I think that he would rather not have the people that he was referring to at his shows. Why would anyone as passionate as Ed is want someone there that believes in nothing that he believes in ,when he is putting his heart out there on the stage? I think that he feels his causes so deeply that he would rather not take money from those he despises. Tell me I am wrong, but I think that this is why he has such a following..because we can feel it..that he is true to what he sings and says.
Wow...First of all, I didn't realize that we were all on a first name basis with "Ed!?!" Next time you talk to him on the phone, can you tell him just to play Release already. People always ask for it, but i guess because "Ed" is in it for the fans, he always plays what we request. News flash sister, he's in it for the money. Just like everyone else in America.
You can put him up on a pedestal and Idolize him if you want, but eventually you have to face reality. As much as he bashes the capitalistic form of government, he benefits from it more so than the vast majority of Americans. That's why ticket prices are what they are, and why merchandise costs what it costs. Simple supply and demand ethics of capitalism.
Besides, if prices continue to go up, pretty soon the only people that will be able to afford to attend a PJ/"Ed" concert will be those people that he "despises" so much.
I regret getting into this on the "fanviews" page. I would like to continue this conversation with you though..and will on the "Walked out of the DC show" thread.
This is taken from the fanviews page.
If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this
As much as I love this band and the talent of Eddie Vedder, i still realize that Ed is one if the biggest Tools and dipshits on earth. Shut up and sing.
wow. ridiculous
so nobody else notices a contradiction here???? This guy speaks his opinion and gets chastised, but the almighty Eddie Vedder tells people to kill themselves(joking or not) and that's a completely acceptable opinion?!?!
I never said that I was on a first name basis with him. I do not believe that I implied it. I wrote "I think" many times, which was meant to show that it is my opinion. I do not see people writing "Mr. Vedder" on here. By writing "Ed" , it is not to show ownership or any fucked up thing like that..it is because it is a "Pearl Jam site" and that is the name of their singer. Regardless of that..I stand by what I said. I am a nurse and I am caring to my patients, I try to give them a good experience and make them comfortable" Of course I do it for the money, too. But, if they are appreciative of what I do and feel a connection with me, then I am doing a good job...I am staying true to myself. I am not going to say "Oh, give me less money, because I do not want people to think that I really don"t care" That would be ridiculous.
This is the same with Mr. Vedder..I believe that he is true to himself..I am sure of it. After 18 years of Pearl Jam being my favorite band..I do feel that I know him to an extent...not in a personal sense....don"t get me wrong, but you can get a feeling about a person from their words, and from the shows, and from the interviews and from hearing their lyrics and their poetry. I do not think that a person could put so much emotion and truth into their work as he does and not feel passionate about it. It is NOT all about the money.
If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this
I am not left or right. I go to a concert to hear the tunes and nothing more. Sing the freaking songs, tickets are a $100 a piece, sing!!
I don't care what the band's political views are.
With that said I will keep buying their music and will keep going to their shows but sometimes I really get tired of Eddie talking, he just sounds silly most of the time. I swear in Cleveland 2006 he went on about a dream he had about the moon exploding! Sing don't talk!!
Yeah I'm with ya on this. I'm all for "This song is about..." or "The last time we played here..." type of speeches but his opinion speeches are moronic. And while I didn't get bent out of shape about Ed's "kill yourself" line last night, I totally understand why maybe some people did. Of the 25,000 people there, I'm sure there was at least one person who is depressed, has contemplated suicide at one time or another, was trying to take his/her mind of their problems with a concert....and didn't take kindly to hearing the words "kill yourself" coming from the Eddie.....no matter what the context.
Yes! Thank You! Definitely insensitive to bring up suicide, but the Constitution reigns supreme. Period. Ed has said some things over the years that have pissed me off as well.
"FF, I've heard the droning about the Sawx being the baby dolls. Yeah, I get it, you guys invented baseball and suffered forever. I get it." -JearlPam0925
cry........anyone who leaves a pearl jam show early has rocks in there head.
u don t have to agree with everything they do or say......listen to the music
see he even took it back later in the show.........and u were gone crying
what kind of response u looking for? u are stupid for leaving period
opinions are like assholes everybody has one...deal with it
I hope he never feels like he has to really watch what he says..I hope nobody does. It would be artistic death to have to try so hard to make everyone happy by censoring your feelings and thoughts completely.
If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this
I guess I'm a bit confused. Eddie has the right to say and do whatever he likes, but the OP(and those who agree) don't have the right to disagree and leave the show? Freedom of speech goes for everyone, not just Eddie and the guys. While I have lost my best friend to suicide, I wasn't at the show and refuse to speak to what he said. All I can say is that most times by the end of the first set, he's atleast on his way to being drunk. You have to take the things he says at that point with a grain of salt, and realize that if sober he'd word them better.

