In 2019 I flew to Seattle to chill with my cousin and his family. He's in this hip little neighborhood called West Seattle, which has a ton of cool shops, bars, restaurants, and an old school theater called The Admiral. One night, we walked to The Admiral to catch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. As the previews were stating, a guy walked in, waving his hands to get the attention of two women behind us. I tapped my cousin on the shoulder and said "dude, that's Eddie Vedder." My cuz looks up, and said "holy shit, that's Eddie Vedder." I Googled his wife, and sure enough, she was one of the gals behind us. As the movie ended, we went to the lobby and saw them. We were heading to the exit, and I was next in line behind him. He was holding the door open for me, and as I was going to attempt to speak with him, I noticed two elderly women behind me. I couldn't in good conscience not hold the door for them, so I thanked him for holding the door and told him I got it. He noticed that I was holding the door for the women, looked me dead in my face, and said "good for you, man." Getting recognition for holding the door from him was equally as cool as actually talking with him. He walked off with the women, and that was that. As a now 42 year old growing up in Houston, it was almost like seeing Bugs Bunny in real life. Was a cool moment.
Awesome story!
@@georgebrown4626 Haha. Thanks, man. Was a cool moment. I also didn't like the movie, so it made it worth the watch🤷🏼♂️
This type of thing is what it's all about. Thanks for sharing...
Do u think he knew you recognized him?
@@lancelotthanksalot7777 I would assume so. I imagine he gets it all the time. My cousin said he lives in that area, though, so maybe people there generally leave him be.
Definitely would love to see Rick Beato spend an hour with these guys.
YES!!!! and sans Eddie...Stone and Jeff maybe....love Eddie but he wanders and seems to never be locked in in these interview situations....Bill isn;t the best to pull information either
Absolutely agree with you. This interview was pretty sloppy in my view, especially after seeing the apple music interview and tour of their extraordinary HQ. I think these guys were pretty patient with Bill and quite cordial. Rick would absolutely smash it he's become the benchmark for serious musician interviews.
@@KayJayUUayI agree! The stupidity of some of these questions! Jeff and Ed were very patient and trying their best, but you can see Ed struggling to understand the point of half these topics. He doesn’t love interviews as it is. I wouldn’t blame him for retreating from them again.
Agreed. Rick interviewed Matt Cameron recently, in case you missed it. Was great.
Pass
Its hard to imagine that Jeff Ament is over 60 years old.
He's childfree!
I dated guys in their 20s and 30s that look older than Jeff lol. It's unbelievable. My dad is 64
@@erbish82he’s a man!
@@erbish82he’s a man 🙂
yeah he dresses like a 16 year old
Beautiful to see how close Eddie and Jeff are after all these years.
Aren’t they like the closest out of all of the band mates? Or is it Stone and Jeff?
A few years back I went to a local shop to get a new fin for my surfboard. Place was empty, just me and my wife.
I'm sitting there waiting for the shop guy to get my fin and the door opens up and some guy with his kid walk in and start looking at the boards rack in front of me. I don't pay them much attention, just keeping my nose in my phone, browsing. Then I see out of my peripheral that the guy was moving closer to me, so I glance up... and it's Eddie.
After my brain de-fizzles enough I work up enough gumption to say, "Eddie?"
He looks over and says "Yeah?"
I got up and walked up to him... he put his hand out and I shook it. We chatted for about 2-3 minutes.
Feeling like I had taken enough of his time, I ask if he'd mind taking a selfie, He says "sure." I snap a couple and thank him and sat back down on the bench to wait for my fin. He walked out of the room a few moments later.
I got back on my phone to text my wife about what just happened, and midtext I hear a little voice, "Excuse me..." I look up and it was his daughter. She was maybe 10 or 11 at the time.. and she goes "Dad said to give you this." and hands me one of his picks.
I've been a life-long fan of his and the band... and was already beside myself getting to chat with him as long as I did. Him sending over the pick was such a thoughtful and genuinely cool gesture.
They say don't meet your heroes... but sometimes, it works out pretty great when you do.
That's a really cool story ❤
That's a great story dude.
So cool!
That's cool. I just met Jeff in Vancouver on Sunday. He was having coffee downstairs at our hotel. Total shock n excited. He was so friendly and relaxed. Gave me a pick n took a pic too. Saturday was a great show but I think Monday was better. Lifelong memories...
Well that put a little tear in my eye. Well told. I don't know how he does it but it seems like these are the stories everybody tells of his kindness and generosity.
