[Tips]

I still can’t understand the rationale of comparing CT and Ed, I really can’t. CT has deceived every single person on the band, which is a fact, and there is nothing factual that Ed has done the same.

I'm not comparing them in any way. Just saying they both fucked other band members over. The way they did it is very different and not comparable, as far as we know. But that wasn't the point at all. If Ed really fired the other guys, which is not just a thing Chris said, from many other aspect it definitely looks like it (and of course Ed's not going to confirm or deny anything as he's a master in pretending nothing negative is happening).

Also also, I've learned that narcissists have a public and private persona and for that reason, any time anyone seems to be a manipulative narcissit, I'm off. I will never ever trust them again. Ed's been in that category for the past 12 years and now Chad is up there. Unless we're presented with cold hard objective evidence of the contrary (not just someone saying one of them's not the problem).

But given what we know, Ed and CT can't be compared and that's not what I did either.

then you haven't been reading this thread or this board very closely. It's totally unacceptable that he forgets the lyrics as much as he does, many of us have been saying this for years. I don't care if he needs to read the lyrics, just don't fuck up i alone every other show.

That's a fucking ridiculous standard. Why? Why is it unacceptable? What does that do?

Also, you do realize that without the internet or the intervention of someone who litterally physically follows them on tour, you'd have never noticed right? Every artist in the world forget lyrics once in a while and that's what it would have passed for had you not watch videos of performance. In all honesty, do we know if Jimi Hendrix kept forgetting a lyrics to the same song over and over? No. But because everything is filmed now, it's a new standard? And for what reason?

But OK, let's say you're a diehard fan and you follow them on their tour. You're telling me you're unable to enjoy the frontman as a whole because he forgets some lyrics? That fucks up the whole experience for you?

And this has nothing to do with defending Chris for me, I'm waaaayyy past sticking up for anyone in this shit show. I'm just baffled at the nitpicking against him.

I personally can't stand it. Many others here agree. If you're singing for the band, that's basically the highest authority for the art. Who wants to pay money to see someone fuck up, or who wants to the the music they love just get defiled like that. Sure, modern technology allows us to consume the art by watching concert footage, and it sucks to see the art get dragged through the mud multiple times. It's awkward as a fan in attendance. It's disappointing when fans are trying to see if the new guy is good enough to replace Ed.
