Hi All- I haven't been here in a few months, and I'm scouring the board to put the peices together regarding Live's undoing... everything from the Ed solo stuff, The Gracious Few, and the dissappearing friendsoflive.com website. Can someone summarize what's going on? I'm interested to hear the comments of the Live members regarding the "hiatus", but it's hard for me to track down all the various facebook and twitter posts.

Based on some of the comments I'm reading from the Chads and Patrick (quoted here on the message boards), it sounds like they did feel constrained and maybe weakened by the direction Ed wanted the band to go. I think this is confirming what we all thought starting around 2001 - that the direction of the band was changing and not everyone was on board. We all knew that something was different about V - and they only went further in that direction for BOP and SFBM.

As a fan, I'm interested to know the dynamics. Though I bet after we hear Ed's new solo album and TGF's album, we'll have an idea (not that we don't already). That should be fun. Here's to new things. I'm looking forward to following both Ed and TGF.
