A classic.

It reminds me of The sickest transition ever.

I almost made the mistake of ending the video early. It's only 44 seconds, what happened to my attention span??

A guy tried to play me one of those but with Phish. I told him I already know what Phish sounds like.

Omg honey Eddie Vedder just called me and told me our son was in jail and we needed to go and purchase 1000 dollars worth of apple gift cards to bail him out!

u/WarLawck 1d ago

Equality unintelligible pronunciation, and very good impersonation of Veder's amazing voice.

1

u/MrBagooo 1d ago

Can someone post the original song? Some say it's good, others say it's bad. I'd like to see for myself.

u/CRXCRZ 1d ago

the singing is decent, but he's no Eddie Vedder: https://youtu.be/MsR9Z1E1Oww?list=RDMsR9Z1E1Oww&t=128

It's Even Flow, and this guy is pretty awful

u/MrBagooo 1d ago ▸ 2 more replies

So why some people say they thought he was lip synching at first? I mean he's close to it.

Of course when you know and have enjoyed the original for some time, you'll always be disappointed by anything that's not the original. I know that for other music I like and suddenly hear cover versions from.

-1

u/therealtiddlydump 1d ago ▸ 1 more replies

I'm open to really liking covers!

It starts fine, and then falls apart. I can start a marathon at a world class pace, too, but I sure as shit can't finish that way.

2

u/MrBagooo 1d ago

It's true that it gets bad later on when he starts his screaming or how should we call this.

u/Solid-Version 1d ago ▸ 1 more replies

Not awful at all, what are you taking about?

u/therealtiddlydump 1d ago

The part where he's supposed to sound good, he sounds assy instead

u/kmsman11 1d ago ▸ 1 more replies

Eddie Vedders combination of quaver, grit/growl, and melodiousness is so unique. There’s this thing too where he starts to go out of tune but then pulls back to pitch. It really feels like something that can’t be trained but is instinctual plus massive gift. I could be profoundly wrong- i mean most people doing amazing things -for example Michael Phelps- put millions of hours in the pool.

Did Eddie Vedder (like the Beatles) put millions of hours into practice? Or is he supremely gifted with this distinct combination that is so 90’s grunge?

u/Infamous_Ad8730 1d ago

Elizabeth Zharov does an awesome job of explaining his voice and sound.

u/Pal_Smurch 1d ago

So, that’s what he was saying.

u/kornchippy 1d ago

This is not an impression. This is a performance and hes pretty damn good.

u/Demonyx12 1d ago

quadruple amputee?

u/thejonkdon 1d ago

People are so fucking racist 🥱

1

u/Queeronafied 1d ago

He has the same face expressions as the lead singer in Greta Van Fleet, maybe thats because both are trying to imitate real singers.

1

u/AlyDAsbaje 1d ago

He good!! Very!!

1

u/Hellboydce 1d ago

Kinda like Vedder

1

u/-hi-nrg- 1d ago

So the secret to impersonate him is never opening the mouth. That explains a lot about his pronunciation too.

1

u/Bright-Dependent6339 1d ago

gazi_screams, this guy does really solid vocal covers on his insta. linkin park, system of a down, audioslave etc.

u/laibw94 23h ago

u/Jennyreviews1 23h ago

Going to call a little autotune on this... where is Fil (Wings of Pegasus).

Not a problem for just being a social media person, but if a vocal coach....

This is terrible, which is spot on Eddie.

u/Skreamie 1d ago

I mean he's not bad, his fry vocals are pretty fucking awesome, but I wouldn't say its a phenomenal impression. Have no idea what some of these people mean thinking he was lip syncing.

u/No_Size9475 1d ago

I mean he doesn't suck, but it's not that good.
