Ed, come on, are serious?

Saying they're not interested in any form of mass appeal? Why the hell did they make the effort to APPEAL to the pop masses by making music geared to a specific audience when they realized their music wasn't APPEALING to rock fans anymore?

They deliberately made music to target an entirely different audience. It speaks for itself, therefor there is no argument about it. It is cut and dry.

Also, saying anybody who thinks Live's recent music is shit isn't a real fan? That's seriously one of the most assinine comments I've ever heard made. People voicing objective comments and opinions regarding Live's recent work has nothing to do with being a "fan"

It has to do with being honest with themselves regarding music that is simply, well...no good? I can say with relative confidence that this bands last three efforts have sucked ass lyrically, plain and simple. Filled with cliches and utter simplicity that is pretty much embarassing to listen to. I can quote 100 different lyrics that are so utterly lame, you could easily mistake a ten year old to have written them. There are no bridges in the new music, taking away what made Live LIVE pretty much, their anthemic sound. To be quite honest, as sad as it is, most of their new music is at most 3 chords on guitar and the bass non existent. The music is flat, boring, uncreative and lyrically inept.

NOW, does that mean I'm not a fan of the band as you say? No, it means I'm not a fan of their new music. No need to make it any more complicated then that. I don't roll my eyes and refuse to listen when they play it in concert. I just don't like it, plain and simple. I am just as much of fan as I was when TC was at the height of its popularity pretty much.

Your comparison to an author per say was just as assininine. Just because I think a guy wrote two or three shitty books, I don't like him? When i happen to enjoy the other 50 he has written? Quit trying to justify your own points of view with your assininine analogies. Any intelligent person can dissect them faster than you can say your own name. Not to mention that you're insulting the intelligence of people who are most likely quite a bit smarter than you are.
