So i must follow up on Jayda's inquiry on the NC thread to yoda boy.

Jayda....Just going OT here Nick, but really curious how your turn around love fest thing happened with ED? So interesting to read those old posts you made. Would love to hear about your turning point

Here is the location and web history for the SJN backstory!! It gives the insigh to Jayda's inquiry and more about what Fish was probing.

Banned from SOY for things, Scorned at old FansofLive by the old die hards for trying to push SFBM and how it's the bees knees and there we have it, he buys this site and turns it into his personal ed sasusage fest, then after his trolling and attacks on CC&P and every other thing Live / TGF is doing..... can hide no longer he sells it in order to turn tricks as Ed's admin. Mind you this is all prior to the revelations of ultimatums, secret contracts and the split.


Love it!!! A fraud and not a real Live fan. A CHOADE!!

I LOVE THE SMELL OF NAPALM IN THE MORNING!!!!

I'm surpised at how many posts have been on-the-money in this topic. I was ready to fucking hurl when I heard this news. Live has become a farce. Seriously, how can we take them seriously anymore. And to everyone who says that this will bring Live more publicity, I heartily say, Fuck that. I am so fucking past caring whether or not Live's music is popular (and the same can be said of most artists I like). Really, why should we give a flying fuck if The River gets more airtime on the radio, or if Live's music becomes exposed to more people, or if Nickleback-fans (those assholes) get introduced to Live, or this or that. I can't think of a better fucking way to degrade your own music and embarrass yourself than this. People, face it. Live has sold out. Just another 90's band that sold out in the end. And frankly, I hope this is Live's last album, because releasing increasingly shittier music and exposing the extent to which they have become washed-up only damages their reputation, in the eyes of me and many others. Why should Live sacrifice (what used to be) their musical integrity in order to appeal to the mainstream? Why the fuck should they even bother going on releasing albums? They say they're still on their little spiritual mission, but I seriously couldn't give less of a fuck. I hate seeing one of my favorite bands ever going straight to the dumps.

Oh yeah, and Nickleback blows.

Sorry to come back and start off with such a harangue against the band. Actually, I'm not sorry. Live just sucks this much, I'm afraid to say. They should be ashamed of themselves.

This from the man who has seen Live 0 times in concert and who complains about the setlist for the shows he doesn't attend.

Live signed with a major label. They are now expected to back up their contract and sell albums. That means playing shows that help bring in new fans. Selling out? It is doing your job. Live is making music they believe in, and while it may not make all of their old fans happy, it is different and their new album has a real shot to bring the band a great increase in popularity. Not a bad thing at all.....

LOL! Since you're basically the person on here who only cares about popularity/publicity/radio airtime/picking up new fans, rather than about the quality of Live's music, why am I even bothering to respond to you? Why in fuck does it matter if I've seen zero shows? That doesn't mean I don't know anything about Live's music. Does it automatically give you superiority if you've been to more shows than I have? No, I didn't think it did. Why does it matter. I can still tell when a band is selling out to mainstream rather than making valuable music. Obviously you can't. Instead, you'd just rather dwell on how they signed with a new record label and how they're going to increase their popularity and how they're going play shows that may bring in new fans, and so on. So, I say to you, see in music the artistic components and not the popularity factor. Because when judged by their recent albums, Live is just another sellout in a long list of 90's bands. Except this is more painful to watch (and listen to).

I like the new music. I like the old music. I don't feel there has been a drop in quality whatsoever. I like the direction the band is going in, and think the new songs are really amazing. The lyrics are powerful and the songs are catchy and just fun to listen to. So to say I don't care about quality is just plain false. I liked We Deal in Dreams, but I thought it was a sub-par single for the band. The River is just a better song for the radio and in my opinion the best single Live has released in quite sometime.
