a comprehensive examination of JoshK's on-stage musical role

[Captain Termite]

Someone should do one.

[E.H. Ruddock]

eh, it would be pedestrian at best.

[VinylGuy]

i will say he is better at it than he is at driving

[Captain Termite]

We see him back there, klingerhopping around in his fucking lawnmower tarmac earmuffs, but no one really knows his musical roles in these songs. He's got some electronic devices. He has a guitar. He has drum sticks and some drums. He is singing sometimes. Once I looked up and he was playing the guitar and tambourines at the same time! wtf.

Could all the herky-jerky motion and guitars/tambourines be a smoke-screen? A distraction from the fact that he is using foot pedals to modulate Eddie's autotune? I'm open to other bizarre theories.

At least when you see Boom there you know exactly what he is doing.

[Captain Termite]

On the other hand, he came out to the front of the stage for Something Special, which is a good song

[96583UP]

Out of the Ashes of his failed audition as first-chair triangulist for the LA Philharmonic…

[Jorge]

He's killing it, IMO

[96583UP]

He's killing it, IMO

too soon

[Happy Trees]

In every photo I've seen of him lately, he looks like an elf with a mischievous "not sorry" smirk on his face. I wonder what he's really thinking.

[96583UP]

i think he is too stupid to feel remorse

[Birds in Hell]

I think that’s just his face.

Horrifying physiognomy situation.

- Josh K
- Wotman
- That guy who misappropriated a bunch of their money

The band seem strangely vulnerable to weird grifters.

I hadn’t heard about this. When did it happen?

Seems like around 2006-2010:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/ ... ing-380000

A former key member of Pearl Jam's management team has pleaded guilty to large-scale theft from the Seattle grunge titans. Rickey Charles Goodrich used his position as chief financial officer at Curtis Inc, who oversee Pearl Jam's career, to steal $380,000 (£232,500) over four years, before he was fired in September 2010.

Goodrich was charged with 33 counts of theft in June 2012, wth prosecutors saying he used the money to pay debts he and his wife had run up, as well as for personal items including holidats and wine. The band's management had become worried about Goodrich's oversight of their financial affairs in late 2009. The Seattle Times reported that Goodrich was confronted about the discrepancies in the group's finances after their May 2010 tour, on which he had filled in for the regular tour accountant, and during which he claimed to have made a payment of $15,000 in "road cash" to the band. When the group disputed that, Goodrich said he had used it to pay crew bonuses, only for the crew to deny they had received payments. He was fired in September 2010, and the Seattle police launched a criminal investigation in January 2011.

Goodrich, 55, pleaded guilty to six counts of felony theft. He has paid back $125,000 and agreed to pay a further $181,000 in restitution before he is sentenced on 21 February.

The group have made no comment on the case.

Interesting

[Farmer John]

I'm surprised to see Boom didn't make the list.

I can't believe he managed to convince Ed that a) he had never heard of the band before, and b) that he could play the organ.

[Simple Torture]

eh, it would be pedestrian at best.

A real hit (and run) piece.

[mikejasond]

[coptheriotact]
