Name the +LIVE+ community
by LIVE on Wednesday, 20 July 2011 at 12:19

We've started a +LIVE+ community and now we need your help in naming it!

The name will be used as the URL for the official +LIVE+ web page as well as the central hub to new music, ticketing, events and fanclub perks. What should we call ourselves?

The name should reflect the global community of +LIVE+ fans & the spirit of inclusion. The URL must be free and available (do your homework at sights like godaddy.com)

The winning submission will receive (2) lifetime tickets & meet n' greet passes to any +LIVE+ concert world wide (travel not included).

Post your suggestions right here and the band will announce the winner in the near future. Once the sight has been named, the band will also announce a contest to promote the page (details will follow the announcement).

Suggest as many names as you like but keep each suggestion in a separate post, please.

Ed is still marketing himself as from Live. But again, you don't care about the actual MUSIC. When it comes down to it, I don't care if Ed markets himself as "Ed from Live", "Ed formerly from Live", or "Live's Ed Kowalczyk", I would care more about the quality of music that he is producing, and the band that is producing it are absolutely terrible. You care more about the name and how that will effect sales, but god for once focus on the MUSIC, and judge that after you've heard it.
I love this "uproar" you're talking about, as if Live have many fans left. Its not exactly going to be a following of Beatle-esque proportions one way or the other. And yeah they'll probably lose a whole bunch of fans who either don't like the new direction, are against Ed not being part of it, or like yourself, only care about Ed. But they also may gain a whole bunch of respect because they're plying their craft from other fans, they will gain joy of being able to carry on the band that they birthed and really if you don't like it then find something else to latch onto and love, focus on your disney or your hulk hogan. Because Live is changing and you and many others might not like it, but it's happening.

The fact you believe that what they are doing is totally based around money, yet all the dubious shit Ed has done to make a buck you're totally fine with. Not everyone is as financially obsessed as you.

Once again, why are you still here if Live has nothing left to offer you? You have clearly made that decision already. Hang out on Ed's facebook page and discuss how wonderful he is, because when we talk about Live's past music here that included Ed you don't even join in the discussions then. So, why are you still here?

You can lead a horse to water..... Many have tried to enlighten him including yourself and some very insightful posts by fish. CT's latest fb posts pretty much lay it all out. Live was always bigger than the name itself. And while Ed lyrically and vocally captured the essence of Live (for a while), he too was part of something much bigger. As CT has said, things changed over the years. But what Live stood for in those early years still resonates with him, CG, and PD. They desire to rekindle that essence that can only be described as Live. Only they will know if it means the same to them. The fans will have to judge for themselves. Making a judgement beforehand is steeped in fear. Those that cling steadfastly to their vision of Live don't really understand what Live was about in the first place.
