What do you give a shit if we like it or not? You would already have our money in your greedy little hands and you could tour and play 1 song off the new record and cash in like crazy. You will never be confused with being a good businessman!

You whine that you have music "certain" people don't like? That's never stopped you before-fire them like you did Mike and release the tunes.

People don't forget that you put out 3 songs on BOBW. The music was decent. Most people I have heard were critical of Sam's lyrics but liked your riffage. The shows I went to people weren't just standing there, they were rocking out. What are we supposed to do, whip it out and start whacking off to the new songs during the concert like Matt Bruck does every time you are in sight!

Why go to the trouble of hours in the studio? Because you are a musician dipshit! That's what you do.An NFL player plays-you guessed it; Football!
Got to spend some money?As previously stated, one look at your mansion and it's obvious your sitting on a pile of it! Can't take it with you so go for it!

Here's a novel idea: Instead of being so worried about people downloading for free, just release a few songs every now and again on your website for $.99. You would drive concert sales, back catalogue sales, stimulate your website traffic and sell a ton more of your ridiculously over-priced shit! (see good businessman comment above- what a dolt!)

And finally when you say "There is satisfaction in it, but not when it comes solely at your own expense and when people are only going to shoot it down no matter what you do" --Ive got news for you, said pile of money you have made has not come from you being "shot-down" very often! Take a chance, let's hear it. Hell, now you have my curiousity perked up; I want to hear this "tons of music" nobody will like even more now! Be a man, step up to the plate! I don't think I would be complaining for the lack of support while you sit in your multi-million dollar studio and your multiple McMansions, where you get to fiddle fuck around all day long in the studio or by your uber- pool with the downhill water park slide we have all heard you have! Most of us have to actually have to get up and work and scrape out whatever pitifull exsistence we have! Be humble, be appreciative-don't be a dick nuckle!

You've always said you would end up playing "Bavarian Cheese Whistle" or "Tuba" and some of us who have given you tons of our hard earned money over the years would probably be dumb enough to buy even these efforts from you! I just wish you were this scared before the release of "How Many Say I"- maybe we wouldn't be having this conversation.

You weren't to worried when you put out that jem of a record Diver Down, now that was a piece of shit, yet there we were to buy 1984 from you with baited breath- even knowing full well you were gonna experiment with the keyboards! I'd say the general public and the millions of fans have been very kind to you over the years! Shouldn't you give back a little? You don't owe us anything, but if a person posseses the talents you have and that God gave you; they are meant to be shared!

Ed, what do you have to lose? You sure as hell can't be worried about your reputation or lack of one at this point (see 2004 tour)? The looney tunes ship you've been aboard sailed long ago! No one can take you seriously at this point, but here's your opportunity to right the ship. One final effort with the "diamond one' for old times sake might just regain or give your rep back and the respect you crave! Then quit or retire and feel good that you regained some cred for your twilight years. Go out on top shouting at the roof tops, don't go out like a little bitch with this bitter, woe as me act. Get one for the Gipper! Bring back smilin' ,flyin' Eddie and get rid of this Edward guy we don't much care for! You can do it dutchman!

The one band that comes to mind that does still sound pretty much the same is AC/DC and they ALWAYS sound the same.

Eddie is reaching for shitty lame ass excuses to put out there when its more than likely that he cannot come up with shit.
He is a pussy plain and simple and I cannot wait until people like Kimmie come back in here and read all this hate towards him since yesterday. the guy deserves it all because he has done the most unthinkable. HE MISLED HIS FANS, even myself who has been one of the biggest Ed apologists on this board has now soured against him and I will not buy a ticket for the next tour nor will I buy the fucking lame ass video game that he has his son on trying to be classic VH. It would all change if this were just some big shitty misinterpretation of an interview and there actually is new music coming but I have lost hope of it.

Just fucking go away Eddie and stop trying to pimp your useless shoes, video games and ugly guitars on us. RETIRE ALREADY, we've had enough of your bullshit.
