this is the best musical analysis series on YT...if not ever. awesome.

[MrPhilterman]

Someone once told me that actually "listening!" to music is a skill, and it is.

[mtgentry]

My wife grew up in Seattle in the 90’s and had never heard ‘Jeremy’. Still blows my mind.

[bleikrsound]

The 90's may one day be considered the last great era of rock. A wonderful, gritty time. I feel privileged to have been a part of it.

[AndrewSowerby]

I've been listening to and playing this song for 27 years, and I learned more in these 18 minutes than I did in all that time.
Thank you.

[AustrianCitizen]

3:11
Rick: you can hear the open b string ringing in there
Me: [knowing nothing] of course!

[pitpride]

I had no idea this song was so complex. I respect them even more. I know I heard Cello! We used to fight about that! I love that you treat 'grunge' with the respect it deserves.

[ComradeLoaf]

Dude, how is no one talking about how this dude has ALL THE PARTS ISOLATED? I could listen to Eddie Vedder's raw vocal track alone, this song is unreal

[monk]

I have no music background, so it's hard for me to follow notes and stuff like that, but I hear what you're talking about and feel it. Your passion gets me so motivated, excited, and happy about music. These vids make me appreciate music even more. Thank you.

[AL.N-music]

Rick, this series is way better than a 'production' or 'arrangement' workshop. It's like case studies after case studies. Awesome content man. Thanks

As unique as Eddie Vedder's voice is, so are the guitars . They don't follow standards set by other artists . Instead they come on like a chill or a twitch, some what unexpected and emotionally and symbolically induced. The band has extreme connectivity with their soul and a complete command of expression.
They are the real deal !

[patrickjaroch]

Dude you have the best channel on you tube. i have been blown away by all that you share. your children are so lucky to have a father that is Such a gifted teacher.

[terrinpeterson]

I even tear up in my eyes from just the analysis, the haunting feeling of this song is undeniable and I just try to imagine how serious these guys were in the recording studio when they made this song. No laughing, no joy, just letting the primal instinct to fight for life emerging into one song. That's what I feel from it.
R.I.P. Jeremy Wade Delle ❤️

Dude, you are like the Anthony Bordain of music. You appreciate and review music from practically every genre for what it is and you give us a taste of each one of them and explain why it's amazing. Plus, you and Anthony kind of have similar features lol. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I stumbled upon your page. I wish everyone had this much appreciation towards music! I would love to see a segment on any one of the following:


King Crimson - Frame By Frame
Tool - Pushit (Salival live version)
Failure - Anything off of "Fantastic Planet"
Mr. Bungle - Retrovertigo (or any song..lol I know it's not for everyone.)
Incubus - Certain Shade of Green.. or.. Redefine (or anything off "S.C.I.E.N.C.E" or "Make Yourself"
Faith No More- Cone of Shame..or Superhero (Or anything off their new album "Sol Invictus"


Keep doin' your thing!

I was a fan of Pearl Jam (at a distance) when Alive and Even Flow were mainstay's on the radio in the early 90's. However, when Jeremy was released and became the radio mainstay it was, I became a real fan. The song is incredibly powerful (as most songs are from Pearl Jams first album, especially) but the songs subject matter combined w/the music and vocal delivery from Vedder, really got my attn. Black soon followed and from there I was and like to think, the rest of the world who appreciated this music, were hooked for good. Not only was this good music to the ear but there was also substance behind the song in its lyrics and the delivery of them by Vedder was something... for sure. The best music to me, are the songs that sound great, are about something, and connect with you or make you feel something on an emotional level. This song has it all...

Great Job Rick!

[brianzane]

Thank you for this! It's a perfect example of why I've always loved the band. 5 dudes playing nothing particularly complicated on their own, but all their different parts together were often dense and magical. Your analysis was a joy to watch.

[motelghost]

Pearl Jam's finest ever song. The free-form second half is astounding.

[justinleckband]

"Almost thirty years later" i just about spit out my metamucil

[jeremysequeira]

This has always been my favourite song by Pearl Jam but after watching this video I love this song even more than I ever thought I would!

[RobbDizzl]

What I love the most here are all these imperfections, "bad" edits, punch ins, just tight enough for Rock 'n Roll. I love all these 90s records, at the height of tape recording technology, fat, punchy and not edited to oblivion.
