Chris Shinn Responds to Ed Kowalczyk Replacing Him In Live

Hardly much of a response and author insinuates there might be "bad blood." I don't get that vibe from his post, but interested in what you all think.

Bahhhh, yeah. That title's a bit of a tease really.

i think this author has manufactured a bit of drama. This is the 3rd or 4th article in the Live reunion saga.

I think he's making up what he thinks in his mind and wants hits on his site. I can infer that he's a fan with wild asparitions of being recognized in the fake media

Shinn's post doesn't really allude to much, but the author is trying to mislead the readers. just my honest opinion

[World Dreamer]

His post is also an obvious hint at Everything is Energy.

Sweet.

Ofcourse Chris' post doesn't imply anything and doesn't need to be releated to LIVE. But it got me thinking that - if LIVE and Chris parted in a good and nice way - would LIVE let that so open? Without adressing they have respect of which role Chris played for them? I know there has been hardly a real announcement that Ed is back yet. But still, they need to realise that now that they confirmed Ed is back, the public (especially fans) will speculate about how everything ended. And ofcourse if there is bad blood between him. They could make that clear from the early start.

Again, it is still all very early and maybe we will get to hear all the details, but not saying anything about it at all (but posting a picture together with Ed at the same time) is somewhere a bit disrespectful (but maybe not intentionally). Guess we'll find out soon.

Bad Blood? Some people will spin anything!

When you tweet: "#Don't get bitter, get better"

You can take that in a direction where things didn't end in a way satisfactory way for all parties.

Why do some people automatically refer this quote as being directed to CCP. Not impossible, but really isn't worth an article or anything like it.

It's not the first time that Chris has used that hashtag.

Here's an earlier occurance from September 2016.

Although September is when we we all started to suspect something was happening. In fact, I think some of the first hints date before that. Obviously, Shinn would have had knowledge he was being replaced before us and probably before the ominous signs on Live's social media pages (prior to them going black).

I think it is safe to infer the hashtag is about his spot in Live. I wouldn't expect it to have been a totally amicable break and I'm sure Shinn isn't thrilled about losing a potential source of income. But, all in all, it doesn't seem too acrimonious and, even if it is, kudos to him for not airing it out in the open.

I overlooked the hashtag. Sure, it could be unrelated, but I really doubt it. It could have been "amicable" but now he's feeling bummed about it, so instead of getting "bitter"....
I dunno. Maybe we will hear about it one day in one of CT's blogs. Or if they pretend it never happened, maybe not.

Talking about Chads blog... Where is allthingschadtaylor?

[Merica]

I think Chad took that offline quite a while ago mate.

He is not allowed to post anything unless Ed tells him it is okay.

Agree with this. There is never a mutual breakup, one side always gets let down, and in this case it's probably Shinn. Think about it, what if you were putting all this work into a relationship with someone, and then they left to go back with their ex. Even if they are better off with their ex, and you want them to be happy, chances are you're still a little bitter.

I wish the best to Shinn, he has a great voice and will find another band to land with pretty easily I imagine.
