Why Live Broke Up, What do you tell your friends? Options

[dancing queen]

I just tell them there was some kind of fall-out, and there was a legal battle of sorts, and now they're doing their own thing - which I add is good, since they had become so differently inclined musically.

"There's no KEYBOARDS in it...okayyy?!"

Okay, Nicky?

Nice find there Jude, I forgot all about that one. Wow, could ya fill us full of more sugar coated BS. That whole dialogue was pure crap. Way to deceive the fans there, back to basics +LIVE+ eh? For some reason I don't remember a whole lot of la la la la, attempted falsettos, and half-hearted love songs on Mental Jewelry. Man all of our BS meters should've been working overtime back then. Oh well, glad those days are now behind us

This is the root of the pre hiatus deception.......I got tired of these announcements from Ed, it was always Ed talking from 2000 on. Measure these proclamations with the music that was agreed to be released!!! You don't have to be a rocket scientist.

I suddenly remembered how my Dutch friends told me when Ed came to promote BoP to Holland with an acoustic show and he said " I am having a new record out soon". I did not believe them back then.

Go back and watch the video at the BOP DVD....there are many many 'I' 'I', 'I''s This is what worried me privately and it was a good confirmation to me that Ed had taken over.....no interviews with the rest of the band.....no collaboration..... 1+1 = 2

I've been asked this a couple of times over the past couple of years and my comment was that Ed screwed over his mates, ripped them off and decided to go his own way. (allegedly)

Yet they still chose to keep Ed and ride the gravy train for another 6 years.

Sorry - I missed that one

I never really felt the need to explain anything to my friends. The thread title sounds more like something you do when your parents get divorced rather than when a band breaks up.

It's a bit similar, ain't it.

That's about all you can really say.

I just say the lead singer wanted to go Christian Rock and the rest of the band didn't, so they split ways over creative differences.
