Eddie Vedder is a clown. I don't know when it happned but he became the biggest rock n' roll cliche going.

The aging, balding , fat drunk former rock n' roll rebel. There's really never been a bigger poser than Eddie Vedder.

Is this a midlife crisis? I don't get it. It started with the smoking. It's classic mid-life crisis behavior. Take a crap on your talents and accomplishments and reach for the things that you think you missed out on - in this case he's scrapping the principled dissident figure for the fame and fortune rockstar he passed on.

I

Didn't he start smoking when Kurt Cobain died? Not quite midlife yet there.

I dunno, Ed is pretty cool.

I never knew smoking was a sign of a mid-life crisis, I always thought it was stuff like loafers with no socks and convertibles.

I don't think Rock Stars can go through a mid life crisis.

They always fuck 18-24 year old models, from the time they became famous till the time they die.

Why would there ever be a reason to have a crisis?

i hope i look like Ed when im a hundred years old.

I can't believe you didn't lock this.

I'm drunk, fat, balding, and smoking. I kinda want to see where this is going.

Fuck, and on a night where I'm not spamming the board.

Sounds like someone may be a little bitter about not getting tickets today...or is it too soon to make jokes about that?

Yea, Ed wasn't acting like that though thats the point.

hey look with my $48 Tom Petty tickets I get his new CD downloaded for free and CSN opening. If you are lucky enough to spend 5 hours online getting $90 Pearl Jam tickets you get jack.

They are a joke. They went from earnest and serious to a caricature.

I got tickets.

What did Ed do anyhow? Drink a beer and laugh with some friends?

Congrats this band used to be the best in the world

I've been criticizing them since backspacer

but today my god

the cringe worthy stuff from the RRHOF dinner

the Target thing

The 10C debacle

I mean hey Ed is so relatable "maybe you like him cause he's so down home" hey who doesn't have a 4 story firepole built into their mansion

whose going to pay for his gastric bypass?

He smoked his voice into a squeek, he sold out, he acts like a schmuck onstage, and did I mention hes fat, balding, and a drunk

but he did lose some weight I think since 09. Maybe he watches youtube and didn't like what he saw

Can we make this guy a mod?

i say admin

Don't even get me started on the lead guitarist who plays shirtless now. He hops on the wagon gets some tatoos and thinks who he is. The more talented guitarist has always been the awkward one. I liked Mikey better when he wanted to be stevie ray vaughn or some bad ass funny fat looking dude circa 98-2000. Now he thinks he's Dave Navarro. spare me

This has been a very humourous day in Pearl Jam chat.
