Chad T has sent a letter to Ed telling him he does not have the legal right to use the name or image for +Live+ for any commercial activity (touring, marketing, branding, etc.) and to stop using it immediately.

Do you know what happened? How was he able to legally retain the name Live and tour without them?

That’s an interesting thing. I have theories about that. Ed has no idea how much money he may wind up owing in a lawsuit after the shit hits the fan. I think that Chad Taylor, being the businessman that he is, saved his own ass and got out. Ed thinks that he won, but I still think we’re going to see some ugly shit from that side.

Man, they really are a toxic bunch. Accusing Ed of shit, they are doing themselves.

Are there other times you felt like, for them, it was only about the money?
Shinn: That show I told you about was a big one. I think working on new material, they had no interest in that. Being honest, Live was about the most un-musical band I’d ever been in. I don’t mean that they sucked. I mean that in the very beginning we made these songs, but it was very haphazard. They wanted that record done immediately. They pushed and pushed and pushed. “We need to get this done.” They were on my ass: “Finish the lyrics, finish this, finish that.” They needed the money.

LOL, now imagine what Ed had to deal with. He had to carry that shit.
