wow thats two days in a row talking about maybe getting Ed and Live back together

[Pokey]

I just hope that if the talks in July go down then it happens one of 2 ways

A).

CCP: Ok dude so are we gonna hash this stuff out? If we get the band back together are we all writing music together?

Ed: Yeah lets do it.

CCP: Let's do this thing!

B).

CCP: Ok dude so are we gonna hash this stuff out? If we get the band back together are we all writing music together?

Ed: No sorry I still want to write on my own.

CCP: Cool, cya!

I don't think this July meeting is as concrete as some of you want to believe. He did say "probably" after all. That's a pretty important word.

Most young bands lose their guarantees while on tour. I was reminded of that just the other day of when I saw Arcade Fire in 2004, and they played for about 32 people. Super nice people who were losing a load of money on their tour.

Where are they now, eh?

The Clamoring is reaching monumental proportions!!! LOL

As much as Chad changes his mind, when he says probably it sounds pretty certain to me. Hes repeated the idea of a potential Live reunion 2 days in a row. He had the kindergarten explanation copied word for word in both interviews. Thats practically promo-style talk.

Look at the paragraph here from the Rockline interview, gather the context of the word "probably"

...that doesn't mean that there won't be more Live music in the future. Our agreement with each other was that we were going to take a two year hiatus, and i think that comes up in about July, and i think around that time that we should probably get back on the phone and start to talk with each about how we're gonna make music, or if we're gonna make music, or what we should do.

It sounds like Chad wants to get in touch w. Ed. Ed's should at least get asked by fans about what Chad has said on the radio.

That is interesting about arcade fire. I've read a few things about how they were pretentious jerks.

We don't know what those words mean, sounds to me - all press speak and tgf is and will be priority.

This sentence makes no sense. Shouldn't it be less certain since he only said "probably"?

Arcade Fire weren't jerks back then, I don't know about now.

Who is to say that Ed will take them back? They publicly ripped him pretty viciously, and he has been able to make a living since the split. Maybe Ed won't be so forgiving(at least not right away?)

Why shouldn't they have after he screwed them privately?

Didn't Ed have to put his house up for sale and start selling coffee and pendants? Not to mention, acoustic bootlegs that he didn't pay the other guys for.

I don't think you really know anything about Ed's financial situation, he hasn't been as forthcoming as the TGF guys. He has one more person in his band, I assume a crew that was just as large as TGF's, and I don't recall many reports of sellout shows.

I won't even touch the stuff about him needing to forgive them... yuck.
