Could that be a real post by Gracey or was his twitter account hacked?

Not cool. At all.

Assuming for a second that what was said was NOT from a hacker, does the plexi-glass comment make sense?

How does plexi-glass stiffle sound from a drum kit when the drum kit is mic'd and the members of the band (or at least Ed) is wearing a monitor ear piece? Could the drum level be adjusted for Ed's earpiece output. The acoustic sound level coming from the drums themselves is surely at a level significantly lower than the venue's sound system.

Yeah it does make sense. Plexi glass allows the mics themselves to control all the sound. If you went to a Live show pre-plexiglass and then one after you'd notice a significant difference in how the drums sound in the mix. The plexiglass basically makes them more controllable, and quieter on the stage for the other musicians.

When you are up there, you aren't hearing the venue speakers nearly as loudly as the crowd is, you get a lot more of the amps, drums, etc. The in ear monitors don't cover all that up.

Makes sense. Glad someone responded so quickly. Had the potential "hacker" posted something that didn't make sense that could identify it as a hack. Since this makes sense and is plausible, I'm doubting it was a hacker.

...if it was a hack then they are pretty good. had a 20 minute facebook chat with CG himself last night and he seemed amped about the music TGF will be sharing with us shortly ...as well as there definately being some hostility between themselves (CG, CT, PD and Ed) due to their creative input over the last decade.

You've got to feel for both sides; it could and does happen in every profession, no matter how experienced/successful or whatever you are - you have issues.

i also think everyone needs to vent every now and then. perhaps we need to take a step back from all this LIVE epic-ness and remember that altho they were our band, they're also human beings and go thru shit like we do - and if as CG says all they wanna do is get some ROCK out like they've been dying to do since TDTH, then we should at least let 'em. If that be taking shots at one another - then so be it. They're closer to each other then we all will ever be to any of them, and we have each had a good rant about LIVE in the past and will bitch and moan about them in the future, so maybe we should just let it go and enjoy whatever Ed or TGF has to offer.

that said, not a big fan of SFBM or ed's new stuff either - but will probably buy it to have a listen and am excited about what's gonna come from TGF.

good luck to 'em all.

Like I said, i dont think anyone is disputing the fact CG or any of them can't feel the way they do, but to put it in a public forum reeks of bad taste. You finished that post with "good luck to them all", you'd hope that's what they'd be saying to each other rather than taking pot shots. This sort of stuff somehow seems to cheapen all they've done together, Live were one of the rare bands that seemed to be friends first before a band. I can look back at music by The Smiths and the horribleness of that break up hasn't effected the music at all because they came together specifically to be a band, it was a working relationship. There is a whole different feel with Live and carrying on like this is pretty poor.

Maybe Ed was a total prick and deserves everything CG said, but like I say if you're gonna bring it out in public you gotta be prepared to tell the whole story lest you end up looking like a prick. I'm sure CG could lift the phone to CT and go "lol dude did you see that new Ed song? hahaha" rather than how he did. Of course he has the right to, but he should first consider his own reputation.

totally agree. leaves a bad taste and feels sick. i think we're all looking for ways to reason this behavior.

as entertainers followed by millions (if not just us on this board then the lot at SOY too hehe), perhaps coming out officially and saying... ''look, we been together X number of years, we're buds, but at the moment we just can't stand each other, so we're not making music together as LIVE till we sort our shit out and while we're doing that, we're off to play on the internet together. peace!"

that at least would have been appreciated.

for me personally, we're fortunate we have MJ, TC, SS and TDTH and our 100s of bootlegged favourites (along with the odd song here and there from V till SFBM and Paradiso). When we need that fix, it's right here.

Millions? I am fairly sure Live doesn't have a million fans anymore. Have any of their albums even sold that many copies. Hell, CG only has 450 followers on Twitter even.
