Ed did an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and had some insights on Līve's quick rise to the top in the 90s.
“It was really just crazy timing,” Kowalczyk said. “We formed in the mid-1980s and got a record deal in 1990. We had a college rock record ‘Mental Jewelry’ that went gold. How could it get better? Nirvana broke in 1991. That was the beginning of modern rock. Then ‘Throwing Copper’ came out. We went from being super inspired by modern rock to being part of it. We had all these peers we never imagined we’d have.”
He also spoke about how he's doing as the only remaining member of Līve.
“There’s been no lack of back of forth and personal drama over the last 10, 15 years in Live’s world from the reunion into COVID to where we are now,” he acknowledged.
“The most amazing compliment the other day on Instagram was about how wonderfully I’ve preserved my voice,” he said. “I learned to sing properly from my aunt. She was my vocal coach. She taught me to sing from my diaphragm. Healthy singing comes from breathing in the right place. You can last longer and put less stress over your vocal cords.”
