Where is Ed? Options

[Voodoo Lady]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the last time any fan has seen Ed Kowalczyk was the January 14th “Seshin’ With Swami” interview, eh?

He last posted on Instagram (Bernie Sanders TC album meme) January 21.

He hasn’t tweeted since 2019.

And Facebook (I’m not a member) looks to be March 9 (a repost of a canned photo Live’s FB puts out).

He used to be a frequent social media user and he himself occasionally interacted with fans (including me once ).

No one else finds his absence extremely strange and/or concerning?

In the auction livestream, Chad G said they had a light 2020 planned and all the bands going out now are doing rescheduled 2020 tours. Live was planning to write a new record but that didn't happen. Live has stuff planned for 2022, and may do some things toward the end of 2021.

Chad is in York. Talked to Chat T and Pat while in town. Spoke to Ed yesterday on his birthday.

Chad "did not like the second drummer thing."

Live backed out of Aftershock because they were going to play the Arizona State Fair the next day, but the fair got cancelled.

Ha! No shit. I wouldn't imagine the guy who was so anti plexiglass would be pro 2nd drummer.

I'd be interested in his thoughts on the Local717 EP or the whole Loyve thang.

I'd want to know if we, as fans, should ever hope to hear new original rock from the original 4 guys locked up in a room and hashing shit out or if that's something that only has a place in history now.

Didnt they have a 2nd drummer because he hurt his hand? Seems like a weird thing to complain about when he couldn’t perform really.

I'm pretty sure Robin Diaz stayed on until the end of that tour even after CG fully healed, so that could be where this is coming from, but Clint Simmons has been doing "percussion" since 2019, so who knows. I don't think it's necessary, and actually sounds like crap in certain songs, so hopefully we've passed that era.

I wonder who makes the call on that stuff in the band. I guess it's not CG given that comment.
