  • I would give up a few things I love to hang out with Eddie! cool bastard!!!!

  • Well, ok. I don't belive in god. But I believe in Eddie. Because he's real. So. Where does that leave me?

  • where can i find the full episode, been looking for a while now... any help would be appreciated :)

  • Maybe tow in you have time to think but paddle in over 15 feet its like geeting the elevator cable cut and your going down.

  • Now if Eddie could only write that song..

  • WOW. That's some DEEP STUFF, dudes. Glad such a short clip was presented to highlight the HIGHER points of the conversation... I mean, I can dig the content, but woah man, where is the context? Not flattering, dudes... [cough cough cough]

  • @troutfur suck some dick dude

  • yah what are u guys smoking?

  • turn off the computer. stop worshiping other humans. learn to surf. start your own rock band. preach elsewhere.

  • @rodge2001 My car moves itself while I'm shopping

  • @Tom6093 is that cuz you ride a donkey? i have no idea what you're talking about.

  • @rodge2001 Lol. My friend was playing Grand Theft Auto, San Aundreaus . One of the girls walks by and says it just randomly out of no where. It cracked me up . Theres no Donkeys in NY .

  • wtf? Eddies voice is normal

  • i think vedder retains his hick accent here. sounds like a gas station attendant

  • q guapo eddie

  • When I have too much coming at me, a particular piece of music, a few lines of a book or a poem.., anything of beauty or interest can do the same for me. Almost in a matrix type way, everything slows to a manageable level. Not that I live in their world by any means but I get where Laird Hamilton was coming from, that's for sure.

  • so is this show basically about haveing famous people chill with ordinary people ?

  • ahm, besides they are talking about interesting stuff and you learn to know them a bit.... Laird Hamilton is someone like a famous surfer? And Eddie...you should know better ;)

  • @incubusjane

    Laird Hamilton is the greatest surfer in the history of surfing.....And that is a fact.

    Laird Hamilton is the best at what he does. Now Eddie, though I love him and his music, cant say the same thing.

    Give credit where its due.....Laird is unbelievable. He surfs waves that NOBODY else will. He ties his feet to the board, because he knows if he falls, he's dead anyways. Go watch some of his videos on You tube, and you will see.

    Sorry bout the rant, but Laird rules.

  • @PeonSanders911 The show is called Iconoclasts, about people who don't follow the established rules for what ever is it they're doing. I don't know much about hamilton's surfing style in regard to bucking trend--but pearl jam is one of the first bands to refuse to do music videos at a time when record companies thought that was the only way to make money. They fought ticketmaster to stop them from gouging fans too. They're actually grateful to their fans, which is rare.

  • @carlynr427

    Please dont think i was putting down Eddie or Pearl Jam.

    I am a huge fan, and respect the hell out of them.

    Was just commenting on a eariler post asking about who Laird was.......

    At what Laird does...he is the best in the history of the world.

  • @PeonSanders911 Laird is not the greatest surfer in the history of surfing, he is the greatest BIG wave surfer in the history, and THAT is a fact.

    He is the best at big waves, not surfing overall.

    You are blind.

  • @MrBill876543 by ordinary people, do you mean the camera guy in the back seat? what the fuck is an ordinary person? i thought we were all equal.

  • Can I get in the back seat and Paddle out with Ed and Laird

  • Loooolllll. ha

  • Damn, wouldn't that be freaking awesome!!!

  • reminds me of point break

  • "not only is he one of the most intelligent human beings, the fact that he is the rockstar of our generation, and he has no pre tense what so ever.."

    Josh Brolin

  • couldn't stomach it for more than 20 mins but came looking for it again on youtube?

  • guys you need someone to drive so you can chat without distraction. Call me!

  • eddie just looks so hot in this clip

  • lance b,you are my DUDE.Regards R.K

  • (edited) hmm i was wondering what the hell was that droning sound @ 15 and then i realized it is the ridiculous massive tires they put on those vehicles in maui.

    laird, mr ecoist , send a message. Get a diesel truck, run biodiesel, and tame a move to use environmentally friendly oil in those two stroke, exhaust spewing, noise polluting wave runners. yeah and get someone to make some sort of " exhaust muffler" for them as well.

    make change laird, and affect others that look up to you.

  • @wildwindsca - Those tires aren't big at all.

  • Very cool! what a great perspective on life, I wish I had it.

  • that was such a stoner conversation lmao

  • thank you...this meant a lot to me...the double rainbows...and the part about not being equipped to be a normal person...

  • Is this part of a larger episode?

    M mean they didnt just talk for 2 minutes and that was it or was it?

  • It was a full length Documentary, Eddie gets smacked in the head by his surfboard and Laird scares the crap out of him at the edge of a cliff. Really good show

  • thx!

