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.

My bad for helping derail the topic...

I've been as big of a fan of Ed on here as anyone since the split...I know I do not always post that often.

To me, without Ed, you can't have Live. But the same goes for the rest of the band. It is not Live without the 4 of them together.

I would have no problem if they find another lead singer and play Live songs, I would rather they just don't call it Live.

I guess the closest thing I can relate it to was Audioslave. After RATM split, they went out and got Cornell. When I saw them live theoy played a bunch of RATM songs, and it was great. They also played all of their material and I loved that as well.

Now Cornell is out, and RATM is back.

I just think it would not have been the same if they tried to call it RATM all the way through.

I would rather see the guys from Live take this route. Maybe someday Ed comes back, maybe not. Do the guys have the right to go out, find a replacement and call it Live? Probably. I would just rather not see it.

you sure? It will probably never happen with Ed. I think he's burned his bridge in many ways. Why not go see the musical passion.those 3 have....with whomever sings? What if it's better than we heard since the falsetto? Not interested in a seat at the show?