Some horrible/dumb questions... very nicely handled by Jeff and Eddie.
Simmons is NOT a good interviewer
Bill Simmons completely out of his element.
Yep Annoying...the sport references are really not needed
Eddie Vedder is miserable. Not a clear thought in that brain. He puts the NAP in SyNAPses.
Eddie Vedder to me, seems unbelievably unbothered by everything around him, but deeply caring in what interests him, awesome man, I’m 45 and have never really heard or came across interviews with him, now will never pass another one by
A man of principle . Says little but when he speaks people listen. These types are my idols and I try to model myself after them ( and fail miserably most times).
Some people like Eddie just have it.
there are quite a few interviews with him here on youtube (lightning bolt interviews on the pearl jam channel among lots of others). he also did an audio book on audible not too long ago that's called I AM Mine, which is really good. he also did an iconoclasts mini doc with laird hamilton a few years back that's really good. it's also here on youtube.
He is thoughtful, and I’m guessing on the hashish.
@@archivalangel Eddie smoked weed in the early days of PJ, but stopped as soon as his daughters were born (about 20 years ago).
@@maggieshevelew1693 wrong
I wish a man would look at me the way Jeff looks at Ed. 😍
He's always smiling at him when Ed is telling stories on stage too.
@@karent2419 Jeff looks like such a sweet guy.
I would imagine there are ones that do, but -
You guys saved a lot of lives with Ten. Your honesty in your lyrics reached many kids, my son included. I love you guys and I am so thankful.
I named my son after Eddie for this reason. I like to think that I would have made it through on my own, but Pearl Jam made me feel so much less alone in the dark. A band for the ages.
Eddie has a supernatural quality to him. I can't stop watching him, even when he isn't speaking. Amazing.
Totally agree! I find I keep watching him with a permanent smile on my face :)
Wizardry
I'm transfixed as well! So thoughtful. And always so quick witted
It's called fanboy-ism.
I met him briefly after they recorded on Jools Holland at the BBC in London and can concur. He walked into an after show party and the atmosphere in the room just shifted. Amazing human!
I have no idea who the interviewer is, but he annoyed the hell out of me with his constant interruptions and attempts to lead Jeff and Ed's answers. Ed is a very thoughtful speaker, it would have been nice to give him enough space and time to fully develop his responses without getting interrupted constantly.
I loved Jeff's input though, and it's beautiful to see how well they two get along after so many years.
Obviously you don’t follow sports
@@janski1982 I do! But obviously you are from the U.S. and assume people from the rest of the wide world give a damn about your sports.
He's a guy who has played Pearl Jam to open and close his podcasts forever.
@@barbaramelian509 Yet your opinions have the whole world riveted.
No way, I’m loving this interview
Eddie ain’t playing games lmaoooo love it
Jeff Ament hasn't aged a day. Awesome to learn about their batting cage!
I think Eddie prefers responding to more direct questioning. I don’t think he just wants to be led into reminiscing about the ‘good ol’ days’.
I think Bill wanted it to be a “hang” but, Pearl Jam aint your sports watchin buddies. They have you there to promote their album… nothing more
@@mcnell311 just that both Eddie and Jeff are really into sports, someone also wrote in the comments here that they are friends with him, so probably thats why they did the interview, even though they are very restrictive about doing interviews. They were not there just "to promote their album", thats not their style
I was at that Del Mar show Jeff is talking about at Bing Crosby Pavilion. They opened for Nirvana and Chili Peppers. I had no idea who they were. Ed climbs the lighting rig and is shaking it back and forth. He hangs upside down from the top. It was so high. He rides the audience and then comes back and finishes the song. They were so good RHCP and Nirvana should have opened for them. It was life altering watching that.
I was at that show too... damn, I'm old. Can't beat the 90's man.
PJ is twice as good as Nirvana and about 380 times better than RHCP
For me, they’re all in their own category and great. Mudhoney is still greatest PNW band ever.
Any band which can stay together for decades deserves respect. Metallica, The Rolling Stones, U2, Aerosmith, even Coldplay.
“Even Coldplay” 😂 brutal
even crazier are the bands like U2 and Radiohead who've been together for 30+ years with the same lineup!
What a horrendous interview. Bills the worst at asking questions. He only interviews people so he can validate his own takes. Every question is super leading. I can’t imagine the balls it takes to go into an interview like this with literally nothing prepared. What a waste of everyone’s time.
