calypsus_1	Posted: Mar 07, 2011 - 10:30 Pearl Jam - Come Back, Live Italy (2006) "This is dedicated to his best friend Johnny Ramone, who died in 2004. He always mentions him. "

ehat (Binghamton,NY)	Posted: Nov 01, 2010 - 06:56 Sounded like a struggling wedding or prom band - that being said, I did enjoy it.

He has a wonderful, evocative and unique style. Now I also appreciate sitting around the house on Saturday listening to *Dylan, Waits, Young and Costello as well as say Bowie, Mercury and McCartney to name three almost universally agreed great singers.* So Ed ain't your thing. I love him. I love all of those singers you named as well, Eddie Vedder still sucks balls.

You want perfect notes, perfect pitch, exquisite enunciation and dulcet tones, I suggest you go listen to the Three Tenors. (I'm not knocking Grand Opera, I enjoy it in its place, which is not on RP, IMHO. Well, OK maybe "Un bel dì vedremo".) Eddie Vedder delivers the tortured voice of lost love perfectly and makes this song a rock 'n' roll classic! Deserving of a repost

Well-crafted and strong through most of its run but then loses in the end to Veder's yodellings. Maybe in a throbbing sea of humanity, flogged by powerful axwork through a long night, those animal howlings might transport you to another plane; listening around the house on a Saturday morning, you hit mute. I think the raters before me had it about dead on, based on a better than pretty good through much of its run, but no better than a 6.1 due to the mute button at the end. So, not a PJ-hater, but more of a lover-hater. Maybe we could add letters to the ratings. I give it a 6.L-H. So you have a problem with Ed's voice. Think it might only work when in a concert setting.

maroubra (British Columbia Canada)	Posted: Sep 15, 2009 - 18:21 I think the Pearl Jam haters should give them some credit. They have been around for a while. They survived the Seattle grunge scene ( unlike so many others) and they have stuck true to what the do. I like them. They have written some great songs OK, P.J. haters bring it on .

crockydile (The swamps of Houston)	Posted: Jul 23, 2009 - 13:38 Eddie Vedder. What can I say? He sounds like he's trying really hard. I actually like "Black" in spite of the vocals...

Well, it is like this, Eddie Vedders voice reacts to my brain like fingernails on a chalkboard or bunny screams while being murdered by my cat. It is quite simple really.

Send me your address, I'll send you a couple of my CDs. Free. I'm not the greatest vocalist, but I can sing. Besides, one doesn't need to be a chef to dislike steak tartar. Yeah, right! No thanks. Besides, one doesn't need to be a singer to know they already don't like someone else's tone!

I never said he "couldn't sing" so your premise is wrong. I said I don't like his voice. But to answer your question, I like just about everyone on your list.

Richest baritone on the planet and has no trouble whatsoever hitting any high note he attempts! And live as well! Perhaps Ashlee Simpson is more their taste, (oh yea, I highly doubt she can carry a note whatsoever) that's ok, though, us pj fans are more than fine without the haters! Back at you orpheus - loving this tune and all PJ....

He can indeed hit the notes, his pitch seems to be average for a rock singer, no argument there. It's his TONE. That affected grunge voice that was responsible for ruining so much of 90's music. That, and the billy goat vibrato, which I always dislike... see Stevie Nicks. I second both comments, particularly the one about Stevie Nicks. Billy goat vibrato sums it up perfectly.

It makes it difficult to hear for anything but small doses.

You are forgetting that PJ was one of the first 90's grunge groups to make their appearance, alongside Nirvana, as we all know, and that many, many singers adopted Ed's vocal style as their own. If you were talking about Scott Stapp (or Sap depending on your point of view) I would agree with your "affected" comment, but you can't fault Ed for his original style and tone. When other singers borrow/copy another's style for which the person they're borrowing from has had fame and success, in an attempt to cash in, THEN it's "affected." And of course Ed had his own "influences" that can be heard in his style, but so the Beatles had Elvis (as well as many others), it just goes with the territory. (And that "vibrato" is properly referred to as "tremolo" even in classical music)
PurplePrincess (the mountains)	Posted: Apr 05, 2008 - 14:05 Referring to previous comment "billy goat vibrato"....what up with that? While I think the comment is funny and clever it is quite off the mark. A lot of us seem to love Eddie's strong and powerful voice, vibrato included.
goofyheadedpunk	Posted: Apr 05, 2008 - 14:02 That was... surprisingly painful.