    I found out about this show and that it is shown on sundance channel.

    I'd love to see the show, i checked the preview of other episodes too, like the one with Richard Branson or Bill Maher.

    But i live in germany, so it is almost impossible to get ahold of the show, also because it is not that well known.

    Right now the only chance is to try the itunes store, but that might not work either.

    Some shows can only be watched/bought if you have a itunes coupon from the US.

    I'll give it a try.

  • i tried it aswell.. it didn't work.:( ii want to see the hole episode so bad ..

    i can't find it anywhere .... :( that sucks..

  • it's interesting how most people who watch this vid are mostly eddie vedder fans. i watched this because of laird hamilton and don't know much about eddie vedder, but respect his music. just an interesting observation...

  • When I saw this on sundance it was because of Laird..he gets a free backstage ticket, from Eddie, then rides his bike 50mi to earn it. Laird knows aloha!

  • "It actually affects the passage of time"- omg Eddie you would say that

  • this is exactly the idea of ´´ live for the moment´´ . makes me jalous :-)

  • i like the ocean! yay!

  • Is Eddie a very good surfer I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM SURF BEFORE

  • yeah, obviously he he's not in laird's kind of league -but who is?! he's very good, must have been surfing over 20 years...

  • thats great to know I'm not the only person with the song in my head when i surf!!

  • I wanna know what song.. is it a beach boys tune, a bluegrass song or what?Can you surf to wish you were here Pink Floyd? I am impressed with Laird and Eddie V`s repitore~. Its chiller.

  • Is eddie a very good surfer. I have never seen him surf before

  • kinda funny , some of u want eddie to be left alone but still come here to watch his vids .dont blame the hype, u gotta blame urself, they jus bring u what u want to see.

  • Why can't you people just leave Eddie's private life private?!

    Leave that man in peace, for God's sake! He seems happy and enjoys making divine music and shares it with us!

    I respect that man, his band and his music so much!

  • we all love him too and feel connected to him through his music, that's why we wanna know more about him

  • 埃迪是上帝

  • u fail!!! edd finished with beth in 2000...hes now with jill mcCormick and has a child with her

    -Eddie is God

    -Eddie es Dios

    -埃迪是上帝

    -Эдди есть Бог

  • Eddie é Deus

  • listen here potjacklfc! eddie is not married to beth anymore! he has a supermodel girlfriend ya fuckin eejit!

    no he's not an all around genius he's a normal cool dude who happens to be a MUSICAL GENIUS

    what does religion have to do with surfing

  • i don't get all the religous comments

    isn't this just 2 cool dudes lookin for some tasy waves

    jesus fuckin christ

  • 2 gods chillin in a car...

    almost sounds like the beginning of a joke...

  • well here's my American point of view on that jormatauri...fuck off

    Pearl Jam rules...EdVed is Gold

  • keep disrespecting Ed, just keep doing it. The more you disrespect EdVed...fewer and fewer people will give two shits about your humble opinion - which is not humble BTW jormatauri...

  • Dude...they're talking about surfing. Go preach somewhere else...idiot.

  • @morecowbell69 There talking about smoking weed dumbass.

  • @pufunk - Right, They made an episode The Iconoclasts with the greatest big wave surfer in the world talking about smoking weed....

    What are YOU smoking?

  • make comparisons and establish hierarchies is what I consider a very poor knowledge a thought poor

  • Oh man you'll burn in hell, even the Devil has respect for Eddie...

  • purtroppo l'ignoranza contraddistingue anche i tanto famosi e bellicosi americani. La genialità non è dovuta alla materia o alla scienza, è dovuta a ben altro. Per questo, non capirete mai la genialità della poesia.

  • Eddie Vedder e' un poeta!

  • Si, eddie è un poeta. Uno dei miei preferiti.

  • Eddie ist ein guter Mensch!

  • We don't need high school to learn how to live, to learn what is good and what is not. Going to school will not learn us how to feel and how to express our feelings. It will not learn us how to love and who is worth to be loved.

    It is just a life what we really need to build our personalities up. It is pure life and experience, and people that we meet on our way.

  • And it is YOU that is enough to explore to become smarter :)

  • witecek-"Going to school will not learn us"..lmao..Wow.. I guess that is obvious...did you go? I can not believe that some of you Vedder fans actually think getting an education is a bad thing...WTF?

  • Well, if you were clever,you would notice that this sentence has an ending - "Going to school will not learn us how to feel and how to express our feelings".

    Go back to school, sage

  • eeeyyyy.. stop that nonsense arguments of yours.... why dnt we eat,, drink and have some party eyyyy??/ jejejej joke...

