    I say throw more instruments. Guitars, microphones, Matt could throw some drums, Boom could roll is B3 off the side of the stage. 
    I want one of those mysterious 360 degree spherical cameras that seem to pop up every now and again behind the amps. Also, those big ball lights/lighted stage balls that some in the band seem to dislike. I'm sure I could get it to fit in my rented smartcar. Or just put it on the roof and hold it while driving...but while still looking classy
    I fully endorse this!! Hell, I'll help you hold that fucker on the roof from the passenger side (I've got orangutan arms). Later I'll help you rig it up and light your world with it.

    It’s time for Ed to stop the tambourine throwing for three reasons. 
    1. The “rail hounds” are only there for that reason.
    2. It affects his performance, running about the stage at his age.
    3. He throws that many that they are not special anymore (he must have thrown at least 20 in Prague).
    Get back to the days of standing in front of the mike singing. In Prague he looked tired trying to run along the rail affecting his performance 
    Pre 2006 tour he would throw a tambourine in that he had been using, not one of the mass produced tat that comes on tour.meaning that was a special gift for the recipient.
    I want the moody Ed back.

    The "at his age" comment is hitting me poorly. There are so many boxes that society would like to put us in; Girls wear pink, boys play with trucks, women can't be scientists, men don't cry, you are too old to wear trendy clothing, you are too fluffy to have a crop top, boys shouldn't play with dolls. As long as running around brings him joy, that's all that really matters.

    If the tambourines weren't still special, the "rail hounds" wouldn't work so hard to get there. I doubt that one can say for certainty that that is why they are all there. Sure, they would be ecstatic to get a gift from the band, but there is nothing quite like being up so close that you can see a performer look in your eyes and give you a little nod, being so close that you can see the individual beads of sweat, or being able to closely watch their hands dance on their instruments.

    How the band and their team choose to appreciate the support given to them, is really not up to us. We don't have ownership of it.

    They should all pull trump masks out of their sweaty ballpits and huck em at the audience instead of tambourines.  It would kill 2 birds with one stone- take care of the political needs they have, and teach the the folks lining up to catch a freebourine that they got a sweaty ballmask instead.

    Mike should stop throwing those guitar picks as well. He's going to take an eye out.

    I too would support getting rid of the tambourines.  I would love to see Ed switch to the saxophone.  Launch those suckers ten rows deep.  They just need a saxophone song.  One day.

    Please Ed, stand there lifeless. Don't move from right in front of your mic.  While you are at it, please sing the exact same setlist each night.  Please, phone it in every night. :weary:

    Are you talking about people who own tambourines  in general or those of us who have gotten one from Ed (no children were used in catching mine)

    He should switch to the triangle and throw those into the crowd or better yet play bugs then throw the accordion

    This is said with playfulness and not aggression.

    Your comment about acrobatics made me giggle. It brought to mind the idea of Ed putting on a show like Pink does.

    If he ever wants to do that, I have a single, adjustable trapeze rig he could borrow (since my disorder is currently preventing me from using it).

    He can throw as many tambourines he wants. Fans that sit on their hands the whole show then start jumping around and screaming to get his attention really annoy me for some reason though.

    Or maybe Ed could reciprocate and say “I love you, too” back to her. It would make I Got Shit less painful for her.

    Proper eye protection should be worn at all times.
