your absolutely right. To me, music is getting crazy and pretty stupid.. there's no soul or feeling in it. It's all about sex and drugs now. They had that in the past but it was more then that.. it was life and emotion. I could sit back and listen to the classic and relax, let my imagination run away y'know? Can't do that with some demon-wannabe screaming about killing himself.

  • @DeprezCA It's been a long time since I heard Pearl Jam and The Cult in the modern rock category. I'd say it's been 20 years since those bands played and I think they sound like they come from 1970. Pearl Jam would be in the classic rock category even though people argue over Pearl Jam is classic or they are modern.

  • @DeprezCA u can thank all that with mtv claiming to be the future of rock n roll, with their shitty music videos destroying the imagination, atleast thats what eddie vedder believes, I for one totally agree with him

  • @DevinTownsend1 wrong its bands like chuck berry bb king, howlin wolf, that made your hard rock, and theyve been around longer

  • @DeprezCA dont forget punk rock, which had a huge influence on nirvana

  • that his how a guitar solo should sound

  • Ament's bass on this album is fucking LEGENDARY

  • Damn, Vedder's voice can just send shivers through the ol' body

  • Esto es música dvv esto si es música!!! lml!!

  • Just finished watching their documentary and this song stuck out the most to me.

  • Got an email saying my package came in, finally. victory danced the shit out of this song.

  • Yesterday I went to a rock bar with a girl I really like. After some talking, we ended up kissing non-stop for two and a half hours, and of the tens of songs played, the only song that I could remember playing during those two and a half hours is this one. Maybe it's bescause I was feeling alive, after a long, long time...

  • @EricDanier that a boy

  • @EricDanier

    Then it sucks to have bad breath... :D

  • @EricDanier cool story bro ^^

  • @EricDanier

    Oh you are going to feel so dirty after you understand the meaning behind the lyrics

  • @Ristyo1992 lol

    

  • @Ristyo1992 What is it about?

  • @Ristyo1992 LOL hes gonna find out who that woman really was...

  • @Ristyo1992 eddie veder once said somthing every artist should follow -" Iam not gonna say what the song means to me cuz it speaks for itself the listener should interpret what it means to them"as eveyone is diffrent and get there own meaning-

  • If you haven't seen the new Pearl Jam 20 documentary I thoroughly recommend

  • That voice...that ending solo :O

  • hit the bong to this song :D

  • the chills i got when i first heard the first verse of this song...

  • Micheal Jackson at 2:35 xD

  • Simply awesome song! One of my all-time favourites. Never gets old. Also some of the best guitar work I have ever heard...and I've heard a lot!

  • This is Chell's song

  • Music is much better than sex any day of the the week!)))) SALUTE!

  • @ACERAMGAD I Agree with you, my friend.

  • @ACERAMGAD its easy, play music, and GET the SEX! haha!

  • cool song

  • BURN SCHOOL LISTEN PEARL JAM !!!

  • It's a shame most of today's popular music is total trash.

  • @pieguy248 So true. If you didn't grow up and listen to the music of the 80s and 90s... I'm sorry for your loss.

  • @pieguy248 "trash" is a tiny word...

  • Thank God Neil Young discovered Pearl Jam!

  • @gagery11 yup

  • I remember this song when i was like 3 in the late 90s

  • @96haynzy

    i do too. Only I'm like 14 so I was sperm when i was rocking out :P

  • They lifted the guitar solo from "She" by Kiss which was lifted from "Five to One" by The Doors.

  • Simply......... Great

  • Solo is mind-blowing and Pearljam always rocks

  • It's Stone Gossards ass!

  • @yujamie123

    Oh I'm sorry. Well Eddie still has a nice ass. :D

  • Eddie Vedder's ass is just so perfect.

  • @blahblahblahman k...?

  • 1043rd comment

  • fucking love me some pearl jam :)

  • Fucking amazing my brothers!!!

  • jesus called he said he wanted eddie vedder in his choir with his angles. but not yet at least.

  • Great song, cheers me up every time I hear it.

  • I love that I grew up in the 90's this music was so kick ass. SEATTLE ROCKS!!!!

