Eddie Spears? Britney Vedder? Ed Lip Syncs too!!!

It was actually a robot Ed. The real one's been surfin for weeks.

I can't see Ed totally lip synching everything. I can see him playing and singing OVER pre recorded tracks. I think he even admitted doing so at one of the shows...the one where he explained all the equipment he had on stage with him.

I agree with DoTheEvolution I think there is some double CD coming since Ed changed his long standing policy on recording for this tour. I think thats part of the reason for the similar setlists.

I also think that this tour was largely to promote ITW so thats why so much of that album was played every night.
Since this is an ED tour I think thats why there wasn't as many Pearl Jam songs as people might like to see...I can see Ed wanting to step away from PJ and thus shying from playing too many PJ songs. This limits what he can play live.
I undetstand how frustrating it musta been for you to see essentially the same show 3 times but at the same time...the shows were still good right??? Just be glad you were there. I wish I coulda made it out for some.

Ohh well...bring on the East Coast!

Once I wrote a solo album,

10 shows and 40 songs,
but the setlists all the same!
There's a song,
A song I sing,
But I'm lip syncing,
for no good reason!

It sounds better when I sing it to the Tune of Hard Sun, but only redeyes is around for that shit... I guess PM me your phone number if you want to hear!

I've got it! You're the guy from Good Charlotte trying to get back at ED for saying that their music sounds like, sorry, tastes like a popsicle that has been shoved up somebody's ass!

I didn't mind the looping, but if he starts wriggling around the stage in gold spandex I'm out!

I'm sitting here picturing him doing just that. Wow ... just ... wow.

Somebody at the nite one SD pre-party told me they had just talked to you on the phone. Wish you would have been there too.


Oh and this thread sure is interesting. heh


I enjoyed all three shows I saw. Ed's telling stories was the best.

i was this[] close to ed in la for hard sun on nite 2 and he was indeed playing/singing. wasnt paying much attention to liam or EJ but ed was def singing/playing

having the berkely show from this http://fuelfriends.blogspot.com site, hard sun definitely sounds like its looped.

magikev

uh . . no lip snyching. . .SD II, he missed the beginning of the song (wasn't by the mic) and had to run over to the mic to start singing. There was no "When I walk beside." Instead, the song began (muffled) "Whaheefjek .fewjkfewfe . . .I am the better man . . ." You get the point. Same thing happened later. There was DEFINITELY a looped track for the background, but it did not include vocals.

Sorry Mick, I luv ya and all, but after SD2's version of Hard Sun, it was proven he wasnt lip syncing... he started the music on the tape reel and started moving all over the stage, and missed the timing on when to start the first verse and went rushing to the microphone and rushed the 1st lyric to catch up to the timing. That proves right there that you are affected by that mile high air in colorado and are wrong!! Never doubt Ed!!

This is completely ridiculous. Playing with a backing track is not lip-syncing. Ed was singing, and playing guitar over the track. People do it all the time. It has nothing to do with lack of talent or age...more to do with the amount of people on stage. You can't have 3 guitars, bass, drums, and vocals with only 3 people on stage.

Ed made it quite obvious when he was pushing the button to start the song...why would he do that if it was supposed to be some sort of sneaky move?

Jesus, people. Have you EVER been to a concert before?

pjtradeking

Is this REALLY what we have come to on this board??? SERIOUSLY??? Do we even discuss music and such anymore?? I thought you were above this kind of thing, Mick?? WOW!! It is threads like this that make me wonder why I even come here...This is very very sad.......Good thing the good out does the bad here for me.........:eek:

woundedorgan

I had a good time at the show....it is a poor poor fucker who compares Ed to Britney Spears.

Well then your contention is more with tm than Ed. On tm all these shows sold out in minutes. Except for a few diehards on here, who would travel across the country hoping that tix get released at the last second. Your argument that maybe about a dozen or twenty tix got released right before the show started does not mean these shows were an easy ticket to get.

People were walking around basically GIVING tickets away before LA 1 and SD 1.

pjtaper

OK, maybe he was singing a little, but he was NOT singing lead! Also, if you are telling me he played any more than 5 notes during this song, you have probably never played a guitar in your life. I play guitar, I can play MOST PJ songs and many songs off into the wild. It is very easy to tell when someone is faking, usually they strum with chords that are totally wrong, or not even real chords. Ed RARELY touched his guitar during this song, it often was sitting strings up on his lap, with his hands nowhere near it... when the time for the solos came(if you'd call those) solos, he'd grab the guitar and hold it in position, but I WAS VERY VERY CLOSE, and I could see, he was NOT playing the correct notes...
also, he WAS lip synching! get over it, he's still talented as hell, has best voice around, he just didn't have his Pearl Jam buddies to help him do this song live! I can't wait to see the first PJ setlist, they will play Hard Sun, Mike will be taking the solos, hopefully anyone but Jeff will do the backing vocals, and stone will do the rythm, LIVE, in front of our eyes!

As a fellow guitar player who has seen the videos on youtube and has the bootleg---Eddie did not play much of Hard Sun on guitar. He did sing and I think with his electric he saved most of his playing for the later part of the song so he could "tear it up" with the distorted part of the song.

You should realize why the need for the looping track and backup vocals was needed if you play the guitar.

pjtaper

I do realize, he needs PJ to play this song fully with no looping, faking, etc... I just wanted to point out, that he was indeed faking it!
Also, you shouldn't watch those youtube videos, that is against the 10Cs wishes!

Don't worry, I've gave myself 100 lashings for every song I've viewed and for every time I have listened to the bootleg.

So he didn't play the whole thing on guitar. He doesn't in Pearl Jam either. He isn't a guitarist. He's a singer. Thats what he did. Are you accusing him of having his guitar not plugged in or something? I could hear it loud and clear in Berkeley. And he even flubbed lyrics so I know he was singing. You're delusional. Playing along with a backing track is not "faking it".
