Have you contacted the record company that owns the masters, demos, and works of Secret Samadhi to inquire (or petition) regarding an anniversary release?

Of course, no one here would hold Live accountable for something that is not in their control. Never, right?

Do you know what is in their control? Their social media, their hands, their pens/pencils, their fingers, their guitars, their drum sticks, their voices, their motivation, etc. etc. A lack of info about a Secret Samadhi anniversary edition is but a microcosmic example of a larger ghosting by the entire band. It's almost like they... *gasp* ...don't give a shit. Not even about the casual fans who only care about "that one song back in the day about gross baby afterbirth."

I get this isn't one-sided. Without the band fans would have never had a lack of info to bitch about, but without fans the band would have been driving trucks or skinning hunted deer. I won't argue over the equality of that relationship because there's really no way to quantify that level of give and take, but every marriage has a given and take, and like it or not that's the closest comparison. And people, like me,, are giving attention to what appears to be a black hole. Why should they, or I, keep doing that?

[JonSnow]

I mean... just something to let people know you're a-fucking-live.

right, of course they have zero control!

the previous anniversary releases materialized by pure happenstance
controlled entirely by some entity
with zero intent from the band

Maybe the celebration plan is to post about it on Facebook? Maybe a band memlber will even share said post! Fingers crossed.

Selective quoting. Reply to the paragraph before.

Also, your reply shows your ignorance on the subject, but we knew that going in.

Have you contacted the entity that owns Secret Samadhi to ask if there will be a re-release since you aren't getting answers direct from the band you constantly complain about? You might get your answer within minutes if you did some due diligence. However, your existence here appears to be complaining rather than seeking out the info.

I know the answer. You don't.

If Live doesn't own their music they managed to get licenses from the copyright holders of TC and MJ, and strike a deal for the re-releases. If Live chooses to not pursue the same process to materialize an SS re-releases, it wouldn't be unreasonable to be disappointed in the band.

You suggesting that Live has zero control is asinine.

Maybe with all their money tied up in legal issues, the process of obtaining the masters doesn't make financial sense?

My wife thought it was over before anyone else did, she said that the band no longer got along and it was evident on stage.

Ed was set to release his solo stuff in May 2020, and then something happened, and he went silent.

In Jan 2021, Ed and Chad did the marijuana thing.
The fact that Ed admitted the band hasn't spoken during the pandemic was a major red flag.

The lawsuits killed the band, and money from touring is much less.

Do they return? Maybe but I don't see it happening in 2022.

Now why Ed is silent, I don't understand, but at least we got a song.

Thanks to Dangum! Without his research we probably wouldn't have that.

So true. Thank you, dangum!

100 percent.

I wonder if there is some kind of block regarding Ed's ability to release new music.

It isn't like Ed to not mention a new song of his.

I’ve felt this way all along. I wish to know what he signed.

Thanks for continuing to prove you know nothing about the business side of Live's recording contracts.
