Listened to the whole thing. A bit of Live but not much we didn't know.

[Badman]

I listened to part 2 and took notes. I'll separate it into live parts and political parts.

LIVE

* Gracey said Ed had decided during TDTH (1999) that he wasn't going to write songs with Taylor anymore. Ed did not like the rocking direction Taylor took it, so 5 songs like Change, Don't wait, etc didn't make it onto the album and stuff like dance with you made it on instead.

* Ed said he would do all the writing on V and it was all his ideas.

*Gracey could not recall if FMNBLE was on V

*Said the record company wouldn't give the mummy or fast and furious rights to use V songs in their movies, which the band disagreed with.

*Gracey felt like their manager Gary Kerfias (sp?) didn't utilize the media enough. didn't get them in interviews or on shows like their peers. Felt they were done dirty.

Politics:


*Gracey's mom checks out this forum and noticed that we were saying we thought he was a conspiracy theorist and relayed that to him.

* Gracey is anti-vaccination, he didn't get it the covid vaccine and got a fake vaccination card off the dark web.

*Gracey did vaccinate his children with non-covid vaccines in the past ( I think).

* Gracey believes that big pharma controls the media and government.

* This host is a chode. says that covid vaccine changes your dna. Complete moron who does lead chad on a lot, but I try to separate out Gracey vs the host's beliefs.

* Gracey went on a tirade about how flat earthers are wrong, but he's correct about his conspiracy beliefs. Loves to use this argument to insist that he's being reasonable and doesn't believe everything he hears.

* Gracey believes that there is some corporate wokeness score to appease some secretive "blackrock" organization. Most companies are abiding by this even if it hurts them, like Budweiser.

* Gracey went on an anti-trans children tirade. He didn't express any anti-trans adult stuff UNLESS they were a trans woman competing in women's sports. He was adamant that sex change operations not be legal on kids. Said it was awful that california can take your children without you knowing and give them a sex change.

*says big pharma funds sex changes on kids to make them permanent profitable patients

* Gracey agreed with the host on book banning and added that no new books that talk about sex should be in libraries for minors. old books like beowolf seem to be okay as an exception.

* Gracey seems very anti-affirmative action. Not as hardlined as the anti-trans positions.

* Gracey says he supports trump 2024 or robert kennedy in 2024

*Gracey went on an anti-hunter biden tangent about how hunter biden is doing corrupt stuff with ukraine and china and how the media and government go after trump to draw attention away from those crimes.

*Gracey says president trump can declassify any document he wants because clinton did it by putting classified docs in his sock drawer. Ignores fact that trump wasn't president anymore so he couldn't declassify anything. Says biden is a hypocrite because he did the same thing with the documents.

* Gracey went on a long rant about epstein and child rape and says hillary clinton and bill gates and all the major world elites involved in it.

* Gracey believes that baby harvesting farms exist with women forced to have babies and they are used for organ harvesting.

* Gracey says thousands of children are stolen from migrants at the border and disappear, assumingly to be used in sex trade for the elites.

* Chad Gracey says he thinks his mom received a mail-in ballot with his dead father's name on it and used it to illegally vote for trump.

* Gracey went on tirade about liberal elites being in the pocket of military industry complex and pharma.

* Gracey says we need term limits for all elected positions. no career politicians

* Gracey says that Russia and china lack enough young people and it is destroying their economy and world position. russian youth are not being born, fleeing, or dying in war.

Thank you for your service. You just saved me 2.5 hours (I started listening to part one yesterday but didn’t finish). I knew he was lost in the sauce but damn. Calling the host a chode is being way too generous. He’s bypassed kissing CG’s ass and is just full fledged sucking it while showing just how much research he doesn’t do. Is there any actual fan that didn’t know how much CG loves Them Crooked Vultures? But the political crap proves these two deserve each other. And if his mom actually did mail in her late husband’s ballot (for Trump or anyone else), that’s a freaking crime.

[Voodoo Lady]

Thank you, Badman, for the Cliff’s Notes. You, too, saved me 2.5 hours.

No wonder Chad Gracey was always my least favorite member of Līve.

This man is so far gone in that cult. Sad.

Fantastic drummer though. I will never take that away from him.



Does anyone happen to know, if in part 1, he was asked if there is anything legally holding back Ed from releasing new music as Līve?

[dangum]

It wasn't discussed.

[Bremang]

Right??
Think Chad Taylor could find record of this and extort CG by leveraging his mom?

[Badman]

I think Gracey is going to regret doing this interview. Maybe he's in a DGAF stage after this breakup.

[Voodoo Lady]

It wasn't discussed.

Shame.

Thanks, dangum.

* Gracey went on tirade about liberal elites being in the pocket of military industry complex and pharma.

This is funny because it's always the right that votes to continue to allow big pharma to set their own prices and cause people that need meds to not be able to afford them, and also vote to expand military spending. Just shows how uninformed some people that think they are informed are.

It's also hilarious to me how people forget that Trump was closer to Epstein than either the Clintons or Gates, but I guess he's publicly bashed him since his arrest so he must have had no idea what he was doing.

I think of you listen to Gracey’s words, he said I hope she mailed it in but didn’t know. I know for a fact she did not mail it.

Lots of interesting banter here.

Live and let Live

You’re all a bunch of crazy panty wastes, I guess you love being ruled and made peasants….too busy to see reality I guess. Enjoy and live your best life, it’s short.

I love the new music……for years. lol

Should be some interesting mea culpas coming in the near future that’s for sure. Leave Mrs Gracey alone….bitches

[Badman]

Gracey's words in context regarding the false ballot included the language he thinks she did it and it was certainly a side point to the main topic. I dunno how you know for certain she didn't do it, but you've been reliable in the past around here and I respect you as someone in the know around York so you're probably right.

Yeah, I could give a shit how “reliable” you are or have been with your intel but you are no better than the two of them. If I or anyone else doesn’t agree with what you believe we’re being ruled? Why is it that the “do your own research crowd” automatically assumes the others only get their information from MSM? Spoiler alert, I don’t. But I guess that’s just me, a lowly peasant, not having any idea what I’m talking about because I don’t agree with you or them.

[Badman]

Why is it that the “do your own research crowd” automatically assumes the others only get their information from MSM?

I answered this pretty well in the other thread. People who believe in conspiracies NEED to feel like they have special knowledge and that means believing that everyone else gets their news from the MSM. If it turned out you got your media from somewhere even more underground than Outtodry, that would mean that you're more special than he is. Even the phrase "do your research" implies that they are the more knowledgeable ones and that you haven't done enough research.

These conspiracies absolutely fill a psychological need for these people and that's why arguing facts with them will never work. They won't lose these beliefs until they have driven away friends, family, and employment and even then if they find enough camaraderie on the internet they might still cling to it. It's a sad byproduct of our complex modern age and the ease of nuts on the internet finding each other.

Yes! I had meant to respond to that thread but got caught up in something else. You’re exactly right. I recommend people watch or re-watch The Social Dilemma to see just how controlling social media is and how it affects some of us on a psychological level.
