Word.

he definitely has good instincts and a flare for the dramatic but just because he was in some high school plays once doesn't make him an actor for the rest of his life.

30 years on now!

Kids in their 20s are morons........See this video.

And then what happened to Layne Staley and Chris Cornell.

Kurt Cobain's suicide😭😭😭

Eddie was happy-go-lucky in PJ until he met Kurt.........

I think he was referring to Jeremy

?

Lame!

He's probably right about a video for Black, but that ain't the song. I worked this tour. He's talking about Once. He bitched about that song the whole damn tour like a whiny toddler. Execs told him too bad it's a fan fav. Then when people started publicly asking which song he was talking about in this interview that he didn't want to play he lied and said Black because he didn't want to answer why Once bothered him. All his friends knew the story behind the song and would make fun of him for it, and they knew it made him mad. lol and then his friends also started a crowd interaction that really caught on, with audience members holding up a finger every time he sang the word once, then lowering it for a moment only to raise it again for the next once, that really set him off(he said when the whole crowd did it that it vaguely resembled a crowd of nazis doing the nazi salute). The best example of this is if you look up the 2000 Pinkpop version of Once(he got over it by then), but they started it at the 92 Pinkpop. Soundgarden was there to mess with him, and this would have been only a few stops after that. After this interview I told him he was being a big baby and he got like really extremely mad at me for quite awhile, I think he finally calmed down towards me around Australia. That's a lot of shows in between here and there man. A lot.

Kurt was murdered.

Christian Gore he has Crohn's disease. He was really suffering from it here. An awful disease.

@@danemonk2892 Like you know. Do you have it?

@@travzimmerman1340 he’s open about it and he works with charities that raise awareness for crohn’s

How so?

Dang I just realized your comment’s 15 years old

No he didnt. He was playing a role. Eddie was so fucking happy go lucky until it was time to not be happy go lucky and cash in........

Black

+Matthew Ritchie why?

+k dot The song, although he never officially stated the meaning, is very obviously a song of lost love. With lyrics such as "I know some day you'll have a star, in somebody else's life, but why?" and then any show from 1992 you'll hear him sing "we belong together" although that isn't on the album version. So as far as I can tell, Eddie lost someone in his life that meant a great deal to him, that really hurt him when she left, and that's clear in some performances, Drop In The Park, being on of them, where in two parts he stops singing out of pure emotion, and even says before they play it "we stopped playing this song, because it's just really hard to sing it". I think because of all of this, this is the song he's talking about here, it's clearly a very strong, emotional song, and I think it hurts him when he has to bring up these feelings of pain, and possibly regret every night. Hope this answers your question!

Matthew Ritchie yeah that makes sense and is probably right. some other guy said Alive and I just don't see it. he said black was fictional but yeah it's clear that Eddie ties a lot of emotion with that song and I actually didn't know he said it was hard to sing so that furthers the point. I also don't see Pearl jam making a fictional song about lost love.. just doesn't fit them and especially considering how emotional and well written the song is. I agree it was probably black he was talking about

Not trying to offend anyone but who is the song supposedly about? Wasn't he with Beth at the time when black was released? But weren't they together for over 10 years too at the time? so it makes no sense to me about him singing from a lost love saying 'we belong together' 'why can't it be mine' when he was already in a committed relationship. Idk I'm stupid for asking lol

What makes you think Black is fictional? Ed always said it was the fragile one, that if you played it on the radio between hit number 1 and hit number 2 it would be crushed. He said it was something he really felt when he wrote it and still feels every time he has to sing it. He still gets emotional when he sings it even now 30 years later.

@@leinonibishop9480 his relationship status at the time. He was 25 and had been with Beth since he was like 16

He had another girlfriend before Beth that supposedly broke his heart, Liz something. There’s no way to tell how long ago he actually wrote Black either. Maybe he and Beth had problems also. All we can really go off of is what he’s actually said in interviews about the song. Also it’s funny and cool that you responded since your original post was so long ago. The algorithm is a strange beast.

@@lavendar555 again, given the facts of the matter, extremely unlikely.

Woah, someone is angry... Thank god they decided to get out of the basement :)

LadyZepp So am I… That’s why he shouldn’t have made these types of comments for so long because I know deep down he is happy he did it too

Jesus christ, did you actually listen to what he just said? If you think he was just playing around, it's stupid. The only reason he was doing it is music itself, it always been this way, and it's the reason why he's still alive and loved by millions. People wanted too much from them at the time, as he said they didn't change at all, it's people who changed their attitude towards them and started treat them the way they did. Eddie and all the guys from PJ always stayed true to themselves.

@@LadyZepp Ed was so happy go lucky until it was time to play a role and not be so happy go lucky. FACTS!

@@travzimmerman1340 All humans play a role since they are born, the point is that he was not an actor, and this is one aspect of him that attracted so many people to him, his raw spontaneous honesty, it is this spontaneity that made him different from other famous people. The older he got the more honest he's become, which has been gradually more evident over the years. It is the reason why he fired Dave as well, because he did not wanted his innocence to be taken advantage of like they did it with Kurt. He is a survivor in a way.
