Guess It Was A Good Day

“Honest Man” debuted on Yahoo! And The Gracious Few inked its deal with V2 to distribute the album in Europe. The team continues to grow and we'll announce the North American Tour tomorrow. There is a killer sponsor in the works to which will allow us to further expand the promotion and most important, the fan experience (yeah, more free stuff).

I got a note from my longtime friend Frank Ferrer, who previewed the album – he’s in a little band called Guns N’ Roses – Frank says

“Fucking slammin'....

Fuck... Zep son,

Killer. I love it. Rocks. Sick son....

Major Congrats..lets play show together!!!”

What can I say GnR and TGF would be a dream come true for me. Ya, never know.

I’m rambling but I wanted to share a good day with you….PLEASE stay tuned for the tour dates. I really can’t wait to rock your world.

Did he thank Ed K. in helping TGF get signed to V2?

Has Ed thanked him publicly for anything recently?

Your utter hatred for the rest of Live is really, really sad.

Almost as sad as Chad Gracey's hatred for Ed via Facebook? What about a good number of people's hatred for Ed on FansofLive?

CG has stated reasons for his dislike for Ed, it's not like he's making stuff up, although you probably think he is.

I can't believe you're now actually trying to say that TGF's success in Europe is all down to Ed. you are a complete idiot, this rates up there with the stupidest things you've ever said, and that's a tough list to get onto!

Alive's success played a bit part of it. TGF released the Honest Man single on Netherlands Itunes without V2, and that shows that V2 signing was unexpected and only was made possible by Ed's CD selling well.

V2 signed Ed K. first because they knew his album was going to do well. TGF is a much bigger gamble in the Netherlands.

sorry for the consecutive post - but where's your proof here?

How is it that you can assume (and no matter what you suggest, it will really always be your assumption by my estimates), that Ed is responsible for any TGF deal or future deal just because TGF signed an agreement with V2 AFTER Ed?

What utter drivel.

Get over yourself dude. Stop trying to compare Ed and TGF (or even Ed and LIVE), because it isn't even the same music anymore. We're here for the music and the banter, but this ugly competition you're once again starting to yield is trash and disrespectful to the posters on this board and the band we're all here for: and that is LIVE (in case you missed it).

Oh and, no matter how much you might want to believe it, LIVE was CT, CG, PD and EK. EK without the other 3 is and always will be just EK.

Edit: To comment on OTD's OP: I think it's awesome how CT and TGF in general are keeping us up to date as to how things are going with regard to the conclusion of deals and putting the album together. From the get-go of hearing the CT riffs all the way through the rough material like Ramius, to the workmix of Appetite and the Honest Man and Crying Time, it's almost as if we have been along for the ride with them.

It is a great story that I'm sure we will be discussing here in 10 years time.
