Q. What is your side of the story about why Live disbanded? Do you ever foresee working with your former band mates again?

A. I had simply come to the end of a chapter in my life and wanted to spread my wings and move beyond what I had been doing, in the same way, for almost 20 years. As far as the allegations that were leveled at me and purported as the reason for the breakup, they were all absolutely untrue. I have no plans to work with those individuals again. The spirit of Live is alive and well in my performances and my new material — come and see for yourself.

It's like a catch 22.

If the reason he moved on from Live was to branch out and do his own stuff, then why is he relying so heavily on all things Live related?

It brings us back to that wonderful video where Ed was interviewed and asked the hard questions by that European guy and he kept stumbling for an answer. He tells the interview the whole thing against him was a lie (oh wait sorry, a "mischaracterisation" which technically means that it's not that everything he was accused of didn't happen, it's that he has reasons for why he did it). Ed then stumbles for an answer for a bit whilst you can see him stalling inwardly going "shit shit shit, need an answer" and then it dawns on him what to say ... that him deciding to leave Live wasn't a very popular decision, implying that this is what started CCP's campaign of lies.

Can anyone honestly believe after reading all of CT's blog about how downhill everything went in the final years of Live that at the end CCP were threatening that if Ed left they would start slinging shit?
It sounded more like CT was hoping the plug would be pulled but didn't have the heart or strength or courage or whatever to end it himself. So when the rug was pulled out from under him I can only imagine a big sigh of relief. But of course it would be mixed feelings. But I just refuse to believe that Ed's "unpopular decision" was what caused CCP to go on the attack.

The difference between CT and EK is that CT knows when he's done fucked up. He posted a public attack on Ed. He then later said he regretted it. He said it should have been kept private. (Personally I don't agree, I thought it was fantastic). EK just keeps getting more and more caught up in his own contradictions.

I'd love the chance to interview him.

heyhey, not just European, he was even Dutch!

No, but seriously, he was the only so far to ask REAL question that got to the core of this whole case.
I honestly think that there are rules and restrictions before every interview that Ed gives in which is stated he don't want to talk about specific matter, just thate he wanted to close a chapter...

But believe me, sooner or later, someone will ask questions again, and Ed just can't get away with how he acts now. He just f*cking denies his former bandmates existed or created music with him or still alive. It's just all f8cked up, just speak the truth for once, Ed. But as I say, the truth (whatever that may be), will come out in public: sooner or later.
