Big Ed: The Interview That Never Was

[vanzilla]

Fuck it man. I'm getting Libby on the horn and seeing if Dave won't fucking step up to the plate and answer some questions. Sure he doesn't owe us anything - but it would be interesting to see if he'd do it.

Maybe theres too many questions? Then again, you did say he could pick and choose. How did he word it in the emails? As a "Id love to, but" or "NO!"

Here is the email he sent me:

Mezro,

The questions you presented are very real and deserve honest answers. I am sure all the Dave fans want the record set straight. Unfortunately, as I mentioned in an earlier email to you or Sarge; I have emerged back into the music industry and any defamation toward another artist may retard my growth in the industry. It seems as if you are going for the throat with Dave. Maybe at a later time I would be more inclined to answer such inflammatory questions.

Ciao,

Big Ed


Mezro...I have no beef with Ed - just wish he would have answered one question....

[DlocRoth]

Seems a little dickish.

He did. Read between the lines of phrases like "you're going for the throat", "any defamation towards another artist", "inflammatory questions".

If you were, say, Justin Hawkins, would you consider entering a business partnership with someone who is going ot do nothing but smear you ten years later?

Big Ed is doing right. Unlike Ed VH who will still bitch about DLR to this day to anyone with a microphone, Big Ed is staying out of it.

I've heard that as well as selling something "embellished".

Pure rumor-mill stuff.

Don't take it to the 7-11, much less the bank.

I got to meet Big Ed in 1999 at the first DLRML Convention.

This was before Dave laid the lawsuit on him.

He was a really nice guy back then; who knows? maybe he'll come through down the road for us all!

Some of those questions are pretty disrespectfull towards Dave, are you sure you are a fan of his?

Yes, Mezro is a HUGE fan of Dave and his work.

The point is that Dave is far from perfect and has made some odd fucking career choices (for example, listen to the pile of shit called "Diamond Dave).

The questions were hard hitting, fair, and honest.

Mezro doesn't fucking throw softball questions out that are answered with lame bullshit responses....not his style, nor the style of the DLR Army.

The point of an interview is to get info from an inside source, not read canned comments in response to softball questions.

[WARF]

Can you really expect Ed to answer some of these questions?

Well... I am kinda disapointed... I wanted to know more about the SKYSCRAPER/ POMPADOUR/ COMBOVER LMAO!!!

What a bullshit answer!

What kind of fan would I be if I just followed blindly? Can you say sheep? Not my style at all.

I for one think Dave has made many shitty career choices as a solo artist and I have the right to wave a fucking finger at them and ask questions.

Mezro...everybody walks on eggshells around Dave...afraid to ask hair questions...afraid to question anything...fuck that...I will ask...

[jero]

Who were TK/The Keepers? Are these the same ad guys that sued David ? If so, why did Dave stiff them?

Mezro, those guys were "2 Guys Who Do Ads"
Never heard of them since, even their website is off for about the same periode as the lawsuit!

I've never heard anything about this case, did you??

[DavidLeeNatra]

to be honest...as a fan I want him to answer this questions...but as the brother I see him once being for dave I want him to shut the fuck up and be loyal...I imagine my partner telling "road stories" once and I don't want him to...

EXACTLY.

Here we are giving the VH brothers and Sam for talking shit about Dave, but here we are talking shit about Big Ed because he WON'T.

Ed is doing right here, both by Dave and as a professional in the music industry.
