I mother earth was great, so are ediwns 2 solo cds he hasnt put out a cd in 4years, anyone on here know if hes making another cd or whats hes up too.
If you listen to Edge 102.1, he walks past the studio alot. They seem to mention it everytime it happens.
I was working stage crew in Bufaalo around 94/95 and talked to him for a little while before a Buffalo EDGE fest. He seemed like a really cool guy. At least to me he was anyway.
I hear he likes underage girls, at least that is the rumour why he was booted from IME. don't know the facts though.
Oh ya, they make fun of him because hes usually wearing tight leather pants when they see him

Good thing you're perpetuating the rumour though :roll:
From wikipedia:
Around the end of the tour schedule for Scenery and Fish, IME shocked many fans and reporters when it announced that Edwin would be leaving the band. From that point, it was mentioned that Jag Tanna wrote the majority of the band's music (while jamming with his brother and Gordon), that Chris Tanna wrote all of the lyrics, and that Edwin was merely there to sing. This and the usual "musical differences" proved to be sore spots for the vocalist. Citing unmanageable tension, the band "mutually" agreed to part ways with Edwin. The remaining members insisted that they would carry on under the I Mother Earth name, and announced they would be searching for a new lead singer. Edwin fulfilled all his contractual obligations with the band, including the EdgeFest '97 tour, and left in late summer of 1997. IME itself ended up in bitter disputes with both EMI and the band's management (Capitol had inexplicably dropped the band prior), and subsequently broke ties with both.

That's just the nice way to talk about a breakup. You can't belive everything you read in WIKI :lol:
Call me crazy but I liked Brian Byrne as the IME front man better. I hope he gets back with IME again, I saw them a couple years ago and they still kicked ass.
That Edwin song "Alive" was perhaps the worst song ever written by somone not affiliated with Nickleback. No wonder they didn't let him write lyrics.
Ain't it good to be alive?
To feel the sun, strong against your face
Strawberry blonde waves of silky hair
Spills over me like the milky way
Ain't it good to be alive?
Ain't it good to be alive?
Alive, alive, alive, alive
Wow. Did Raine Maida start offering a course or something?
"Mom...did you go in my room and take my Pez dispenser?!"
Bad lyrics, good lyrics; regardless, Edwin & The Pressure friggin' rocks! It should definitely be played at "11". :mrgreen:
I hafta agree.
Edwin Rocks.
I keep on checking on a new album - but the website has not been updated in forever.

I'm not gonna hate on OLP because they seem to be decent guys but I read something that made me laugh. Maybe it's true, I don't know.
One thing OLP has managed, to the band's credit, is its ability to draw in a new audience.
Last night's crowd was made up primarily of young people, aged 18 to 25. It's a trick another great band, the Tragically Hip, hasn't even managed to pull off.
Wasn't that always the OLP audience, 18-25? Or even 13-25?
Anyway, I don't listen to Edwin. God love 'em for making music he loves to make but he doesn't interest me.
I haven't cared much for either of his solo efforts, or any post-Edwin IME.
But Scenery & the Fish is without a doubt one of my 10 favorite albums of all time.
edwin...edwin who???? (this is just my opinion)
Post Edwin IME takes a while to get into. I am not a fan of "Blue Green Orange", but "The Quicksilver Meat Dream" is a phenomenal album. I bought it the week it came out, and listened to it non-stop for about a year. I haven't pulled it out in a while, but I'm thinking about popping it in tonight! :thumb:
