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.

Believe was not impressive, and Honest man was substantially better..that being said, Ed's last solo album showed some potential to write better songs and melodies...it was light years ahead of SFBM and his first solo album

Ok, I must admit I did not listen to Ed's last solo album. I was too disappointed having paid for his "Alive" CD...

Anyway, I would feel it much more coherent for both parties to continue on different roads knowing how much they became musically different over the years. But even if creating some different kind of music, Ed and CCP could still find some peace again as both groups of fans could.