I couldn't agree more. I struggled through it. There are so few PJ interviews these days. Broken Record did a great one and so too Apple Music. Who asks about a concept record by asking if this is a conceit record? Eddy tried to help him out there but it was dead in the water by that stage. Such a pity.
It becomes clear he’s a pop culture guy but doesn’t really understand music. What was fascinating (and disappointing) was how poorly he asked some questions around sports. It’s still great to hear these guys talk about music and life.
I commented by myself already about the missing opportunity to talk about the inclusion of Present Tense in The Last Dance, but just now I came across the thing with the setlists. What a cool thing from Bill to mention that and just when Eddie was talking about it and was seemingly ready to dive in deeper into the process of creating setlists Bill throws that chance away and goes over to Jeff asking him about his connection to sports. How tone deaf can an interviewer be.
Saw Pearl Jam July 1998 in Seattle. A park by the needle. As a 20 yr old kid, it was the amazing moment in my life at the time. I crowd surfed over the security gate and Eddie was right in front of me. Thank you for that guys!
Memorial stadium!
The 21st and the the 22nd. I was at the second show. I was 18 and it will forever be the greatest concert ever. When the huge disco ball came down and shined across the crowd it was epic to say the least.
95 in Sydney Australia was the band at it's best for me....
Don't think Eddie cares for a lot of Bill's questions
This was hard to listen to. Bill is NOT a good interviewer for something like this. You could tell almost immediately that Eddie wanted to get out of there.
It’s clear Ed wants to play the Super Bowl and use AI to write the set lists going forward. 😂
Eddie is far above him as a human being
He’s like that in every interview. He acts like he doesn’t understand what the question is and takes forever to give a response and rarely actually answers the question lmao
Eddie wasn’t interested in doing the retrospective thing and Bill kept pushing it.
Much gratitude to Vedder and Ament for providing time and for their openness. Mr. Simmons, thank you as well. I'm 56, been to every PJ tour since 1995, and thoroughly enjoyed the open conversation. This is one of the first times that I've seen someone address the authenticity vide which was a necessity in the 1990's.
Also, I do miss the pre-social media days. If a person wanted to insult, disparage, or criticize another, it was done face-to-face, or vocally. Consideration for fellow human beings is lost in today's world because of Social Media.
Bill stop interrupting them. Good lord. Let them finish.
I think it’s his style for audio podcasting where he feels compelled to keep the pace going and to prevent listeners from getting alienated. But you’re right, it doesn’t translate well to this style of interview.
Seriously.
Maybe he’s doing just fine
Eddie Vedder clocked the interviewer’s back handed compliments
What were the backhanded compliments?
@@Julieroo28 Im guessing the constant references to the 90s
Pearl Jam has been one of the most prolific touring bands that delivers balls out shows every show. Im lucky enough to have seen them 14 times ... i think... maybe more. Ten came out when i was in 7th grade......, didnt see them live till the No Code tour.
Don't know who Bill Simmons is, but this as my first time watching/hearing him interview anybody, I have zero interest to watch/hear him do it again...this felt like being on a bad first date with someone that asks the most awkward questions and makes the most awkward comments 🫠
Lol bad first date for sure good analogy
Would've never guessed Johnny Ramone had the third largest collection in the world of 8x10's signed by MLB players. Over 5,000!
Amazing interview/hangout. Thanks for doing it and sharing it with us.
I like that Bill is doing these on RUclips now. I was listening to the podcast but then realized I could watch it. Pretty sick!
I listen to the podcast specifically for this interview but then when he said was on video I'm watching it all over again and it's a million times better!
Thanks for the company. Greetings from very near to Porto Ercole in Tuscany where Ed wrote at least one song.
eddie's intense personality always gets all the attention (good and bad) but jeff and stone really need some credit for persevering with music and being determined to make a band that would last from the very beginning. even though stone and jeff never got along very well they were committed to making a band stay together and willing to work through whatever problems came up.
I love how so many people from so many places and situations..... have such true authentic fond memories of meeting any of the guys from Pearl Jam! I got to see Brad... at the ottobar in Baltimore an awesome venue that any band or artist coming up plays, the Ottobar is the tour stop in Baltimore. It was s was in 2010, i just saw stone in the alley next to the tour bus before the show...and i was basically spewing as fan how much i love him and ..pearl jam.... and how it was an honor to meet him..... and then he thanked me..... he said thanks for coming to the show tonight. My girlfriend took a pic of us.......and then he said , i'll see you inside. It was such an intimate cool show. Stone hung out afterwards and took pics with some people, but what I noticed and felt was that Stone was so normal..... chill and not "rock star"......... that was the coolest thing to me. He talked to everyone after the show... he was cool as could be. Special night!
