By the way, Ed stopping was awesome

One of the reasons I LOVE this band, they care for the fans. Ed watching the crowd, stops the song because he sees something going on...that is amazing.

For me, this crystallizes why we follow the band and are as devoted as we are...they are good people.

    Yeah what was that fucker doing? They played with some serious rage after that, although their timing was goofed in mym- rhythm section ahead of Mike.

    Sounds like a girl passed out, guy pulls her to the rail, bumps another guy who goes apeshit and Ed calls it out. Best I can surmise from all the posts.

    Bartman reference was uncalled for..he changed his tone quickly when the crowd didnt really react or he sensed they didnt appreciate it

    Seriously, that was pretty messed up. You have to be completely tonedeaf at this point to still talk about poor Steve.

    Agreed, that was in poor taste on a couple of different levels, but most notable that he made any connection between a man who was supposedly mistreating a woman and Bartman..wtf?

    He said the guy got booed like Bartman. That was the only comparison.
  • Wma31394Wma31394 Posts: 3,045
    Yea only name dropped him but 90% of chicagoans feel so bad for steve. Glad the crowd reacted like they did...non issue really.

    Brought him up in the worst possible context basically. It was a mistake, fine... but seriously, aside from the terrible poor taste of the timing, why is Eddie still talking about Bartman like it's a joke? Surely he knows that Bartman's life was very sadly and unfairly ruined by the whole thing. It's not funny.

    Some Cubs fans think Bartman was the reason they lost(not true, the team choked) and apparently Ed is one of those, still bitter, fans.

    At first i was thinking ed was just looking for a reason to bring up bartman..but after some thought i think it was just a spontaneous epic fail i bet he wishes never happened.

    Yeah, I think anyone who still thinks that is being cruel.

    Doesn't matter. Love Eddie, but yeah, that was indeed an epic fail.

    What would have been "epic" is if bartman is a fan and they negotiated his return to wrigley. They could have orchistrated a standing ovation. I think the crowd would have given it to him with a quick prelude saying its time to apologise to steve.

    As a non Cubs fan (not a hater either) it was a non issue for me. I forgot about the Bartman reference until I saw this thread today.

    What would have been "epic" would be if the guy that got called out WAS bartman .....

    Look, I get the whole Bartman thing, I do. Judging from the scope' video I saw last night, this guy who got kicked out was out of control and not to mention someone passing out in the pit. Pretty serious shit.

    Agreed..so the woman passed out? All i caught was the guy was pointing in her face or someone elses.

    A girl passed out, another was trying to get her to the rail and bumped into this guy, who proceeded to lose his shit and get unruly.

    Completely awesome of Ed for stopping the show for this!

    PS I thought the Bartman commebt was uncalled for and very un-Eddie-like. Anyways, this statement was the only mistep of the night IMO

    How embarrassing that grown ass people who I assume the average age in mid to late 30's act like complete Evenbro jackasses...I saw this on the scope last night and when you have to get scolded by the lead singer of a band that's pretty embarassing

    Ha .. the second they escorted the guy out, I turn to the dude next to me and say, "It's like he's fuckin' Bartman." Sure enough, Ed made the same joke at the encore break.

    What the fuck is wrong with you and ed??!! Just kidding..

    So what did this guy do? Get physical or point in her face? Has anyone posted that was there?
