Are you kidding me? Did you get start struck? If that was the case I understand but shit son ask SOMETHING other than "Can you play Small Town" (This is all tongue and cheek..)

Now onto the real question..the question of the day...

If Ed called on you to ask a question to him...what would it be?

PS...to the guy who asked about YL...kudos my friend...kudos

    what,was Ed doing a Q & A @ the show?
  • petrocspetrocs Posts: 4,342
    yeah and Ed asked this guy in a white hat if he had a question and the guy said, "I love your music" and Ed said "Thats not a question thats a comment" and then the guy asked if he could request a song and Ed said "Apparently I picked the wrong guy" or something like that

    The guy didn't even ask for Small Town. Ed said later that it was dedicated to that guy, even though it wasn't the song he requested.

    How does it really feel (to YOU) when you look out at the audience (a good one) and see that they are singing along and truly in the moment? Can you even put it into words?

    I have always thought that would be the coolest feeling, to have a group of people seem to understand you and to want to. Not in a narcissistic, vain kind of way, but more of a "feeling the love" kind of way.

    Take care,
    I still want you all to "take care"--I am just damn tired of typing it.

    I'd love to ask Ed a question regarding fatherhood...wonder if he would answer or be offended?

    Or I'd ask him what he thought of the Cincy 2006 show to shut some people up on this board. ;)

    dude, he had no idea that was coming...ed just pointed to the guy in the white hat and asked him to ask a question...

    the guy who asked for YL lyrics (great question btw) at least had some time to think about it.

    i bet a lot of people would've had NO clue what to say to that...it was totally out of the blue.

    I can think of a bunch of questions that I'd want to ask, but I can understand how star-struck you'd be just sitting there and having Ed unexpectedly ask you a question.
    i kept saying to my friend that i would have reacted the same way. seriously, who goes into a show thinking, "i wonder what i should ask if ed stops the show, points to me, and asks for a question?" :D

    From MattP:

    "Well I guess I have to defend myself. I finally got to go to a show with my wife and we had 3rd tier tickets. My wife and I were sitting having a glass of wine and this gentlemen from the venue came up to us and said that he gets to play Santa Claus. He asked for our tickets and gave us 1st row dead center. I wanted to thank Eddie and the gentlemen for the tickets.

    I was the oaf with the white hat on selected for the Q & A. Well, it isn't everyday that you are sitting at a show and out of nowhere the artist says "The gentlemen in the white hat, do you have a question for me". I was a little blind-sides to say the least. All I could come up with was to tell him that my wife and I really enjoy MOTH and to thank him for the music.

    If I had the moment again, I would probably ask him how his life and views have changed since becoming a father since my wife and I are relatively new parents as well.

    I apologize for the delay of my response........BTW, the request(even though I new there was no chance he would play it) was In My Tree

    It was a great night......one my wife and I will not forgot!!!"


    I get you loud and clear my man...We couldnt hear in the 3rd tier what you requested...and you got....Small Town...wow...weird trade off for In My Tree..thanks for clearing that up...next time you'll always have that "just in case im asked question" LOL

    I wasn't star struck at the time.....just like WTF, are you talking to me?

    If I would have had a minute I would have asked him about fatherhood....I should have stood up and asked 3500 people for a moment to think! : 0 )