That's what I keep thinking too. Even watching him on stage from the other night and in like t-shirt and blue jeans. How can they still just seem like regular guys? They make me feel like we're all in this together and that is truly remarkable
This is the best interview I’ve seen of them in a while. I’m 12 mins in so watch rest when I’m back.
Go watch the one with Zane Lowe it’s 10x better than this one. This one is kinda hard to watch it honestly
Wow. Guess they're making the rounds... please get an interview with Rick Beato!!
Awesome idea!!!
His interview with Robert Deleo from STP was incredible, Bill Simmons interviewing these guys is not the best choice
Seriously great idea. Rick loves PJ. He just did an interview with Matt not too long ago but I'd love one with the full band!
It’s rare I actually watch these things but I gotta say, this interview makes you love these guys even more.
But first…Pearl Jam
They also did Stern show ( didnt hear it) but PJ is alive. Summer of Pearl Jam
mannnn, growing up, I use to blast TEN all the timeeeeeeeeeee. Never, ever got sick of that Legend Album. Then Vs! Holy shit that was a Banger too, and Vitalogy. The music of my youth....and they didnt fall off either. If you lost track of them, you have to hear Just Breathe, Future Days, Sirens, or The End...some of the best songs everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr by PJ.
The Apple Music interview on RUclips is the best thing I’ve seen in a long while.
Absolutely, Rick asks particularly thoughtful/informed questions!
Was surfing Doheny State Beach at Dana point in 2016, and I heard (while paddling) soundcheck rehearsal of a weird "Shine on you crazy diamond" version with a tribal kind of drumming! Focused further, was Eddie rehearsing with Jack Irons! Didn't then know about the event (flew 1/2 way around the world to SoCal).
Shout out to Big Sandy, MT!
Incredible interview. Thanks Bill (and of course Jeff and Eddie!)
The wine insta idea was funny. Jeff’s take on songwriters using AI was excellent.
Thank you for this. This was the good shit.
What a fantastic interview- relaxed, fun… nicely done
love PJ, love Bill Simmons, love sports, love art. thanks Bill
Haha! Hell, yeah!
I really love what Jeff Ament was saying about the magic of creating music organically versus the use of AI
Fantastic Pod! Eddie's story about the chili peppers and shooting hoops was 1 hundred
Teared up several times. But, Eddie talking about Matt’s drumming… I smiled b/c the drums stood out in ways that I can’t explain. Matt is special. And so is Pearl Jam. Great interview.
Nah, Pearl Jam hasn't been the same with Matt drumming.
@@buzlink nah
This new album would be even better with Dave abruzzses drumming on it… I kinda lost interest after he was fired , I was not interested as much after vitalogy…. There were some good songs here and there , but something definitely was missing the chaotic drumming was missed ..
@@toddprater14 Yet here you are. 😂
@@Julieroo28 I’m here cause the new albums a step back in in direction of their first 3 albums and it would sound even better if Dave A. Was drumming on it .
The interviewer seems obsessed with the 90’s, he keps repeating stuff like ”it’s been more than 30 years now”, or says “now that you’re older” it seems kind of disrespectful. It’s like the only thing that defines them is this huge success they had in the beginning? Like, why not ask a question about all they’ve done between 98-2020? He asks about each album but STOPS at yield (1998) because he feels the need to explain to Eddie and Jeff that all bands peaks after six years. Dude, the band has released more albums after yield, than before it.
He did the same thing in the last interview too. I would be so annoyed. PJ are so restrictive with interviews, why did they pick this guy? Is it because he knows a lot about sports? I don’t get it…
I love Ed in this interview because it reminds me of the way he was in that 91' interview with him and Stone where he's not really taking it too seriously and seems like he might be a bit high. He's making a lot of the same facial expressions, mostly because he's probably thinking about surfing, The Who and Joe Strummer.
Jeff looks younger now than 30 years ago. Fuckin A
Bill is surprised that Yield is one of Jeff’s favorite albums, yet Bill immediately proceeds to say that the vibe in 1998 was special. You didn’t connect that? I guess you didn’t watch “Single Video Theory.”
