Podcasts discussing Throwing Copper, Shit songs off great albums / Albums are Dead / Throwback Options

[dangum]

Yesterday, I did a quick search of Spotify for "Throwing Copper" and came across a few podcasts where Throwing Copper was the topic of discussion. These podcasts run for 60+ minutes each. So far I've listened to 2 of them to completion and have just started the third.

The general gist of these podcasts is to review and discuss Live and Throwing Copper. They give the album a hard time but deep down they love it (or loved it).

First one is called "Shit songs off great albums" by The Golden Ducks. This is a recent podcast (from April 2019). It features an Aussie and a guy from the UK.

The second podcast is called "Albums are Dead". It's run by a couple of Canadians. They basically give a run down on the early history of Live and then discuss each track off the album by hitting up SongMeanings.com (and other lyric sites) and reading people's reviews. beau99 (a member of this site) gets one of his explanations read out.

The third postcast is called "The Throwback Podcast" and it run by a couple of high school friends in their late 30s. I've only just started this one so there's not much I can say about it.

Live - Throwing Copper
March 31, 2020

How does a band reach the pinnacle of both commercial and critical success, dominate the airwaves for a handful of years, only to disintegrate into the ether? That’s probably the question that has haunted the members of Līve for two decades now. The band’s second major album, “Throwing Copper,” was omnipresent on both pop and alternative radio. The video for “Lightning Crashes” was an MTV staple. And then? Poof! After some 8 million albums sold (and a couple of moderately successful follow-ups), they were seemingly gone from the radar. (It could have to do with the fact that in this Google/SEO world, the name “Līve” does not render easily on search engines. Shoulda thought that through, boys!) It’s a shame, really. “Throwing Copper” is everything good about quintessential 90s rock, highlighted by singer Ed Kowalczyk’s mystical/nebulous lyrics.

The Wet Bandits podcast

Sophomore Albums - Throwing Copper, Live - Second Best Sophomore Album of the 90's
The Wet Bandits Podcast

4 June 2019 - 73 min

Mike and Sam finish their discussion on the Christianity(?) of Creed, and follow that by covering Live's landmark second album, "Throwing Copper".

Mike geeks out over pretty much the entire thing.

Sam humors him (but seemingly agrees that the album is good).

If you've forgotten how good this album is, let this episode be a reminder to you.