Everyone agrees with me! They just don't want to admit it.
Actually, I'm sure lots of people disagree with you. I definitely disagree. Also, Ed seems to be knowledgeable when he speaks on political issues. Whether you agree or disagree with his statements is another story.
Yep, I disagree as well. If what he said offends you, you might be better off never listening to music or watching television again. It's all over the world, people say shit, that's life, that's America. To bad your tic got waisted, I'm sure somebody out there would of loved the experience.

Yep, except even that has limits. Try to speak your mind at work (assuming you're not self employed) and see where that gets you.
Something to ponder...just because you can doesn't necessarily mean you should. Politics and religion are two topic sure to rub at least half of the people the wrong way. Don't be surprised by this.
If what he said offends you, you might be better off never listening to music or watching television again.
No, the OP shouldn't stop listening to music or watching TV. If an episode of South Park is offending her, she should turn it off. But that doesn't mean she should never watch South Park again. The same thing goes for last night's show. She was offended by Ed's comments...so she left. Does that mean she should never listen to Pearl Jam again? Of course not.
If you walked out, then your an idiot that doesn't deserve to be there in the first place.

something to ponder: I find that it is pretty much accepted in society for people to talk about how much they love god and what "he" has done for them, and to pray openly and to try to get other people on board with their ideas...but not ok in society to go against the grain and say that I do not believe in god at all..I think it is fictitious, absurd, and the root of many evils...
I bet that pisses some people off. But, proves that freedom of speech is subjective to a persons own beliefs. People are always open to freedom of speech as long as it reflects their idea of it. I am so sick of having to feel like I should keep quiet about what I believe in. It is the people that do not keep quiet and make waves that create change in this world.

I was wondering if anyone else at the DC show was upset with EV comments that lobbyist for financial institutions should "kill themselves"? I thought it was an awful thing to say. It totally sucked the life right out of the show for me. I understand that Eddie had the right to speak his mind, but I thought that comment was so crass and ignorant and it really upset me. When they started "The Fixer" I couldn't even move I was so stunned and upset and I looked at my brother and we both said "let's leave". And there were quite a few people leaving when we were (just before the first encore).
I certainly don't look to the band to be my moral compass, but to marginalize someone's life and suicide I think is irresponsible. After 13 years in the fan clubs and almost 20 shows I can't say I am excited about seeing them again.
I was wondering if anyone else felt the same way.

It's just so EV to take a dump on the lobbyists because he was so close to DC. Personally I thought it was funny. But I'm not a lobbyist.
If you were that upset by his comment I would say drop PJ like a hot potato because if you don't like the lead singer, your pretty screwed.

I personally don't agree with the attacks on the OP.
While I can't say that I agree or disagree with the OP's beliefs, I respect the fact that they have enough conviction to walk out of a show. If more people stood up for what they believed in, I think the world would be a better place.
Maybe it would have been better if he said..."I wish I was a lobbyist so I could help the institutions rob the peons of the world FUCK ALL YOU PEOPLE I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OF YOU ASSHOLES!

I agree with Honest Abe Ed is lucky to be in the position that he is in and takes advantage of his stage powers far to often. For example his comments in Columbus last week regarding the national day of prayer. Sometimes he should do his job and save the opinions for another time.

no offense, but....
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT. Get a fucking grip. This is easily the most idiotic reason I have ever heard for "leaving" a show. Your wife goes into labor? Sure. Your father got stabbed 128 times? Absolutely. Ed speaks his mind and you take it so literally that it hurts your adolescent feelings? You should be booted from the 10C and all Pearl Jam shows for eternity.
P.S. I say "I'm gonna kill myself" all the time. I don't really mean it. It's a joke. It means I'm discontent with something. Ed is too... and he didn't really mean it either.... I guarantee it.

He said you greedy fucking pig ripping off the people go fucking hang from a rope you fuck.
You have to learn to better understand Ed.
See you left for nothing.
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me

no offense, but....
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT. Get a fucking grip. This is easily the most idiotic reason I have ever heard for "leaving" a show. Your wife goes into labor? Sure. Your father got stabbed 128 times? Absolutely. Ed speaks his mind and you take it so literally that it hurts your adolescent feelings? You should be booted from the 10C and all Pearl Jam shows for eternity.
P.S. I say "I'm gonna kill myself" all the time. I don't really mean it. It's a joke. It means I'm discontent with something. Ed is too... and he didn't really mean it either.... I guarantee it.
