Chris Shinn interview on Rockonomics podcast Options

[mattyeagles]

They wouldnt be the first artists to fake a feud

how many of those bands broke up when they had lost most of their fanbase and their music and lead singer were at an all time low to the point that they couldnt sell out a bar

Im not all in on this theory but I dont outright dismiss it.

Probably most of them

This message board has officially gone off the deep end

[OutToDry]

Ex and Bre are enjoying their circle jerk so much that others are grossed out from slipping on the floor

Maybe sinful can put up the out of order sign and help cleanup since he’s become kinda neutral.

Hell might freeze over before this place is sane. If people want to make peace and move on....let them.

Some should move on and make a better life for themselves instead of pounding their fingers into nubs here all for the sake of causing calamites. Losers at life some are but that is a choice one makes.

And if the aforementioned want to reply. I give zero fucks!! Losers

[Hoodstock]

LOL!

Do you guys not follow this band? Live has a hard enough time properly announcing a tour or promoting an album. There is no way they conceived and carried out a multi-year fake breakup plan.

In addition they are not mainstream relevant enough for that plan to even matter. They weren't selling out stadiums this summer. They weren't in the media or all over the news. They were selling tickets on Groupon and opening for the sorry and pathetic Counting Crows.

its all about the festivals, those gigs pay. Chris shinn paid huge. Theyve had way more press with the breakup, seperate tours and reunion. If they stayed together theyd have their new single Believe and then what

Try and name even one band that went from selling something like a 10x platinum album to having a hard time filling a bar, broke up angry, and then decided to come back and reform

Live was filling mid-sized venues in 2009 before the break up. Sold out shows in Starland Ballroom, HOB Atlantic City, Anaheim, Dallas, San Diego, Houston, and Cleveland right up to the end.

Yup, some people here are thinking of The Gracious Few shows..

Well in 2006 they barley filled half of hob ac so i dont see how they got more people by 2009. Meanwhile in 2007 they had maybe half a bar filled in fort lauderdale. Its weak man. It was only going downhill and didnt compare to having two acts and festivals

[sellingthdrama]

In 2005 Live couldnt sell out a bar in upstate NY.

If you mean 2006, you must be talking about the Northern Lights concert in Clifton Park, NY. I went to that one. The venue is literally a bar in a strip mall. It was sad to see them there, but also exciting because, you know, it was Live and it was an "intimate" venue. Not sure why, but they get some decent acts there on a regular basis.

Saddened to hear CS's remarks, but it does kind of make sense. I sort of thought most of this BS was Ed being tyrannical, but CCP have shown it takes twooooo to tangooooo. Ha!

that is correct. Surreal

[Existentialist]

The last time I saw Live play it was in March 2009 in a parking lot venue behind a bar that drew about 200 people in a city where they played the biggest venue in town and drew about 15,000 10 years earlier.
