[@darreleddings5901]

Cornell on the song: When we started rehearsing the songs, I had pulled out "Hunger Strike" and I had this feeling it was just kind of gonna be filler, it didn't feel like a real song. Eddie was sitting there kind of waiting for a (Mookie Blaylock) rehearsal and I was singing parts, and he kind of humbly-but with some balls-walked up to the mic and started singing the low parts for me because he saw it was kind of hard. We got through a couple choruses of him doing that and suddenly the light bulb came on in my head, this guy's voice is amazing for these low parts. History wrote itself after that, that became the single.[4]

Eddie had just arrived in Seattle a few days before. This was eddies first recorded album, or major album. I’m not a big history buff, just adding a few tidbits.

That whole era of everyone's band supporting everyone's band defined the grunge movement, that's what makes it so damn great with magical lyrical content, miss him, miss the time and miss the friends!!

[@scootinthru]

It's interesting to note that Eddie's deeper voice almost serves the same function as a drone on a set of pipes to Chris' higher and more variable tone in parts of this song. Chris' voice works to create the framework of the song while Eddie's voice serves to fill in the gaps and smooth it all over. This song really is a fine example of two distinct voices working to complement each other well rather than competing with one another...

I would argue that Andrew Wood was the "godfather" of Seattle grunge through the band Malfunkshun. Along with his brother Kevin. Their band formed in 1980 whereas Soundgarden didn't form until 1984. It was Andrew Woods death that led to members of Mother Love Bone (A. Woods second band) to search for Eddie Vedder (at the suggestion of Jack Irons) and form Pearl Jam or Mookie Blaylock if you will. Eddie is basically auditioning on this album for Pearl Jam.

Back when they recorded this Chris was already well-established with Soundgarden while Pearl Jam was barely starting out (they were still called Mookie Blaylock), and Eddie, coming from San Diego (originally from Chicago), was kind of an outsider because the Seattle musicians all knew each other and were a close-knit community, so the fact that Chris invited him to duet on this song and made a point of becoming friends with him and inviting to hang out and do stuff sent a powerful message to the community that one of the coolest guys accepted the new guy, which helped Eddie a lot in the early days. When you said that you could feel the respect between them in the song, I thought it was interesting because at this point Chris was already kind of a Rock Star, while Eddie was an unknown singer starting out. It was still a couple of years until he became "Eddie Vedder the singer of Pearl Jam."

How's that possible? Isn't that their second drummer as a group?!

[@TenMillionYearProgram42]

check2121 McCready. Mike McCready, Stone, Jeff, and Eddie were all together for the first time on this track.

[@chb3676]

@@check-yb2yx Matt Cameron is their 5th drummer and was an active member of Soundgarden at the time, he officialy joined the band in 1999. This was a side project put together in honor of Andrew Wood, vocalist of Mother Love Bone who died about a year prior to this, he was close friends with Cornell and Stone and Jeff were his bandmates, when Wood died they started working on what would later become Pearl Jam, this was their first collaboration with Eddie Vedder after a search for a new vocalist.

@@chb3676 thank you for you're info

[@rex2837]

Loved your reaction there, I can tell when it really gets a hold of you, you’ll say “go ahead and sing it “ or so. And giggle to yourself, it’s a beautiful thing to see. You quick analyses’ are spot on and illuminating. You’re a joy

[@rva]

Thank you 😊

[@lionsbrew]

I always liked how their voices created oblique motion with their arrangement. Eddie keeping a constant with the im going hungryyyyyyyyyy and chris being able to move around in the scale was really fun when it came out in the 90s.

[@twistymcslide2]

Eddie has a very acoustic aspect to his voice on those hum like carries ..

[@wadeup]

The last few statements hit me huge, I'm from the NW, moved to San Diego 8 years ago, I grew up about 150 miles south of Seattle in La Center WA, freshman year high school was 1989, Alice has always been my favorite.. Layne is amazing.. Lived in Seattle for 13 years after college before moving here to SD, Cornell I saw live a few times up there solo, saw Soundgarden at the Gorge, then down here in SD with Nine Inch Nails.. Cornell is a God... Staley is my fav but Cornell is tied.. Cornell.. nobody has that range!! Listen to 4th of July, his double tracks are awesome, and the lyric 'Jesus tries to crack a smile.. underneath another shovel load'.... Cornell is absolutely missed, I wish I could see him again.. Not to make light, seen Pearl Jam down here a time or two and they treat San Diego very well, as they do every stop!

[@scottle6]

Eddie and Chris have this sound that hits you in feels no matter what the tone of the song is...

