Jeremy by Pearl Jam: Guitar, Bass & Songwriting Insights

"Jeremy" by Pearl Jam was released in 1991 as the third single from their debut album "Ten." The song was inspired by the true story of Jeremy Delle, a high school student who committed suicide in front of his classmates in 1991. The track features powerful vocals from Eddie Vedder and a haunting guitar riff from Mike McCready, making it one of the band's most iconic songs. "Jeremy" peaked at number five on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart and remains a staple in Pearl Jam's live performances.
