I didnt hear Kev say yes get back together, the DJ did. Kev said 'work it out' which means fix their differences.

He's not going to get in between thier differences. There are relationships here. I don't know Kev's real feelings about Ed, so why would he benefit of blasting him on the air. Kev is a straight shooter but w/o knowing how he feels.....why cause a rift. Go read his comments here about the future show.

Wait... are you saying I'm causing a rift by giving my opinion and wondering why no one is jumping on KM for his comments?
So be it, a rift causer I am.

OutToDry has stated several times on these message boards that if Ed wants to come back it's up to him, the door is open. Now here is Kevin saying that he is telling the guys to "work it out" because they were a great band. And Kevin said he wants them to "work it out" a month after he announced Shinn as Live's new singer in York.

My point, and the reason that I wrote that long story about the ex-girlfriend and the new girlfriend, is that this is not how you make Shinn and the fans feel that the door has been closed, the band has moved on, and they have a new lead singer. A new lead singer should mean that they are done with Ed and they will not take him back as the singer no matter what happens, because his role as lead singer is over for good and they have a NEW lead singer now.

That has to be the message in order to move forward and for fans to fully accept Shinn. Otherwise it is a farse. A Plan B. A placeholder. A waiting game until they patch things up. The reason that I posted that ex-girlfriend thing is - how would the new girlfriend feel (and how should my friends and family accept her) when my close friends are telling telling me to "work it out" with the old girlfriend and my friends like OutToDry is out there saying that it was all the old birlfriend's choice and my door is open to her and all she needs to do is decide to move back in.

P.S. - I don't have the tenacity to weed through OutToDry's 10,000 posts to try and find those comments, but I remember responding to them when they were made with some level of discomfort because OutToDry has given many indications in this board that he is more in the know than most of us and so I take what he says without any grains of salt.

My point is that if Chris Shinn is the lead singer of Live then I want to be fully vested with no looking back. If there is not a 100% commitment to him by the band, then I don't want any of it.
