All Access Pass

On the latest All Access Pass with Billy Kidd, Billy talked to Chad Taylor and Chris Shinn, Guitarist and Lead Singer of Live. In the interview they talk about the band’s new album, and adding Chris Shinn to replace former singer Ed Kowalczk. Listen to the complete interview in the audio below.

In the interview Chad talked about the bands newest album saying, “It’s called ‘The Turn’. Eleven brand new songs from Live, and it’s our first record in 8 years.”

Chad followed that up by talking about the other members of the band. “Patrick Dahlheimer and Chad Gracey are the epicenter of Live. They’re the foundation that Chris and I get to sand on. Guitar Players and Singers have a tendency to suck up the glory in rock bands. The Truth is… both Patrick and Chad they actually are the real magic,” Chad said.

Then Chris touched on what it was like joining the already established band. “It’ wasn’t like I won a contest… I’ve known the guys for a longtime and it was a very slow process,” Chris said. “We grew into it together,” He continued.

“It was all about his talent, and then most importantly the work environment that we have is so healthy now. There is a lot of laughter and a lot of joy,” Chad Added.

Chad continued, “Chris came at it with such a perfect perspective to be able to really get the course and now that we’re on that course it’s very easy to maintain.”

” We’ve been very precious and careful with this music and I think it shows,” Chris finished.

Chris comes off very full of himself. More than I would expect.

Please explain why you think so. The DJ used language which sounded a little challenging, then he apologized after Chris answered with conviction. And you cannot dispute that LIVE was a collaboration of a group, not the names. It was a brotherhood and a band dynamic. It was wonderful with Ed up to a point, and it's back in the wonderful state if you cared about the first 4 records.

You just have it out for them, that much is true. Move on.

The Turn is no where near the first four records in quality IMHO, and chart position(fact). Hell, in my opinion, The Turn is well below quality of Live's last three records, and chart position(also fact).

Well your "humble" opinion makes up a very small percentage of people who have actually heard the album. And chart positions have nothing to do with the quality of music. (fact)
