I see no problem here, this seems like a completely reasonable way to treat a do-- oh.

* bolded is my current level of outrage.

outrage level 0: "whatever"
outrage level 1: "Well I for one am mildly disappointed."
outrage level 2: "wow, what a douchebag. I think less of him now"
outrage level 3: "I hope that fucker loses his job!"
outrage level 4: "put that motherfucker in jail!"
outrage level 5: "and throw away the key!"
outrage level 6: "Prison is too good for him! die!die!die!die!die!die!
outrage level 7: "kill him slowly. very slowly!"
outrage level 8: "make his life an unending hell"
outrage level 9: "make his life an unending hell, wipe out his entire family, and erase all records of his existence."
outrage level 10: "destroy the human race and start over."
Rank the outrages.

I remember thinking when seeing them last month that it seems like Eddie's tech is always running around like a chicken with his head cut off and seems to be two steps behind everyone else.

Looks like Ed humiliated this guitar tech in front of 17000 people just in the nick of time! If he hadn't, who knows how many Pearl Jam shows he might've gone on to ruin?

The albums aren't as good cause of Brendan O'Brien, and the live shows aren't as good cause of Ricky Ramone.

Have we entertained the possibility that it's all just sabotage at this point?

I bet if you search the archives of the old board there are dozens of posts going back to the Binaural-era about the shortcomings of Ed's guitar tech.
