After the Columbine High School massacre in 1999 , MTV and VH1 rarely aired the video , and mention of it was omitted in retro-documentaries such as '' I Love the '90s '' . It is still available on the internet , on websites such as YouTube . It can also occasionally be seen playing at Hard Rock Cafe locations . The video occasionally airs on MTV Classic . The video was included in MuchMusic 's list of the 12 most controversial videos . The reason was because of the topic of suicide , and recent school shootings . The scene of Jeremy with the gun in his mouth was not shown . It was also included on VH1 's countdown of the " 100 Greatest Songs of the '90s " at number 11 , with several clips of the video shown , including part of the ending . The uncensored version of the video was shown as part of the retrospective " Pearl Jam '' Ten '' Revisited " on VH1 Classic in 2009 prior to the album 's re-release , including the shot in which Jeremy puts the gun in his mouth
