this whole break up thing...TGF vs EK Options

[zmanpga]

1st off...if TGF or ED thinks I am going to take sides and choose one or the other ...they r Fking crazy....this is the best thing that could have happened to this band and as a fan of the "whole" band..I am not going to choose sides...I am going to enjoy the 2(bands) going at each other for how ever long it lasts, and I say "they will bring us some great music"...listen to what we have heard so far....awesome..sorry guys...now lets buy some tickets!

reading some discussion on eds fb page asking why the split. This one takes the cake. Guess people see things way differently when they're hanging on Ed's schlong in light of th reason the band gave.



<H6 class=uiStreamMessage>Erik Pleuss I think that the other guys are being a bunch of babies. They rode on Ed's back for a long time and he made them very succesful. They are a great band and they deserve credit, but Ed was the force that propelled them. I think that Live's biggest mistake was getting rid of Michael(?) Railo on keyboards after the "The Distance to Here" tour. I do not know if that was a band decision or if it was Ed alone, but I felt like they lost something so special. Also, their next record "V" was a fucking disaster, except for the three songs that were written for "The Distance to Here" . Anyway, "Songs From Black Mountain" is an awesome album lyrically. Ed's vocals were amazing but the band seemed to have just phoned it in. Anyway..Peace Love Truth and Light to all</H6>April 27 at 10:52pm · Report

This Erik guy needs to brush up on his Live history. Railo did not leave after The Distance To Here tour. He remained with the band during the recording of V and subsequent tour. In fact Railo was a major contributor to the sound of V that Erik seems to despise so much.

I'd be interested to know which 3 tracks from V he thinks were written for TDTH...

I'm guessing Overcome was one of them as we already know about that one being around before V. The other 2 .. no idea.

His analysis is hilarious though haha the other guys "phoning it in" for SFBM, the writing credits are all to Ed so there didn't seem much for the other guys to do but play the phoned in music that was written for them.

quite sure "Nobody Knows" was one as well, as they performed the song in 2000 already. Not sure tho.
