Collective Soul fans obsessed with knocking Live, Not all, but quite a few Options

[SJN1279]

I've been scanning CollectiveSoul.com the past few weeks, and notice that there are quite a fews threads knocking Live. If you look at both Live boards, Collective Soul have been pretty much ignored since early summer, so what is bringing on the hostility? My guess is that a certain throng of the CS fanbase are jealous of the fact that Live are closing the shows during this Fall tour.

I can understand being upset that your favorite band isn't headlining a tour, but Live opened for Counting Crows almost the entire summer and it was generally accepted because the CC have a larger US fanbase. In the majority of the country, Live sells more tickets than CS. They have also outsold CS by nearly 10 million CD's worldwide. Live would not be the headliner if promoters didn't feel they were the bigger band. Nothing personal, just business.

Just my thoughts.

Collective Soul sucks and their fans are tools. Who cares what they say - they listen to Collective Soul for Christ sake!

Oh, thank you. LIVE and CS are my two favorites and I happen to think CS's latest effort was better than LIVE's. I'm such a tool.

Aren't you being just like them by talking about their band like that?

I'm sure they are saying and feeling the same about us.

It's totally justified. The band that opened for them in Detroit was better. They are seriously one of the worst acts I have ever seen live, right up their with Counting Crows. They are simply bands that sound great on record but suck in reality.

I'm such a tool.

! Like I said their CD's aren't bad but they suck live. In all honesty, though, music is all in the eye of the beholder. To each his own J.Sax. Listen to what ya love and fuck the rest.

I disagree Hoodstock, I don't think Collective Soul are that great on CD either. In concert, they are atrocious and I'm with you on that.

I was trying to be nice, but now that you mention it they really suck! They are actually unlistenable.

Yes, even their CD's suck ass. So don't worry about disagreeing. I feel sorry for anyone who thinks they are good. You need to check your musical tastebuds!
