I know linking to a pit thread is very bad form. Sorry. But I'm curious.

LOl, what?

The pit thread said he owes Ricky an apology for what happened at the 3:40 mark. Hilarious. All ed did was toss the guitar down for him to pick up. He actually came back to the mic with a pseudo grin and a "haha, wtf"

I hate pearl jam fans.

[DeLima]

the guy says he canned him though. he must be bullshitting.

[BurtReynolds]

heh. it did look like a pretty douchebag maneuver to me, but my main question is why do pj fans know that guy's name?

[DeLima]

eddie got him from the ramones. if you fire a ramone guitar tech you're fucking with the gods.

I would argue that god has made his feelings on the Ramones pretty well known.

Haaaahaha, Ed is a fucking asshole.

[Jorge]

No, I will not hand the guitar to you. You will pick it up from my feet, like the lowly plebeian you are.

[BurtReynolds]

I think I know why they tour less these days. They can't fucking stand each other.

i hope a betterman video surfaces. i want to watch what happens when matt misses/ignores ed's cue to wind the song down instead of going into the save it for later tag. he was angry then, too. and frankly he was angry most of the night. and not the good kind of angry. it made for strange viewing.

why, cuz deedee was a gay child hooker and they all died young?

[DeLima]

full name is rick weinman. this is clearly an anti-semitic incident.

[Jorge]

Reports indicate that he's also half-woman.

[DeLima]

looks like he is in fact gone:

Not exactly sure why we are beating around the bush here, are you saying Ricky was fired?

If so, I think people are legiteamitely asking how you have come to learn this, and if you know who he was replaced with, and is this temporary or permanent?

You allude to a firing but for some reason have not come out and simply said what you know...which I think we all would like to know too

Honestly I do not know the particulars of how they parted ways, but they have in fact parted ways. As far as I know, it is permanent. It will be apparent in about 2 minutes when the show starts.

Ed is just a dickbag. He has been for years - maybe always - though if that's the case, he masked it well for a couple of years. I've been to multiple shows where he's had sand in his vag about something, and the irony is that no one fucks up more often than he does. He is the least professional musician I have paid more than $10 to see. I don't think being friends with Sean Penn helped at all.

If he fired that guy, fuck Ed. If the guy quit, good for that guy. When did it become acceptable to treat another human being like that?

Well said Daft, well said.

That dude who started that thread on the Pit is a douche. Ed and Rick have been known to go at it from time to time. I have a feeling he wasn't very good at his job but was a Ramone so Ed was hooking him up. Here is a couple examples of Ed not thrilled with him. I think it's just their relationship.

2:14 mark


0:45



For the 12 examples people can come up with of Ed arguably being disrespectful, we have 45,283 examples of him doing great things for people. We've all been assholes a few times, who cares.

Which is the bigger douchebag move?
