Ed K Musikfest show, ticket fees Options

Thats what I said before when you failed to read the post.

Ed makes very little from his tour. Bulk of his income is live publishing & royalties.

How do you know Ed's touring income? What figure would you say is very little?

You forget that I am not simply a fan on a message board. You are mickey mouse. I am the the mousetrap.

Uh huh. You are pretty much just a fan on a message board. I'm sure you aren't priveleged to Ed's financials. You may be in contact with Chad Taylor, but I don't think there is much more to it.

You simply can't believe it........That is why you fail.

Yeah I'm getting sucked into the vortex again here.

Pokey - WTF? You're becoming the worst offender here!

I didn't know the name of the black guy from Hootie and the Blowfish, though I knew he was doing country music now.
Thanks for telling me his name.
Also, it's in no way racist to call someone black, if they are, in fact, a black person.

Worst? I was trying to get people to stop enticing him into an argument in the first place, then suggested him sticking to the Ed forum and us sticking to the Live forum, hence paths not even having to cross. That's not the worst offender. I just answered his moronic questions that ultimately lead nowhere

[Merica]

Can Ed's solo album, Alive, be called 'critically acclaimed' - really? I saw just as many negative reviews as good. And some of the good reviews I think you have to question (for all bands), as some sites seem to just want to be positive for the sake of it to try build a friendship and fans etc.

Arguing about one's income is asinine. First off, Ed isn't doing that much to say he's doing fine vs anyone. Do you have any idea of his personal lifestyle? I'd bet that giant house he has in CA carries a hefty mortgage. Who knows? Who cares? You're just splitting hairs. You have no idea what C,C,P bring in either vs what they spend. It's all relative and really a mute point.

And while we're at it, your comments about TGF's "failure" as their motivation to continue with Live are just as asinine. TGF was / is not a failure. In fact, they had quite a bit of momentum when they took their own self imposed hiatus to work on their other projects. We've known all along that CB had tour dates and new music to record. Did we know the exact plans? No. They probably didn't either. We've also known that at some point C,C,P were going to revisit Live and what its future would be. Did we know the exact plans for that? No? They didn't either. In fact, the Live plans were entirely up in the air and subject to all sorts of legal matters, Ed's participation or not, etc.

Your comments continue to be spiteful, uninformed, uninspiring, and really elementary. I know you don't care, but you are doing Ed no good. He's not doing himself any favors either by continuing his dismissive behavior towards C,C,P. I'm convinced he believes everything he is saying, as do you, which is really just sad to be honest. The fact remains that he could be making music with Live yet he continues his charade of proclaiming he wrote 90% of their music anyway. That may have been true by SFBM but nearly everyone would agree that he hasn't been relevant for over a decade, which is the last time he truly collaborated with C,C,P.

TGF did not draw enough for Kevin Martin to continue with them as his full time project. Kevin Martin started to focus more on Candlebox and CCP were left with nothing. That is a big reason for LIVE ending their hiatus. TGF momentum was all but stalled when Kevin went back to Candlebox.

Ed wrote 100 percent of the lyrics and a large portion of the music for LIVE. Ed may have had his most success in the US when he collaborated with CCP, but the reverse is also true.

I never said that I knew anyones income. That was all OTD.

Even during the infant stages of TGF, it was stated that the following summer (summer 2011), that they would take time off for Live. Candlebox also had previously scheduled Candlebox dates for this summer. With TGF taking time off, Candlebox was also open to schedule additional dates. How fucking stupid are you that you cannot comprehend this?!

This is the only factual thing about your post. The big difference is, CCP realize this. You can continue to make up shit to try to validate your position but I gave you the facts regarding TGF and Live. You, meanwhile, look at their glass as completely empty and Ed's as completely full when both sides aren't doing much more than the other.

You have claimed C,C,P's financial demise as their prime motivation on many occasions as well as claimed that Ed is doing just fine financially.
