Ed Kowalczyk working for LIVE Reunion?! Options

[SJN1279]

Kowalczyk said he left Live in 2009 because he needed a creative spark. But the band has not been pleased. Just last week, Live, which has a new singer, filed a lawsuit, trying to prevent Kowalczyk from using the Live name.

“I don’t take any of that seriously,” said Kowalczyk, referring to reports of discontent. “I mean, the fans obviously are interested and deserve some sort of reunion with the four original members. And I’m still working for that.”

LOL.

Nick wanted to be "counted out" and Ed wanted to "move on", yet here they both are wanting a Live reunion?

I wanted to be counted out of a version of LIVE with a new lead singer. I always said that having Ed perform solo acoustic coupled with full band LIVE shows is the best option.

Ed never closed the door to a LIVE reunion. Neither did CCP. Didn't Chad Taylor say that the door is always open for Ed to return? Or was he just being manipulative as well?

You're not one who takes facts and digests them well, so you'll never know.

I know this, returning has many concessions attached to it. I would bet dollars to donuts, Ed would simply continue using the Live mark to exploit then wanting to give back control and return to the 100% collaboration of the roots of Live. He's changed way too much, the other 3 not so much at all. So why would any long time fans of the band want to return to SFBM and the years leading up to it? We're all at odds over the direction, music quality and collaboration of what Live really is. We have the new Ed centric fan and those who long for total collaboration.

Shinn will give the fans this in perpetuity. He is a big fan of Live way before every being asked to join. He gets it (and happy birthday to him)!!!

New Live music has been made and Ed wants to interject his control again.
