"Lakini's Juice" C or D?

Of course, I like the single from the album after this one about the dolphins, so what the hell do I know?

oh you have got to be shitting me

I also like "White: Discussion" OK and the bridge to "I, Alone" is pretty awesome, but besides that "Lightning Crashes" towers miles above the rest of their catalogue.

It was Live who paved the way for Creed, who as everyone knows is the devil. So in essence, Live was the antichrist.

VISIT ONE CHAMELEON CLUB.

i couldn't escape this band between '94 and '97. even my dud first host brother in DENMARK like these fukkers.

ME: WHY DO YOU LIKE THEM, ANDERS?
ANDERS: FORDI DE ER SAA GODE?
ME: OH I GET IT. YOU LIKE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SO GOOD.

/conversation. things didn't go well with that host family. (he also loved pearl jam.)

haha, yeah, everyone I know who's from a certain part of Pennsylvania seems to have a "we saw Live when they were just getting started" story.

I think the sequence of Throwing Copper singles/videos was:

Selling The Drama -> I Alone -> Lightning Crashes -> White, Discussion

with All Over You somewhere in there as a big radio hit with no video. White, Discussion was the one that I thought was tolerable, at least at first.

in fact, it's hard to imagine them having been that famous now. also: alanis morrissette to thread (re many hit singles, and then poof!)

SEE ONE RATTLE & HUM

CALL ONE WHO ROCK OPERA.

Bush to thread, better that the rest, green to red, Bush to thread.

oh I'm not pretending this song could exist in a "Kashmir"-free world

"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.

so what yer saying, then, is that live were THE HOOTERS of the 90s?!?

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".

Are you sure you aren't thinking of INXS?

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.

" there's very little distinct about the bass, guitar playing, and drumming in this band"

What was that <i>Throwing Copper</i>-era video where Kowalczyk is singing and grooving with great rockstar chrisma, while the rest of the band look confused at the camera like doofuses?

Ah, it was "I Alone". Yeah, after I saw this a few years ago, I pretty much wrote off the rest of the band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNrQOUtXYOo

One of the best bands of the 90's hands down. Such intensity in Ed's voice.

Listen closely to the bass in the verses.....so ominous and chilling....sounds like a living creature, its breath rising and falling. Amazing. Track gives me goosebumps. Earphones, loud!

Live has always been a thinking persons type of band. The way the music and lyrics are laid out are very artistic and intelligently arranged. One of my favorite bands from the 90's

This is the one song that convinced to buy some good speakers. It was about twenty years ago. Live deserves the best. My Mom loves Live. They are easily underrated, but loved by all.

i associate this band with a friend i had from about 13-15 yo named m!tch. his dad was a software guy who did office-y looking mini wood and wire sculptures on the side - lots of aquamarine speckled with yellow, that sort of thing - dilbert vibes. m!tch and his dad were alright, i went with them to my first concert (dave matthews band lol). i never quite had m!tch's enthusiasm for live though.

highly recommend anyone who hasn’t heard it check out their song about having sex on a couch in the middle of the club.

key lyrics

We hit a couch, the place was packed
With sweaty palms, sweaty thongs, and sweaty backs
My mouth was dry, my brain cold high, the groove was right, so I decided to ignite
Your eyes met mine, you skirt began to rise, and so did I
Now you know that i took that prize
In the middle of the club, in the middle of the club, in the middle of club
Now tell me!

I like how there’s a completely baffling reference to the death of Christ just so you know you’re still listening to Live.

i try to ruthlessly interrogate the opinions i had when i was a teenager but one that's remained unshakable is that the lyrics on secret samadhi are among the most embarrassing ever penned. and they just got worse from there

i love "lakini's juice" though i can't deny, potentially because it is one of the dumbest songs ever made

I keep hearing MORE SKIN

in the voice of that one zombie from Return of the Living Dead

no one:
ed kowalczyk: DRUNK ON YOUR JUICES

Nothing was worse than "Heaven" imo

i got the juice like lakini

rappers feel free to use that

Lol

still baffled that i would hear "heaven" occasionally on the adult alternative station that played all day long when i worked at carvel. a band that ran out of ideas several albums ago was now trying to become christian train

Nobody call me on the phone
Like Live, I alone

lakini pouring from the sky, let's get rich what

It was the type of Christian song for Protestants who smoked

Xxxpost

lakini pouring from the sky, let's get rich what
