KICK ASS! Kinda.

[FORD]

Sure beats the HELL out of what Vomit Retriever did to the song at the Hall of Lame performance in 2007. Also Eddie Vedder sings it 1000 better than Hagar ever did. Too bad the filmer was so fixated on Vedder that we didn't get to see the guitar solos.

[binnie]

I guess a lot of people will hate that, but I see any cover - good or bad - as flattery and props.

[FORD]

Well, there was a Pearl Jam cover of "Runnin With The Devil" online back in the Napster days that didn't turn out quite as well.

[VAiN]

Not too shabby... I'd love to be at a PJ show where they bust out some VH! If you listen, everyone in the audience is singing every goddamn word! It's beautiful!!

[Matt White]

I just watched this....

VERY good version...& I HATE anybody covering the MIGHTY VAN HALEN....

[Dan]

Amen To That.

[Terry]

Yeah, it's not the worst version I ever heard...but fuck Pearl Jam for doing it just the same

Not bad. I can't decide if Pearl Jam are hypocrites for temporarily abandoning their shoe gazing schlock for real rock or just giving props to a song they all probably dug as kids. I'm not a fan of his voice so I never liked em, Ditto w/ STP.

Shoe gazing schlock? Your ignorance knows no bounds, sir. You obviously have never been to a Pearl Jam concert or listened to any PJ albums.

PJ is the best band out there today. Go see a show; you will not be dissapointed.

[Igosplut]

Yea, but Vedder doesn't sing in that vain, Great voice but not in that style...

I heard they were great when they played here. Didnt do VH in MA though. They covered Neil Young "Rockin in the Free World"

Yes I heard Ten when it came out and I own Vs. Not my cup of tea, that's all. You sir, sound ignorant when making assumptions.

that SUCKED ok?

[Diamondjimi]

Sure beats the HELL out of what Vomit Retriever did to the song at the Hall of Lame performance in 2007. Also Eddie Vedder sings it 1000 better than Hagar ever did.

Agreed. Plus the fact that I hate Vedder almost as much as the Tubster...

Too bad the filmer was so fixated on Vedder that we didn't get to see the guitar solos.

My ears tell me you didn't miss much. The guy solo's at about the same level as William Hung's singing ability...

[Nickdfresh]

Pretty cool...

[lesfunk]

I'm not settling for that

[lesfunk]

for me to poop on!

[Golden AWe]

for me to poop on!

LOL! Shiver me knickers

I have.... (ex- GF wanted to go). Shite!

loved hearing the crowd sing and Vedder seems to dig the shit outta the tune, which is cool in my book

he is looking like he needs to call Jenny soon

[Panamark]

Why do bands attempt to cover arguably Van Halens easiest song to play.
And totally fuck it up...
Ok this is better than the Hall of Fame deal, but still swallows Elephant Blow...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

loved hearing the crowd sing

That's what I was going to mention, the crowd really seemed to enjoy it...

The solo blew goats, though....
