I can be. That was meant to be a joke tho. I love Mike, and when there’s more of him, there’s more of him to love!
Funny, man. I forgot about the dry RM humour, since verb left.

I love how we all loved Ed being an angry motherfucker towards bouncers, security crews, interviewers, half naked women in the auidence, bros in the crowd, soundmen, lighting crew....but as soon as he threw an acoustic guitar down in front of his roadie that is where we draw the line. Why? cause we didnt like lightning bolt and thus he's an asshole

Nah, this was demeaning. I’m sure events led up to it, but it’s inexcusable, especially at his age at the time. It was his worst public moment, I think.

wasnt that roadie a chronic junkie or something and the guitar tuning was all fked up

i agree Ed’s credibility is worth less than a used condom at this point

but i think there was more to that guitar tech thing than just Ed being a conceited primadonna

no one mentioned the Oracle corporate gig

deserves an Hon Mention

but clearly the winner is that the band that made their name taking Ticketmaster to court

now let’s them charge people $900 for a seat through a price gouging algorithm

all the other crappy music video production values and crappy music in general post- Vitalogy are pale in comparison

to the fundamental abdication of their moral values

that’s a wrap folks

So they make a live action video, advertising the sale of their new album, with green screens in the back, which can be edited for a commercial. I really don't think this is high on the embarrassment ladder, compared to MANY other examples.

Nothing wrong with trying to sell your product. Any other band would get no shit for commercial advertising.

Ticketmaster Turnaround, Corduroy C&R, Public Roadie Humiliation... Those are my top three of anything anyone else has presented.

We need a poll.

Oh, and all of Ed's dumb trucker caps and the new hipster hat. Those are all cringeworthy fashion fouls.

Didn't know unused condoms could be relied on investment or betting advise, but OK
