Interview with Ed, Fly Magazine Options

[sellingthdrama]

You don't get anywhere by giving up, and I don't think that's what Live intends to do. Regardless of what fans and critics feel, they are creating something that they obviously, at one time or another, feel very strongly about, and who are we to tell them they should hang that up?

But what's the difference between giving up and letting something go once it has run it's course? If Paul McCartney (no, I'm not comparing Live and Paul) retired now, would he be giving up? Or if Live split up, would they be giving up or letting something end that's time has come and gone? We can all speculate, but only Live knows the answer to that.

Paul Mcartney is nearly 70 years old. The men of Live are in their mid-thirties and still have plenty of good left to offer to the world of music(I think mcartney still has a bit left in the tank as well). I thought Live was breaking up in 2006, but 2007 turned out to be one of the bands busiest touring seasons ever. I also heard Ed in other interviews saying that he's excited for the future of Live. I think the band will continue on for quite some time.

Yeah, McCartney wasn't a great comparison, but I'm sure you got my point. I would say that even for young people, things sometimes run their course and it's time to move on. I think it's just different for everyone.

I also thought Live was going to be done after SFBM - I thought that after I heard it. V was experimental (but not bad in hindsight, I think), BOP I thought was not good save for a song or two, and SFBM was a step up but very much tired. So, I thought that was it. To hear that another studio album would be in the works (wasn't that mentioned somewhere) was surprising.
