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?

hahahaha DOLPHINS CRY, I totally forgot about that one.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 02:05 (twenty-one years ago)

the song starts out okayish and then it gets to the chorus and you're like 'Can I hear the dolphins WHAT?'

"Lightning Crashes"

oh you have got to be shitting me

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 02:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been hearing that song on the radio a lot lately. Pure Pearl Jam lite with Ed making sounds that no human should be proud to have created.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 02:27 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry man, it works. The only time their self-importance was even close to merited.

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.

I'm shocked at the amount of "classic"s in here.

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

― billstevejim, Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, but growing up in SE PA, these guys were so dudly they willed themselves classic. they wouldn't stop touring the area! and the mythology surrounding them was ridiculous. every roommate i had in college would tell me something about this band (they useta be skinheads/nazis, you know) - one d00d went so far as to hang a picture of them promoting whatever tour it was in '97 in our room!

VISIT ONE CHAMELEON CLUB.

Don't get it twisted, Bill - it was ROCK RADIO'S FASCINATION W/ GRUNGE'S MESSIAH COMPLEX IN TOTO that paved the way for Creed.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:37 (twenty-one years ago)

What was the name of the single that preceded "Lightning Crashes" - I have vaguely fond memories of it (esp. in light of the turgid duddery of "LC").

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Lest we forget HER PLACENTA FALLS TO THE FLOOR.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:39 (twenty-one years ago)

i alone?

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.)

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:42 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost david - why am i reminded of that scene when mel gibson and homer rewrite mr. smith goes to washington? "it's a metaphor. he was angry!"

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:43 (twenty-one years ago)

No, not "I Alone" - the acousticy one that sounds a lot like REM. "To love a God, to fear the flame, to burn a cross that has a name" or something? And then he busts into some "EEEEEEEE" "Lion Sleeps Tonight" belting?

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 16:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, wait, I just remembered part of the chorus - "we won't be raped / we won't be scarred like that". Acropalyptic self-castigating middle-class poo-poo. I revoke my vaguely fond memories.

SELLING TEH DRAMA!

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Ding ding ding GONG!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:20 (twenty-one years ago)

-- blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.lif...), March 15th, 2005.

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.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

careers like Live's (and Third Eye Blind's, and Hootie & The Blowfish) kind of mystify me, because they have like 4 or 5 big singles off one album, and then can't get a hit as big as any of those after that one album. so they're not really one-hit wonders, but it's like their fame lasts for exactly one album cycle.

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 17:38 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah al - i agree, but strangely the marketing for secret samadhi presented them as though they were the new number one band in the world! i recall turning down invitations to see them - i simply didn't get it, even with the local connection (imaginary, you betcha): i thought they were like dave matthews band.

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!)

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:05 (twenty-one years ago)

it seems naive or short-sighted to imply that it was an especially mid-90's phenomenon, but it really seems like it was, doesn't it?

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's a 70s & 80s phenomenon, too (though probably more 80s than 70s) (and more new-wave than anything else I can recall) (though maybe some R&B acts fall into this ditch, too).

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:17 (twenty-one years ago)

RAISE ONE LED ZEPPELIN

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Led Zeppelin did arena, but they didn't do 'spirituality'

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd venture to say that the line between "arena" and "spirituality" is angel-hair thin.

CALL ONE WHO ROCK OPERA.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 18:25 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah but Zep practically invented "middle eastern-tinged hard rock"

― Al (sitcom), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:09 (twenty-one years ago)

> 4 or 5 big singles off one album, and then can't get a hit as big as any of those after that one album

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

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 19:41 (twenty-one years ago)

"middle eastern-tinged hard rock"

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

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

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

"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.

― marc h., Tuesday, 15 March 2005 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

I still think "Machine Head" & "Everything Zen" (& "Glycerine"!!!!) (on the Tonight Show!!!!) lapped those Albini-abetted bad boys from Razorblade Suitcase. And the remix from the Julia Delpy werewolf flick.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 20:52 (twenty-one years ago)

yes, but growing up in SE PA, these guys were so dudly they willed themselves classic. they wouldn't stop touring the area! and the mythology surrounding them was ridiculous.

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

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 15 March 2005 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

oh dear god - i had a hand-me-down hooters tee shirt. i wish i knew what happened to it (i'd be so sad if i lost it) - and my mom went to high school with john oates (north penn represent).

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

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 04:04 (twenty-one years ago)

"Swallowed" has aged surprisingly well. I still prefer Sixteen Stone to Nevermind (except for Polly), I guess I was two years too young for Nirvana to really hit me (but was just right for the pretenders to the throne).

― milozauckerman (miloaukerman), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 04:18 (twenty-one years ago)

this thread has become...cumbersome.

― blackmail.is.my.life (blackmail.is.my.life), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 04:44 (twenty-one years ago)

Don't get it twisted, Bill - it was ROCK RADIO'S FASCINATION W/ GRUNGE'S MESSIAH COMPLEX IN TOTO that paved the way for Creed.

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

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 05:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Beavis & Butt-head watching "I Alone" was pretty classic, where they're talking about how the drummer forgot to bring his sticks so he has to just run around like a jackass through the whole video.

― daria g (daria g), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 06:02 (twenty-one years ago)

"I thought they were in the van, heh, heh."

― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 07:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually he had the sticks, but no drums, so he kind of air drummed with the sticks, I think.

― nickn (nickn), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 07:52 (twenty-one years ago)

he did!!! and the singer was bald with the one long braid in the back!

― Al (sitcom), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 08:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually he had the sticks, but no drums, so he kind of air drummed with the sticks, I think.

Are you sure you aren't thinking of INXS?

― Jeff Reguilon (Talent Explosion), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 16:55 (twenty-one years ago)

He's thinking of Journey.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 17:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually he had the sticks, but no drums, so he kind of air drummed with the sticks, I think.

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.

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 20:18 (twenty-one years ago)

The hair growing back was UPSETTING him! He was trying to keep the hairs DOWN!

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 20:21 (twenty-one years ago)

Or he was stoned. My once clean-shaven pate was palmed by some stoned chicks in college. It was grooovy. Then I went back to reading High Society. Well, skimming, really. Almost sorta like ogling.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

the video was directed by Tim Pope.

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

there's a brief part involving candles and a tree.

― miccio (miccio), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Was the tree on fire?

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 16 March 2005 20:25 (twenty-one years ago)

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.

― JoeStork, Friday, 24 February 2023 18:03 (three years ago)

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!

― omar little, Friday, 24 February 2023 18:08 (three years ago)

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

― JoeStork, Friday, 24 February 2023 18:27 (three years ago)

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