  • Eddie is a poet who happens to be a unbelievable musician as well. He is of a rare breed.

  • Yes!

  • where can I get the full episode, . want it so much!

  • tubular

  • Love Eddie's voice, even when he's talkin'.

    Nice vid

  • where can i download the full episode??????'

  • !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This Iconoclast episode was soooo awesome, I recorded it and have watched it maybe 10 times (and, no, I don't have a lot of free time) and shown it to many people. I learn something new every time I watch it. So cool.

  • Could you please tell me which songs of Pearl Jam that they use in this Iconoclasts episode. Its mostly slow songs. Its been driving me crazy. Thanks from Oregon, USA.

  • They play the whole Avocado album...Perhaps you are talking about "Parachutes"? I hope that helped!

  • " Slow" is the operative...

  • I really can't tell wether eddy is smart os dunmb nor a celebrity but hell yeah tronco de musician y big time artist you punks when yo moma was changing ur diapers he was singing f... jeremy

  • You could also smoke pot

  • haha i do the same thing with the songs playing in my head

  • Two exception people talking about the moment and living in the moment. Nice teaser.

  • i wanna be on this show

  • why so much hate?

  • Because we have nothing else better to do and initiating conflict relieves boredom

  • No it doesn't.

  • how many times has he hit his head? the guy rambles on about some stupid shit! or maybe way to much sun on the head!!!!!!

  • All you llama fuckers can go eat a dick!

  • Two very cool, and awesome individuals. Anyone who slams them is obviously jealous!

  • Laird is just the coolest of cool. Wish I could be him for just one day.

  • haha! 15 times a day for a month straight? what a loser! if that dude would shut up, not everyone would know how stupid he really is!

  • what a couple of idiots! when is the wedding supposed to be?

  • ha.."I found the best way to take advantage of Vedder is to give him alittle something, then just jump on him. " ha.I agree

  • Vedder was done 10 years ago? Well thats just what he wants people like you to think. Pearl Jam is as big as ever (In terms of concerts) and they dont even have to advertise one bit to sell em out. The day of the trendy fan is over, and as a true PJ fan, im glad it has.

  • Someone that knows what they're all about, finally! Nice to meet ya!

  • nah vieder is still the man, so he dropped out of high school, people make mistakes.

    Dicks.

  • what?

  • THis was my favorite Iconoclasts. Eddie Vedder is seriously both intelligent and funny. lol. As for "pretension" boy TABWISH, it obviously went over your head, so you think it's "pretension." A word you used incorrectly in your sentence. Learn some grammar.

  • Because he dropped out of high school, he's not intelligent? I know some true idiots who've graduated from college. A college degree is not necessarily the path to enlightenment. On the other hand, I know some people with knowledge that wasn't taught by professors.

  • Astute observation..one is either intelligent or they are not. Eddie V reads, watches the news, keeps up with current events, etc.He might have made some bad choices, sure, but given the current state of education in the US I don't think it was a great loss to his thought process to drop out of public school. Watch the news and note the college educated doing ignorant, unlawful, shameful acts. Not good debate fodder from Tabwish, in my opinion :)

  • There are millions of college students in the U.S today and you base what all students do by a few stories in the news? What do you think the news is going to report, that millions of college students went to school today just like they did yesterday..tune in at 5 for the full story!

  • I have never in my life heard such an ignorant defense for someone(vedder) dropping out of school. You basically, just said its better to drop out of School and not attend college in order to defend Vedder being a dropout..I can see why you are a fan.

  • I can see quaheedus just wanted someone to give proof of E.V's intelligence. He is a true artist, musically, he is a genius. What good is intelligence anyway? America found the dumbest person in their great country and made him the most powerful man on earth. Humans are the most intelligent animals, yet we rape, murder, and destroy our own beautiful planet... E.V. is a decent guy, stands up for what is good, and makes amazing music. Who cares what his IQ is?

  • And who are you to judge?

  • Heard the song "Evolution" lately?

  • i have to intercede here.

    the inquisition? the crusades? do any of these ring a bell? these were be4 statistical genocidal record keeping, so #s might be skewed slightly. more ppl were killed in the name of a christian god in those campaigns then any other war/genocide ever. if each do not top the highest #s individually, then combined they most certainly would. seeing as how they're both over the same topic, your argument holds no water at this point. lying & thieving? do more research on that

  • Deaths by non religious nations/leaders.Japan Killed 20 million Chinese, China- Mao Zedong, no religion killed 30-72 million by murder,execution,famine. Cambodias Khmer Rouge murdered 4,000,000.Vietnamese communist murdered 1,250,000.Korea-Kim Il-sung murdered 1,600,000.Russia-62,000,000 between 1917-1987.Hitler-rejected Christianity and murdered 22,000,000 and caused the deaths of an estimated 60-70 million by starting WWII. All but Hitler and Germany were communist nations.

