All over You - 2011 Recording, Fresh recording with NEW lead singer Options

[Pokey]

I have a great idea. Let's all write a few sentences to Ed, I will combine them and form one long collaborative letter.

Then we can all chip in 5 or so bucks and I will call him and read him the letter.

This should be its own thread.

Great idea but im not sure there is enough of us to make that work, those phone calls are expensive, almost like a phone sex operator... Hmm

"Hi there Ed, it's Nick here, what you wearing? "

[OutToDry]

Phone calls.....it's so american idol and justin beiberish

He certainly does like promoting TGF, but unlike some it's not at the expense of it her bands in any sort of malicious way.

Like u?

I'm not out to promote anyone. I'm also not actively trolling on any dedicated Ed areas anymore and haven't for some time. The only negative things i say regarding Ed are in direct relation to arguments with Nick. So think before you post. Nick actively promotes one act whilst publicly putting down another. Zman just promotes an act, funny yeah maybe, but he's not hurting anyone.

Live with a new singer = pointless.
They sound like they're their own tribute band.
Seriously, trying to emulate Ed's vocals is just embarrassing.
If you want to try out new stuff, screw around with TGF, but don't rape Live songs.

Slag me off and call me an Ed lover or whatever, but anyone who doesn't see this as a big pile of crap has serious hearing issues.

Wait it's not ok to have a different opinion?? Then maybe you should change the name to Fans of TGF.com

[Pokey]

Fair enough opinion, I don't agree with it but unlike some people you're not out to push an agenda.

Ed trying to sing his own songs in embarrassing though. For me, this guy's version of AOY is better than Ed's. The vocals are better. Way more palatable and don't make me cringe.

Now ur just being silly

Not at all. I mean what I said 100% - and stand right by it.

Playing the live classics that live always played (thanks stale setlist!) will def sound weird in concert I imagine, maybe not bad, just weird since we're all so used to it. The good thing about when they delve further into more obscure songs to tour with is that there won't be as many memories and expectations and such attached to them. Hell they may play a song you've never personally heard Ed perform in concert which will make it it's own new thing. Will their version of TBD be as good as circa 1995? Probably not, but god damn I don't even want to think of how Ed would butcher that now.

"this is how I go out tonight, yeah lord, dressed in blue by the bible tonight, yeah child". Sung with a huge smile. This new singer might not be as good as old Ed, but I'm sure he won't completely rape the meaning of the songs. The songs belong to CCP too and they seem to want to be faithful to the spirit in which they were written, not Jesus them up.

[Bremang]

the point is, we don't do this. If we don't like a band / singer we don't lurk on their Mb's and spew shit. We move ON!!!

. You spewed about ed while he was in live and you still jab at ed in his forum. Juuuuuuuust liiiiiiike niiiiiiiiick.

Spot on. And even reading your imagined version of him singing with a smile is enough to make me cringe because it's so true. So horribly, horribly, true.
