embarrassed that I purchased Mental Jewelry shortly after it came out, partly because of Jerry Harrison, partly because I actually liked a song on it

addendum: I have it on good authority that the people at Pachyderm Studios found a "metric ton" of porno mags stashed all over the place after Live vacated the premises.

I've had "Selling the Drama" (I think that's what it's called) playing non-stop in my head the last couple of days since reading that rolling stone article. These songs are so annoyingly catchy and this is reminding me why I got rid of "Throwing Copper" about a year after buying it (one of a handful of CDs I ever sold)
― silverfish, Friday, 24 February 2023 17:07 (one year ago) link
all it took was the article quoting the lyrics "and for christ the cross / and for me the chair". My brain does some dumb shit sometimes.

" 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

Cosmic Egg Healing11 months agocan confirm: it’s 2022 and this song still goes hard af!
Valeen OI2 years agoThis song is a masterpiece.
Matt Barringer6 years agoOne of the best bands of the 90's hands down. Such intensity in Ed's voice.
tangobasso2 years agoCan confirm: It’s 2021 and this song still goes hard af.
Baron Von Sparklefarts6 years agoThe intro of this song is utterly unmistakable. 10/10
Baby Polo6 years agoListen 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!
SystemFailure8 years agoLive 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
Jonas Butler6 years agoThis 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 packedWith sweaty palms, sweaty thongs, and sweaty backsMy mouth was dry, my brain cold high, the groove was right, so I decided to igniteYour eyes met mine, you skirt began to rise, and so did INow you know that i took that prizeIn the middle of the club, in the middle of the club, in the middle of clubNow 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
