"Greedy Fly" and "Swallowed" off Razorblade Suitcase were both pretty big in my high school, tho. And I remember seeing a video for the "Mouth" remix on MTV.

Live were like having a local, Orwellian Dave Matthews Band - omnipresent and always dudly.

I agree. And if it wasn't for DMX there'd be no Ja Rule, but I still enjoy "Get At Me Dog".

actually he had NOTHING. he just hopped around like a jackass in slo-mo mouthing along with the chorus. supposedly thought the video was really heavy and improved by seeing their reserved drummer go apeshit but Live has to rationalize a lot of idiocy to keep from blowing their heads off. Me and my sister used to count the amount of times Ed K. touches his head in that video. He clearly wasn't used to the bald pate.

And I still think they were an odd choice for that 120 Minutes tour with PIL, BAD II and Blind Melon. One of the weirdest packages tours ever, I think.

Classic for sure. My favorite Live single and it sort of sounds like Helmet if they were dynamic and not boring.-- herbert hebert (herbert hebert), Monday, March 14, 2005 3:53 PM (3 years ago) Bookmark Link

this song is still classic. though this was right around the time 'tacked-on strings' was becoming a thing in alternative rock and while they worked effectively here, gtfo with that shit for the rest.
I liked this album, but Live really went to shit after this album, especially when they started putting out shit like "Heaven"

Ha, love this song. did my link to it in the drop D tuning thread remind you of it?

I don't remember a single song off this album (including the one the thread is made for), but I loved that dolphin song from the album that came next.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 16 October 2013 04:21 (ten years ago) link
lol, at least I'm consistent:
I loved loved loved the first two albums and debut ep, but this song and its corresponding album were trash trash trash.
Of course, I like the single from the album after this one about the dolphins, so what the hell do I know?

Dolphin's Cry was hilarious but catchy, the rest of that album was a pile of poopy.

I feel like Ed Ed Kowalczyk seemed to think he was the fucking Yogi of alternative rock pseudo-spiritualism though

lol he got kicked out of the band a few years ago? awesome

hahaha wait, what?
they must be the most faceless band ever without that dude
― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 16 October 2013 05:03 (ten years ago) link
Are they still active without him? I thought it was just a case of them saying "fuck off" and then dissolving.

Live (/ˈlaɪv/, often typeset as LĪVE) is an American rock band from York, Pennsylvania, composed of Chad Taylor (lead guitar), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass), Chad Gracey (drums), and Chris Shinn (vocals). Live's original lead singer Ed Kowalczyk left the band in November 2009.
On November 30, 2009, Chad Taylor revealed that what had initially been termed a "two-year hiatus" was more likely the end of the band, due to what he felt were inappropriate and possibly illegal actions by Ed Kowalczyk,[5] which have resulted in a lawsuit being filed against him by the other three band members.[6] In June 2011, Taylor revealed that he, Gracey and Dahlheimer were to reform Live without Kowalczyk,[7] who confirmed that he would not work with the other three again.[8] In March 2012, Chris Shinn, formerly of the band Unified Theory, replaced Kowalczyk as lead singer.[9]
On January 24, 2012 Taylor, Dahlheimer and Gracey announced that they were leading members in a project to renovate a four story building at 210 York Street in York. Three floors will house a technology company, creating 60 new jobs. The building will also include a brand new recording studio.[17]
The band returned from their nearly three-year hiatus on March 12, 2012, with Chris Shinn, formerly of Unified Theory, as their new lead singer. The new line-up performed before an invited audience at the Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center in York. The band performed as a six-piece with The Gracious Few's Sean Hennesy on guitar and Alexander Lefever on keyboards.[9][18] In July 2012, Live commenced more legal proceedings against Ed Kowalczyk, this time for misuse of the band's name while promoting his live performances.[19]Live's first major tour with Shinn was as part of the Summerland Tour 2013, playing 35 shows across the US. Other featured bands were Everclear, Filter and Sponge.[20]
