It's here!

This forum is maddening. There are typically two camps here, which are really just two sides of the same coin. One camp is devastated that Ed isn't fronting Live and will be unhappy with anything that CCP does without him, and the other hates Ed and will bash him no matter what. Sure, there are a handful of people who float around in the middle, but it is a pretty non-vocal camp.

The truth is, neither group (Ed solo, and CCCP Live) are going to make a big wave in today's music industry. Those of you who are arguing for or against one of them doing that are deluded.

But Live with all four original members would at least be able to fill 1000-2000 seat venues. 90's nostalgia has been kicking into higher gear the last few years, and Live hasn't been able to take advantage.

Also Live never was able to take advantage of the social media craze. It all ended before FB and Twiiter really kicked into gear. Live has very passionate fans on both sides, together we would make very strong supporters of Live.

Ed K worked hard and through some early bumps to become a successful touring act again solo. Not to the level of Live but on a smaller scale. New Live will never reach the heights of Live from the last decade. They just aren't filling venues in the US, and their album is barely a blip on the radar.

It is a shame they can't get along and do a proper tour, because to steal a term, it is what most REAL FANS would want.
