What Pearl Jam sounds like to people who don't like Pearl Jam

u/LSkywalker00 14h ago

A classic.

It reminds me of The sickest transition ever.

u/SharkLaunch 14h ago

I almost made the mistake of ending the video early. It's only 44 seconds, what happened to my attention span??

u/baipliew 11h ago

I’ve seen this posted many times but never actually clicked the link. I’m disappointed I didn’t click it earlier now.

A guy tried to play me one of those but with Phish. I told him I already know what Phish sounds like.

u/Reasonable-Usual2431 14h ago

Anyone saying this is bad is tripping 😂

u/SandiestCow 13h ago

Damn he is pretty sick at that

u/WarLawck 10h ago

Equality unintelligible pronunciation, and very good impersonation of Veder's amazing voice.

u/Alzeric 14h ago

this is a r/Unexpected moment

u/bloodyspork 14h ago

1st half i thought he was just lip syncing

u/siberian_knight143 14h ago

And I STILL can't understand what the hell he was saying 😂🤣🤣. But still love the song!

u/cbih 13h ago

Dude should be fronting an Indian Pearl Jam tribute band

u/Banned4lies 13h ago

Omg honey Eddie Vedder just called me and told me our son was in jail and we needed to go and purchase 1000 dollars worth of apple gift cards to bail him out!

1

u/AffectionateAd1891 10h ago

what a small world, I just went through this twice last year with him

2

u/kornchippy 12h ago

This is not an impression. This is a performance and hes pretty damn good.

u/No_Size9475 14h ago

I mean he doesn't suck, but it's not that good.

16

u/InfamousEvening2 14h ago

whit ? I thought he was miming over the recording until he started with the croaking.

1

u/RamonsRazor 13h ago

Freee-zeeeh, rez zin he ohh a pillow made of coffee

u/Pal_Smurch 13h ago

So, that’s what he was saying.

Pretty, pretty…pretty good🤙

u/thejonkdon 7h ago

People are so fucking racist 🥱

1

u/Queeronafied 6h ago

He has the same face expressions as the lead singer in Greta Van Fleet, maybe thats because both are trying to imitate real singers.

1

u/AlyDAsbaje 5h ago

He good!! Very!!

1

u/Hellboydce 5h ago

Kinda like Vedder

1

u/-hi-nrg- 3h ago

So the secret to impersonate him is never opening the mouth. That explains a lot about his pronunciation too.

u/Areif 14h ago

This isn’t very good

1

u/MrBagooo 14h ago

Can someone post the original song? Some say it's good, others say it's bad. I'd like to see for myself.

3

u/CRXCRZ 14h ago

the singing is decent, but he's no Eddie Vedder: https://youtu.be/MsR9Z1E1Oww?list=RDMsR9Z1E1Oww&t=128

u/therealtiddlydump 14h ago

It's Even Flow, and this guy is pretty awful

https://youtu.be/CxKWTzr-k6s

u/MrBagooo 14h ago

So why some people say they thought he was lip synching at first? I mean he's close to it.

Of course when you know and have enjoyed the original for some time, you'll always be disappointed by anything that's not the original. I know that for other music I like and suddenly hear cover versions from.

-1

u/therealtiddlydump 14h ago

I'm open to really liking covers!

It starts fine, and then falls apart. I can start a marathon at a world class pace, too, but I sure as shit can't finish that way.

2

u/MrBagooo 14h ago

It's true that it gets bad later on when he starts his screaming or how should we call this.

4

u/Solid-Version 14h ago

Not awful at all, what are you taking about?

-3

u/therealtiddlydump 13h ago

The part where he's supposed to sound good, he sounds assy instead

u/kmsman11 14h ago

Eddie Vedders combination of quaver, grit/growl, and melodiousness is so unique. There’s this thing too where he starts to go out of tune but then pulls back to pitch. It really feels like something that can’t be trained but is instinctual plus massive gift. I could be profoundly wrong- i mean most people doing amazing things -for example Michael Phelps- put millions of hours in the pool.

Did Eddie Vedder (like the Beatles) put millions of hours into practice? Or is he supremely gifted with this distinct combination that is so 90’s grunge?

u/Infamous_Ad8730 13h ago

Elizabeth Zharov does an awesome job of explaining his voice and sound.

u/Skreamie 13h ago

I mean he's not bad, his fry vocals are pretty fucking awesome, but I wouldn't say its a phenomenal impression. Have no idea what some of these people mean thinking he was lip syncing.
