Heard all of this except “Go” on my drive home from the cabin today. Definitely some interesting stuff from Stone. I’d love to hear him do this with every album. Jeff’s few tidbits were nice too. Ed ...
We sure have grown up. I totally idolised ed in that period being all true to the music and sleeping in his truck ‘to get closer to the music you can’t make music in all that five star luxury’ I find that totally pretentious and ugly bare icon self marketing now ...biut now we have ed travelling around on private jets and charging €100 a ticket for a show.
They’re both kind of appalling to me now. But in his position now, I would be no different and I guess that’s what rankles
I was at a party in LA about 18 years ago and met a pilot of a private plane. Someone told him that I was a big Pearl Jam fan, knowing he had just flown the band somewhere - he said hands down, they were the best clients ever - famous and not famous - super friendly, talkative and pleasant. He especially called out the "lead singer" as a super nice guy.
My other airplane story - know a guy who sat next to Tim Bierman on a flight - picked his brain the whole flight. Nice convo, etc.

Ah I know. Been lucky to hang out with ed a few times in the last few years. I get it. And the public or our idea of him / them is really different than the reality but it’s bang on the money in other ways. There’s no diva rockstar bullshit. Well, sometimes but when you’re at that level you’re allowed have your demands met I guess.
Gonna go look up my story from last time I spoke to him. Made my year that night did

how many times did Ed beat off when he was living in that sauna thing?

This was really good, and all the better because it was about 85% Stone. It also definitively answered questions I've had for a long time about the primary author of a few songs, particularly Rats (Stone) and Indifference (Jeff).
I particularly liked Stone's musical insights, e.g. how the guitar part of Blood is interesting/tough to get right because he has to lean into the timing during the intro/chorus and switch to a different feel in the verse, and that he envisages the chorus chords of Rats as being kind of Beatle-esque.
Stone clearly cares a great deal about the band's music on a detailed level, which is refreshing and something we don't get insight into very often.
Ed really didn't sound as bad as I thought/feared either. I'd love to hear the version of Crazy Mary they attempted in Ed's sauna/hut thing.
