There ya, go. It's all in the hands of one person now.

I don't believe CT or the guys hate Ed at this point, music is an emotional business and these kinds of things always come and go.

However, Ed's direction hasn't changed. The huge amount of contrast between him and the rest of the band is still present, so it is hard to imagine a reunion going very well at all.

I don't want to see CT stomping and grimacing through LJ while Ed sings the lyrics with a huge smile on his face. I'll pass, thanks.

I agree here. If they get back together for touring purposes only and decide to stay out of the studio then seeing them perform STD where Ed is singing the lines "Hey now we won't be raped" with a great big looking face ... the magic is gone. Sure the musical performance would be 100% better than his current backing band is doing, but the song would just seem soulless.

I've laid out the set of circumstances that would have to happen for me to be positively interested in a reunion. Of course the guys can do what they want, but if it reeks of disengenuine performances/motives or circa SFBM album writing then count me out.

Live ending was like a mercy killing. TGF emerging has given me what I was looking for from Live for so many years. Before TGF I guess I hung on because there was nothing better on offer from them and it was hard to cut the emotional attachments. But now that's done. Of course gun to my head if a Live reunion meant getting back Ed circa 1995 then I'll take it over KM. But I honestly can't see it, nor expect it to happen. So I'm not going to help support, nor fight against a Live reunion. I'll just let whatever happens happen and judge it from there.

I wonder what the reaction of this board would have been if Ed was the one trying to reunite Live?

If he was wanting to reunite Live because he genuinely found the spark he had in the mid 90s and wanted to rekindle his writing partnership with the guys and missed putting in the performances he did in the mid 90s, then I'd be skeptical but I would welcome it. But given Ed's character I couldn't see that being the case. He seems to genuinely think that Grace is a "return to the mid 90s" ... if he thinks that then we aren't getting that old Ed back. So regardless of who wants to initiate the reunion my thoughts on the reunion would be the same.

In some ways I'd rather them continue their own things but I can't deny it would be nice seeing them on amicable terms. It would be nice to see Ed giving a shout out to people to get down and see TGF and vice versa. There would be a quiet artistic dignity about knowing that they're all in a space where working together wouldn't produce the same magic it used to. But knowing they were able to repair a broken friendship would be a nice thing.

I know that Nick thinks that Ed shouldn't do this because CT and CG ripped on him publicly. I still maintain there was nothing wrong with that. But really, where is this Christian forgiveness from Ed to forgive his brothers for speaking out and give them a shout out?
Surely he couldn't be bullshitting this whole Christian act could he??
