Don't you have be a celebrity to get on the show. Ed hasn't been one for several years.

I've been a fan since 1990 when a buddy of mine in college let me listen to a bootleg cassette tape of this new band called LIVE. I don't even think Mental Jewelry was released yet, but I was an instant fan. When I first heard some of the leaks of Deep Enough, I was excited about V coming out, only to realize the hard driving version I had heard was replace by an entire Pro-tooled album that was so over produced I could barely recognize my favorite band. It just went downhill with few bright spots.

When I first saw Ed's site, couple or so months ago, I thought that was cool he's sorda doing his own thing, but when I started reading some his posts, I thought to myself, "What's the deal with guy?" I wondered if anyone ever counted the number of "lol's" he posted. He seems to have become a cheap imitatation of himself hawking mugs, coffee, and other things that would seemingly be beneath him.

I love music and I hate to admit it, but I do take it kind of personal. I used to hope that one day it would just be the four of them getting back to the place that made them great. Now we won't be hearing anything from them again. I've talked about this whole thing with several friends over the past days and no one seems to even know or remember who they were. How sad that one of the all time greatest bands could become so completely irrelevent. It's about the band, not the individual. There's plenty of precedent to relfect upon about that very thing and what happens when one or more members lose site of that. It's shame that Ed's own arrogance could make him that blind for all these years. Each successive album being less and less well received by even the hard core fans. They certainly weren't making new fans. You'd think Ed would have seen that and thought long and hard and have a reality check about where he needed to be.

At this point, I don't give crap anymore. Ed can LOL himself to oblivion on his site hawking coffee cups and he can continue writing songs about rivers, butterflys, and unicorns and singing falsetto. I'm done as a fan. I'm anxious to hear the new TGF stuff. That I can wait for.

Was there an early, demo-version of Deep Enough that sounded different?

Yes there was. It was very guitar heavy. The V album has 2 versions and those are both different from each other, plus the original version
