Behind The Album: Pearl Jam | Vs.

[@TheUyotube]

One of the greatest sophomore albums of all time

[@DemonSlide]

Agreed. Totally goes against the sophomore slump trend.

[@superunknown2812]

Pearl Jams best album front to back such a diverse album.And don't even get me started on Dave's drumming on this album wish they kept him in the band

[@billybats4745]

He was the X factor and everyone fucking knows it!

[@mikes51501]

I’m with you. When Dave left I think they lost an edge they never got back.

[@sunsetcliffs98]

Their best album in my opinion. Before Vedder took the reigns musically. The best songs seemed to all start with a good Goddard riff in the past.

[@Casherr93]

Actually ed took the lead in this album, the sound difference compared to ten is huge

[@flipjupiter1]

​@@Casherr93 no, it was Vitalogy.

[@DKS1975DKS]

[@whowho8470]

I listened to Ten and Vs. last weekend (it had been a while) and really with these two albums I think the band was at a spot where they had caught lightning in a bottle. Both albums are sooo good and the music and feel are so rich. They had a four-ish year run ('91-'93) where they were just an amazingly creative and interesting rock n roll band.

[@ministerofdarkness]

By far my favorite Pearl Jam album. PLAY LOUD!

[@DerrickHuntingtonDrums]

I concur! What an EPIC album.

[@williamburgis3207]

Don't tell me what to do

[@DemonSlide]

I prefer "Vitalogy". But I gotta admit "Vs" is a masterpiece as well

[@Donscottmusic]

@@DemonSlide "Vitalogy" was definitely a dark, and (dare I say) very strange album. I mean that last track....wtf was that about? lol Songs like "Last Exit", "Not For You", "Nothingman", "Better Man" and "Immortality", do make Vitalogy pretty good though.

[@thegsk]

Still have a copy of the album on cassette tape with FIVE AGAINST ONE the original title on it.

[@kkrsnn5632]

Got the ttape somewhere, I need to check it

[@williamburgis3207]

Sa*weet! I got an invaluable 1977 penny I'd be willing to trade for it, but you gotta act fast. Given too much time to ponder I'll probably change my mind.

[@Donscottmusic]

That's a rarity. Definitely hold on to it.

[@murpi338]

Mine has no title

[@Donscottmusic]

Great follow-up to TEN. Just a shame that "Alone" did not make the album. One of PJ's best songs.

[@flipjupiter1]

Yes! Still one of my cherished CD's. I bought the single from Tower Records. They had an import section. I love that song.

[@MiKeMiDNiTe-77]

Their best album IMO 💿

[@victortheoneandonly]

My favorite PJ album

[@flipjupiter1]

Great video. Thanks for putting this up. Is there a video like this for all their albums?

[@laurawatters914]

"Indifference" is one of my favorites!! I choose that song for my memorial. Awesome video thank you!! 😊💓🤘✌️one of my favorite albums!

[@AP-ui7oi]

I was 17 when this album came out ❤️ Such a great time in life and music.

[@robertdubray8691]

I was in highschool, and it was the first and only time I went to a record release at midnight. When we all watched Pearl jam show up late and destroy the MTV music awards was my Beatles on Sullivan moment. What was the album cover about?.....my parents gave me strange looks and questions do to that picture. Lol

[@Brento44]

The drumming in this album change the game.. David Abbruzzese changed that band.

[@stevepetty3458]

Ten came out , didn’t think it could be bettered, V’s did just that , both absolutely flawless.I think Pearl Jam set the bar with the greatest run of flawless albums in succession Ten - V’s- Vitalogy - No code and Yield.

[@tremorchristlester4688]

Tbh I've always thought Vs was better then Ten. But Vitalogy has both of those albums beat. Vitalogy is my #1 favorite by PJ. Vs is up there in my top 5

[@dewiwilliams4821]

Some of my favourite songs are from vitalogy, but when you take away the obnoxious filler "tracks" there only like 8 or 9 actual songs on it. It's much lower down my rankings of their albums because of that. I don't have to skip multiple tracks when I listen to Ten, vs or Yield, no code. I think as an album vitalogy was deliberately sabotaged and could have been so much better. Still, some absolute killer songs on it.

[@lasttime1372]

Where can I find this version of Indifference that’s on 11:38?

[@johnparsons1573]

Awesome job

[@golden_eldorado]

All of the songs on this record could’ve been released as singles

[@MrRobsonator]

thanks a lot - great job done

[@jakebeaudrie]

Where did that version of "Indifference" in the video come from?

[@ajb-drums]

Sounds like a cover

[@Snelliscool]

hey man i really enjoy your youtube videos a lot. I want to see this chanel grow so here's a tip . upload 2 shorts a day if possible just talking about an interesting fact about a song / band or person and it doesn't have to be a lot of effort just be consistent. Your traffic to your channel will grow exponentially . I hope ya read this and really think about it as the shorts algorithm is very easy to exploit right now so good videos shoot up very fast . good luck man ~!

[@fastsavannah7684]

Sounds like Rick Beato’s under the weather voice over here.

[@flooskesky764]

Does anyone know where I could find that version of Indifference that was played in the video, it sounded amazing and I just wanna know where I can play that

[@josuarroyo26]

Something I would like to ask anyone from the band is why the band went from grunge to a more ballad and alternative sound in future albums.

