This!!!

Social media.....all to instant. Cake is in the oven when the recipie is thoroughly mixed!!!

think about how we sent emails, messages to our friends promoting the site to join
some not even knowing what the heck we where pushing
now the lapse, may be hard when it hits. we will all really almost need to start over {promotion of site}
huge fan, just my .02 cents

[OutToDry]

I would expect them to restart the promotion from scratch when its trigger time. My opinion of.course

I am really not trying to be a dick but is it possible everything is taking so long because the music or lyrics are not coming together?

It's always a possibility but I doubt it. All 4 guys are very busy, and even if they weren't you never want to rush that creative process.

Personally, I think they made the decision for Shinn to join but decided it would be best to give his new solo album some space to get out there. No problem with that, I just think those things should have been set BEFORE promoting anything, especially a big website campaign.`

IMO, the best thing the guys could do is put money into getting a cutting edge firm to market and promote them. Spending a lot of money on an album isn't worthwhile from a monetary standpoint if the promotion isn't what it needs to be (see TGF). That's just my opinion, but the guys seem to have only partially adapted to social media and not really adapted a web 2.0-type band personality.

From Live's Facebook, just now:

"Wow, the excitement around here is incredible! Your spirit is contagious. Freaks4Live is already a huge success with several thousand email signups already registered. Those who do register will receive a very rare audio track from the +LIVE+ archive (previously unreleased). Don't forget to register and promote to your friends as we're giving away some amazing prizes!"

What track would it have been you think? I think it might have been "Cheetah" (which we have now). If Freaks4live gets active again they should actually deliver on this, as it was promised already. I think they didn't release it because it was an Ed w/ LIVE track and they were in the thick of things with Shinn.

Seems like deceptive E-mail marketing.

[vivapokey]

I think another case of CCP over promising and under delivering. They get way too ahead of themselves and the follow through is usually underwhelming or non-existent.

Then all of a suddenly they'll do something like drop the Churchbox demos out of nowhere.

Man, that unreleased track is so intriguing to LIVE fans since it was probably from a time when they were amazing. I have read on here that there were alot of good songs left off of "V" (according to Chad T.) that are not spoken of much. I would love to hear these since i really like "V".

[Shared Belief]

yeah i know live has a ton of great songs on the shelf.

it would be foolish of them not to add/rerecord some of them if they do a new album

hold me up probably the best bullet left in the gun. add in a few others and it would at least give an edge to the album in the event it has any bop/sfbm type songs. could work out nicely actually

Came across this random website information online. Apparently the old Danica Patrick Super Bowl ads worked on Live because they went with godaddy for their website.

Also appears that thebandlive.com no longer leads to their site. I was hoping they would eventually switch over to that instead of freaks4live.
