Q. What is your side of the story about why Live disbanded? Do you ever foresee working with your former band mates again?

A. I had simply come to the end of a chapter in my life and wanted to spread my wings and move beyond what I had been doing, in the same way, for almost 20 years. As far as the allegations that were leveled at me and purported as the reason for the breakup, they were all absolutely untrue. I have no plans to work with those individuals again. The spirit of Live is alive and well in my performances and my new material — come and see for yourself.

New Flash! Ed is still a piece of shit. Yup, it's confirmed.

[OutToDry]

(SJN)...Bout time you realized what a lot of us long timers all ready know.

He's still sore from being called out for his 'purpoded' wrong doing. He's not going to admit a box of rocks with litigation still pending.

What he thinks is the spirit of Live in his performances is utterly the most farthest thing from the truth there is. With technology today, we don't need to go see it the way he's presenting it. Someone make him sit down and watch old performances of himself and C&C&P from 89-01 and watch them for a year on end......hey waterboarding works in other ways too.

He should listen to what most people (the fans) who started with them before becoming big have to say. Most of them will say Live was those 4 guys. SOmeday, he'll realize this, probably when it's too late. I am sure C&C&P would always extend a hand to him in forgiveness and respect because that's who they are. Ed seems to think Live started with TDTH, when he got things his way. While that album was fantastic, it started the wave crashing. We all know what happened after this record. It's proof alone that they sold jack shit when there was no more collaboration and communication.

He'd have nothing if it werent for C&C&P asking him to join into a band of brothers. They'd probably not if made it all w/o the 4. That's all speculative at this point. Why did his ego have to ruin it? Create the wedge, the band drama that probably started other drama we don't know of.

Hey, it's ok. I've moved on. It's ok for those finding Live late and enjoying the AC 40 style stuff, but it's not what they came out of the box with and gave it their all to acheive the success they did. The fans, new and old are more than entitled to support whomever they want, it's their choice. I choose to support C&C&P for the kind of music that is true to their soul.

Ok I am done. my 2 abe lincolns. But not mad.

The same Chads that ripped the guy publicy via Twitter, and backtracked only once TGF didn't take off as they had hoped?

[T.B.D]

I gotta say, I've been on these boards for awhile -- but haven't posted much. I'm sort of afraid to.

Look, I'm not on "Ed's side", or on the side of CC&P. But, I just don't understand all the hate. Like Out To Dry said (but then went on to 'dis Ed), these allegations are "purported" (you spelled it wrong, by the way).

Just because Chad said it's true, and Ed decided to keep it mum for the moment, doesn't mean that Chad is right.

I'm curious ... what IF the truth shows that Chad was not telling the truth ? What will everyone say ? What will happen to all the TGF avatars ?

Again, I love them all (Ed, TGF, Live) ... I'm just making an observation here ??

[OutToDry]

This is what makes you an absolute fucking douchebag. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. I am starting to think you're seriously challenged. If you are, I am sorry.

I speak some hard truths here and you have to turn it into C&C&P and some twitters again. They backtracked because of their hearts on their sleeves, because they were deceived? Again, grow the fuck up kid.

I didn't really dis ed, I simply stated the allegations are purpoted, as they are stated that way in the documents. I repeated what was quoted. If speaking how most true live fans feel is dis, sorry pal. And, I have it on good authority on what was done. But, that's up to a court to decide.

You dis Ed, never!

"Good Authority" lol

[OutToDry]

I think i am very tame when talking about ed these days.
Trust me, it's better Live doesn't reunite for your sake. You're pretty much banned.

You can't be banned from something that ended 2 years ago.

[OutToDry]

Wow, you're really reaching at comebacks now. The great yoda who's been on record here predicting a live reunion in 2011.

no way they get 2 gether again! just my pennies


If the money is right, down the line they will get back together. A Live reunion tour will be more lucrative than anything Eddie or The Gracious Few can do on their own.

Right now the guys are excited to explore new horizons, but remember the grass is always greener.

If we are making claims based off of nothing, I'm going to say that Live will be back in 2013.


If Candlebox is going to record an album in 2010, it makes sense that they will release and tour behind said album throughout 2011. If so, The Gracious Few will be down a lead singer and probably be more open to a Live reunion. I suppose it all depends on the success of Ed's solo stint.

The guys were on the road too long and got sick of Ed's bs, 2 years apart may help that situation. Therefore, I wouldn't be shocked to see at least some Live shows on the schedule for 2011.

Live will be back in 2011.

I love this one, best one on the board that show's your wishy washiness!!!

Nick, I recall you getting flamed and driven out of the SOY boards years ago for honestly reporting after a show that you finally got backstage (I think because of Jimmy's generosity) and finally got to meet Live, but Ed was a real jerk and seemed to be under the influence of something. You were completely disapointed in the Ed you met compared to the Ed you expected. You were being honest, but at the time, the truth was too controversial and you took heat for it. It seems that Ed has been that guy you experienced all along. I have experienced that Ed myself.

So why do you now give him the benefit fo the doubt at every turn and he can do no wrong in your eyes?


Ed in 2004 was fucked up on whatever drug he was on. In 2006 I experienced a different Ed who was cordial and really awesome to my wife and I. Ed was cordial to me this past month when I met him and very nice to my friend.
Do I think Ed is a great guy, probably not. But in this situation, I'd like to hear his side of the story. There could be more at work than what we see. That is all I am saying.

Either way, I'm going to support The Gracious Few and Eddie Kowalczyk.

Untrue as to the reason for the breakup but not untrue altogether. He's had plenty of opportunities to clear this up and he has yet to do so.

He can't say anything, he's being sued. We don't have to rehash the lawsuit or the rediculous rebuttal and lashback that came from Ed's attorney.

[+Ed+]

Did we get any new info?

No.

Will we get any new info?

No.

Will Ed say anything new in at leaaaaast some other words than 2 years ago?

No.

Thread can be closed as a duplicating to one of the 43587634587 threads here with the same contents.

[Pokey]

You know I got total respect for Ed he just wants to close the Live chapter of his life, spread his wings and move on by.... constantly filling up the bulk of his set with sub par versions of Live songs and marketing himself closely to the Live brand. Oh, wait.

To me this says "yep I'm pretty much moving on from Live, but you see I also love money so I'll stoop to anything to get more of it."

As to why Eds side of events stinks to high heavens compared to CCP's? All people are defending Ed are saying are "oh, but maybe Ed is right". Yes we don't have 100% confirmation that what CT has said is right but enough of the dots join up to make it more viable. Even IF what Nick believes is true about TGFs money drying up and they now want Ed to milk the Live cash cow some more that still doesn't mean everything Ed is accused of is wrong, it would just mean CCP were cash desperate now. It wouldn't make Ed any less of a scum bag.
That and the fact that Ed denies allegations are the only bits of "evidence" someone like Nick has. If what CT said was so untrue as Ed said then SURELY they'd not have gone to the trouble of lodging a lawsuit. How can Nick over look that fact yet cling so strongly to the "CCP running back to Ed" theory as proof they were lying.
