Believe, Recorded Options

[SinfulEyes]

I did a video recording of the entire song Believe. I have no idea how it turned out and if the video or audio quality is any good.

I'll try to post it tomorrow

I listened to it a few more times. and agree with liverocks. This is not really good. It's just verse chorus rinse and repeat, ahh fuck its better than sfbm but still 3min tune of nothing but verse chorus.

I didn't wanna say this but CHAD TAYLOR!!! WTF you have been playing guitar for over 20 years and this is what you call a solo????? I do not want to sound like an asshole, but he should be embarrased. Fuck I can understand that maybe technically your not good (which after 20+ years is not excusable) but to throw such a shitty solo in is just sad. And Gracey's drumming begs to move me ( as a drummer)

and to those cookie cutter fans to come and say : why are u here ur not even a fan rozx!!!!!" I am a fan, a long time fan , and some of us just miss something , it's hard to explain but we all know inside what it is. And if you do not know, then you just DON'T. and you never will.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I always like to hear different opinions. I kinda like the new song myself but maybe Live needs to tweak this song a little more

Lengthen it, spread it out.

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!

I just don't get it. As musicians, don't they sit down and ask themselves how far they can take it? Have they really relegated themselves to making 3 minute, generic, lame ass tunes? I just don't understand it.

They've gone in many different directions. So when does one say, "ok guys, lets make an album that speaks, without having to speak."

You ever listened to a song where the guitar is singing to you? Where you can actually feel the music? For example, the solos in Comfortably Numb? A song that is the perfect example is Purple Rain by Prince. The extended 8 minute version has a guitar solo at the end that sings to you. It reeks of emotion and style. It's not the most technically advanced solo I've ever heard, but it's absolutely fucking gorgeous. No words needed to feel the emotion and intent.

Nowadays, everything is crunched together and packaged to sell. It's cheap and uninspired. If it were me, I'd wanna be remembered for having talent and for being creative. For having done all I could to put out the very best of my abilities.

I'm sorry, but this crap is none of that. I fail to accept that this is all this band has. If it is, I just have to accept that this is it. How sad for a band that once achieved what it did has fallen to this. V, BOP, SFBM and now this? Wow, how unbelieveably sad.

Prince and Pink Floyd, are you kidding? 2 of the all time greatest bands/musicians in their prime, you're dissapointed that Live can't reach that level nowadays? Plus they're nothing alike. Live has maybe 10 songs that go over 5 minutes in their entire career. Sorry, not surprising whne there's no 8 minute guitar solo.

I agree, it doesn't have the Live magic. Maybe I'm on the other end of the spectrum, because I compare this to SFBM and you're comparing it to TC. I'm just glad it doesn't suck.

And I'm not saying we should accept whatever BS they throw at us and be happy with it, but to think they're going to somehow recreate the magic from TC, SS, TDTH is unrealistic in my opinion. So many things have changed in their lives, in our lives, with how music is made and distributed, it'd be near impossible to have the same feeling you had listening to TC as you do anything new.

Again, not saying if you don't like it you're not a fan or need to stick around. But Live is nowhere near their prime, their recent track record has been sketchy. If they make an album with songs like this that's far better than SFBM, I'm not gonna be ecstatic but I'll enjoy it as much as I can.

Yeah, you got a point there. But I'm not expecting them to reach the level of those two artists I mentioned, only to try.

Also, nowhere, no how, did I say I was comparing it to TC. As a matter of fact, I'm not comparing it to anything and never did. Except to say that the song itself takes care of that by itself. It's generic, like everything else out there nowadays.
