The absence of +Live+, Did anyone else stop listening to Live at some point? Options

At around i'd say 2002-2006 i went through a phase where i just didn't listen to the band at all, i actually went through a hip hop phase during that time. Don't get me wrong i was still a fan but i just didn't crave listening to them at all. I obviously got my passion for the band back, but i did lose it for a long time. I am curious to know if any of you ever went through a similar phase or not, please elaborate.

I did that for a few years after all the drama. I've started listening to them a bit again but sometimes it's almost difficult to list to, knowing what a douche Ed became, both in terms of his bland Jesus-y lyrics and how he treated his three friends from grade school

I've been very much in the same boat as jaybb here. Ed really took a turn for the worse and is a completely person than the one I listened to back in the 90s. Had he not stabbed his friends in the back towards the end of their run maybe I wouldn't feel that way despite the hard left turn the band's direction in music.
