    imo no, but I would love it, I just don't know how he could pull it off, what would he do in the long pauses?

    I think... No. Black requires a certain atmosphere, and I dont think a "sit down" event like Ed solo, will have that. Doubt Ed would do it... but who knows.

    No.

    Because it's not his song. I don't believe he's ever played a PJ song solo that he didn't write the music for, and he probably never will. Plus he doesn't even play on it.

    So no.

    If I can play it for my friends on my acoustic....Eddie can. :) But I agree with the poster that said he won't play it because he didn't write it.

    I would like to see that.
    I think Black could be pulled of acoustically with Mike backing up, but not with Eddie playing.

    It's a lot easier then you think it is. Just some basic chords and strumming....you'd forget all about the soloing with Ed's vocals....wouldn't even think twice about em. I don't have any video's on youtube but if you look up Black cover....you'll see a ton of people pulling it off.

    If Aaron Lewis can do a solo, acoustic version of "Black" then I think Eddie could as well.

    He could do it easily. I saw him twice in the Bay Area...and he is very skilled at improvising with his quick rhythum hand. For instance...I am Mine is lacking nothing... except a blistering Mike solo...even then it's hardly missed.

    The only problem is...Ed only has been doing Pearl Jam songs that he wrote both the music and lyrics.

    I don't think it will happen.
