We all leave out verses. When I was a kid, the radio left me searching for words to songs. The passion was enough to move me as I sang along to my favorites!

Eddie is the guy who never leaves out his heroes ...playing humbly to the songs that got him where he is. Always moving and emotionally "feeling" the words that brought him this far.

He is a true artist in every sense of the word picking up his guitar and playing spurred on by emotion...NOTHING BETTER THAN THIS!! ....THIS is a GOOD man!

Vedder's the only person I can think of who can nail Springsteen tunes. He has a great voice. Much better than anything all these ramdom assholes on Youtube who butcher Springsteen's songs

@KleWdSide yeah man right on, people who like playing bruce springsteen songs for fun and aren't as good as bruce himself are assholes? you're clearly a stroke

[Tigerpuffer]

Could someone tell the random Youtube assholes to stop comparing us? We are all musicians who respect eachother, all are very good friends, and all make different kinds of music, so it makes no sense to compare us and put our fans against eachother.

Thanks,

Eddie, Bruce, and Bob :)
