i would say its those who are edko's army and those who seem to want to return to what he stated.

Great comments from CT.

I couldn't agree more with what he says.

..........And it's good to see that he doesn't give a shit about all of those detractors - you don't have to ban them or delete their posts - just prove those Motherfuckers wrong!

CT s comments show me what i need to know, on one hand we have a man content in life, accepting a truth he believes and the outcome is equivilant, poppy,bland ,non challengeing garbage and to get this he must present an all glowing non threatening image ...therefor the FB deletions.... on the other hand a group still questioning life and with this staying alive and creative..eg their involvement in there hometowns revival, TGFand now new LIVE.. i cant wait for the new music... to think you have all the answers to all the questions in life is to die mentally. just my opinion

I'm glad he spoke up. He's a fine writer.

Chad Taylor. Gents from above, I'm so inspired! May I invite you to the next studio session to talk over the logistics of how to move forward? We'll need to avoid offending anyone. In order to do this, we'll be very quiet and politically correct as we safely form our strategy to be a huge rock band (its helpful if you read that part with the voice of Ross Mathews from Chelsea Lately). Seriously guys? Ed walked. Nothing more to say. I want to play Live songs and thankfully, so do Chad and Patrick. As far as the voice of Live, well that is our job to bring it back anyway we see fit. I stood on that stage at SXSW and you know what? Not a single fucker looked for "the one who refers to water", most importantly not Chad, Patrick and I.....this is normally where I kick over a guitar amp or do something completely irrational but I'm feeling uneasy as this may violate the new safety code. (back to Ross voice)...Gees, what would Creed do? See you gents at band practice, don't forget to bring your white tennis shoes...the club are sticklers for dress protocol. We'll start with some light stretching and cool refreshments before we kick into Lakini's Juice - love Ross

Haha CT is on fire, love it!

If CT is referring to those who occupy this board, I'd say a vast majority of us can't wait for change - no consolation needed here. Ed, Nick and their minions may need some consoling. I'm totally down with Shinn, I'm totally down with CCP taking control and I'll be totally down for that new thunder they are going to throw our way. UMMMM, now that's some good change! CT, this board's got your back.

I doubt he means here... The band are well aware of this board and know who Nick is and that he is in the minority here getting curb stomped by all of us constantly... OTD and Zman and co. will have told him by now that this board has Live's back when speaking of the majority.

CT making many good points. I can't believe there'd be anybody (who actually knows what's going on) that would prefer a 2000s, piss-poor version of Live back than move forward with Live as they are now, an animal ready to burst from the cage and tear shit up. It's so clear.

Having a tough time preferring something I haven't heard. Lot of talk of how good they will be with Chris but I haven't heard it yet. The few songs on ffl sound good but I want to hear some new shit before I know what version I like best.

I have white tennis shoes and a collared shirt. I would like to come to the "club" to see rehearsal. I promise to sip my techela with my pinky in the air.

I like that Chad posted that crappy article and responded to it. Gave people the source material and everything, and also gave the YDR some hits. That's good work.

Wonder if we'll see a response opinion?

Personally they don't have to do much for me to say I prefer it to SFBM stuff. I got cynical about all the self-hype before TGF but damnit if they didn't have me eating my words on it's release. So going on previous history and the fact I like Shinn's other stuff ... I think I can safely say whatever the hell it'll be I'll like it more as a complete album than anything Live did post TDTH at the very least.

He certainly gave some hits!!!

More from CT:

[indent] When I dream of Live, I see the sparks that fuel life or the wide-open horizon as my car speeds through its desert. Not some dreary, sleepy, adult-contemporary version of safety rock (did I invent a new genre? I can see it now, the full-rock-band, He’s Alone Tour featuring the safety rock hits of yore. Opps, I just vomited in my own mouth).

Exactly.
