  • I love Eddie.

    Now- I hate smoking & it was irritating when @ the Showbox ( after the smoking ban) old farts ( = 8 years older than me) were taking tokes right behind me- it's distracting.

    But I like how he stuck up for the kid.

    I think it was in Champaign in '03 a guy ran up on stage and they were going to kick him out, but Eddie stopped them and then let the guy sing the first verse of Lukin. He's probably on the pit because I think he was front row at a bunch of shows.

  • I am now a NON SMOKER. After smoking for more years that I care to remember, I have been cigarette free for about 8 weeks. So I really understand how you just need one during a show. Ed did a great job there. Stand up for the little guy!

    I was front row at that show! It was sweet. I hadn't seen any video footage of it before, but I couldn't see myself on it I guess the quality is kinda bad.

    It was pretty funny, the security guy was pissed off!

    I saw Josh Homme do the same thing at a QOTSA concert in the summer. It's always cool to see musicians pick on the security guards.

  • Nevermind fuckers...I found it. :P

    That was pretty cool too at the end, he says "if you're gonna start something, get me first...I'm the bad guy"

    yeah ed kicks some major ass sometimes... That was pretty nice of him...
  • Pretty lame of the security guard to wait until Yellow Ledbetter to start hassling people. However, he is 100% justified. Smoking is banned in indoor arenas, after all. Outdoor arenas too, for that matter.

    It's weird, but ambient pot smoke at a concert doesn't bother me at all, while cigarette smoke does.

    I can understand why, pot smoke is alot more natural IMO. I do tend to have a cigg smoke every once in awhile. I usually get this urge (like after good sex) to smoke at shows... lol

    I try not to be a dick about it though... but shit.. its perfectly legal to smoke at rock show, thats my creed anyhow. Its a fucking rock show! Even when i dont want to smoke i expect it when im going to a concert. Every single concert ive been to has had people sneaking smokes

    Sometimes I'll light a cigarette to cover up the pot I'm smoking.

  • The only two shows I went to I was surrounded by people smoking joints and tobacco. Nobody tried to throw them out.

    Oh well, I'll carry on smoking then if Eddie thinks it's okay. ;);)
