Let's Speculate Options

[LiveForNow]

Let's pass the time by speculating about the various reasons Live might be so silent. Here are my guesses:

-The Live business entity is entangled with the UFD fiasco, and they need to untangle that.

-CG previously called the pandemic a plandemic. Perhaps he is refusing to get the vaccine, and Ed and/or the others won't tour with him because of it. The Offspring recently booted their drummer for not getting vaccinated.

-The band is fighting again.

-Ed, CT, or PD is paranoid about Covid and won't go on tour until it's gone.

LiveForNow, get out of my head. All of your thoughts are essentially mine. Well played. That said, comments below.

-The Live business entity is entangled with the UFD fiasco, and they need to untangle that.

This is a big one for me, and probably why everything is so under wraps. Even Loy hasn't posted squat in months. There's gotta be a gag order or lawyer somethings going on.

-CG previously called the pandemic a plandemic. Perhaps he is refusing to get the vaccine, and Ed and/or the others won't tour with him because of it. The Offspring recently booted their drummer for not getting vaccinated.

This crushes me. They've all got families and kids and need to be careful. I just left my band last week because I'm high risk thanks to Covid and didn't want to be the one holding them back if they decide to play before I'm ready. I'm still up for playing and recording music; just from the safety of my home.

The comment about The Offspring is complicated. Pete backed out because he has an ailment that is potentially affected by the vaccine and after talking to his doctors, he decided it wasn't worth the risk. Josh Freese is taking his place on the upcoming tour.

-The band is fighting again.

-Ed, CT, or PD is paranoid about Covid and won't go on tour until it's gone.

I think these are related. The band is fighting about Covid and their legal matters, and they aren't doing anything until both are resolved.

Essentially, they're screwed right now.

I really hope that CT, ZL and Ed are writing content on their own and when all the nonsense is lifted they hit the ground running, as Live or otherwise. I just can't see how such creative people that have jobs to make music and entertain people can sit around their houses for 16 hours a day and watch paint dry for the last 17 months and have ZERO to show for it. I'm sure at the beginning they needed the time off, but now? Come on.
