IF they reunite, some thoughts from a long-time fan Options

[But Not Broken]

Hi fellow fans,

I’ve been a long-time forum lurker and an even longer Live fan.
However speculative, talk of a reunion has got me very excited.

Following are some thoughts, in no order. Posting here because I’m curious how others might feel.

IF they reunite:

1) I hope it’s authentic and not because both sides are out of options and/or need to promote an anniversary release. I want Live to reunite because they want to be Live again, even if just for a little while.

2) I hope each member feels good about the reunion. I’m just a fan so it would be silly for me to say something like “Member A needs to apologize to Member B for X,” because I know nothing first hand. I just hope that those who feel they are owed apologies are given one, and those who carry even the slightest guilt or remorse can find the courage to come clean to their brothers. The past can’t be undone, but love can be recognized, and camaraderie reignited.

3) Maybe invite Shinn to duo on one song on one tour date. Yeah yeah probably not practical, but could be a nice gesture.

Until anything official, this is all nothing more than a rumor. But it’s a rumor I so badly want to believe, because, despite everything and however faint, I believe the possibility is still alive: My favorite band of all time can take the stage and perform again like my favorite band of all time. Even if just for a little while.

interesting chatter going on here.

Hmm, not sure how this thing would go off if it really does.

what is the actual number of people that would actually feel this would be just like every act out there doing shows because it pays to be a 70s 80's 90s act? It's popular and hip I guess.

New tunes, that would be kinda of well...interesting.

Last time Ed half-heartedly collaborated with CCP, we got that churchy lyrical attempt called 'Believe'. The TGF offering of that arrangement was miles superior in quality and full of rock your face off......BALLS!!

I'd be on the fence to see what kind of chops Ed can put against CCP these days. My bet it never sees the light of day if they write a new song and it just doesn't pass muster. But, i guess it's debatable on many levels.

Will the entire fan base be open to this reuniting??? I am on the fence and i am sure many are not except those in favor of Ed coming back and newer fans who never got the chance to experience the full monty of LIVE from 91-2000. I know that old era is def not able to be reproduced. I just can't see Ed going all angst and lower register ever again.