  • those numbers cannot compare to the ones that are only speculated on by leading historians during the time of the crusades & inquisition. throw in the salem witch hunts and your numbers are only going to grow.

    like i said, while the individual campaigns might not add up to individual wars that have occurred, the fact that all the campaigns were in the name of christianity makes them of the same root, thus beating out any of the numbers on the individual confrontations you've listed.

  • Kerry King puts it the best when he said...."christianity is the biggest brainwashing opperation that is totaly accepted in society." he also compared satanism to christianity and said that "if youre stuck ina room with a satanist, he'll probably mind his own business... but if youre stuck in a room with a christian, within 5 mins he'll try to convert you to his religion

  • Israel is religious, but violence has persisted here for centuries. Ditto for Pakistan. The bloodiest war in U.S.A's history, the Civil War, was fought between people of a religious nation. The Crusades were military conflicts of a religious character by a christian Europe. World War II was fought between nations comprised of religious majorities. And the list goes on. If atheists only ever comprised at most 18% of our population, you can't attribute most of history's violence to these people.

  • Anyone religious or non religious can and have committed violence! To imply that non religious people do not commit violence is absolutely ridiculous! The fact still is, even counting deaths from the civil war(620,000) etc the number of deaths from non Religious nations is 200 million or more. For the record, a am not religious..but I don't lie and can not ignore the facts... what a have given you are basically facts!

  • Please cite your sources. Religious people and agnostics/atheists both commit acts of violence, yes, but what you say is absurd. Those who are not religious commit more acts of violence!? Our population is comprised on roughly 18% nonreligious individuals, and these people are not responsible for over 50% of all the violence in humanity's history. Please cite your sources first before you continue with this argument. It's irrational to assume nonreligious people are more prone to violence.

  • they were probly liberal, they all like to state opinions as facts, and when someone tries to counter them they enforce censorship

  • this is actually untrue, name me a country without a religion?

    All countries have religion even if it isn't widely accepted by the entire country. There is no country of atheists

  • wow, you said the same thing I said :D you were first, of course;) and once again, I completely agree with your point !

  • Thanks! I think all the losers attacking Eddie Vedder in these comments are jealous! All they do is resort to personal attacks against the rest of us. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • and you are so open minded as to what? determine our opinions are narrow minded..hmmm doesnt that make you narrow minded?

  • wow, you don't really know what are you talking about.. and high school doesn't always mean INTELLIGENCE !!

  • ok rain poetry.. keep writing your poetry and falling in love.aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. it raining

    Saw pJ in 96. vit. tour...in nc......they jumped the shark then, when they introduced Gloria steinfuck..commie as a guess loser...good show...to bad eddie vedder is a limousine liberal.. really went over my head.. pretentious..there rain the right spelling..

  • that last message was for dkfansown and rain... and yes I have 2 degrees, so fuck off..

  • dude, keep the bs for the girls you meet.

  • dude, smoke more pot and go suck a dick...cool dude..coooool...yeaaaah..man

  • lol, I'm not you dude.

  • what a waste of time for you.

  • Actually, I can't stand Gloria Steinem (and I'm female), but I still dig PJ & Eddie. Never jumped the shark. The rest of your gibberish - WOW! You are eloquent!!

  • For every singer/musician like Eddie vedder, there are ten thousand other high school drop outs whos band did not get lucky and make it.. they are now using that intelligence to flip burgers...I asked what was so intelligent about Vedder, not for you to tell me there are intelligent people who do not finish high school.

  • Was someone talking to you? I can tell you have no grasp of logic, or are just not reading what I'm posting. Have a fantastic day!

  • The truth is you have no facts to back up why you think Vedder is so intelligent. So instead of answering a simple question you twist things around towards me by saying I have no grasp.I just asked a simple question? What makes Eddie Vedder so intelligent?A question that for some reason you havent one single answer.... Sounds as of you have no grasp... as in, can not seem to grasp the question.

  • Someone tried to say Vedder is smart??? LOL

    Well he is as smart as any other average joe I guess. I have never read or heard anything from him which suggests otherwise. He is a celebrity, and they are certainly not known for their intelligence. Usually they are synonymous with idiocy and recklessness. Vedder seems to have gotten over his drinking mostly, but for his smarts? meh Its sad that kids look up to celebrities, but were payin the price.

  • Yeah they are saying Vedder is so intelligent but can not give a reason why, other than he stays up on current events..or maybe its his "actually effects the passage of time" comment.. lol.. Check out animefangels defense of Vedder dropping out of high school..its hilarious...
