Non-argumentative 2011 "All Over You" thread Options

[thefunkyredcaboose]

A place to actually discuss the new recording, since it's the first actual recording of new Live we've heard. Obviously, I really have no power to enforce the non-argumentative part, but I hope folks will oblige as the actual musical discussion is non-existent in the other thread.

I am excited about how great the band sounds, what a ballsy rehearsal! New lead singer sounds great, sounds like Chris to me. I think it'd be nice for him to dial back the Ed-mulation a little (I know others don't hear it/care/agree but I hear it mainly on the verses), but I think it's undeniable that he can carry the songs and do them well enough to make the songs enjoyable in a live content.

What it is really going to ride on is the new material. This recording for me shows that the new lead singer can do what's needed to perform the old songs, but will the new songs be good? That's really the only unknown for me right now. As I've said before, I'm not crazy about hearing the old stuff, but it's a necessary thing and I think it'll do.

Thank you for creating this thread. For me, this is the greatest news in the live world since Mall Rat was released and to see the board fall back to it's squabbling ways sickened me. It reminds me of the person at the family reunion who won't forgive some slight that occurred between them and a relative 50 years later. You have moved on and I thank you for it.
I think you should also edit your first post to include the original links (like to the mp3) for any rekindled live fans so they won't have to dig through that mess of a thread.

Back to the thread topic! I agree that new material matters but we can't pretend that sounding like Ed isn't a giant bonus. People HATE it when the singer sounds too different. Whenever I heard Dio try to sing Sabbath Bloody Sabbath I couldn't bring myself to enjoy much of the new material. Just my opinion

Truly exciting times to be a fan of live.

EDIT: I agree they should redo an old song like Mother Earth or Good Pain rather than LC or IA.
