I'm aware that Live isn't part of the Seattle grunge movement, but I consider it and them as part of the 90's music scene. I came across this article today:

Grunge Bands: Where Are They Now?

The article itself brings up the general idea that the huge acts during the 90's have faded from the mainstream scene today. Unlike older bands that have hung around on a large scale for generations, this era seems to be lost in the shuffle with the overall population.

The article focuses on the Seattle bands, but it really encompasses all the bands of the 90's. Some non Seattle examples from this era that I think could be added to the list would be Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone Temple Pilots, Live, and Dave Matthews Band (just to name a few).

I was wondering what others thought of this topic, Live, and why this has happened to this specific generation.

Also, I was wondering if you outlined Live with the same outline the author used for the Seattle bands how would you fill it in?

Outline:
- Band Name
- Representative Lyric
- Breakthrough Album Cover Art
- Most Likely To
- Where Are They Now?
- Ah, That Takes Me Back (a youtube clip of the band that represents them live on stage)




Also, with Peal Jam releasing an Anniversary Edition of "Ten", do you think Live will ever do a similar thing with Throwing Copper, and if so what do you think they would include in it to make is special.

Bands of the 90's had angst, and the vocals were harsh on the singer's voice. They got older and lost the angst and energy required to keep their sort of music fresh. Older bands tend to have music that doesn't require the same sort of energy.
