How much did Ed contribute to Live?, Thread #42 Options

Imagine how CCP feel. Above all else they thought Ed was their friend and they gave him the benefit of the doubt for years.

And they let him to the bulk of the work for the band while getting the same pay as well.

How could you possibly know this? Also, how does one define "work" while in a band? Is it who wrote the lyrics? The melody? What about when a band is on tour? They all had to work then, no? Who keeps track of what percent of the work each band member does?

We can all continue to argue in circles, or just be happy that Ed and the new version of Live will be releasing new music and touring in the not too distance future.

Both sides don't have to get along, but the petty fighting is getting old.

I wasn't saying anything for or against Ed. Nor was it for or against CCCP. I just don't understand how you can say something like "Ed did the bulk of the work" and know that it's a fact. There's so many factors to why a band becomes popular that it becomes silly to value any one member over another. I don't think either of us were included in the making of any Live album, so I can't say I know who did the bulk of the work. Maybe it was Ed. I don't think that's likely, but I really don't know.
