BRe, he did at one point. You have seen the older concerts I've posted from my personal collection. I don't deny this.

In this thread I think Ed should get a little more credit for the tremendous amount and quality of rocking he did.



Absolutely he did! I openly admitted he was my groupie love crush for fifteen years. Hot, sexy, with a voice (and shaved head) that could melt my heart and panties in one fell swoop. He did amazing work, but I have real issue with the direction he took and lead a lot of other people, including his friends and bandmates. CCP have some admitted culpability in allowing some of these things to happen, but the allegations of underhandedness and back-stabbing are with merit and substantially disheartening.

I *loved* him. Big, fat, 100% adoring love. He broke my heart. Allegedly.

Well there's a lot of contradiction in many of the statements in this thread, but the overall contention is that Ed's exclusion of CCP was the main factor that made Live bad and proves that CCP have been the main draw to Live for the majority of fans.

I disagree. Although I think CCP are great and are a driving force in Live that is irreplacable, I think a much bigger factor in Live's downfall is that Ed got worse. I think that majority of fans were drawn by Ed over CCP in the 90's. I think this is justifiably the case because Ed drew crowds from rocking exceptionally, in some manner exclusive of CCP. Moreover, he was the face of the band on MTV, which probably influenced the majority of fans. And so I think he deserves more credit in this thread as far as being a draw for Live is concerned.

I also see that old argument about Ed's involvement in the bands breakup. Hopefully that situation is seen as very inconclusive, as to not create unwarranted disheartening.
