Introduce Yourself, Let's get to know our fellow Live fans Options

[SJN1279]

I know I stole this topic from SOY, but I think it would be good for us to get to know each other a bit. Maybe then we won't be so nasty to each other when we disagree on nonsense. (I'm guilty of this as well).

I'll start: My name is Nick Sacco and I've been a Live since 1995. My first concert was 2000 show in Hershey and I've seen them 20 times in total(21 will be in Orlando if the weather and planes cooperate).

I'm a health, phys ed teacher, and football coach for a high school in NJ. I usually like my job but just like anything else there are many days where I'd rather stay in bed. I've lived with my girlfriend for the past 3 years and she's nice enough to tolerate my Live obsession. She's been to 15 Live concerts herself and never really gives me crap for spending money on something that I enjoy. (She has a Train obsession, so I always am willing to go when they came around or we can afford to travel).

My other interests are wrestling, movies, Disney, amusement parks, and a big TV/computer freak. Hope I didn't write too much.

Anyone else want to go?

Hello, I guess Im really not new but it has been a while since I logged on. To Make matters worse I forgot my password. Thanks dangum for helping me out with that. I never introduced myself when I started out so im taking the time to do it properly.

I have been browsing the topics for a little while since all the new info on a new LIVE singer. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. I'm excited for CCP and CCCP. Its cool that they love LIVE as much as we do. I have been a fan from the moment I heard Operation spirit at like 2 am on Mtv after stumbling in from one of those high school parties. (to be young again) My love for the band spread to my brothers and together we have seen the band countless times. I loved the intensity, the anger and the thirst to question in the bands lyrics. At the time I guess I was thinking and questioning things the same way. Now i'm 39 married father whos love for LIVE has never ended. During the course I did become a Christian. That dosen't mean I'm a pussy who doesn't want to hear kick ass music and is afraid of the word "Fuck!" if its good music i will listen to it. From Neil Diamond to Kiss to Michael Jackson to The Dandy Warhols to Slayer. If its good its good.

I don't like that Ed changes the lyrics that really bothers me. Thats who you were when you wrote the songs ED! Trust me God isn't going to get pissed and not let you into heaven because you can't say FUCK anymore.

Welcome

My journey with Live has been an awesome one. From Rolling Stone Cover days to the 2nd (or 3rd) to the last show they played in san Diego which BTW was the worst I had ever seen them play. I was plenty pissed. I did sell my extra copy of Secret samadhi vinyl at that show to a fan who was super stoked. Ed stopped and chatted with My wife and I for a bit. Those things made me happy show still sucked.

You know what else sucked is that I bought the 2 year homespun fan club and then they broke up and I didn't get shit! Bummer! Chad if your reading this hook a brother up.

Every record released after MJ I couldn't wait to buy. Including SFBM, TGF and Alive. I think I have over 200 cd's of the band. From regular U.S. releases to Belgium promo's. Its always an awsome feeling when I see something I don't have on Ebay. ( I check almost everyday) Im looking for stuff so if you guys have any rare or just cool cd's let me know if the price is right and i don't have it I will buy it.

I'm not happy about the break up. I did like that both sides went and recorded new music. I thought that would get my band back together. NO! TGF was a cool album, different. ALive was ok. Both Albums had songs I liked. I don't like that they broke up but I'm not hating on any sides. Ed was wierd from the begining but he was rebel weird and I had that shouting White Discussion poster in my Apt. for years caused looked crazy bad ass! BTW White Discussion video is the best! Over the years he did get soft, Music was different but I did try to enjoy it. They are my favorite band! The albums weren't MJ, TC, SS or TDTH but they still played awesome and I saw them everytime they were with in driving distance. I don't know what and who did what to cause the break up but I respect all of them. It sucks but me bashing on Ed or CCCP dosen't feel right to me.

I'm very interested to see whats going to happen with Chris on the mic. I saw some videos of a couple performances and he did sound great. Not and Ed impersonator which is cool and what I was afraid of. Chris has a good sounding voice. I bought has solo album. He sounded a bit like Thome Yorke and then guess what he covers Pyramid song on the album. Cool suprise.
Well sorry for the long ass intro and my rambling. I'm glad to be back surrounded with fans of LIVE! Hope to hear from you guys soon and im ready to partake in some of the discussions. Looking forward to see what happens in the future with CCCP & Ed.

Oh before I forget. Who is This Nick guy you guys always talk shit too!
