Radio Commentary, 89X - Detroit Options

[Hoodstock]

I was driving in my car yesterday and "I Alone" came on the radio. It's been a while since I heard a Live song on the radio, so I cranked it up. Immediately after the song this was the commentary by the radio host:

"That was I Alone by Live, who is no more. They broke up a while back over money issues. The lead singer, Ed Kowalczyk, just released his solo album Alive, which is in stores now. It's actually not doing very well ... at all, kind of like Live the past few years"

Alright Nick - You're pissing me off so I'm going to air this out.

No, I'm just curious why he didn't mention the topic of the message board. Is it a shameful one to post on?

I have to say that post really pissed me off. You're suggesting, in a backhanded way, that I'm ashamed of things I do. Have you even read the quote in my signature? The forum is on gamespot. I've actually posted direct links to the board in the past but nobody has given a shit before, so why would I bother to mention it again? If you want to find it dig it up yourself.

You said that you liked Ed's album and other Live album's from the past decade. I guess you judge what's good based on the opinions of other people?

What? I've never said that I've liked any of Live's albums since TDTH. I'm on record numerous times stating I'd still like my money back for V. (Apparently if Chad had his way I would have never paid for it). As far as new songs here's exactly what I like since TDTH:

1. Simple Creed
2. Like I Do
3. Sweet Release
4. Beautiful Invisible
5. Radiant Sea
6. Purifier
7. The River
8. Love Shines

You can throw in Heaven as a so - so if you want. That's it. Not even enough to make an album. I enjoy a few songs and I've had no problem saying it in the past because many of them get ripped.

On Ed's Album - I said I like it. After listening to it a whole lot I've found I really care for 6 songs (almost as many as the previous list - so I give it a little defense now and then):

1. Drive (but the lyrics suck)
2. The Great Beyond
3. Grace
4. Stand (but the lyrics suck)
5. Zion (like the song, not the fact that it's another about Zion like Purifier)
6. A New World (although he talks about the world ending like in White, Discussion)

Fuck he writes about the same damn things over and over and over again.

As for this quote:

I disagree. TDTH came out in 1999, so they haven't released anything good in the 2000's.

I'm talking albums. Live has not released a new album that has been worth a shit since October 5, 1999. They all suck. In fact, thinking about how they tanked really pisses me off.

They have a few songs that I persoanally enjoy but that's it.

Ed's album is not Live, not even close. If you take away A New World, which isn't even on the album, I like 5 out of 11 songs. That's less than 50%. So do I enjoy the album, ya - cause I like the songs I mentioned.
