I hate American Idol. I never watch it and basically could care less about the radio friendly shiney happy people. Yeah, it's good exposure for LIVE, I guess. I mean obviously they want to appeal to the masses now. Too bad. I wonder if the next step is to sell Lightening Crashes to COKE or Sprint or something

Of course I'll be watching. I never said I wouldn't watch. I just hate American Idol. And I am a true fan, contrary to your implication, I just like to explore different viewpoints. I never really gave a crap whether Live was radio friendly or not. But obviously they want to be now. Fine. American Idol was the last place I expected them. But fine, great for them. I guess I am always fearful that bands may sell out, not that Live has intentions of doing this...but I really hate that when that happens.

Gee, so sorry that I irk you...you must be really sensitive or maybe just quick to judge.

I have been a true Live fan from the beginning. I am new to this board and I am open to having discussions with out being insulted! It's fine to disagree but to be rude to someone is just not cool.

Well your post did irk me and still does.

You hate American Idol and never watch it. fine. I'm not a huge fan either. so be it.

As far as I knew EVERY band has a single from their c.d. on the radio for the 'shiney happy people' including myself. I'm not sure any band puts out a single that isn't radio friendly.

You 'guess' it's good exposure for Live? 50 million people. I don't think that's 'too bad'. The AI audience is not made up of just 13 year old girls. I'm sure the average age would surprise you. And if they want to 'appeal' to the masses is that a bad thing? Getting exposure and making new fans and selling a few more c.d.s? If you feel they're selling out that's your call.

And if somebody wanted to use their song for a commercial is that the crime of the century?

I mean who are we to say? Who are we to be so judgemental?

You do have the right to your opinion. If you feel you were insulted or I was being rude that's your problem.

Your post didn't sound real positive and all I'm saying is that if your a true fan you support them 100%. You don't have to bash them for their choices or decisions.

I'm fairly new to this board also but you'll never hear me questioning the band or bitching about how bad V is or how I hate this song or that song or why they did or didn't do something or any of the other countless complaints around here.

I've loved them for 15 years and will continue to until they stop recording. And even then I'll keep on loving them.

Your post and fans like you irk me.

As fans, we can express positive AND negative reactions. It's not always one-sided and happy and if it were, that wouldn't be real. In fact, it'd be phony.

I can't stand fans who are always "looking at things on the bright side" policing those who have a difference of opinion and tend to be on the negative side. There's nothing wrong with it. It's called being human.

No one HAS to support them in their decisions 100%. No one.

Who are we do be judgemental? We, the consumer, that's who. We, the hardcore fans, have kept this band from fading away completely. We're the ones who help them make their millions. We have a right to express how we feel...and that doesn't make me or anyone else less of a fan than you.

It's a message board. Get over it.
