    yes you do you know your a LP fan he he he ...

    I'd rather be a musical elitist than have bad taste.

    I hate LP and all but I think Chester sounded better then the Mighty Cornell in that clip.

    Ummm, people....

    Chester was singing Chris's part, and Chris was doing Ed's

    And it was far better when Ed did it with that horrid chick from Sleater Kinney

    i get a kick out of people who rip on other singers who cover any part of ANY song that has to do with either Ed or Pearl Jam

    whats funny is when you ask people about Ed's voice they say it sounds like he is chewing on marbles to anyone other than people on this site...you going to say they have no musical taste either?

    seriously get over yourselves ...pearl jam isnt the only relevant band out there

    this cover wasnt the worst like you guys made it out to be, nor was it the greatest

    ps--sorry about this rant but if it isnt someone ripping on Chester Bennington, its Aaron Lewis, if its not him its someone else

    Amen brother!!!!!

    And I have to agree with what Joe2therevenge said even though I got lots of love for PJ, that was much better than the versions done with Sleater Kinney

    yeah, yeah, everyones got different tastes, lets all hold hands and sing kumbaya, it should be seen as a tribute, blah, blah, blah

    All those artists are terrible, so its shameful to hear them do a song that most of us really like. Is it so wrong to have an opinion these days? Linkin Park and Staind suck, and I hate it when they cover Pearl Jam. And Chris Cornell sucks too now.

    I thought it sounded good.

    BTW. I absolutely despise Lincoln Park. I think every song sounds exactly the same. The one guy try's to rap and the other guy screams. And the douche bag guitar player wears earphones for some reason.

    I just saw LP at Edgefest (as well as STP). I thought they were awesome. How he can scream so hard so much is beyond me, and yet he can still be melodic at times too (sort of like Chris).
    The clip you just posted may not have been an exceptional performance, but it beat the crap out of a lot of other Hunger Strike performances (ahem...Corin Tucker...cough!).

    That guy was far better than Corin Tucker on that particular song. Much more in tune.