[@jriamyou8156]

It happened because what was once Stone & Jeff's band became Eddie's band. They lost me after that.

[@amphitritegoddessofwater9303]

❤👽

[@johngreen9830]

That interview with the girl asking about the vinyl was rough man. Jeff held him together as much as he could but man Eddie was being such a dick to that sweet kid. Dw guys I love Vedder but that was really awful the way he out in that accent and acted all weird and I’m shocked that he’d actually do that.

[@Casherr93]

If only they promoted it a bit more...

[@SparkySpice0911]

8:42 is that fucking master chief?

[@Eisenwolf1916]

Bro what 👀

[@bombasticbadassbrigade3552]

Steve Downs (the voice of Master Chief) - definitely sounds like him. He was/is a radio DJ.

[@electrictwilight]

It should have been clear Dave A wasn't going to last in the band once Eddie said he hated the Site and Dave loved recording there. Two completely different approaches.

[@clintwilson6380]

Their first album is probably the best, which is kind of a problem when is together that long...

[@bridgidigital]

Musicians shouldn't feel this need to be nausiatingly poetic for every answer to a journalist interns' question. Veder sounds like he's trying to write lyrics even when he's ordering a cheeseburger 🍔

[@ministerofdarkness]

🍔😋

[@TheLedonne3]

Why bother recording songs that you don't want other people to hear/sing along to/ have become familiar to the masses. This mindset is completely ridiculous, and in hindsight, Vedder sounds like a fool. And I love these guys.

[@travzimmerman1340]

It was hip @ the time to talk like that

[@davis2k1234]

It’s actually mind blowing that all mortal bands/musicians out there would kill to have just one semi hit song and Vedder was like this song I wrote is gonna be to big and popular I don’t want to put it out 🐐 status

[@victorb.1356]

No question Dave A. was the X factor on this album. But the megalomaniac at the helm couldn't handle someone that couldn't be controlled. Letting go of Dave Abbruzzese proved that certain drummers are irreplaceable. You just can't "plug" another drummer in their place. IMO the band never recovered and wallows in mediocrity to this very day. Nice going, Veddie!

[@davis2k1234]

Just saw them with Matt Cameron a few weeks ago they sound amazing love Dave A drumming they but he’s replaceable literally replaced him with 2 diff drummers and kept on keeping on and Riot Act is the best Pearl Jam album in my opinion

[@victorb.1356]

@@davis2k1234 Don't take my word for it. Read the comments on any video that involves Dave A. The vast majority of comments admit he was their best drummer (by far). Rarely in rock has a drummer driven a band as well as Dave A. did on Vs and Vitalogy. Not to mention the live performances. Every remake he did of a song on Ten is better than the original (sorry Dave K.). MC is perfectly suited for a band like Soundgarden, especially with his odd time signatures, etc. But, what do I know...

[@davis2k1234]

@@victorb.1356 I agree with you and all the others that seem to all say Dave A was the best drummer PJ ever had. I didn’t see PJ live til after he was gone but sure he was the best live also but the slights to Vedder and the albums after Vitalogy is were all of you just plain wrong he was replaced and the band still put out amazing music and live shows I’d argue Yield Binaural and Riot Act are there 3 of the best albums all in my top 5

[@xnocta7825]

Cool. first comment

[@Pinhead101]

Good album. Diva vedder is the worst.

[@Uzurr69]

Just can't get into this album for some reason.. the mix sounds off, songs feel unfinished or unrefined. Vitalogy, Yield and Binaural all blow this one out of the water for me.

I remember buying this album on cassette as a teenager and being really disappointed. So overrated. I should have bought Nevermind or STP Purple rather, even though I had a bootleg.

Booo

I don't know know how you could be disappointed. All 3 are great and classic albums and I had all and wouldn't have been disappointed with any of them. But this is the best PJ release. So many great songs. Reviewmirror is one of my favorite songs of all time.

You fuckin crazy.

[@BrianLoher-g5h]

Something I feel like Eddie has became what he hated like I think he's been surrounded by too many rich people I want to see him bitching about guns now and act like a drunk it's kind of I don't know I got a Pearl jam tattoo on my arm I'm a musician I love their music Mike McCready is you know my idol when it comes to guitar playing my dad like listening to The rolling Stones cuz my dad listen to me now so I'm 50 so when I was a kid he be playing the stones and stuff and records and records so while the ideals I get man but when you watch like guns that will make you disgustws.. And I also think I think the way they handle David breezy who is the best drummer they ever had was terrible the way that you left him out of the the Rock and roll Hall of Fame was that doesn't matter that kind of credit I'm was terrible the way that you left him out of the the Rock and roll Hall of Fame... And I hear it's because him and Eddie didn't get along or something like that that And also you can find video of Eddie's band bad radio you see that he doesn't seem that scared of him he doesn't seem that depressing or whatever he was trying to go for because then it starts to seem like an act, as I get older and if you're young and you like music you might start to find this out that the things you love 20 years prior that you thought were so real and indicative of who you are I think that's the right way to say that word anyways nothing is real man everything started out everything is just it's kind of depressing I'm depressing myself all right goodbye
