Running with the Devil

Pearl Jam destroyed this song.....oh my God....nails on a chalkboard.....
he(Vedder) says "you didn't think I had it in me".......honey, I know he didn't...

I haven't heard it. Is it available on any of Pearl Jams' singles, or what was the circumstance that led them to cover it? Certainly RWTD and Pearl Jam doesn't seem like a match made in heaven.

I'm going to throw this over to the Songs/Albums Forum, see who has heard it over there.

Hate to admit it, but I like the clean tone sounds when PJ plays Running.........

It has kind of a sexy, dreamy quality. Other than that, PJ's version is just mocking the band that we all love.

maybe i'm crazy,
or just too high...

I'm going to speculate that this was before they "hit big"

I like a few Pearl Jam songs....but.....
unlike Van Halen covers.....they (Pearl Jam) didn't do this cover tune justice...just my two cents....

Glenn, I got this off Napster....
I think the sound quality had a lot to do with it, but.....I thought it would be better

Clean tones

That is definitely NOT Eddie Vedder singing that song! I've heard somewhere that it was actually Pearl Jam guitarist Mike Mc Cready, but having never heard him sing anything else, I can't confirm that. I CAN confirm that it is not Eddie Vedder! I have MP3's in which he covers everyone from the Who to Neil Diamond and he never fails to sound exactly like......Eddie Vedder.

Van HALEN is: Dave, Eddie, Mikey, Alex. Any questions?

i do beleive that it is a mad season cover. mad season consists of the lead singer from alice in chains and the guitarists from PJ plus a few others. i read somewhere that it was an outtake when they were recording the album mad season and the guitarist sang it cause the singer was pulling off a cone. have never heard it though....you just got to love rock 'n' roll. i'll see if i can track down the article.
