10 Questions with Chad Taylor, Facebook Options

All the more reason for a hoax.

That seems just a tad far-fetched and very tinfoil hat.

Chad's already flipping the script. He tips his hat to Ed's solo career, calls it a win/win for Live fans. Very nice for someone who claims he'll never be friends with, let alone stand in the same room as Ed.


Go ahead and believe Ed's secret contract. Makes total sense that they broke up Live without even talking to each other.

He gave to props to Ed for the contributions within Live during his letter to FOL. I think you're grasping at straws here. Listen, Chad knows the fans are partial to both sides. Both sides will get what they want.

Remember when Ed tweeted (I think in May) that he talked to CT on the phone for hour and they were "scheming." This is it! It's all to get LIVE back in the news Really I have no clue, as long as all parties are happy...I think that's great. I'm looking forward to some great music from The Gracious Few and Ed.

Holy shit guys I just saw Elvis! No joke!

Front page of the news papers in Australia right after the break up were all about Live and their history, even the sports channel halted talk of Football to cover more of Live's break up, thats how great the break up promo was!

i remember that! i was getting a blowjob from two supermodels and i had to pry the tv remote from my boss's corpse to turn it louder. i was surprised at the amount of attention they paid to live.

Carlton were pissed when Live split too cos that meant they were no longer gonna sponsor them anymore.

Not really. I remember something being in reference to how Ed was playing live songs at his solo shows. Chad just explained that Ed had the right to perform songs he helped birth.

He kept it non confrontational.

Damn, really? I can't remember the last time Live were of any relevance up here. I always hear how Live is still popular in Australia and the North west European countries. That's pretty cool.

I really hope you were meeting my sarcasm with even more sarcasm which I've now totally fallen for. Live will sell out a decent concert over here still, but they aren't exactly relevant or what you'd call popular.


What I don't understand is how so many people here deal with black and white .. no middle ground. CT writes a blog that is pretty damning towards Ed. It doesnt mean any time he mentions Ed it must be followed by the words "and may he burn in the fires of hell". He himself said hate is a strong word and we should try not to hate .. I doubt he hates Ed. He was hurt by him.
So CT talking positively about Ed in past tense or him speaking about Ed now without being filled with rage isn't an admission that the whole thing was a hoax or that they're over it now. Some people must be confused by what it's like to be able to feel more than one emotion at once.

Was he holding hands with Madeleine McCann? According to her parent's PR plonker she's been spotted in New Zealand and the horrid, meanie Portugese police wouldn't waste money on yet another wild goose chase *cough* I mean investigate. So as the most famous and well spotted 'abducted' child in the history of the whole world ever, she may have flown over to Melbourne on her world tour for a spot of Where's Wally style parading round in front of stupid security guards eager for their 15 minutes of tabloid fame.

*and breathe*

Back on the subject, I just wish Chad and the other guys had kept it this diplomatic and cordial in public in the past.

[OutToDry]

I think there was a boiling point that let the emotions out on the social networking channels.

Oh well, what's done is done and on to bigger and better things.

[FishOutaWater]

Among the many reasons why I don't think the break-up is a hoax, the number one reason is the music. If you listen to The EK's new music and you listen to TGF, it is pretty obvious.

The EK is writing the next extension of his V, BoP, SFBM migration away from the edgy rock that Live produced when all 4 contributed.

TGF is writing the music that they really wanted to play for the last decade and became frustrated that they couldn't, ever since The EK took over the whole writing process and the other three became back-up musicians.

If the break-up is a hoax, then it is a pretty nice touch that TGF decided to add to the illusion by creating an amazing, brilliant album that stomps all over anything that Live or The EK has created over the last 10 years, just to make it all more convincing.

You've summed it up nicely Fish.

The fact that we are getting 'Beleive part 2' tells me all I need to know on musical direction.
