With Live basically going off the grid during this pandemic which way do you think they will go?

yep - It's a 2-year hiatus, we all know what that means.

When they got back together, I figured it would last through the 25th Anniversary of Throwing Copper.

Whatever happens next, is more than I expected.

Really? You didn’t think they would release one full album? Your expectations were incredibly low (and probably correct).

I figured a full album not an EP before their tour in 2018.

CCP probably shot down alot of Loy's songs.

Sorry, I can't tell, is this a joke or sarcasm?

If not, what is a touring guitarist doing having any input into a 4 piece band's songwriting?

That's why they are Loyve, not Live.


It makes me wanna barf up my breakfast. I'm not against studio musicians or touring musicians if they know their role and sound good. The girl who sings on Ghost, The string section on Lakini's juice, these artists don't overtake the band and go for songwriting credit. That would be ridiculous. Same goes for Railo's electronics and piano on V, Chris Thorne, and Adam Kowalczyk. They know how to complement the music, whatever Live's style is at the time.

It's not Loy's fault. Of course he would say yes to piggybacking onto Live. He's just a dude trying to make a name in music. It's all Ed's and CCP's fault for diluting the music. They just wanted to cash in. No production value from Jerry. No songwriting efforts. Let Loy take over the songwriting and guitar playing on stage. Let 2 other drummers take over the drumming. Make the whole festival ridden Throwing Copper cash grab as easy as possible. No Hold Me Up performances necessary.

While Loy doesn’t bother me, I can say I very much agree with your post and understand where you’re coming from. Did you like 717?- I can’t remember. I’m just curious if you’d feel differently about Loy if you like(d) LL, Giver, & Brother. Because maybe that’s why what he’s doing doesn’t bother me (as you say, can’t blame him). At the live shows I don’t even notice he’s there.

You guys already know what bothers me the most, and that’s the lack of commitment from Līve since the reunion; to themselves and the fans. That’s all on ECCP.

With all the progress being made on a vaccine, I’m betting the Australian tour has a legit chance of coming off.
