Red Mosquito

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

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

who does this guy sound like? There's something very familiar about his voice.

Any number of American Idol contestants?

Seether!

who, I presume, got their start on American Idol

He sounds like someone trying to sound like eddie vedder.

Bring Pearl Jam to Israel!

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

Weird song to cover. And write.

Why doesn't Pearl Jam ever play the South???!!!

And those grunts and moans are sheer awesomeness. I would take just these over the songs on some of their other albums.