It was such a strange reaction! I'm thinking Yield is a huge album! WTF
@@karent2419 Exactly. There was such a collaborative effort on that album.
Love hearing Eddie Vedder doing these interviews.But what i'd have loved even more is hearing young eddie doing in depth interviews like this back in the day when they started out.
Great, great interview!
Love the lives!
Wonderful interview, Porch is a great choice . The 🥑 avocado story good . Love Jeff . Pearl jam have been like family for since 91. Thank you
Soooo cool, love the HQ
Eddie Vedder has a great voice. He should be doing some voice overs. Audio books? Documentaries? Narrator?
JEFF AND EDDIE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CLOSE, I LOVE THEIR CHEMISTRY!! I LOVE PEARL JAM ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ AWESOME INTERVIEW BILL. I LOVE EDDIE'S AND JEFF'S STORIES!! EVERY INTERVIEWS YOU GET TO KNOW PEARL JAM A LITTLE MORE EACH TIME AND I TRULY LOVE THAT!! THANK YOU BILL AND THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH PEARL JAM!! MY FAVORITE BAND ON THIS CRAZY PLANET!! KEEP ROCKIN IN THE FREE WORLD LONG LIVE PEARL JAM THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER!! 😊💓🤘✌️CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DARK MATTER TOUR!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Theve always been close huh..do you know them?
@Jeremya74 NO, I DON'T KNOW THEM PERSONALLY. I'VE JUST WATCHED THEM OVER THE YEARS IN CONCERT, THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN JEFF AND EDDIE. EVEN IN 1992, EDDIE AND JEFF ROOM TOGETHER IN THOSE EARLY YEARS BECAUSE THEY GOT ALONG GOOD.
THANK YOU FOR ASKING! 😊💓🤘✌️
@@laurawatters914 OOOOOOKKKKKKKKK
@@Jeremya74 IM SORRY IM NOT YELLING AT YOU, I JUST CAN'T SEE VERY WELL I APOLOGIZE. 😔
@@laurawatters914 I CANT ETHER!
I wonder how secretly triggered Bill was by there being a Mookie Wilson jersey right next to a Bill Buckner jersey…
Jeff and Eddie are legends
Thoughts:
1. Yield is my longtime favorite PJ album. Nice to hear the props from Jeff
2. Sorry to hear their Super Bowl answer but get it. I’d had a fantasy of a PJ Foo Fighters joint show
3. Fascinating to hear them talk about Taylor Swift, and her rarefied position. Especially from their perspective having been massive at one time.
4. Love the sports discussion. Real fans.
5. They’re both charming and thoroughly enjoyed this
I definitely purchased Vs. on vinyl because it came out a week or two before the CDs/Cassettes were released.
The idea of seeing Ed inspecting avocados in a grocery store is hilarious. I'd be like, nah, that can't be him.
Bill Simmons ReWatchables: Fuck yeah!!!
Pearl Jam! Pearl Jam! PEARL JAM!
I read this in Chris Cornell's voice 😊
@@mstoads yes!
I loved that he called it a ghetto blaster…without censoring himself. Vedder made me laugh a few times. 👍🏼
Adding more than take away...wise words
Simmons could have done a lot more with an hour and a half with Pearl Jam. Everyone has a different style, but his nonchalant style cuts them off at many points and he starts bantering over them.
This was a great interview I had no idea Eddie was so funny! He must never cut open a bad avocado...hahah
Bill Simmons interview is as if Chris Farley was doing an interview, "you remember....that was great"
Haha, you remember when you were a beatle? And your said the love you give is the love you take? Is that true? Haha chris Farley was so awesome.
Excellent chuckle you gave me!
Love Pearl Jam and Bill. This was a tough interview to watch.
I’m with you, it was extremely awkward at times. Honestly it was Eddie’s fault he just would not engage with bill’s questions. They have been interviewed by bill multiple times before and bill interviewed the way he always does so I don’t blame him. Eddie just flat out refused to answer most of his questions and acted like they were all stupid lol. He’s just up his own ass honestly, and I say that as a huge Pearl Jam fan. Jeff was totally affable and relaxed and cool and Eddie sitting there acting insulted that bill asked him for one word reaction to each album? What the fuck is wrong with that question Eddie? Lol
I am so glad they said no to Super Bowl. Es is totally right. It is disrespectful.
Hell Yeah, great interview!
