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

[i_live_life]

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.

More from CT:

Chad Taylor - I saw a comment above about Ed using Live as it relates to his pride in the band and his history with us. This isn't a relative point in the eyes of the government and a federally protected trademark. If Ed were the former employee or owner of Apple and left for IBM, the later would have no legal right to use the mark. The key word as I understand things is mark. Ed might as well trade under the brand Starbucks; he does sell coffee right? I simply don't want fans thinking that its a LIVE associated concert/product when's its not. The same would be true for Starbucks. The names, images, likeness and copyrights of Live are federally protected properties, all of which have been attached to third party contractual obligations at some point in time. Our administrators, advisors and legal team are literally experts in these areas and MUST follow the guidance of the law and contractual obligations to protect this mark. It's not as simple as just letting Ed use the mark and assuming all will be forgiven. In spirit - CT

Chad Taylor - When I took a jab at those lyrics, I'll be the first to admit that the comments were out of place. At one time I waited like every great Live fan to see what new twist or turn the lyrics would take. I've never said I wasn't a fan but all artists have their funny moments. In fact, great artists are BRAVE enough to stand naked in from of the classroom and be judges. They are actually willing to go so far that they might actually suck (this is an old rant of mine. Sorry for those who've seen it before). At some point the music when from the bombast of White Discussion to safe mainstream pop. I'm personally not a fan of the later. Remember I'm only 25% of the vote/process. Doesn't mean I'm going to always have it my way. In a good band you truly take the good with the bad. So sometimes you've got to let your guys get their shit out even if you don't like it. I supported my guys 100%; even if I didn't always like it. That's a brotherhood in my mind - CT

Chad Taylor - Sorry about the typos. My iPhone loves to make up her own.

hey mr frivelous sjn, eat a fat one.
