Have they ever been on stage together? I love Adam, but think he might be borderline crazy :p.

    Not sure if they know each other, but I remember Adam on the cover of Rolling Stone years ago wearing a Pearl Jam t-shirt. So I suppose he's a fan.

    I dunno, it'd be cool to see em together.. I'm fed up of all the Counting Crows hate around here and it'd be good to see some of those fans drop off the radar.

    not sure but they're both Springsteen fans.... here's to hoping for a decent Springsteen tribute someday. w/ the likes of The Arcade Fire, The Killers, The Wallflowers, The Goo Goo Dolls, RHCP (fans of Nebraska), Counting Crows, Tom Morrello, PJ or Ed, Badly Drawn Boy, etc.

    A few years back I heard Adam on Howard Stern, he said Eddie had some beef with him. He said they had hung out a couple of times, got along great & that Ed was very cool. However, after the Crows let one of their songs be used in a Coke commercial, Eddie left Adam a book called "The Evils of Coca-Cola" in his dressing room. I believe both bands were playing a festival in Seattle.

    Not word for word, but this is what I recall.

    Yeah I can believe that, I love Ed but he could be a bit pretentious when he wanted to be. I'm sure someone could've written a book called 'The evils of EPIC records' if they'd tried. Corporation sucks.

    Surely a stupid little incident like that didn't mar his opinion of a great album?

    wonder if Ed has dropped Pete Townsend any not-so-subtle hints for all the shit that Who songs have been used to promote? because if not, then doing that to Duritz would pretty much make Ed a douche. unless of course it was meant as a joke and nothing more.

    hell, you can go down the list of cover songs that PJ has done and look at all the heroes that have allowed their song to be used in commercials....the Who? Rolling Stones? Johnny Cash? AC/DC? that's just the tip of the iceberg. I guess it's ok for an artist who's sold 100+ million albums and doesn't even need money but not ok for an artist who hasn't had a real standout hit in over 10 years.

    Ed's not really in a great place to point fingers (wasn't Yellow Ledbetter in the last episode of Friends?). I think it's hard to keep your hands spotless when you're on a major label.
  • writersuwritersu Posts: 1,867
    yeah, and for the record, I think that a lot of things that may have been ripped on by Eddie when he was younger may not even phase him now; like most of us have grown as well.

    Like I was watching the youtube clip of the famous grammy award speech that caused all the hype and I realized what he meant by the "this doesn't mean a thing" bit. He wasn't dissing the award at all; what he meant was that there were many artists there (as he directly said) and then when he said that, about the not meaning a thing, he meant that in regard to them winning over someone else that didn't mean that they were better.

    The media in any way at all, inspires a lot of bad things that may not even be true.

    I couldn't agree more.

    That isn't quite the same thing.



    But I think it is funny how Eddie bashes everyone who wants to make a dime, but defends his buddy Pete left and right. I personally don't care if artists sell their songs, but don't be a hypocrite.

    The biggest irony would be if the Coca Cola book story is true. Yeah, coke has a long history of horrible employment practices, but Eddie, Mr "go-green. love the environment" doesn't call out the Who for selling "Happy Jack" for a freaking HUMMER commercial.

    “I know that when I heard the Buzzcocks on a Toyota ad, I wasn’t particularly upset. I mean, the initial reaction was shock; at the same time, it’s a good song and I know they haven’t sold a million records. But I feel like maybe a band like the Counting Crows in a Coke commercial, they should know that Coke’s been marketing to children and striking deals with the schools to get pop machines and advertising in the schools. I just wouldn’t want to participate in anything like that.”

    then yeah, Ed's a douche. CC haven't come close to selling the amount of records that the Who, Cash, Dylan, or the Rolling Stones have sold, so where's his condemnation for all the shit that they allowed thier songs to be used for? and since he seems to care so much about children that he doesn't want Coke marketing to them, how does he feel about Pete's "investigations" into kiddie porn?
  • facepollutionfacepollution Posts: 6,834
    Didn't Ed say in a recent interview that he's kind of changed his mind on these things? I'm sure he said he was initially disappointed in a friend's band for allowing one of their songs to be used in a commercial, but when he realised they only did it so one band member could pay for hospital treatment for a relative, it kind of put things into perspective.

    Your heroes always get a pass, as I said earlier.

    And Pete's kiddie porn thing turned out to be nothing. So there's no need to bring that into the discussion.

    Ed is a hero of mine, and I don't give him a pass for stupid things he says and does. if he's going to give his personal heroes a pass, then he should have kept his mouth shut about Duritz. what's that saying: what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

    if Pete Townsend the World Famous Musician were Pete Townsend the Ditch Digger, then that kiddie porn thing wouldn't have disappeared so quietly.
