Talk:Live (band)

message: Live needs disambiguation. Does this page refer to the verb "to live" or does it refer to live as in a "live performance" or "live" as in electricly active. Or, does it refer to a rock-band with the name "live"? darkside2010 14:12, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I keep on seeing LIVE and Live... which one is it? Gflores Talk 08:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: With these latest changes, the band's name keeps alternating between Live and LIVE.  Personally, I prefer Live, but will live with the capitalized version if that's they way it is agreed upon.  I'd like to hear officially which version is correct, but it is minor enough that it shouldn't matter.  --Mtjaws 14:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Official name? 

message: Why was the Bootlegheaven.com web site removed? It's a legitimate fan site that has numerous Live concert recordings..
Need to decide on which links to keep and which to get rid of. The official band site is okay, along with the myspace links, but this many fan site links should be avoiding in compliance with WP:LINKS. SpigotMap 11:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

message: "LIVE gained international prominence in the 1990s as one of the most successful rock bands of its time." - Errrr excuse me but weren't there A LOAD of other bands far more successful than this one ? Koubiak 12:28, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, seriously, I've never even heard of them. Just seen some commercials for their two newest albums, it seems... Well, I think this should be removed anyway. It's not really the neutral presentation that Wikipedia should give, is it? --Ifrit 20:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: International prominence? Not too sure about that and I have never heard of them. --Siva1979Talk to me 20:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: In their native USA they aren't really popular from what I have heard, but in Europe (e.g. the Netherlands) they are really popular and can be considered one of the most successful rock bands. Klas3b 19:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: People need to realize that whether <I>they</I> have heard of a band is irrelevent on whether a band is popular.  As a matter of fact, yes, Live was an incredibly successful rock band in various parts of Europe, as Klas3b mentioned.  However, it's also true that the comment was not NPOV, especially since it is very hard to back up a comment like that.  Regardless, kindly keep your knowledge or ignorance out of Wikipedia - the site is about facts, not your limited opinions. Harukaze 17:04, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Secret Samadhi is post-grunge, too. In fact, pretty much all of Live's albums until Songs From Black Mountain are both alternative rock and post-grunge, but Songs From Black Mountain is both alternative rock and rock, imo. James25402 01:31, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Mental Jewelry was definitely part of the original grunge movement. I can't speak for Death of a Dictionary, but people from around Red Lion (their general area of York County) remember Public Affection's being a local grunge band in the '80s. If they merely continue in the grunge sound after its heyday, does that make them post-grunge? BlueCaper (talk) 07:36, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

message: I saw the little message in the main section saying that the big block of history needed sub titles, so I split it up into sections with seperate titles. I also renamed The Live Lounge to FansofLive (Live fansite). I thought that anybody who doesn't know what Live Lounge is already isn't really told by the title, whereas the new name tells them what it is. Cheers. --Lovemonk. 16:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I really doubt we are ready for a page for a new album. Have they even started to record yet? Has any announcement been made about it? I'm sure they will eventually release a new album, but with so little/zero info, it is best to wait on making a new page.  --Mtjaws (talk) 21:12, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  9th Album 

message: I see someone has taken it away. Shouldn't it actually be there? It was released on the same label as DOAD, and maybe didn't sell anything, but still, it's as much of an album as Awake? Maybe. --Lovemonk. (talk) 21:01, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You present a good point. I was the one who initially removed Radiant Sea from the albums section. I have since relisted it under the EPs section (which I slightly modified to read "Compilation Albums & EPs"). I also renamed the "Albums" section to "Studio Albums", and consequently moved Awake from that section to the Compilation Albums section. Although Radiant Sea is being called an "album" by Live's official website, there has been an incredible amount of debate throughout the fanbase regarding the legitimacy of this labeling. Regardless of it's recognition as an album by the official site, it is essentially no more than an exclusive fanclub release of previously limited concert recordings (with the exception of the two new songs, of course). It is my belief that only full-length studio albums with at least a staggering majority of new songs should be listed under "albums". Things along the lines of "best of" albums, EPs, demo recordings, concert recordings, fanclub-only issues, and the like may be noteworthy, but they are noteworthy within their own category. I realize this may seem a contentious issue for some, and it may be met with certain dissent, but it is important to recognize the distinction between different types of releases. Swamilive (talk) 03:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was going to put it back since you had removed it twice now, but think it is now in the best place within the Compilation category.  Thanks for explaining it and bringing it back.  --Mtjaws (talk) 20:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Radiant Sea Album Listing Issue

message: Should this band be listened as a Christian rock band? The band may just be like Creed, but there still more songs that they have that talk about faith and stuff. Would it be a good idea to label them as a Christian Rock band?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Narisguy (talk • contribs) 11:03, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Rather than just adding a genre, which I find rather tiresome and pointless, some mention could be made abut the spiritual nature of some of their music, including giving examples of lyrics? It will be interesting to see how spiritual the lyrics remain if the band are "reborn" without Kowalczyk. Iangurteen (talk) 15:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I think this new information should be added to the article. Thoughts? 203.38.50.116 (talk) 04:52, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I remember when that was posted and thinking, "That's Ed!" - I've just listened to it again and... "it's ED!" - I too can't wait to hear the new songs with the new vocalist...but this isn't it. Thegraciousfew (talk) 06:54, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Of course it's not Ed. Are you aware that Ed Kowalczyk is not going to be part of Live's new lineup? The recording was made a few months ago. Why would Live upload a track featuring Ed's vocals when they're recording their new album with a new singer? 124.148.221.161 (talk) 04:30, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, well the original link went to an alternative take of Run To The Water, with ED singing. The new link does indeed have "I Alone" with a new singer, it sounds great, but the new guy (whoever he is) is deliberately impersonating all Ed's vocal mannerisms. Let's hope he has a style of his own! Live are being deliberately vague and cryptic about the new singer, so let's wait for some concrete news before updating the page.

message: Could someone please look up and add a list of their most well-known songs, perhaps in a list showing how long they had a song at it's highest spot in the top 100 or something? That's what I came to this wiki hoping for, but it wasn't readily available (I read the table of contents, and didn't notice the info). Thanks.

However there has been no official confirmation.
