The interviewer is a pretty massive tool but he asked the questions ive been wanting ed to answer. ed was a bit (very) uncomfortable in answering them. I'd still like Ed to expand on what happened to Live. As a fan for a long time im still a bit in the dark.

How sad what happened with 'live.' They were the best band to come out of the 90's. They were around a long time. Thankfully I was fortunate to see them perform for the last time. Just wish I had gotten to meet them. Ed didn't need to be selfish and money hungry like that.

@4freshflower - it was selfish.

Lol someone said the gracious few rock bigtime ...err..no they don't! its plain to hear that in their sound, ed obviously wrote and made the music that WAS live!! his new album sounds like a live record where as the gracious few sound like a shitty b-grade garage band! That's why they didn't want to split because with out ed they are NOTHING""

I'm glad the interviewer asked the question because he cleared it up. He wasn't trying to ambush him he wanted to give him a chance to clear his issues with live then move on and focus about his stuff now. Now I see clearly that he wanted to move on too his solo project before the band broke up. He already had studio stuff in the works and the band wanted him to scrap that stuff and stay with live and he wanted to be compensated or covered for the work he was doing.they said no so he stayed solo
