Chad Taylor makes fun of Ed lyrics, New Facebook post Options

[Aitkens]

From Chad...

When Keith and Mick used to argue in the press, I loved seeing into how complex their relationship was. Ultimately, no matter how troubled it was, I saw that this dynamic fueled the fire to some of their best music. Since most of you have never been in a band, I find it hilarious to see how many you react when a little real controversy hits these pages. Yep, I didn't like every LIVE lyric just like Ed thought my guitar was out of tune or whatever? I'm not perfect nor is my take on music. Point is, we're human and everything is subjective. Bands are about COMPROMISE. In my opinion, when I felt that Ed had stopped compromising, LIVE started going full retard and everyone knows, you never go full retard (that's a Tropic Thunder movie quote intended for a little comic relief - I think everyone knows I'm pretty friggin compassionate). Behind the scenes, I fought hard for my vision but was always willing to bend so that the dynamic of the band was in f
irst position. It didn't always mean you got the best music but we tried hard to give you the best LIVE (this includes Ed's vision of LIVE btw). I got super angry a few days ago after I saw yet another Ed poster where the LIVE logo was front and center. It's bullshit. Ed told management that Patrick, Chad and I should be walking on egg shells around him or he'd quit the band to pursue his solo career. I have this in writing. There's no hearsay. So, if we pushed Ed to compromise he'd quit AND quit he did. Now he uses our logo to promote his solo career. What the fuck else should I do but be offended? I didn't kick his ass out of LIVE, he left to say that he'd never work with those individuals again. Then he wrote an open letter to the paper (hey he had my number) saying he wanted back in LIVE? Behind the scenes Patric, Chad and I authored and signed a mutual release to get rid of the negativity of the law suit. Ed would not sign it! Heck, I respect the rock n roll craziness but that beats even Axl Rose (love you Axl, don't ever change). I'd been texting with Ed about how to find a way to get over this shit AND then another new show was announced with an even bigger LIVE logo. We'll fuck that. I texted Ed for the last time and told him that he had no right to be in LIVE as he showed no respect for the band itself. I'm actually in the band and wouldn't pull that shit. So there you have it. LIVE is C, C, C and P until those in the band say any fucking different. - CT out.

Full retard is a wonderful description.

This deserves its own thread.

This is some what OTD has been hinting at I assume. Big details in there.

[live2cd]

im glad he explained things better today.

CT's post shows that he still had respect for Ed and what Ed meant to the band. That's what all of Ed's followers, the ones who cling and clang about how "it's not Live without Ed", don't get. Everyone knows what Ed used to mean to the band, but his ego and greed destroyed that value. They say it's "not Live without Ed", but it wouldn't be Live with Ed. He's about as useful to Live now as a third nipple on my forehead.

I'd rather be in full retard mode than full fucktard mode, which others apparently are.

Kudos to Chad for giving more detail. The ambiguity that we were getting before was full retard.

Chad Taylor is always good to give his spin to his favor. Even Kingsfoil was smart enough to stay away from the trainwreck that is CT.

He's so deep in full retard mode that I doubt he'll notice.

Full Nedtard mode?

And honestly, you don't think you do the exact same thing? Spin every single scenario so that Ed is seen in a positive light? Honestly!

What makes you think he would know or care? "Some men you just can't reach"

Nick, you are really digging yourself in a hole. Kingsfoil is an independent band which decided to go it their own. Chad didn't tear them down because they didn't sign with QE, he embraced their independence and gave them props on FB wishing them luck and asking folks to go see them. You are quite simply incrediblly silly. You are the talk of the day in Live land, lest you know it.

Then he would be involved in a legit lawsuit for a change.