  • I love this song, but reading the comments I've seen people hating on haters, without haters the band wouldnt be a band, they'd be in the mainstream and overplayed. Haters are what makes bands like this survive so long, it gives them determination. I love pearl jam, they're by far one of the best bands in the world. Just dont be mean to haters cuz it gives them the pride then, not you. OWNING IT! I'm having a great day today, good job on the song <3

  • one of the best songs i've ever heard i shit brix when i hear the part were he goes: AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIII I OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I;m Still alive YEEAEAEAEAEHHH

  • be right back, dying from the awesome guitar solo.

  • Hey eu, oh, eu ainda estou vivo! \ol

  • Mountain - silver paper.

  • I think we need 31 condoms and a time machine...

  • license never expire, valid forever

  • I jizz when the solo kicks in :D amazing song.

  • I wasnt even born when this song came out. much love for this noteage, where has music like this gone?

  • have you ever had a musical orgasm. CUZ I JUST HAD ONE WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • I was 1 that year that's right 1991 these were the good bands we still have even today Pearl Jam in my opinion is the greatest band ever

  • 31 people are dead

  • best guitar solo ever

  • on 2012 i'm gonna play this number when the world is gonna fall apart ;D

  • heres the problem with modern pop/ rap singers....... the have no talent what so ever. i mean NO talent. the bands from the past 30 or 20 years actually had talent wheather you like them or not the have talent.

  • @THECASTLECRASHR To say all of modern day musicians have no talent at all is ridiculous, your telling me adele, eminem, taylor swift, and i hate to say this but justin bieber, dont have talent??? I can agree that some musicians have a horrible sound now a days, but you also have to remember what you thought talent was 30 years ago is not viewed in some peoples eyes as talent now. I guess its mostly the change in times.

  • I'm glad to be alive to give the 2000th thumbs up

  • @filoudidlou1 COOOOOOL!!! NESS!!!

  • @filoudidlou1 Haha, I got 2100th thumps up!

  • i'm six and i my father died in a car crash and my mother has a deadly disease, i listen to the beatles and hate all the haters. don't give me thumps up because i'm not that pathetic....

  • Super-tight jeans with holes in the knees! I remember wearing those..

  • I'm thirteen, and my father still alive.

  • I've hated this band since the 90s. I tried but just couldn't like their songs. Until now.

  • @blissfullyignorant86 uncanny, Im the exact same, though still not fully convinced. I loved nirvana but I think age has mellowed my "principals".

  • @bananafence Yeah I'm actually just getting used to them. I always found it odd how I love nirvana, stp, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, all the grunge bands but never got into pearl jam. But I eventually came to appreciate the guitar playing in this group, you can hear the Hendrix influence.

  • @blissfullyignorant86 whats stp? :)

  • @denaelshabba stp means stone temple pilots pretty good band. they got weird around 2000 or so though.

  • @blissfullyignorant86 how do lke soundgarden but not pearl jam same singer

  • @THECASTLECRASHR soundgarden and pearl jam do not have the same singer... o.O

  • @THECASTLECRASHR LOL!!!!!!!! Soundgarden singer is Chris Cornell who went on to form Audio Slave, Pearl Jam singer is Eddie Vedder.....get your facts straight if your gonna post....

  • I know its been said before, but I would like this song to be played at my funeral.

    Note: Please do not thumb me up for this comment. I do not want to seem like I am comment whoring.

  • Pay attention to the lyrics, this song is about incest

  • @SUPERSPAMMER18

    Wow, you're not kidding...i examined the lyrics and even looked it up, you're right.

  • @CCRockit I was really surprised when I found out too... I still love it though, and I still scream "I am alive!" when I'm listening to it. =)

  • Steve Jobs Disliked this. Then Flagged a VIdeo about Cancer.

  • @Demither10 This comment is in extremely bad taste.

  • thumbs this up if youre still alive!

    (30 people weren't...)

  • this song makes me want to climb onto a rooftop and just shout it to the world

  • i figure its time to look out for your own, damm how i have grown

    when the police are given quotas to fill

    while we are losing our rights one by one i feel ill

    so i pray just once more not to waken again

    i will live my own life and not play your game

  • every day i wake to pain and pray to god i dont wake up again

    i live each day as best i can and when im threatened by a man

    i do my best to not take his life cuz i dont need the strife

    see the laws of man are wholey unjust only in god do i trust

    for when my protectors show me nothing but greed

    and want to imprison me for smoking a weed

  • i told my friends to play this song at my funeral...no joke

  • thought of this song while in the hospital
