Jeremy-Pearl Jam Bass Cover

Based on an actual suicide in Richardson Texas, this grunge hit by Pearl Jam tells about a boy named Jeremy. Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam read a small article in a newspaper regarding a 16 year old sophomore at Richardson High School who shot himself, as his way of getting back at the kids who tormented him. According to Vedder, he wanted to turn a small article into something bigger and wrote "Jeremy" in 1991. This was later featured on Pearl Jam's album "Ten".

Pearl Jam bass player Jeff Ament played the track with a 12-string bass. Jeremy is a rather difficult piece to completely identify on the bass. Most of it is drowned out throughout the verses, though it's easily identified at the intro and the outro.
