I know they don't have Chris Cornell (though it'd be awesome if he made more guest appearances to perform the song) but man they don't need him. Why not just have some random guest sing the other part? Or Stone or Matt? Even better, do it somewhere like MSG, and do a giant singalong where the crowd is Chris Cornell. Stone could help them along if they can't handle it. Imagine a duet of Hunger Strike with the crowd doing all of Chris's parts while Eddie sings his. That'd be amazing.

This is one of my favorite songs by them even if it's not actually a Pearl Jam song, so I wish it'd pop up more. That'd be so much fun live

You're nuts, right? Stone physically couldn't do it; he doesn't have the power and range that Chris has. Matt might be better, but I don't know if he would really work, either. The crowd suggestion sounds even more cringeworthy, but I hear it's not unheard of for Ed to let them sing large portions of several songs, so why not let them do all the leads on one?

I actually think the crowd-singing idea sounds cool.

Maybe Stone/Matt + crowd, if the crowd can't handle it by themselves. Stone doesnt need power since he would just be leading the crowd along to help them. Plus that means the crowd gets to yell the best part of the chorus.

Its just a cool song that I think shouldn't be so ignored

So are a lot of songs that are exclusively Pearl Jam. I'd rather they play their own "cool songs" than Hunger Strike.

They've played Crown of Thorns 57 times out of 1000 shows. I'd hardly say that is over and over and over. And they've done Hunger Strike 28 times, so it isn't like they don't do it ever.

That may be but I feel like recently Crown of Thorns gets played a ton and Hunger Strike not in years

She does a terrible job. Completely off-key during the verses

Holy shit, this is a horrific vocal performance. Why on earth did she sing it so low? If she just belted the hell out of it like I know she could have, it would have sounded great.

They did an OK version of "Harvest Moon".

It would be neat as an experiment, a one off type thing.

Generally speaking, I think crowd-singing gets a lot of undue hate. Seems like a beautiful part of the communal experience of concert-going to me.
