    do u guys know the nothing man version from like rockline or something like that where ed says at the beginning "this is for my friend matt feckinger (or something that sounds like that...)...matt wherever you are this is for you"????

    more importantly, i only have it on tape. does anyone have a burned cd of this? that version is kickass. its so...mellow and slow and sedate, it gives me chills. i hold my breath practically when i hear it. *swoon*

    I think the song is amazing... it doesn't have a huge personal attachment like some other songs do, but it's definitely one of my favorites... I just listened to Vitalogy yesterday, and kept this song on repeat for probably half an hour.

    I was really touched when i heard nothingman on the seattle boot of 2000 (second night), and when I saw it later on TB2000: waw, the way he stands there and sings it.... awesome!!!
    -The only fucking reason you guys chant my name is cuz I'm the only guy in the band whose name has two syllables. We call Stone 'Stoney'. You could chant that, 'Stoney, Stoney' -EV

    -Stone has the guts to fly here in a helicopter, but he's too scared to play breath -EV

    tb2000 is such a great version of this song. anytime i watch/hear it, i just sit there in awe of how well he projects his voice.

    >SHOWBOX VERSION<

    That's the one that really gets me. The power/emotion there is outta this world! Leaves me motionless. WOW!


    You know I've always thought Nothingman was a gorgeous song, I just never had the slightest idea how much it would affect me live. I cried my eyes out at MSG 2, totally took me by surprise. I had no idea this song would do that to me. I just lost it. Very touching song and live...you just feel it even more. This really is one of those songs were Ed just pours his soul out. Eyes closed, pulling you in while he just pours it out. Amazing.

    I agree Lyd. I cried during this song too. It just hit me during night 2 at MSG, you know the line "she once believe in every story he had to tell..." WOW, i just lost it. I cried. I thought I was the only one crying, but I looked, and Lyd was crying as well. that song is SO emotional live and it has to be experienced, especially w/your friends.:)

    So true Nadia! That was an intense/amazing moment. I'm glad we shared it together.


    The lines that really fuckin gets me are...


    "some words when spoken can't be taken back"

    "he who forgets, will be destined to remember"


    Yeah. Very powerful song. Really blew me away live.

    Same here girl, same here.:) I just remembered I looked at you, and you were crying as I was too. awww and I gave you a HUG.

    I wonder who else cried during this song? and there are others that share the same experience we did.

    Like a lot of Eddie's songs it came about due to an incident. This one with Stone where he said there was going to be a big plane crash and he'd be the only survivor. Eddie said what? and he said "nothing man" and put out his cigarette. Eddie thought it would be a good song about a worthless guy like "nowhere man" by the beatles.
