Pearl Jam - Go REACTION & REVIEW! FIRST TIME HEARING! That Was Pretty Shreddy...

[@TheUpperbutt]

Ps you still talk too much but i'm warming up to it =)

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Still agree with you 100%, glad to hear it though.

[@brucenadeau5920]

He DOES talk a LOT BUT that is the fucking appeal to him eh? At first I was STFU dude and REACT BUT after a few videos I WAS loving his comments EVEN IF I Wanted him to hit play at times, DON'T change it up David, I DID subscribe DUE to your EXCELLENT views and commenting.

[@timothydavid4565]

VS is the album that got me into PJ. The whole album is awesome. See what you’ve been missing out on all these years 😂

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Shaddup....

[@FeelItRising]

Yeah, I like Ten, but Vs is incredible and their best imo. Ten probably comes in the middle of ranking for me. Probably because I think everything on it is better live than the album.

[@LudvikM]

Same here, to this day I still prefer Vs to Ten, heretic (oops, pun definitely not intended) as that might sound for most fans.

[@FulltimeDuddooScene]

heard em all... all genres... Vs. and Vitalogy are the best albums ever in human history...

[@FulltimeDuddooScene]

and same here... this is the album that got me into grunge... i still remember the day when i heard this album for the first time and made me pick up the guitar ... and eddie's vocals.... that's everything... never heard anyone sing like this...

[@iad77]

Soon as I heard this back in the day, I was a pearl jam fan for life, I already knew Jeremy but that didn't pull me into them but VS... I played that album non stop for decades, I love it so much, there's not a bad track... 😊

[@C_mey]

Dave Abbruzzese on this album is just incredible!! Their BEST drummer 🔥🔥🔥

[@gsc76]

The Rythm and soul behind most early PJ is Stone. He would throw off these riffs behind the scene that would get stuck in your head for days. It’s why he’s one of my favorite guitarists ever. Especially live from 94-05. His improvisations were second to none. Especially with headphones.

[@thegoatchild3545]

Viva la Stone Gossard! 🤘🤘

[@ChrisBeiting]

However this song’s music was written by the drummer, Dave Abbruzzese.

[@FreedomStateIOCM]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME DUDE! YESSSSSS!!!! "There playing 3 on 4 but instead of starting on the down beat there starting on the UP beat. I've never heard that pulled off so well" FUCKKKKK! Never knew how to express that and I shed a tear in a private moment when you got it out to tons of people for us who felt that. You're awesome man!

[@babylonkid]

Hey man honestly, this song is f'n phenomenal.

[@LudvikM]

I love that you're not going for the usual cliches of so many reaction channels, and also that you _need_ to figure things out when others would go like "wow, I don't know what they did there but I like it". Your passion for music is truly contagious, and makes you a lot of fun to watch and listen to.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

FEELIN' YOU Ludvik!!! I do my best for you all, because you deserve nothing but the best from me. Glad you're enjoying the show.

[@spencerific93]

Dave Abbruzzese was a massive asset to Pearl Jam for the two albums he played on (VS and Vitalogy). His playing is very tight, but carries a lot of energy and helps make this song IMO. Mike McCready's solo in this one was a one take, spur of the moment thing. He's stated that he has trouble recreating the solo in live performances, because he just played what he felt at the time. Probably my favorite solo of his.

[@dathorndike4908]

Jack Irons played on Vitalogy. Dave did Ten and Vs.

[@spencerific93]

@dathorndike4908 No, Ten was Dave Krusen. Abbruzzese played on VS and most of Vitalogy, with Irons playing on "Foxymophandlemama" after Abbruzzese was ousted.

[@christianeflentie1228]

Nice review. Thanks for calling out everybody including the engineers. One of these days you're going to remember Stone Gossard's name as the rhythm guitarist and CO-FOUNDER of the band with Jeff Ament. He's an amazing musician who really had the reins in the early days. They're all extremely talented dudes actually which is oddly probably one of keys to their longevity. They go out and do their own thing all the time and are successful individually. Glad you found a second for your play list! 😁

[@screwdriverman5-kf2ui]

One of their best

[@stratmad]

That guitar line is “the other guitar player’s” ie Stone Gossard. Dave Abbruzzese wrote the main descending riff and the bam bam bam riff pre chorus, Stone came up with that siren like guitar line.

[@tedurbina527]

Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror (Lollapalooza Brasil 2013) This is from the same album VS.

[@bohdansavastieiev6815]

Wanted to suggest this song, but to my mind one of their songs where you need to listen studio version to get full groove.

[@larrytodaro8460]

Stone plays lots of single line counter melody parts in tons of songs, especially as Eddie started to play guitar on more songs (Eddie does not play guitar on this song). This and "Why Go" and "Deep" from Ten are probably the most "metal" of their songs. "Rearviewmirror" from this album, especially any live version, can be absolutely bonkers, especially by the end.

[@CarlosSierralta]

Ladies and Gentleman, Mr. David Abbruzzese.

[@gmon78]

Amen Carlos.

[@FreeAssRecords]

Thank you.

