The only sour grapes is that a lot of people don't believe Ed deserves any respect. Both by his actions towards his former band mates and the fans but because of the desocration of the history of Live and with the quality of his performances. If Ed had my respect I'd still like to see him do well even if I wasn't digging the new music. However he's lost a lost of respect and artistic integrity in a lot of people's eyes.

Nick you seem to think Ed is "the only game in town", man you really need to expand your taste in music.
If Ed took away a big chunk or all of the Live aspect to his shows then of course his success would suffer, but I'd at least think he'd gain a bit of respect. But it's easy to see why Nick idolizes Ed, they both hold economic priorities well above artistic ones.

Only game in town when it comes to LIVE is what I meant.

Wrong. Ed isn't Live, wasn't Live and will never be Live. There are 3 other people that made up Live that have been and continue to be willing and able to continue Live but Ed wants no part of it. Or more like, he wants all parts of it. You just don't get it.

The other 3 parts of LIVE ripped Ed a part publicly and wanted nothing to do with him. Only once TGF's US tour wasn't as successful as they envisioned, and Kevin started touring with Candlebox again, did CCP start pushing for a LIVE reunion.

Ed and CCP did not get along at all towards the end of LIVE's run. Watching LIVE in concert in 2009 was borderline painful. If Ed is happy touring solo, why should be go back to a bad situation?

Nick - seriously, can you blame them? How would you react if you had been had by Ed like that?

If you don't think he knew what he was doing just go back and watch that interview again where he gets asked about it.

Every member had a role in the demise of Live because of what they allowed Ed to become, but Ed is the wedge that broke Live apart.

I liked Ed just as much as anyone here. I don't mind some of his new material. I just don't get why you don't see what he did and why you blame the rest of the band for feeling unappreciated, upset, and why they are trying to move on.

Honestly, if they just stuck around with him and what he was doing I'd lose a lot of respect for them and Live (it was all going in the wrong direction). It's just to bad they had to tarnish the Live name and release BOP, SFBM and Paradiso before they decided to stand up for themselves.

Nick - It's OK to follow Ed and enjoy what he's doing. If Ed comes around to my area I would be interested in going and would try to enjoy the show.

The differenct is I get it and I don't have the blinders on. Anybody that isn't jaded by Ed at least a little bit is totally a blind fanbody that just doesn't get what he did and what he's become.

All 4 members were responsible for Live's demise, but after 20 years people grow apart and want to explore new areas of creativity. Very few bands stay together as long as LIVE did.
I'm sure CCP have legit reasons to be upset with Ed, but taking airing their complaints via Twitter and Facebook is where my issue was.

Personally Ed has been nothing but good towards me since LIVE's break-up, and his shows are awesome. I have no reason to be jaded.
