Biggest wish(es) for the new Live record! Options

[thefunkyredcaboose]

With the guys finishing up the record this week (wish we knew if that was recording, mixing, or mastering!), what are your biggest wishes for the record? I'll get started:

-I want to hear PD play slap bass. He is so freaking good at it and I think it adds a whole new dimension to Live's sound.

-I'd like to hear CT give us one more solo like Honest Man. I know he doesn't like solo'ing, but that solo is awesome and perfect for the song, just like his Graze solo.

-One re-recorded b-side that we've never heard. I don't want an album of this, but I'd love it if they dropped one b-side on the record like New City, Change (I know we've heard it but I'd love a good quality version), or Wash the Blood Away. That would be smoking.

-Good album art. This is subjective, I know, but the last 3 Live albums have had really uninspired art. I'd love to see something truly unique like TDTH or TC.

Great topic.

I want one song (really just one song) that is the next Lakini's Juice. Something with a killer guitar riff that is just pedal to the metal. How cool would that be?!?! How cool would it be to hear that one in concert?

I want lyrics on several songs that I could easily confuse for the philosophy of Jiddu Krishnamurti.

I want one ballad-like song like Dance With You or Turn My Head.

I want two or three songs with that magical soft Live tone of songs like Sparkle and Run To The Water and Where Fishes Go and Face, Feel The Quiet River Rage and Ghost.

I want three songs that sound EXACTLY like they could fit in with songs like Peace Is Now, Pain Lies on the Riverside, Good Pain, Negation, etc. Stuff with urgent, angst-filled vocals, smash-mouth, trash can lid-sounding drums and thumping bass.



I honestly believe that when I hear this new album, I am going to get goosebumps and have that emotioinal response that you get at the emotional peak of an oscar-winning drama.

I hope that when this album is released, they set aside everything else in their lives and unapoloogetically tour and do promotion and make this album a force to be reckoned with. I really have very high expectations and I don't think I will be disappointed.
