So while for years Live has been talking about having 5 new songs ready to go, and writing a new album, Ed was actually writing and recording a solo album in 2018 with covers and a new persona despite having tour plans with Live.


Yes. A back up plan. Or maybe two plans, if the blues covers and Goose Blackstone are separate things. Which the back up plans tell me I need to admit the Līve reunion was just a touring cash grab that I looked at through rose colored glasses. However, nothing explains the confusion of why he doesn’t just release his Goose and blues stuff. What’s holding him back?!

I would like to add:
Goose Blackstone > Ball of Confusion

Why does (especially the beginning) of Ball of Confusion sound so poorly recorded? Is that supposed to be part of its charm? Sounding like a crackly record?

Is it also weird to anyone that no pictures of Ed and this guy been posted today by either party?
Anyone?

Edit: Ed being weird by not posting is redundant of me, but it’s super strange the other guy hasn’t. Like, what does he know????

Weird is definitely how I’d describe most of the last 2 years for Live. It’s hard to imagine the guys giving up the band and music in general but maybe their hearts just aren’t in it anymore but they don’t want to close the door officially.

Wasn’t there a post someone made right after the reunion that gave some backstory and they indicate that they planned to go on a hiatus and split with Chris right after the Australia tour but not officially announce anything? Seems like that might be the case here.

Edit, I went and found the post I was thinking about. I’m not going to mess around with trying to link it so I’ll just paste it below. If anyone wants to see the source just search grandfalloons posts.


On the current state with Chris, they had several concerts planned in the fall of 2015, internally it was decided to end the band with Shinn and go into an unannounced hiatus period. This was decided before the Australia shows were played with Live supporting Def Leppard (contractually binding) The Aussie shows were the last shows officially with Chris, although unspoken.

I getcha, but this doesn’t explain why Ed has been hiding for an entire year.
A gag order due to the other 3’s legal issues, okay. That just means he can’t talk about the case (or can it be more?). Why is he silent about his work? What did he sign/agree to?
SOMETHING IS WRONG. I’ve been banging this drum for more than half a year and no one will listen. omg.gif

17 hours ago Live shared a Flashback Friday post on Facebook. Ed shared that post on his own Facebook page while ignoring the release of Ball of Confusion. Ed still has said nothing at all about Ball of Confusion even though it was released yesterday in the US (2 days ago in Australia). It's totally confusing why Ed is not going to mention or promote this collaboration.

Strange Majik was obviously excited to share the song. Strange that Ed would record the song and give them the cold promotional shoulder like that.

Never in my life I thought I would say: I wholeheartedly support him in this. And I hope we will hear some new tunes soon. Or not soon. Better late than very late.

After Ball of Confusion and Turn the Radio On I'd definitely be interested in hearing what else Ed's done.

We can definitely agree on one thing: Ed sounds fine, right?
