Video Interview with Ed Options

[LivesMeltdown]

I can't watch this at work right now, but I noticed there was an interview uploaded on Youtube today with Ed. I have no idea what is talked about, but I'm assuming it was a recent one and has not been posted. If it has, feel free to delete this thread.

I figure the other threads are getting big, so we can start another argument in this one

Nothing too new here, apparently Ramy "blew his mind" with how amazing his drumming was which blows my mind that he can think this after working with Gracey.

lol so when asked the difference between writing this record compared to Live he said that the difference is when he brought the songs to the studio this time it was interesting to see what the band would do with them. I know he probably means what the band would do with them compared to what Live would, but it also sounds like he's admitting that when he brought the songs to Live that they were then not allowed to be touched by the rest of the band

He also keeps calling it rock and roll

The fact that he keeps saying how he needed to spread his wings from Live and do things his way completely contradicts all the writing credits on the last few albums which tie in which his ultimatum. To me it just reeks of his was sick of the fights in the band that probably arose when people wanted to do something different to what he wanted. Easy solution is start a new band with session musos that you didn't grow up with and don't have to feel guilty going "I'm the star, it's all about me, I'm gonna write it all and have things my way".

It's interesting to hear him say that fans have been telling him "wow you've got that spark back, you've got it back!" because to me that's the exact line that would fit the TGF boys the best

haha he's also completely lost for words when asked about TGF. He can't even say their name, there's no way he's that ignorant about them. For all the pot shots TGF have taken they can still mention Ed in interviews and say he has an album coming out and such.
