Chad Taylor - "You ever just totally fuck something up? What does it mean if you do it over and over again? When I get it right, its so right but when its wrong....ahh. Hopefully, forgiveness can work in two directions. If I've wronged YOU, please remember it was only about me. End narcissistic post. "

What does he mean? Could he be talking about Ed???

WTF??

A girl can dream right?

I would be willing to bet real money that this isn't related to Live at all.

But since the subject was opened up, there is no way to spin requesting a "lead singer bonus" as a good thing. Like it or not, this situation with Live isn't unique. In the music business lead singers get more attention, and eventually they go solo because they realize they don't "need" their bandmates any longer. Why share the money? They usually spin it as a creativity issue and then make music that sounds just like what they made with their band, except usually it is LESS creative.

The modern fascination with lead singers is a big part of the reason that the music business is in such a shitty state right now.

And that, my friends, is why Chad's story makes such a great deal of sense.

Just as a point of music history: When was it not about lead singers? Janis Joplin, Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, Alice Cooper, Ozzy Osborne, Michael Hutchence, Mark Bolan, - even Bret Michaels fuck's sake! The majority of bands in the past had a public persona dominated by the lead singer.

If this is about Live, I will die laughing at all the drama that will ensue here.

In the public eye, yes, of course the fascination has always been there.

The difference is that now the contracts for band members reflect that more than they ever have before. Also, going solo and staying solo wasn't nearly as popular back then. The music business was a much different place in the time of the Doors, Sabbath, Joplin, Rolling Stones (okay any time period is their time period, haha).

Everyone is going to be so embarrassed when they find out this post was about going to McDonald's instead of White Castle...
