I originally spoke with Eddie in October 1993 over the telephone.
If you're able to listen to the Rockline interview from back then,
you'll see that he gave out his home telephone number because he
was buzzed and didn't realize the radio show was over. After about an hour,
I called his house and he answered. I spoke with him for about 10 minutes.
Most of the conversation was of a humorous note. He talked about the thickness
of a rhino's skin and about the Church of Latter Day Saints. At the end of our converstaion,
he said we were friends and he'd talk to me again.
I remember this!!! My friend came to work and goes Eddie Vedder gave out his phone number so people can call him.
I'm like yeah right.
He said no really I got the phone number. I'm like give me the number I gotta ask him something.
Then he says I think their getting ready to shut it down cause he getting too many calls.
Of course I call and I get "We're sorry the number you have dialed is no longer in service.
MOther F$%@er
For an $81 ticket, as a consumer, I would expect
to see a better opening act than Ted Leo. It's obvious that one band is making a boatload
of cash and the other is just along for the ride. I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm only saying that I'm
surprised and disappointed because I expected more from the best band in the world.
I, for one, agree with you 110%. I thought Ted Leo was awful. Worst opening band I've ever seen. I think sometimes people forget the purpose of an opening act. It's to warm up the crowd. Not for the crown to warm up the opening act. And in this regard, Ted Leo fails miserably. And the ticket price does include admission to the opening band, so I don't think it's too much to ask if want want an opening band that actually entertains us.
So just outta curiosity, you bought this through the 10C? you had a friend pick it up? Or did you buy it at the show?
You flippin' that poster so that you ca afford the inflated tkt prices? :?
Wow...that was totally uncalled for and I thought it was directed towards Kat. *shakes head*
I have several great friends there and like I said earlier, good thing it wasn't done in person cuz I'd have slapped him.... harder now that I know who he was referring to. :P
But now that's over and Kat took care of it by locking the thread... and this poster's apology is a moot now.
I put him in the same category as Snoopy Died For Our SIns.... but everyone would disagree with me because everyone told me he was the nicest person you could ever met... reallly?

I know I'm in the minority here but it never seemed to me that ticket prices are all that over the top. I know $100 (CDN) is not a small amount, but for what you get and compared to others? I know that just because some bands really screw it to the fans that doesn't make charging less but still too much right, but how often are you seeing the band in concert? For most of us, probably once or twice every few years if your lucky. So for me, I don't have a problem spending $100 bucks for a night with my favorite band. They reward the fans with a better show than anyone else out there. I don't have a fabulous, great paying job and it isn't breaking my bank. It'd be nice if every ticket was $30 or $40 but really it's not possible. I don't mean to step on anyone's toes here, just my opinion on the matter.
Your friends with Eddie Vedder my ass. Your friends with the guy but you can't get good tickets to a pearl jam concert yea O.K. Last night I had dinner with Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson......
I cant stop smiling!!!! this is just keeps getting better...1st the slur ,then the half assed apology, now an over priced poster on ebay....Whats next ? I await the next installment of this cheesy sitcom...

Don't forget Iammine got to bring back snoopydiedforoursins and his eBay ways. :shock: :P
First, let me apologize for my rude behavior to Kat
and the rest of the fans.
I'd like to set the record straight...
For what it's worth, I digress.
I'm sorry to those who I offended, it's a mistake for which I wish I hadn't made.
Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong. People say 100x worse shit on this board than you did. There's nothing wrong with questioning the direction of the band.

THAT is not what he is apologizing about. It was something much worse.

Ohhhhhhh, okay. I guess I should have read the thread more closely, (I'm skimming it at work).

Don't forget the alleged scalping charge to add to his rap sheet. Unfortunately most transactions are old enough that we can't see detail, but I wouldn't be surprised to see higher than face value prices based on his actions of the past few days. Maybe that's why he's pissed at higher ticket prices and the quality of opening acts.... it's dipping into his profit margin.

If he was, he wouldn't have sold his LA tickets for $200 dollars instead of to somebody from here for face value: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pearl-Jam-Tickets-1 ... 911.c0.m14
Yeah... I'm sure he's the nicest person you've ever met.
