permutations of Mr Vedder

if youve been through the entire ARC of their carrer then youve noticed that eddie has gone through a few changes (TEN crazy eddie climbing the rafters and running around the stage like a crazy eddie, VS bloated/shy eddie who almost didnt move the entire performance, hands in pockets (of german army jacket) and face covered by a quasi-fro VITOLOGY clean cut eddie (cleaner cut) etc. etc. etc. (i will spare you a chronology, suffice it to say there have been a few) WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE?? WHICH IS (and this is a different question than the first but may have the same answer) THE QUINTESSENTIAL EDDY (the one people think of upon thinking of PJ)

I like them all. Feels like we grew up together. I've felt all the same things at those times in my life and continue to grow in similar directions. I've never felt that Eddie or the band was ever off the mark at any particular point in my life.

Peace

my personal fave was 93 VS. eddy (german army jacket, bit bloated with freshly croped hair) standing at the mic not moving a muscle the entire show , whilst utter chaos ensued all around him( fans /rest of the band) and blowing the world away with his pipes!!!!! THIS is also IMHO the quintessential eddy

yield era ed... shorter curly hair w/ soul patch... dunno why... just seems to fit him the best... i like the beard too but it just ages him IMO... tho i guess he IS old now so might as well!

i just realized my reasoning was pretty superficial... i like eds vocals the best during no code - yield too

all, yes, but probably when I first got turned onto them around 92. I don't know why, but I just watched the unplugged version of Porch and to see Eddie on the stool, writing on his arm in marker "Pro Choice" made me think of how cool he is (as well as all of the band, which I am sorry I do not mention enough but are genious as well).

I mean any guy who gets fired up about serious things that are important and does it sober, drunk or by themselves when everyone else is being "polite" is really a person with passions.

sorry; long answer.........but there is mine.........

bloated??????wow you are SO forgiving...........

billyshears

my buds used to tease me because they knew i was fucking crazy about pj "hey, you see eddy he cut his hair and he's fat now" so im not the only one who noticed this (albeit slight) definite gain in weight during that time

billyshears

maybe he just had PMS , that was his "very angry" period (yes period.. double entendre is understood)

I think the earliest eddie is the coolest, or at least my favorite. Hes the one I can relate to the most.

Ditto. I was in 10th grade ('92), now a married mom of three, and PJ has been right on my wavelength the whole time. It never ceases to amaze me. I was excitedly describing the feel of a PJ concert/fans to my kids this morning and my daughter said, " I want to be a member of the 'Jamily' too". I can't wait to be able to bring them along (2-3 years)!!! When so much has changed or been left behind, PJ has been my constant- always dependable, always enlightening, always in tune w/me, always where I turn in crisis and triumph...I'm forever indebted to these guys
