Another York, PA band that started out a mile from where I live. I'm not sure how I missed their rise to fame, but apparently a lot of people dig them. Very talented bunch and I can see why people who enjoy metal would like this band. She's hot to boot - can't hurt.

Didn't know they were a York band, no wonder I hear about them often on here. They were fortunate to be one of the only female rock bands out when they launched their single, great timing on the part of their label and management.

KM had some interesting things to say about CCP in that interview that Dangum recently posted in the CB thread. Maybe he's on to something?

Wow! I had to wait until the 22:30 mark in the video to hear that, but that was really quite telling! I didn't really expect to hear Kevin say something like that about CCP and Ed and the split. He knows more than any of us about it, and he seemed to characterize it differently than anything I've heard. To paraphrase: Ed was the principal song writer in Live. Check. Ed's a really hard worker and go getter. Check (that much is obviously clear). CCP are laid back, relaxing, pot smokers who do their own thing and wouldn't keep up with or go along with Ed's program. Check - I mean, wha? Hey, maybe that explains the littered streets of broken promises and slow-walking progress. And Kevin says (and has been saying) that they should get back together. And CCP has said it is up to Ed whether he comes back. But Chris Shinn is in the band now. But Ed is welcomed back. And Kevin knew Chris is now in the band as of May 2012 when he did this interview, after he introduced Shinn at the Strand Dress Rehearsal. Is Chris permanently in? SHould I move on from Ed? Is Shinn working on music with CCP? Are CCP working on music? Was Ed not really all wrong? WTF is going on here?!?!?!

22:28 mark "I am friends with Ed and I am friends with the guys who have a band with him." Have present tense?!?! As of May 2012, Kevin had introduced Chris Shinn as the new lead singer of Live.

22:32 mark "I think that at some point, Ed being the main song writer, just got fed up with the guys not working the way he works and, uh, he works very very hard. He's a busy human being and those guys tend to like to sit back and enjoy their lives and you know, uh, smoke a little weed, and you know kinda hang out and do their thing, and I think that Ed really had a new vision for the band and the guys didn't agree with it and he started making some kind of crazy demands...."

23:08 "To this day I keep trying to tell the guys 'work it out, work it out'". How am I supposed to feel about Shinn? Should I burn the Ed bridge and move on when everyone is still waiting for Ed to walk back through the door?

Seriously, this whole Live situation seems more and more F'ed up. I don't even know who I should want to hope is the lead singer. I sometimes think I would have been more happy if they all just went on with TGF and tried like heck to make that work.

Candlebox thread in Other Music. Just go to the 22:00 mark.

Ed tried to fix what wasn't broken.

He tried to change the direction and vision of Live and succeeded for a time.

If the group had not disbanded then you would be seeing CCP in the video on this thread with the same exact smiley Ed prancing around and butchering lyrics and singing Alive songs from the "newest" Live album.

Ed is washed up and Shinn is fresh and shiny and new. CCP have a renewed passion for making Live music.

That is all.

Made the mistake of watching the Lifehouse video from the same show. Now the song is stuck in my head. Yuk!

working so hard" here and on FB lately?

people really need to "light up a cigarette and....calm the F down"


It will happen, we saw a preview....it was very very good...it will only get better.

Seriously, this whole Live situation seems more and more F'ed up. I don't even know who I should want to hope is the lead singer. I sometimes think I would have been more happy if they all just went on with TGF and tried like heck to make that work.

First off, are you sure Kevin said "have" instead of "had" in the earlier quote? I heard it as "had."

Second of all, I don't think Kevin should be the gospel on the situation. Candlebox' music has gone in a direction that is arguably similar to BoP (note I said BoP NOT SFBM). His perspective as the songwriter will undoubtedly be different. I can't imagine he and the guys from Live agree on this.

Third of all, I'd rather Live end than have Ed come back. He's completely flown the coop. I'd hope that Kevin is referring to their friendship, unless CS has gone away.

Fourth of all, you are spot on with TGF. I'd rather have more TGF records than Live or Candlebox records given the state of the two bands. TGF could be fucking special and both parties should have given it more time.

That may be so but doesn't change that the guys need to get some people around them who know what they are doing with promotion.
