I stumbled across this on youtube today. I thought it was really well done. Thoughts?

Re: Jeremy (Cover)
I have three thoughts on this-
#1 - Pretty impressive tune to sing/play solo. I'm no guitar player, but that looks like a hard melody to sing whilst playing a bass/rythm guitar mixture simultaneously. Or maybe it's easy- shit I don't know. Looks hard, and he pretty well nailed it.
#2 - This dude probably wasn't even born when this song came out, which means it would be like me playing a cover of Styx's Come Sail Away when I was 20. This, in turn, means that Pearl Jam is so classic rock and what I knew as classic rock really isn't even classic rock anymore. Oh, and I'm old.
#3 - Since when did Tommy Boy become cool, retro T-shirt fodder for a acoustic guitar-toting dudes singing classic rock? Callahan Auto Parts rocks

Re: Jeremy (Cover)
This format really highlights the fact that "Jeremy" is about 2 minutes of song and 3 minutes of various grunts and moans.

Re: Jeremy (Cover)
And those grunts and moans are sheer awesomeness. I would take just these over the songs on some of their other albums.theplatypus wrote:This format really highlights the fact that "Jeremy" is about 2 minutes of song and 3 minutes of various grunts and moans.
Pearl Jam is the only band I'll spend money on.
