Gigaton: Official album thread

[Jorge]

special stand that swivels at angles so Ed can super lean

Steel shaft too, it's pretty strong.

Its a throat coat concoction in the wine bottle. It’s not wine.

Do you know what's in the concoction?

Some Chinese herbal thing that’s ordered on the rider and in the dressing room before he even arrives.
Seem to remember being flamed alive for saying that years back on here

You have to admit it sounds made up.

[Monkey_Driven]

You have to admit it sounds made up.

But very practical.

[dimejinky99]

Totally.
Years and years back he told a pal of mine about it. Just a one of us fan who happened to be Asian and mentioned it to him about this concotion and he told him he has it onstage almost every night. The tours with glen I found it out myself.
That isn’t to say there’s *never* wine onstage. There almost always is. But usually encore or towards the end of the set.

The idea that an aging man with a repertoire of strenuous songs would be smearing wine over his vocal cords while screaming every night sounds so much more implausible to me than that he’s just using a reasonable product that every singer over the age of 35 employs.

Yet I got pages of shit off rm for telling that story cos it was ‘bullshit and the guys a funtioning alcoholic who can’t remember lyrics’
Etc infinitely

Jeez, I hope I didn't give you shit, dime.
I think what you describe, Ed having a special drink for his voice in the rider, sounds very likely to be the case. I've read some riders on smoking gun and there's some crazy stuff celebs request, so this seems, again, pretty normal.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

WTF, that's not true. It's Jack Iron's semen.

[Chris_H_2]

he should smoke more

Well, at times, he seems to be alcoholic that forgets lyrics. And he probably drinks some Chinese herbal tea too.

[lecherouslittlestump]

Jesus you guys really hate Eddie Vedder huh?

[Greedo]

I mean, it's his fault that the next album isn't getting released any time soon so

[Monkey_Driven]

Maybe he's the real hero keeping the band from releasing another Lightning Bolt.

[VinylGuy]

Im frustrated with ed, he seems to only care about playing live music. He doesnt even take his solo career anywhere.

[McParadigm]

Maybe he's the real hero keeping the band from releasing another Lightning Bolt.

The guy who wrote the music for 5 of the 12 tracks on that album, and also all of the lyrics?

Yes, we can all admit our shortcomings.

He takes it to places with good wine and good waves. Can’t fault that

[bodysnatcher]

outside of our own desire to hear new music (since we all so loved BS and LB, i can see why we're in so much anticipation), i don't really see how we can fault a dude for his current career choices. if EV was an unknown dude and landed a bunch of success in the stock market and decided to coast through life for a decade, who would fault him? what's the difference?

[McParadigm]

If I could just take my kids’ entire childhood off work, I wouldn’t hesitate.
