What is the most embarrassing thing Live has ever done? Options

[edstipe]

First off, I'm not trying to stir anything up here. However, I would be lieing if I didn't admit that I have been embarrassed by the band on more than one occasion -- and I assume that others have been, too, based on some of the comments on this board over the past few years. To be honest, Live has done some things that I would ridicule any other band for doing, so it's time to call them out for it.

So here it is...a poll to determine Live's weakest moment thus far. I tried to come up with the 5 that I have seen criticized most often here, although I don't necessarily agree with all of them.

Have fun!

I'm not going to Vote because what I would pick is not on there.

The Shelby Lynn duet-Not really embarrassing but at the same time-it sucked. what was the point? Edismyhero you seriously think that the Shelby Lynn version is better than the one on BOP? If that is true than I'm not sure what to think of yah, guess ya just like softer Live or something.

Anywho I love 5 and SFBM is a little weak but yet still better than almost anything on the radio. Plus the SFBM songs are great live.

American Idol-this made me seriously question whether the band had sold out or not.

Oh my God Nickelback sucks balls! they have the most mindless meaningless unintelligent lyrics, they have nothing to say, they only glam shit up for record sales. I went to see Chevelle last year and they were openers for Nickelback. After Chevelle was done playing I just straight up left, I wasnt' gonna sit and watch a lame ass band play jerk music after just seeing Chevelle rock the stage. Its kinda funny I gave serious thought to just sticking around and waiting for Nickelback to play so I could give the finger to the lead singer, you know kinda show him what I personally thought of his band. but it wasnt worth it anyways, so I just left. I guess I'm kinda used to seeing my favorite bands open for shittier ones. The best is RARELY the most popular.

What I'm most dissapointed in Live in is for not speaking out more on the state of the world. I know its great to be happy with your own life and I'm happy for Ed, but all the problems with the world outside yours don't just go away. They need to speak out more. I searched the bands website and there was not one activism link or informational link. Just other fansite links. sometimes I wonder if they are afraid to speak out more. What are we fighting for? was great but since that song came out they havent really said a thing. Politics aside-I would say "Home" is a pathetic attempt at an anti war song thats really trying not to piss anyone off. They need to let loose. I know that its not Live's responsibility to speak out, they are rock stars, entertainers if you will. But when you are famous like rock stars are, your voice is louder than the rest, you have to take advantage of that. Try to make a difference.

All of this is of course just my humble opinion so do whit it whatever you will