[@lionesslion5863]

Tremor Christ is another interesting song by pearl jam. So many to chose from 🙌

[@FoxUnitNell]

its by soundgarden and was written by current drummer of pj, matt cameron whom has written tons of pj songs during the last 20 years including this years "get it back", "take the long way" and cowrote "dance of the clairvoyants"

[@dannyblau3850]

Still remember getting this record the week it came out as a kid. I kind of begged my mom for the album (which was something i generally didn't do). Got home, got to the first chorus of this song and knew they were my favorite band and have been ever since. oh and that absolutely is a shreddy solo. haha

[@HutTwoHike]

And for the record, I always approve of Reactors "Going back." Keep it up! Pearl Jam always merits it

[@MurdaCrumpet]

Notice how joey jordison took their groove intro and just sped it up and threw it into their slipknot song before I forget hahaha that's how u noticed the groove brother

[@Liverastic]

The music was written by the now-former drummer Dave Abbruzzese. Jeff's also hitting his 12 string bass hard too. I can't have a guitar in my hands tuned to drop-D and not play this song.

[@shads7708]

I knew you would like that! Great reaction 👍

[@mastergriggey391]

If you want to do a song on the opposite end of the spectrum listen to present tense... one of their best

[@elizabethwise4376]

One of my faves! Good to see you enjoyed it.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Yeah that was a good one.

[@shannonbiehl4282]

Who remembers MAD SEASON? Mike mccready and Lane Staley did one album tonight. The bassist was a well know blues player, he’s passed. The album was named ABOVE. They had 2 big hits Wake Up and River of Deceit. The entire album is an amazing journey.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I did a reaction to Wake Up. It got blocked. It's over on the Patreon page if you wanna check it out.

Got the Above album on vinyl such an incredible album

[@heathkeim3394]

Someone else recommended it...if you like this song, I think you’ll love Spin the Black Circle by PJ. FYI, the black circle is a vinyl album. PJ dug and pushed the vinyl before it was cool.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

.....keeeeeeeeeeeeep watching....all I can say.....

[@youravgjoe42]

I'm am not surprised at all that you liked this one. Others from PJ that are similarly rocking include: Leash, Rearview Mirror, Blood, Spin the Black Circle, and Why Go. As your tour through PJ has already revealed they have a lot of different sounds. You seem to like the heavier ones best.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

I've always liked the heavier songs and the heavier bands, just what I've always been drawn to.

Loved seeing them live in late 90s They took it back in a since pushing Mike out there with solos in their 2-3 hour concerts and some jam sessions it was AMAZE ING. 🥹😆 I love all their stuff but I wanted a whole album like Go after hearing it. Yeah I’m not very realistic…..hey don’t turn me on and slam the door in my face.

[@selaimutiara]

It was Stone Gossard who plays the guitar melody in the background during the chorus and during Mike's solo

[@HutTwoHike]

So far, Im only at the point where you are discussing the intro. As this has always been one of my favorite songs of theirs, its great watching you, as a head banger, talk about the intro and predicting that the song is about to take off, yet not knowing exactly how extraordinary its going to be. Now I will hit play to see you reaction to the next pat (hehe)

[@evgeniyvolkov3197]

Thanx for your review! Go!

[@Torthrodhel]

This is on the harder side of their stuff yeah, but I think "Habit" goes harder. Still this has a brilliant intro. Reminds me of a couple of tracks off of video games I loved the intros of in a similar way ("Little Piggy" by Jug off of one of the Destruction Derby games does a really interesting beat extension before it kicks in that kinda adds a three-roll to two groups-of-five snare smashing and "Tangerine (instrumental version)" by Feeder off of Gran Turismo 1 begins with some threes-over-fours before it clears it up with some hat hits and they both have the same "whoa what was that I'm pumped now" quality that this Pearl Jam track achieves).

[@lesliewoodley2384]

......keeeeeeeeeeeeep watching....all I can say....

[@jdbmd1499]

Go is my favorite pj song. Short but sweet. The opening track for this and Vitalogy might be the greatest ever. Except maybe Them Bones by Alice in chains

[@THEDavidHeretic]

Yeah "Them Bones" was a real punch in the face way to start an album.

[@MattHarris85]

I think the opening bit is meant to be a bit like a band noodling around before starting the rehearsal/song/gig. First song on this record

[@JarriNajam]

The best track off this album is Rearviewmirror, I'm shocked you've reacted to so many songs from Pearl Jam but not that. It's a classic and a kind of tune I think you'd enjoy. The version from SNL 1994 is the definitive one, for me. The intensity from 3:15 or so onwards is crazy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKWckIadltB8Z9E

Last time I'll bother ya with this one... but I think you'll appreciate it. I'll watch every PJ video you do.. us fans cannot get enough content!! There's definitely a cult like following lol.

[@THEDavidHeretic]

....keeeeeeeeeeeeeeep watching....all I can say....

[@jondubb35]

This song is the perfect example of groove, and how important it is to have a drummer that understands playing in the pocket. Dave Abbruzzese is the essence of groove, and is by far the best drummer for PJ. When he was in the band, they had a very distinct groove that none of the other bands from that scene had. It was what made PJ worthy of being included in the Seattle big 4 along with Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and Nirvana. Without Dave in the band, to me, they’re just average.

In the intro the instruments to me always sounded an animal growling just before a fight
