Black has reduced me to tears more than once . Eddie"s raw emotion resonated with me xxx

haha me too

I think Dave is the only person to say anything negative but he was fired so does that count??

And still saying. Can't get over it. It's not as bad as Mustaine about Metallica though.

@@yomamma88Dave is a former band mate so yeah it counts 😊 I know I’m terrible, I just like a bit of drama 🤭😇✌️

Nothing nice.

He's bitter because he didn't stay in the band.

The dude is still sharp when it comes to PJ I've pointed out his fans basically idolise him and bring up PJ literally under every video of him (as if he hasn't done anything but his work in PJ), and he started insulting me He hasn't moved on, and acts pretty childishly as i can say Still love the man, respect his contribution and appreciate how after all the shit he'd thrown at me, he still supported me and my country when found out i'm ukrainian

Are you for real , Vedder fired Dave or rather Vedder got Gossard to do his dirty job...facts

@@mcgseafrass77 I know but the title of the video is "Things Eddie Vedder's Former Bandmates And Collaborators Have Said About Him". Fired or left; Dave was still a former bandmate.

⁠@@mcgseafrass77 They only posted the positive comments by former collaborators & band mates, but not people Vedder screwed over; a la, Dave Abbruzzese.

@@PhantomCounty And ? What's your point? ... I'm addressing the guy who said Dave abbruzzese and I'm telling facts so what's your point or are you just stating the obvious?

Ricky Ramone worked for Eddie for years and claims he was the worse boss he ever had.

His former guitar tech hates him.

@@prestonhicks9752 Hmm... I never heard that but I have heard he is kind of a perfectionist when it comes to music. I could see him not dealing with a bad tech for long, no matter how nice he really is. What's the story anyway there? Something like that or something else?

I've had personal conversations with him he worked for Eddie from 96 to 2013..was his tech every tour all those years. Says Eddie is a drunk and the more he drank on shows the worse he acted towards him . Thrown equipment, wine bottles at him ext..said he should have filed charges on him looking back. I've seen you tube footage of Eddie acting out towards him and that's actually where my respect for Eddie went downhill..and this is coming from a former hard core pearl jam fan...I hate a bully.

@@prestonhicks9752 It sounds like animosity that grew between them over the years. The fact he kept his job for 17 years regardless of that, makes me think that Eddie may be a bad drunk, like many people, but when he sobered up he always came back to his senses. Remember there are always two sides to the story and you were lucky enough to hear one side in person. Guitar Techs are replaceable and I'm sure they could have found another in days being Pearl Jam and all. It sounds like it was kind of personal with them really. I mean that's just my opinion but you have to realize 17 years is a really long time for a band to keep a tech. I am absolutely sure there is more to this story than he told you.

Maybe, maybe not..he doesn't have a reason to lie and has absolutely nothing to gain by telling me the things he has told me...and anyone is replaceable in anything..especially drummers in Pearl jam. I'm absolutely sure that you are probably not liking what I'm saying about Eddie because it distorts everything you perceive about him. I was a huge fan and it did mine. Eddie does good things but he should not be put on a pedestal. Great singer, song writer and entertaining as hell but I think he is a turd. Like I've said not everything is from word of mouth..I've seen him be a complete ass myself to his employee. Totally uncalled for. He should have left the band and pressed charges in my opinion. Eddie should have fired him in private or to his face like a man but instead chose to humiliate him in front of thousands and then didn't have the balls to fire him man to man and had Skully do it. Eddie's politics annoy me too but that's another story..they were anti war and spoke out against Bush in the early 2000s and I agree with them but silent when Obama did the same shit. Obama is responsible for as many or not more innocent deaths than Bush.He was nicknamed the Drone Ranger for a reason. Pearl jam had more dignity when they supported Ralph Nader in the green party. . Agree with them or not at least they seemed convicted...now all they do is lick the boots of Democrats who LOVE keeping wars going and are censoring anyone who disagrees with them. That's not the Pearl jam I fell in love with. They are long gone.

WTF is a Stardog Champion?

@@fumanpoo4725 A wartime hero.

@@fumanpoo4725 The kind that money buys.

PJ had several albums with unique sound 🤷

Yeah I agree

Whats the deal with McCready and vedder?
