    This is quite funny actually, as when Mike takes his solo on Even Flow, Ed moves to the back/side of stage and crouches down so as to hideaway when he smokes. I believe smoking onstage is banned in a lot of venues!!!

    Eddie was doing exactly this at Manchester II, could see him clearly (from Block 102) "hiding" behind Boom! :D

    :lol: I'm currently trying to quit smoking and I pointed out Ed's blatatant disregard for the MENs smoking policy to the missus . All I got in reply was "You're only jealous" , I watched in agony as Ed had a quick gasper behind Booms keyboards. Bloody Disgraceful.

    Boom does not sing, so it's acceptable!

    Eddies voice is really getting trashed. It is actually ridiculous at this point that he is STILL smoking. On the isle of wight songs that were televised last week, I thought he sounded awful on Blood, which is obviously a hard song to sing, he even said this back in 2003.... But he looked outright pained singing Alive and Ledbetter.... Songs that are not difficult vocally.

    It's really sad.

    words like these will get you killed on these boards. That being said, I 100% agree with everything you said!
  • It is becoming more noticeable. Especially when compared to Cornell, who I heard only a few weeks ago and he sounded as good as ever. Eddie still does most of the songs justice, but it's worrying to think that in 5 or so years time they might have to give up, as it will reach a point when he just cannot do them justice anymore.

    Last time I checked smoking was one of the last freedoms left in this country!!!

    That being said even though he is touring in Europe. Smoking is a freedom. Ed has the right to exercise his right to smoke whatever he chooses. I personally think this is one thing that should not be taken away from anyone!!!

    As far as his voice goes. His voice is still amazing and after 20+ years singing and living the so called "rock & roll lifestyle" Eddie Vedder still has one of the best if not the best voices in the industry. ;)

    Give him a break and let him enjoy his right to do whatever he wishes!!!

    PEACE!!!

    I agree that it looked like he was struggling during Alive. Eddie's voice is so fantastic and one of the main reasons I love this band so much..I really wish he would take care of his gift. Of course he can do whatever he wants, but we don't want him to damage his voice and his health.

    It cracks me up when people say Eddie's voice sounds better than ever. I think they might be tone deaf. Just listen to PJ Radio for an hour and inevitably you'll hear a song or three where he's sharp or flat or both in the same song. It pains me to hear it.

    Nicotine is a horrible addiction -- totally speaking from experience. I'm sure these nagging little threads are annoying to all the smokers, and I sympathize with all those who want to quit but struggle. I take each day as it comes and consider every non-smoking minute a major triumph.

    I'm sorry but if Ed chooses to smoke then it's his personal choice, his freedom and I don't think it's our place to judge! We don't own him!

    Changes in the voice can be attributed to many factors... age being a main one, your comparing a voice over 20 years and vocal chords that belt out harsh notes, the constant flying from place to place won't help either (the air in planes is dry and recycled and carries multiple airborne bugs)... Sleep, or lack of, will also have an effect and most of us on here probably needed less sleep 20 years ago than we do now (guessing that most of us are 35+)...

    Now what's this mention of ciggies Mike's side at Manchester 2? I never saw any!! lol
  • pandorapandora Posts: 21,855
    Heard on our local news... Atlanta
    that they have a law proposed to not allow smoking in our parks.

    http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/atlanta ... 72694.html

    this would include Piedmont Park where Midtown Music and PJ is set to play.

    Well, lots of singers smoke.. some of them already 40 years...

    And also alot of them drink a lot.

    I think alcohol is more worse then nicotine...

    well, in front of us, stone's side (yeah yeah, i know, mike side is the best), people were smoking weed. they passed it all through the audience... i have no idea where it came from, but someone had joints inside the building in front of the stage.

    currently i am not smoking... due to a cold...
