That's just dumb...I think most people don't like the fact that there's no groove when the songs get sped up so fast.
I guess I'll say "THEY play Evenflow, Given to Fly and Force of Nature too fast" from now on.
but Ed sets the tempo there
lol owned! Its pretty obvious its the bands decision for tempos.

Even a song like Sometimes is being played too fast (on some shows, at least)
Its either a collective decision or purely Ed's call... but it definitely ain't Matt doing it unless the others are on board.
Its hard to judge who is speeding up a song. Drummers typically set the tempo of a song. Let's say that Matt is speeding up songs, for the sake of discussion. If the band is now anticipating that songs will be played faster (from the previous times they've played them fast) then when they do the next guitar intro (like on Sometimes, etc) then they'll start it faster so it will match the speed they anticipate playing. ...but for all we know Ed wants to speed the fuck thru them.
I'm assuming the band is playing it however they want to play it. They're fully capable of slowing it down if they want to. They may not even be aware of some of these songs being played faster.
But, they sure don't play 'em like they used to in general.

Listen to SOLAT from A drop in the park, and then a 2010 version.......Really not that far off from each other (although there were some super fast versions in 2006, I will admit that)
Sometimes is initially paced with Ed on the guitar.....then the bass/drums kicks in, as I'm sure u know...
They have played given to fly both fast and regular with Matt.......same with Even Flow........
Its the whole band, not just Matt.......but I'm also sure he has free reign to up the tempo when he feels like its necessary.
I was actually listening to Given To Fly on Yield the other day......and wanted the damn song to get some energy and speed up....soo much better live....
what death stares?

Yeah man, if someone looked at me like the opposite of "image" I'd shit my pants
The speed is frantic, and as a guitarist in a Pearl Jam tribute band (I play Stone)...playing that riff, that fast...is fucking fun.
I know what you're trying to say, but it's even funnier when I'm looking at the actual photo in your post!

hahaha...
I'm also pretty sure if it WAS Matt, the band must really like it because I can't see Ed or Stone putting up with anything they didn't really want.
My guess the reason why the songs are so fast is due more to Ed than Matt...

I went back and listened to Live on Two Legs for the first time in a while. The songs seemed slow and kinda boring. I like the way the band is playing now. No, I love it. People need to stop complaining. I saw over 120 songs on the East Coast swing (Boston, Newark and MSG I & II [I live in Arkansas]) and I can't stop thinking about how awesome it was. Slow down? Hell no!
Yup!
