Great review Good_Pain, thanks for sharing.

But this part hit me the hardest, that your thoughts went to your best friend.
That shows who you are, a great person (although I have never met you) my respect today is for you and your friend!

Big shout out to Donno, you are a hell of a good guy and thanks for your thoughts on my late best friend (RIP Nathan, you were as big a fan of +LIVE+ as anyone and even though you’ve been gone for 8 years you were alive and well in spirit Monday night).

Did not work
I think I would have to catch Live in Holland if they are there next tour

THAT would be awesome bro we can Rock Together with the other +LIVE+ Dutchies you know!

[jayda]

Did he or does he?

He didn't. And I dunno if he should or would. I didn't get that "Omg you're so hot and I wanna jump your bones" feeling when I saw him like I do when other band member are on stage.... Not mentioning any names.

I felt more like he was a brother type. So sweet and vulnerable, you almost wanna protect him. So I dunno about the shirt off and seeing him as a sex symbol just yet.

Is that weird??

either! J/k really but awwww, he sounds so sweet

I think I can see what you're saying in the vid and photos.

thanks!

[+Ed+]

My head is still spinning with all the news here. Could not have imagined that FANSOL would become pumping all over due to GOOD news!

Damn, I watched that vid over and over again. How nervous Chris is! How hillarious his jumps over the baby powder are! How he tried to tear his hair off while singing. He searches for himself in this band and we all have witnessed it, even me, across the sea.

Can not wait to see what the future holds to us. Damn, so much more to come.

What a rush reading this entire thread late on a thursday afternoon. Fish mate, FANTASTIC photography. You should be Live's official touring photographer. Ask them, you might get a job doing what you love. Seriously. Adam Taylor reads these forums, he's using your stuff. ??? This is not an unrealistic pipe dream. This could and should be your gig.

Funkyrecaboose, you clearly are a professional article writer, no? That write-up deserves publication, man that was inspiring and top shelf. And Good Pain's review; intimate and joyful! Didn't realise your history with this band and community was so involved. It almost makes me embarrassed of the stupid drunken posts and flippancy i so frequently expose everyone to!

Whats going on here is almost like a dream. Im at the point where i wont be embarrassed telling my friends that Live is my favorite band. Who woulda thunk it a few years ago? That a little rock band from smalltown USA could, 25 years on, generate this kind of passion, energy and love of the only fucking thing that matters, the music!

I LOVE the fact that this massive homecoming event can be celebrated yet also honestly criticized by true fans and not degenerate into spiteful negativity. The new singer screwed up some lyrics, was nervous, lost his way in places, yet here on these forums we hold him up on our shoulders like a sporting champion that has just taken home the championship trophy! We WANT him to succeed, we WANT him to lead this Live army into battle and be inspired. The setlist left some to be desired, the closer could have been different, we aknowledge but go on the journey WITH THEM and can talk openly about our feelings without there being an atmosphere of taking sides and being politically correct about the whole affair.

Nick im sorry, but you can clearly see in this thread that we are capable of healthily criticizing our "idols" if you can even call them that. Whereas you cant even bring yourself to say that Ed screws up here and there, its all light and rainbows with you when it comes to him. This chris Shinn dude fucked up at times and thats a beautiful thing. The dude was playing live songs on his guitar as a kid. Now he's in the fucking band!!! I would KILL for that opportunity if i could sing or play a guitar or write a song or get a weird ass haircut!!! How many times ive sung TDAOC in the mirror when shitfaced imagining i was the singer in front of a sea of people, and this motherfucker got to do it and motherfucking owned! I hope he reads this thread and sees the support he actually has and gains a shitload of confidence from that, because at least then it wont be misplaced confidence like the other guy. Shit man, really?

This is a new era. What do we call it before the album drops? I spose it's already unnoficially been recognised as Live 2.0, which isnt a bad thing. I like it. Fucking call the album that. fuck'em

someone come up with a new Live logo design too. just do it!

[thefunkyredcaboose]

Ugh, so ignorant on so many levels:

A) He's new to the material and he's focusing on it. It's his first show. Do you really think he's gonna be wandering around the stage aimlessly on his first night?

B) Considering you only seem to be a fan of the band from BoP through Ed's Alive album, you'll need to check YouTube for the clips of Ed from the early/mid 90s who had tons of energy but barely interacted with the crowd.

C) Ed's interacting so much with the crowd was fun at times, but he often just looked like he was doing it to not be utterly bored. He showed no emotion with the lyrics.

D) Do you really think Ed stripping off his shirt making, most of the audience laugh, when he barely had a body to speak of was "good stage presence"?

E) Chris obviously seemed far more into the words and songs than Ed has in the last ten years. He wanted it to be a good performance and was obviously putting his heart and soul into it.

Don't get me wrong, I was a big, big fan of Eds for most of the run of LIVE. However, your arguments are petty and unreasonable.

The ignore button, it is your friend!

Wam what has gotten into you? Are you... sober??

[Wambangalang]

un fucking fortunately

[jayda]

Wam what has gotten into you? Are you... sober??

Was wondering the exact same thing!

You're quite articulate when you aren't sloshed, aren't you?!

Enjoyed that as much as your stupid drunken posts

[Pokey]

Wam what has gotten into you? Are you... sober??

I can see Funky's thought process reading Wam's post "Hey, this makes sense! ...why does this make sense? this doesn't make any sense!"

I kept looking over to make sure it was him.

[rock4adiference]

I know he said something, but the beauty now is I don't have to read it Even though we all can summarize what was said any ways. See folks it's a beautiful thing if your not ignoring now get on board.

DITTO!! I like this feature!

[fan24]

Girls only reply thanks - does CS take his shirt off?

Hahaha he definitely does NOT take his shirt off!!