But first, our friends from Pearl Jam...Best ever podcast intro
The only grunge band left. True rock and roll survivors
Dang it, missed opportunity when Bill lists his sports facts and mentions the Present Tense endroll thing in The Last Dance and Ed chimes in "Surprisingly" and just went over it to mention an unrelated fact like the Warriors staying together.
make sure to always listen to the person you interview and be ready for interviews to go in the direction of things being said.
Yield has always been my fav too.
Yes! Why is he so surprised by that?
It's a great album
Glad I knew better than to think I’d actually learn anything about the music. This was a tough hang I gotta admit.
Love PJ. Love Baseball. Brilliant. Also. Johnny Ramone was a real baseball fan
Eddie doesnt seem to ever understand Bill’s questions. I think its all of Bills zeitgeisty quips and generalizations.
Hard to understand when the interviewer is asking about the ‘conceit’ of the album when he actually means concept.
@@al-jk2ig I was wondering about that because Ed seems well read.
@@al-jk2ig‘conceit’ means “an expression of writing or speech”. He meant conceit and I was embarrassed that Eddie didn’t know the word.
Listening to Eddie comfirms for me that you don't have to agree with someone's politics to admire them. I agree with some of his views, but far from all. That doesn't mean I don't respect the man. I remember a time when folks could be on different sides of the political spectrum and still have respect for eachother. Still be friends.. Our Politics shouldn't define us, or devide us as deeply as they do today. We need to think deeper than that, because ultimatly as humans we ARE more than that. There's much more to us than our political leanings. Try asking someone you know who leans in a different politcal direction, how they're doing on a personal level. We all have more in common then we're condontioned to believe. I guess I'm just exhausted by all of the division and wish things were not like this. Maybe we're all too condtioned. Too bought in, to even attempt to find common ground in all the madness. All I can say for sure is, none of this politcal shit is good for mental health, and its imortant to not let it consume us completely. But perhaps its too late. I hope not.
Can't believe that Eddie forgot about the "Drop acid" t shirt interview on MTV in 1992-1993. He and Stone were interviewed and he made a big show of Ten not being on vinyl and said that the liner notes unfolded is LP sized.
When Bill mentioned the different drummers and Eddie just looked at him. 😅 I could listen to Eddie and Jeff just talk to each other.
Eddie, please, I need to know what T-Swift B Side you're talking about.
Bill’s interview style is always fun to watch even when it goes off the rails.
Hi Jeff and Eddie. i love you! You have no idea how much you guys means to me! There were many moments through out my life Eddie made sense, not just Eddie but Pearl Jam as whole. When music shape a person, you are one of them! Edit: I found comfort in Pearl Jam throughout my life. I wasn’t into PJ untill a collab with Neil Young. Mirror Ball and Merkin Ball that’s was when PJ attached to my heart. I was only Neil Young and Nirvana guy, though my friends gets PJ instantly. It might be slow love, but it is special connection. People I don’t know though who has a special place in my heart. Especially Eddie. I wish I saw you in No Code era! But that day will come. Live experience. And I know it’ll be special. But right now I enjoy you guys do new things like interviews. It like get to know you in personal level throughout PJ history.
Good shit,,, 3 legends talking story
Those Mookie Wilson next to Bill Buckner shirts are very cool, even as a Red Sox fan, thankfully 38 years and 4 championships later.
14:50
The moment was January 2nd, 1992 at the Salem Armory. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and RHCP!
I don't know, both Ed and Jeff have their arms folded alot of the time. I'm not sure they were vibing this interview
Interviewer; “Hey Ed, You looks a little puffy compared to 91’. What says you?.
Ed - you have done Howard and now bills show. Great interviews thanks. You guys should do hot ones. And would that complete the cycle?
The best band ever !
Eddie looked pretty uncomfortable during much of this interview. I thought he was going to cut it short at some points. I think Bill meant concept of the album not conceit.
Thanks
I’m just going to make it clear that was the clash album. Like tribute. Avocado. But there was the Led Zeppelin reference that Jeff made. In an article way back then.
Bill should have came out with an open ended kinda questions, instead of throwing 'facts' that he read from his ipad at Ed & Jeff. It's their life stories, they're the ones who knows better than anyone else on this planet. Just sayin.
Couldn’t agree more
He didn't completely annoyingly fanboy them the entire time like Howard though
Was about to echo that Howard does the same thing. Gets his research and sticks to his script. It's frustrating.
Where do I apply for that job!
Awesome very funny 👍👍
Ed was not impressed 😂
It was Ben Stiller, not Affleck, in Reality Bites.
