Corin Tucker is one of my favorite vocalists ever! But, she is flat for most of the song. Sleater-kinney never did a stadium tour until they opened for Pearl Jam, so I could understand how being in a venue that large with an anonymous audience who were not necessarily receptive to S-K could affect her performance. Also the dynamic of S-K sharing vocals and interlocking guitars subverts the notion of a front-woman, Corin receiving all the focus of an audience and being out there without her bass-tuned guitar must have been a very vulnerable position. She really hit those notes at the very end, it must have been that period of touring after One Beat was released because of the obvious influence of the blues! Still a powerful performance by mutually supportive Northwest musicians. This tour would inspire the loud experimental The Woods as a response to the challenge of attracting a new audience and occupying such a huge stage.
Sobra decir el que en lo personal, no tuve la oportunidad de asistir a esa memorable presentación de Pearl Jam; pero lo que sí puedo decir es que cada vez que tengo la oportunidad de ver esta presentación en estos canales, es como si hubiera estado ahí; y la verdad es algo que nunca voy a olvidar. Es algo que nunca se Deja de disfrutar.
she did VERY well, especially considering the fact that-- in operatic terms-- she is a spinto/dramatic soprano. so yeah, she was singing a bit out of her range, especially in the beginning, but even then, she has a POWERFUL mastery over her own voice. i've actually had a few music teachers who have called Corin's voice a "female version" of Eddie Vedder's-- not knowing that the two even know one another.
This song is one of those songs that kinda changed the world for me when I first heard it. There havent been a whole lot of live versions that eclipse the album version, and it's hard to imagine this song without Chris, but this version of perfect. Corin Tucker is a fucking incredible vocalist.
Corin has one of the best spine tingling yowls Ive ever heard when she kicks off. When I first heard SK I was 'meh' but like all the best things in life stick with them, get to know them, read about them, know where they came from and holy fuk. The 90s stuff is gold. Like Carrie said in her book they are awful as background music. It's personal. It is worth it. Check Pitchfork festival 2015 concert.
Corin did great! You can see she was nervous at first....but near the end of it when she got her confidence she rocked it out! They both have a such a vibrato, I was always curious to what they would sound like together. Neat find!
That was FABULOUS! Beginning was a little shaky, but she killed those screams! I scream them in my shower and i could never 😅 love Corin, Sleater-Kinney and Pearl Jam. Im from Olympia its in my blood lol
Also, if you're one of those idiots who is like, really insulted that this happened, just remember that Chris Cornell performed this song with Linkin Park once...
> I'm surprised she didn't sing in a higher pitch like > Cornell... But she did. She's singing the same parts Cornell did. That pitch is very high for a man, but not for a woman, at least not until the "banshee" parts in the final verse. Ironically, she sounds better there than on the second verse, where the male vocals are hard for her. But as with anything else Corin Tucker does, passion trumps technical perfection.
Oh my god.... how can i get this in audio? Also, how canI find Vedder’s version of Modern Girl (audio). I’m so old school... I guess i want to put them on a playlist and listen and share, pretend it’s a mixtape
Corin Tucker usually sings much, much higher. Eddie Vedder's baritone range has got to be an extremely difficult register for her (or any woman) to sing. She also seems a bit uncomfortable without her guitar.
sucrannumber2 stop dissing women in rock music corin tucker rocks and your probably really sexist with your music thinking how dare pearl jam be such big fans of an all girl rock band..
Hey listen, I have no horse in this race. Not a huge PJ/Vedder or SK fan. BUT, I do enjoy music of many kinds, and really liked the song Hunger Strike back in the day. This chick butchered it. No, make that gutted it and then stepped on it's still beating heart. Really awful job, and I bet Vedder didn't let her do it many more times...
This song should not be a duet. Chris ruined it, Corin ruined it. Honestly that high part could be sung by any decent backup singer or none at all and this song would be amazing.
