Chad Taylor makes fun of Ed lyrics, New Facebook post Options

New Facebook post by Chad T:

"I just saw an old Ed lyric and had to laugh my ass off. "Does he run it deep enough for you?" Seriously? And this guy wants back in LIVE? I can hear it now..guys, here's one I wrote about water, "the dolphins make me cry" ...oh shit... That's Hootie!!"

What the hell? Ed makes shitty music and now Chad T acts like a giant douche. I just gave up on my favorite band.

Even though there is no doubt that Ed has done a lot of things wrong it will never justify this kind of behavior. If Ed wants to get back in the band, Chad T could politely tell him to go fuck off, but never post it on Facebook and at the same time mock his lyrics... They act like a bunch of teenagers.

Bad ass post, LiveRocks^

On the flipside, if they had left they'd have given up control of the Live brand and we wouldn't have coming what we have coming. They could could have gone on under a new name with someone else but why should they have had to give up what they bled, sweat, and labored to build up in the first place? Live belonged to each one of them equally as much as it ever belonged to Ed.

Thanks, even more for actually reading all that.

I think C.T would be the first to tell you that his outburst was not well thought out.

But tell me something, is there one person here who hasn't said something before thinking? Because you're a fucking liar if you say you haven't. I'm guilty of this all the time. Fuck, just a few days ago I told the director of my building that I do not respect management there because I find it morally corrupt to sacrifice one's integrity for money. And he shook his head and simply said "touche young man."

I often say things without thinking of thei consequence but that's just me. And you wanna know what? I'm fucking proud of it. Because although I may lack tact in many instances, I tell people what I think without pulling any punches. It gets me into trouble, but in my opinion, is better than a bold faced lie. Better than any future misunderstanding of where I stand.

Dude chose to stay in a band for reasons we know nothing about, with Ed forcing them to go along with no creative input. I'm pretty sure that he's both embarassed and maybe even ashamed of sacrificing his artistic integrity for whatever reason. I'm sure that he's feeling even MORE betrayed now with everything that's happened.

He wears his heart on his sleeve and I admire him for that. Although I cringe at what he says sometimes to the point of feeling embarassed for him. I understand somewhat how he must feel, being burned like this. It hurts deep down and nags at you. It's an ache that is so gutwrenching at times, it overrides logical thinking at times.

Sometimes when the hurt is so bad, the illogical takes over and our actions are left to pay the price. A lack of understanding and disbelief in what somebody is doing to you, is enough to drive some insane at times. Some people can blow it off, some people can't.

I think C.T needs a break from all of this bullshit. Just remove himself from it all, especially this social media crap. Spend some time with his family and getting some perspective on everything else life has to offer him through the people who love and understand him most. I get the feeling that this whole mess has caused him some damage deep down. Like anybody else in his situation, he needs to give himself the opportunity to heal.
