Live and Epic Records Part Ways, Band removed from Website Options

[SJN1279]

It seems that Live have finally parted ways with Epic Records. While the information isn't confirmed, Live can be no longer be found on the artist page at Epic Records found here:

To me this is great news, because Epic never supported and terribly mismanaged promotion of Live's latest album, Songs from Black Mountain. They sent Ed on a long promo tour but cut it short two months before the album was finally released. Couple that with frequent album delays, and disjointed touring in the US, Epic ruined any chance for Live to garner sales with their latest album. Throwing them on Red Ink and not capitalizing on an American Idol appearance was the final straw for me as a fan.

Now as let's hope the band sticks together and finds a new label that will show Live more support than they received from the band killer known as Epic Records.

What do we want? Live to sell millions of records again, and suddenly everyone is a Live fan, and when you talk to people in concerts and mention MJ an TC they don't have a clue what you talking abbout. Or do we want Live to be"ours" band. That we are the people that know about this great band, that now one ellls knows about. I'm not sure. Of course it's a better chans for the band to stay togheter if they start to sell millions again.
Here in Norway I just know about one other Live fan, and that was the guy that said that I had to listen to TC. For all my friends Live is just J.I's (me) fav band. It works fine with me. I don't need Live to get to the top of the charts again, it would be nice for Live, and of course I think they deserves it. But as long they keep giving out cd's, and I got this fab site,Live4evil, Bootlegheaven and other great sites it workes for me.

Sorry, but that anti-mainstream and the band is a sell out argument doesn't work with me. Sure I want the band to sell millions. I want to hear them on the radio every time I turn it on and I would love to share my favorite band with millions. That would mean that they are putting out great stuff and possibly more stuff at a greater pace.

Don't be selfish. Live is not your band. Their music is for the people!
