Cap




No-name, say, Eddie Vedder?

Who told you they are trying to get Ed back?

SJN1279 ..."CCP with the lead singer of Candlebox wasn't successful from a commercial standpoint. "

The lead singer of Candlebox's name is Kevin Martin. He has had much success with his band/bands. He will have more success doing what he loves cause he kick's ass, He fuking rocks. Fuk your ..from a commercial standpoint comment !

You have proven to be unqualified to comment on these matters. It's not 1995, they're not on a major label with huge backing. In fact, the dynamics are completely different for most acts these days and they do not determine success with widespread commercial success.As versed in music matters as you claim, you should know this.

Heyheyhey! Forever wasn't THAT bad, oke! After SFBM, at least it sounded fresh in some way.
It's not rocking but still nice to listen to. Ofcourse Purifier was much better.

Btw, why is your flag changed into.... Sweden, bro?

An instrumental LIVE album would be very interesting, if it would really breathe the Live atmosphere. But I wonder how it can be a real LIVE sound, after TGF. I mean, put Chad, Chad and Patrick in one room, and what will you get out of that energy...? TGF-music? LIVE-music? Where's the border nowadays?

Alive was #4 in Holland was on their album chart for 12 weeks. Alive peaked at #27 in Belgium and charted in Australia.

The Gracious Few's album didn't chart in any country(despite being on the same label as Ed).

Also, Ed's one show in Paradiso last year outdrew TGF's entire European tour combined handily. TGF's overseas following overseas is almost nonexistent. Whether TGF's album outsold Ed's according to soundscan in the US, I really don't know(most of Ed's sales have taken place at actual shows). However, Ed's album has clearly moved more copies than TGF's overall and he is a much bigger draw on the road.

NOBODY FUCKING CARES! One is actually enjoyable to listen to, while the other makes me want to put a gun to my head.

And one is the former lead singer of one of the most successful 90's bands and one of the most easily distinguishable voices of his time. Yet he's got very minimal commercial success nowadays and by Nicks standards that makes him a huge failure.

He's solo/indie and his album hasn't had a ton of solo success in the US. However, he's drawing solid on tour, and he's doing well enough that he doesn't have to crawl back to CCP.

As I said from the beginning, Ed can downsize to solo acoustic in the US and draw well enough. TGF does not have that luxury. That is why they are trying very hard to open for other (bigger)artists. They simply can't draw enough on the road.

Unfortunately Nick doesn't get this. I like Nick and all, but he doesn't bother to address this because he knows we're all right.

You hold everyone but Ed to some unattainable standard. If you were even half as critical of Ed he'd be a huge failure.

what do you mean by try to get Ed back in the fold?

The Facebook post trying to get fans to reunite Live.

Could be an April fools joke. Could be to get a head count.

Dude, none of these guys need each other or have to crawl back no matter what happens with the music.
