New Live? Options

[OutToDry]

Saw this from a new poster at TGF:



CT's twitter:

"On the beach. The calm before the storm. Oh & new LIVE material in the works. Can't say what right now but you'll like it! "





Me thinks he's relaxing and came up with a new tune.

I'm not sticking up for him so much as I am shutting you up. You and others are boneheads who hold Ed to 1995 standards, not me. You know that I'm someone who does not believe that Ed's potential was squandered. He can't rock now, and that is how it should be at his age. Nor am I dumb enough to believe that he made devious decisions just because some fans don't like his new direction, or that this unresolved lawsuit means that Ed isn't privy to, or doesn't deserve, certain compensation. Even if he was an asshole to the core, his music which spread to millions, is a blast of positive energy that will long outlive his personality. Ed deserves to be wealthy and famous till the day he dies for his fucking incredible contribution to rock. And as far as him being a nice guy, you probably don't know him at all. So what if he doesn't want to talk to an obsessed fan. If I was his manager, I would tell him to smile and wave at you, but keep a safe distance.

Age has nothing to do with his ability to compose or perform compelling rock songs. His voice has changed but he's still performing songs like white discussion today. The missing ingredient of course is 3/4 of the band that helped birth that song in the first place. Removing their influence is the biggest impact on his abilities to make great rock songs. Refer to BOP, SFBM,and Alive if you need to hear what Ed sounds like without their influence. Refer to everything before that to hear C,C and P's influence. Then refer to TGF to see what they are still capable of. Take a song like Zion or even Grace and tell me it could't be even better with contributions from C,C and P. Or take a listen to his god awful band performing WD and tell me that wouldn't be a million times better. Age has nothing to do with any of that, rather his ego getting in the way. Some like yourself think he's entitled because of "his" contributions. Others believe he had help achieving what he did. His track record seems to support that he had help.He'd be wise to realize that.
