Ed has no plans to rejoin LIVE, 6/8/11 Interview Options

[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.

1 small thing.

I bet if Chad was wrong and accused Ed of something he did not do... I BET MONEY he would say he was sorry in public. You know, he did say he was wrong to spill it all in public, but he was not sorry because he was wrong about the money stealing

its just sad for me to see Ed referring to his boys in Live as "those individuals". Live will never be again. it only was.

[+Ed+]

And one more lil thang.

Why the fuck does nointerviewer EVER ask him WHY he does not want to get back to Live?

It's in the past, moving on does not seem to be the right answer. Where the fuck are the facts?

What is the REASON he does not want to be in a band?

[+Ed+]

The fans worldwide are unanimously over the top about the new show, the new band and the new material.

Errrrr, what?

Recently BEady Eye performed in my hometown. Of course I went to see them as I have been following Liam Gallagher for 15 years and although I did not like the new band's album, I had to go see him. I wanted to make a huge banner for the show: " Liam, would you rather Live Forever or be a Millionaire?" stating two of the songs, ne by Oasis, one - by Beady Eye.

I have been thinking lately, what kind of a banner would it be appropriate if Ed ever came to Russia?

[Hobbsy]

Winners? Losers? The one and only thing I know is that all of the diehard fans of Live are the losers. Whether you are for Ed or The Gracious few doesn't really matter. Live were my favourite band EVER (I'm 44 yo btw). All of that is gone now. Personally my music preferences push me toward the Gracious Few but unfotunately it isn't Live. I've been pissed with Ed for ages now but in the end it doesn't matter. The Live fans Lose out. That's all there is to it.

[+Ed+]

Yup. 100%. I'm with ya pal. Although loads of people go to shows, I bet the majority is like you and me.

As long as Ed thinks that he WAS Live and that he alone was responsible for the creativity and commercial success and that it all would have happened the exact same way with unstoppable musical genius of Ed and any other back-up band of session musicians, and as long as Ed thinks that V and BoP and SFBM and Alive are rockin in the true spirit of Live - as long as that is the case, then Live is dead. It is dead regardless of whether Ed wants to reunite or if he doesn't. Because that wasn't Live. And as long as that's the case, Ed doesn't know what Live was. One of the reasons that everyone gets angry at Nick, is that he sees Live and he sees Ed the same way that Ed does.

The only way that any of us will ever see Live again, is if Ed changes his paradigm about Live. So it is up to Ed. That is also the same determining factor for when I will start to support Ed again. I don't think we're going to see it any time soon.

hmmm... for namesake and to hear LIVE songs in concert or on tour again, would we want Ed replaced for CCP to continue as LIVE?

This is assuming they need LIVE to survive, in the financial sense.

[+Ed+]

Fish, so maybe we all are mistaken and only SFBM and V were true Live?... if even the creator of them says so

[+Ed+]

I bet they can afford even more than "surviving" even if they all quit music right now.

No, as much as I don't like the baldy bugger no one should replace him. CCP have enough talent to be able to continue making amazing music under other banners. Replacing Ed would be wrong.

Comedy option: unless it's Chris Daughtry, just for the simple fact that it would be fucking hilarious and such a great slap in the face for Ed.

As much as I hate these sort of jokes because they're so old now and don't make sense.

"In Soviet Russia, The Gracious Few is better than You".

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.

This OP post, goes to show you how much hypocricy coming from the other camp. That whole response is in direct contradiction, moving on from Live, come see me perform Live in the spirit of Live, what lemmings believe that pile of shit of an answer? It's what fish and everyone said. He's trying to sway everyone opinion that he does it all justice in this day & age. In the true spirit of embracing Chritianiity and all it's financial trappings.....he's come full circle into the TC preacher!!!!
