Holy shit could that have sounded any worse? Eddie made that song worse than it already was.

    Damn, why the name calling? I'm just giving my opinion. He really didn't do that song any justice at all. He sounds fine the rest of the show, but that one just wasn't his cup of tea I guess.

    Your opinion doesn't mean much considering that you're drunk 99% of the time.

    Im actually a pretty big stones fan, and while I think they could have picked a better song, I thought Eddies voice soudned really good on that song and it really worked. But to each his own.
    words seem so out of place.

    Then you should of said something like " i didn't really care for eddie singing waiting on a friend. Anyone else feel this way?" You were called a name because you were being mean and negative.

    I was being mean? Holy shit did you just make me laugh. I could have been a lot meaner than I was. I actually held back a bit. How am I supposed to say something positive about something that I feel is negative?

    pj is my favorite band. don't care for the stones. i love it when pj covers others' music...but ed's version of this stones' song was not my favorite in pittsburgh. not sure if it was his singing or i just don't like that song any way.

    who the hell are you? 99% of the time? No, I pre-party before Pearl Jam, then drink water and sober up after I get my poster!

    and usually do not drink any more after the show, as to avoid hellish hangovers!

    I loved it.

    I am still waiting to hear the Srones do it live at a show I'm at. I like the song a lot, but, it has always had the stigma of a crappy video
    I love my female wife...

    Easy kids, we're all friends.

    Two wrongs does not make it right.

    If you thought he was being negative, say so articulately and nicely.

    That said, I liked the song. Didn't get too much into at the show, but really enjoyed it on the boot.

    ok i should have dropped the asshole part (i believe i was inspired by ed's "we played it at 7:30 asshole" quote), but still, I do not understand making a subject about how terrible something was (in your opinion). i get tired of the constant bitching on here.

    Doesn't your strategy mean that you're actually coming down during the show? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you peak too early. To each his own....I guess

    Haven't heard it, but I like the attempt at some different covers this tour:

    Waiting on a Friend (Rolling Stones)
    Forever Young (Bob Dylan)
    Can't Explain (Who)


    As long as they're having fun and enjoying themselves, I have no problem with them butchering a song every now and again. Not saying they did that in Pittsburgh, but I think they earn the right to screw around if they choose.

    I love that Stones song. I haven't heard it, but I really can't see Ed singing it to be honest with you


    I think it's cool they did it though
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go
