Recently this board has been very VERY boring... I figure I need to, in honor of Hoodie, make an opinion thread:

What do you think is the best Live song title and which do you think is the worst?

In the world of song titles, Live is certainly average. For me, cool song titles are something like...


The Frayed Ends of Sanity ~ Metallica
Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter ~ Iron Maiden
Disasterpiece ~ Slipknot
Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict ~ Pink Floyd

Lame examples from other bands include:

This Man is Mine ~ Heart
My Humps ~ Black Eyed Peas
I Cried ~ Robert Plant
Untitled ~ Any band that does this sucks...

My nomination for worst Live song title is Love Shines (A song for my daughters about God) Eww... it still makes me sick vomit.gif

Nice idea, some of my favorites of all time would be:

Morrissey - My life is an endless succession of people waving goodbye
Morrissey - I have forgiven Jesus
Ween - Mister, Would You Please Help My Pony
Ween - If you could save yourself you'd save us all
TISM - If you're creative, get stuffed
Rammstein - Rosenrot
Mr Bungle - Everyone I Went To High School With Is Dead
Nick Cave - There she goes, my beautiful world
Nick Cave - Abattoir Blues

As for Live..

Best:

Heropsychodreamer
TBD
Beauty of Grey

Worst:

Love Shines (A song for my daughters about God)

Its quite possibly the worst song title I have EVER heard from any band ever, mostly because you know it's dead serious.

That Morrissey song title is awesome! It sounds ripped straight from Bright Eyes lol lol.gif

I agree fully on Love Shines... When you first read the album, you wonder if maybe it's just kidding, but it's not... ugh.

Kinda reminds me of Black Sabbath's "After Forever" It is basically the most christian song out of a normally dark and brooding band. Lyrics include:

"Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love"
no.gif no.gif no.gif

Live didn't backslide as far on this one... but It's still a backslide overall when you think about OS or StD.

I think its more like Bright Eyes ripping from Morrissey tongue.gif

A few other good Mozza ones:

"Don't make fun of Daddy's voice"
"Please help the cause against lonliness"
"I've changed my plea to guilty"
"Something is squeezing my skull"
"You're the one for me, fatty"
"Whatever happens, I love you"


and yeah totally, I could except just "Love Shines", its average, but so what, most song titles are. The parts in the () though is like Ed is daring people to laugh at him in the street.