[@junebugrx7004]

Girl I love your videos. Just found you and am binging now. Your obvious love for the music has me smiling. Great enthusiasm and observations.

[@goochma]

An amazing song by two amazing vocalists. Their voices complimented each other so well. Rebecca your reactions are my favorite on all of KZbin.

[@peteshelby21]

One of my favorite 2 vocalist. We all Miss you Chris.... lol 1:48 Oooo hello Eddie

[@joedelgado8467]

PistolPete yea I say she’s got the hots for Eddie

[@stevecosi]

At 2:42 Vedder's baritone drop clearly transmits the supreme vibration of an ultra dark pinkish green note

[@TruckerTim64]

I love grunge music and they are two of the best I could see you almost just wanted to jump up and start jamming. Like air guitar or something lol you go girl

[@chellel5112]

Love this song! They are amazing together. Chris was so awesome. His vocal technique and range were mind blowing. You crack me up! Yes, they are beautiful men! 😉 Chris was gorgeous.

[@rockalittl]

Eddie's face when he sings just does it for me too. Their voices are just insane and so together it's absolute perfection. Not to mention they are both just too sexy.

[@Bigdaddycaldwell]

Point of note: This was recordered pre Pearl Jam. Eddie was with Mookie Blaylock at the time and a relative nobody. It was released after Pearl Jam blew up.

[@chrisdunlap5482]

I would follow this up by saying it was released and the video debuted on MTV before Pearl Jam's first single was released in 1991. It was re-released and gained new popularity in the summer of '92 after both bands had blown up. But I was absolutely enthralled by both singers when they debuted it on Headbanger's Ball of all places. Also, Mookie Blaylock was just Pearl Jam's first name. They changed it when the signed to their label. Not that you said different, but if I didn't know better, I would think he was in a different band altogether based on the comment.

[@Bigdaddycaldwell]

Chris Dunlap, we’re both close, just read that Eddie was in Seattle to audition for Ament, Gossard, and McCready to be the singer of Mookie Blaylock.

[@kristel3134]

Mookie Blaylock is Pearl Jam :) They just hadn't landed on the name yet.

[@tinaceja4757]

Eddie in shorts and a leather vest perfect. He is still my husband in my head. Chris was so awsome Rip . I Love this song. Good video

[@Brywins08]

Watch their last live performance of this. Its heartwarming.

[@Miss_Christie]

I just found your channel. Not a singer, but a band wife who has complete appreciation for music and all the instruments including our bodies. Your energy, passion, and depth of knowledge is wonderful! Thank You!

[@bsburk]

I love that you love Eddie as much as I do His voice is soooooo...... well, you know!

[@deisteryeti61]

Hello Rebecca. Chris and Eddie together. This brings back memories. So beautyfull...so sad. Have a nice evening, greetings from Hannover.

[@christopherrahilly8425]

Two of the most brilliant artists of our times. I consider myself fortunate to have seen them perform this live. Great choice. Now do Pearl Jam Unplugged for some great vocals. I think you'd love it.

[@robbywhite4291]

That makes 2 of us my friend! Cannot say in words how good live these 2 both are but it was a priviledge seeing it and DEF 2 of the best Male vocalist I've seen in my lifetime and I've seen A LOT of people man! Awesome sauce for sure...

[@BigPete44]

GREAT PICK REBECCA!!! EDDIE VEDDER AND CHRISS CANT GO WRONG!! LOOKING GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL!!! 😉😘😍♥️

[@PHealey1981]

Look up the Wiki regarding Temple of the dog. Chris Cornell inspired group in tribute to his friend Andrew Wood (Mother Love Bone) Such a sadness around all of the history behind these bands. 😢

[@AudioHomicide]

I absolutely LOVE your videos. Not only for your technical breakdowns of singing ability, but your passion, love and appreciation for the art of music. I love to watch your reactions to music that I love. Music is the language of life! Please never stop making these videos. Also I adore this song!

[@scottsather1041]

True art. Settin’ the bar. Changing the world forever.

[@R_SENAL]

The entire Temple Of The Dog album is amazing! Eddie only sings on this one I think, but his Pearl Jam mates play on them. Chris Cornell always knocks it out the park. Wish he was still here. I saw him 2 weeks before his tragic end.... :(

[@nighttempest7163]

Layne, Chris and Eddie's vocals are just...ethereal.

[@theonlyegg]

I've heard this song literally thousands of times and it still gives me goosebumps and ever since Chris passed, a tear or two. Great video Rebecca.

[@kelloneill74]

How satisfying to see someone get someone so much joy out of this video - you listen exactly like I do, picking apart all the small moments and playing them back - your reactions mirror my own and it makes me so happy :)
