Live live on after losing their Ed

When Live take the stage in Perth, it will be the band we might love — but not as we know them.

The 20-million-selling Pennsylvanian quartet, known for charging alt-rock hits like Lightning Crashes and I Alone, will introduce fans to their new singer at the Red Hill concert alongside English hard rockers Def Leppard.

Forty-one-year-old Chris Shinn, formerly of Unified Theory, joined the band in 2012 after the departure of Ed Kowalczyk in 2009.

“We look and feel and sound like Live but Chris has his own piece of ownership now,” founding member and guitarist Chad Taylor says. “We had to give into the powers of being creative and embrace a new band mate.

“I was really precious about our band: this sacred thing that I wanted to return to its original form. I never anticipated the end of an era or the birth of a new one.

“What’s exciting now is that we keep feeling this great sense of anticipation,” Taylor adds. “This is a band re-inventing and we’re out to prove something.”

As kids who got together for a school talent show, their biggest dream was to write songs and perform for people. Over the years Live have lived that dream to the full.

Taylor is thankful true fans have stuck with the band and understand “what rock’n’roll really is”, including supporting the release of their new album with Shinn, The Turn, released in October last year.

“It has been hard to be a Live fan in the last few years,” the guitarist concedes. “When I was a kid I remember having conversations with Ed. We were Beatles devotees and said we would never wind up like them — we would never break up.

“I never thought it would happen and I’ve lived right through that and watched a great relationship and a brotherhood shatter and fall apart.”

Having gone from a teenager when the band formed in 1988 to a man while in Live is a daily reminder for the guitarist that they are blessed to still have music in their lives.

Taylor insists Live still make music for their soul, not for commercial purposes, no doubt helped out by the band “owning a bunch of companies”.

“My expectation has always been to make great music, not sell albums,” he says, “and there’s a great freedom in that.”

Live play Red Hill Auditorium on November 21, with Def Leppard and Baby Animals. Tickets from redhillgigs.com.au.
