JEREMY

vito · March 2016

Was, is and will always be a great rock song! C'mon even for all of us that have lived with it for 25 years now and maybe got tired of it, it doesn't mean it's still not a great song. It has everything! A great intro, great chorus, and a suspenseful, tension filled ending. Stop with all the nonsense that it's overplayed and whatever cause you know you loved it the first time you heard it and just cause it's 25 years later doesn't mean it's still not amazing!!

Vito spoke in class today. Great song for sure.

Well said.

SmallestOceans · March 2016

Who ever said it wasn't a great song??

TJ25487 · March 2016

The song gets marginal love around here but I think its a groundbreaking song as it has one of the worlds sickest base lines as its backbone and you may never hear Ed sing so intently. I consider their live performance on the MTV awards show as one of the greatest live performances of any song by anybody anywhere.

I have been guilty of hating on some of the classics being "over played" but I think there comes a time that if someone has grown weary of hearing the hits perhaps they should sit out a tour or two. Granted we all want to hear those rarely played gems like Hold On, Hard To Imagine, Strangest Tribe, etc. but Geezus aren't Jeremy, Alive, Even Flow, and perhaps even Better Man the songs that brought most of us here in the first place? Yieldwaukie and No Code Moline were magic and I wish I had been to those shows but that Lost Dogs in its entirety show is NEVER gonna happen... So either embrace the classics or maybe try what I try to do...?people watch and enjoy seeing others who haven't seen the band 30 to 200 times just completely lose their shit over them. You may find that someone else's joy is contagious!! :-)

Yuppers.
Like during hallelujah. Turn your head and look at the crowd. Amazing.
During Alive just look around the stadium and watch the ya, ya, fists in motion.
Too many to count. Just watch the people sometimes.

I was at Moline and it was a night I will never forget and it wasn't just because we got to here No Code in it's entirety but, also because they played a sick, sick version of Jeremy! Look I love hearing HTI, Wash, I Got ID, Sad etc...but, the reason why I love this band is cause of songs like Jeremy! It was a paralyzing, disturbing 5:18 of music then and it still is now. With that being said can they start playing Immortality more!!

Stickman12 · March 2016

I can say that about all their songs from back in the day.

TJ25487 · March 2016

I remember the MTV cameras flashing to the crowd after the performance and a lot of people including curt and Courtney had stunned looks on their faces like "what the fuck did we just witness?"

FoxyRedLa · March 2016

seen a little

eyes! Lmao and Stone running laps!

- lol I forgot.

pjalive21 · March 2016

great you guys got me going all nostalgic..watching unplugged after watching that video

KC2917 · March 2016

I'm glad I just watched that. Fuck these guys are good!

vito · March 2016

Yep, sounds as fresh today as it did 25 years ago.

Corey666 · March 2016

Named my son Jeremy because of that song

can't hate the song!!

Zod · March 2016

I really like this song. They don't seem to play it all the time.. I've maybe heard it 4 or 5 times live. I get pretty stoked everytime the play it. It's not like Even Flow where I've seen it at almost every show.. Jeremy's never been overplayed to point where I wouldn't like it anymore.

red mos · March 2016

I've gotten it 5 of 6 shows. I don't mind it.

This^^^ plus the fact it's absolutely a way better song then Even Flow!

Lifted · March 2016

Jeremy doesnt have a chorus, but yeah, great song. Jeff Ament's finest moment.

rummy · March 2016

Hoping for it in Toronto. Haven't heard it live in many years.

SVRDhand13 · March 2016

This gets stuck in my head ALL THE TIME:

Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little F

At home
Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V

Dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy

Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth

And bit the recessed lady's breast
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting

Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection

And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Try to forget this,
Try to erase this,
From the blackboard

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in
spoke in
Jeremy spoke in
spoke in
Jeremy spoke in class today

So maybe not in the traditional sense it doesn't have a chorus but, the 'Jeremy spoke in class today' is repeated over and over like a chorus!
