Ed Kowalczyk interview on WMMR, January 3, 2017 Options

Truly great interview. Ed won me over with that interview. He was very humble. Displayed effusive gratitude toward the fans. Smart, funny, polished interview. Addressed the relationship among the band members and that they patched things up. Discussed the connection to York and their beginnings. How it feels like they are kids again, getting it all back. Revelation - Dennis Redman called them at the studio the other day. MMR asked - can he still push his voice to the limit? Answer - yes. He said he has a cold right now (maybe that answers some questions from the other thread?). He does some things differently and has added some dimension. Question about new projects? They are working on new music. Started in the Spring. No hurry to finish a record. They want to get out and play in front of fans. Festivals were specifically mentioned. They may "drop a few things here and there, maybe this year". Question about recording. Answer - the studio in York is unbelievable. It's like a dream when you are a kid. No pressure to put 12 songs on an album. They can get songs to fans in a quicker way. Maybe just release a song.

Overall REALLY great interview. Really great job by Ed.

I don't get why you guys don't get that The Turn has not been banished from the Live catalog forever. It will be listed and made available again at some point, people! Trust me!! You guys are making a mountain out of a molehill.

Do you know something most of us don't? Coz the way it's looking is that it has been removed from their history. Why would you remove it and then relist it 'at some point'? Doesn't make sense. Acknowledging it makes sense. Did Ed remove his music from sale?

It's common sense, really. It's easy for me to understand the removal of it from an emotional point of view and also the business point of view. Everyone whines about the fact of CCP asking Ed to come back as a business decision. Oh my, what sell outs. But come on, that's human nature. First and foremost it was emotional. The money part doesn't hurt.

Where I live, The Turn was never mentioned on rock radio, nonetheless a song ever played from it. I surmise unless you are east coast maybe, you never heard it on your station either. The average radio listener; the "I only know Throwing Copper" Live doesn't realize a thing. They would see The Turn and be mighty confused.

Let CCP enjoy their honeymoon with Ed. The Turn will get its due. One day it will be back and you will see that even Ed and Chris are friends. This very same situation has even appened with other bands too, folks. Stop overreacting.
