I chose Ed of course.

And now we are back to the same old Ed doesn't sound the same argument...

No, Ed will not ever sound the same as 1997... and who EFFING CARES?!

I'll use The Cult as a comparison. Ian Astbury doesn't sound the same as he did in the eighties, but if you saw them out on the road with GnR this year, or were lucky enough to catch them by themselves, as I was, Ian still rocks. Their latest album is not the same as theirs were in the past. I don't care. They still are amazing & the latest album is a good, solid one.

My point is, stop over analyzing and be thankful that Live 1.0 is returning to us. If they put out a rockin' album, shut up and have fun and relive your younger years. We are LUCKY that we have all 4 original members!! We should be so thankful for that. Do y'all not realize how rare it is to have a 30 year old band with all original members!? The Cult sure doesn't.

Yes, I know all the Chris lovers are going to argue back, but Chris sounds better, blah, blah, blah. IMO, Ed on his worst day was better. You can feel any way you like, but you have to admit, that if you truly love your band, you will appreciate that all four are back together, instead of whining.

I'm not a Chris lover, and I'm done making my point. Ed's voice wasn't my main issue. It's the type of music he creates now. There is no denying the drastic change in lyrical content/style starting in the 2000s. Him sounding different is as much, if not more, the result of his stylistic choices, not physical limitations.

I've said it before, I have no interest in nostalgia acts, only the creation of new music. For the most part, I enjoyed The Turn. I cannot say the same of V, BOP or SFBM.

You're obviously into the nostalgia acts, so clearly you'd be happy to see Ed back in the mix. I've no problem with that. I saw Live a few times after they released V, and I really didn't enjoy the show. So for me, there is no allure to Ed coming back to Live.
