Someone asked me today why Eddie and the guys changed their name from Public Affection to LIVE.

And I was floored.

I don't know the answer to that question!

Anybody have any idea??

yeah

after they were about to go for a breakthrough, signed a major label, they needed a more commercial, better name than Public Affection (and before P A it was even First Aid or something nervous.gif ).

But they all came up with some names, but Ed told later he actually didn't want a name for the band at all. Just nameless. For commercial reasons that wasn't possible tongue.gif so he wanted "the most nameless bandname in the world". As most of those names were already chosen (for example The Who), it became just LIVE.
