The Songwriting of Live Options

[SJN1279]

In Ed's head, he is talking about how he has changed from rock and roll excess to finding god/family. Many of us here twist it into him singing about how he has changed to become a guy who backstabs his friends CC&P. This is probably the clearest way I can explain it here for someone who is new to the board

CCP had no problem taking 75 percent song writing credit and money for songs that Ed basically wrote 100 percent himself. I think that is a pretty crummy thing to do to a friend.

POD is a much better song all around. You're back on your money grubbing angles again.

I've stayed away from this virtual shit hole for a while, but I had to log back in just to agree with this. Those scintillating bass lines, those haunting guitar chords, the steady march of the drums... and then the explosion of beauty in the choruses. Bitchin' song.

Plexiglass has nothing to with Gracey practically taking 25 percent of something he had little to do with.

And I had to log in to respond to this cock-sucked bunch of non-sense.

The idea that Chad Gracey "didn't write anything" is pure unadulterated bullshit. Every beat and rhythm on those Live albums were *written*. His drum parts are every bit as much apart of the songs that were written as any notes, chords, melodies, or harmonies. It's in the fabric of the music. Another drummer would've come up with different parts, changing the dynamic of the songs completely and thereby changing the impact the songs would've had.

Not that it would make any difference because you'd still be lying your political ass off, but it's so obvious that you aren't a musician it hurts deep inside... inside the place where shit is churned and pushed out my ass.
