Heather, Heather, Heather- such blasphemy! He tends to mumble, but I don't think that's an actual speech impediment- it probably evolved over years of grinding his molars together in angst!
But seriously, there are some times I hear a midwest/chicago accent in his speaking voice, which makes sense since he was born and grew up there for the most part, as I understand it. Like, some of his "O"s are soft where we here in NJ might say ot more as "AW". If you read 5 Against 1, Kim Neely says that Ed's voice is rich and deep and he almost sounds like he's from another time. I just know I love his voice, no matter what.
PS- One of my favorite recordings of his speaking voice is the boot of the 2nd Monkeywrench Radio broadcast, where he goes through the whole "MW, MW, MW, Must We? Mink Wallet, Mundane Wishes..." If you can get a hold of a copy, you'll see what I mean. The sexiest voice EVER. >sigh<

I think we should back off a second. its not eddies fault if he has. i know we are not having a go but if you did as many mushrooms as eddie then you would probably have a speech impedement aswell. vitology must have been a good year for ed. hahahaha

I agree He definately mumbles. i think it's just that he doesn't open his mouth all the way when he speaks but the way he puts words together is amazing! ***daydreaming***
God! I love that man!

This may be something everyone already has talked about...but does Eddie have a speech impediment. I, personally, think so! When I went to my first PJ concert, I asked my bf what country Eddie is from because he seemed to have a foreign accent. Then, when I watch the dvd's I can clearly see that he has some problem with how his mouth moves to form words. Especially when he tries to use "th" at the end of words. I think that's why so many people have their own take on the lyrics of the songs,(besides the fact that Eddie will change them as he feels the desire). Anyway, I just wondered if anyone knows if I'm correct in what I see and hear. I do think he has an amazing voice and I think the speech thing adds to the mystique of the songs. Thanks...Heather
lol, we all have speech impedaments when we drink alcohol. He can speak clearly, when he needs or wants to.
But, as far as hesitating in his speech, I really believe he is just very thoughtful and mindful of what he says, and he chooses his words very carefully, giving each word the same importance as the last.
I agree. The combination of wine and being a very thoughtful speaker.
Not sure, although I agree in all the bootlegs I have he does seem to ponder over words to say during a speech. But hell he may just be a bit nervous. Shit I would be if 10,000 people were listening to everyword I had to say!
well...

Love that bit, so funny
On SVT, where they're talking about the ebow, and he says "its just such a sound", theres a definate curl on "sound".
