Just so I know, is that in the past or present tense?

Depends. Do you pronounce Live as if it's an adjective or a verb?

Will you be playing the Reading Festival this year?

Dude, we're playing *every* festival this year. The world has to see how great we are and how ballsy my 5 string signature bass sounds through my custom built Trace Elliot/SWR hybrid.

My entourage will be with me, regaling people of my exploits, like the time I totally did this chick on our tour bus after a wild night at Juggs.
Dude, I totally did that chick.

Live has a song with something in it about saving the whales.

I remember they have videos with them playing with their shirts off and there's a campfire nearby.. The music= the worst U2 elements + Dave Matthew's band.

Live is 1993 music for 5% socially conscious white kids in nice colleges who are members of the "harmless" fraternity down the block. You know, the ones where only 5% of the members are date rapists. Inevitably, they'll graduate with MBA's and drive SUVs. But they probably voted for Gore in 2000. And they probably have a bumper sticker that says something like "Imagine Whirled Peas"

CRAP, CRAP, CRAP.

I worked a really shitty furniture-factory job a few years ago. Sometimes, I would get a ride home from a co-worker (girl).

On the way home, she would listen to the beginning of one of these Live songs ("lots of phaser-song") until it would get to "the rocking" and then start the song over again and repeat the chain of events. "The rocking" would cause her finger to hit the "|<" button, hence, I never could hear the song in it's entirety.

Later I found out the sores on her face were from constant methamphetamine use. She could put the rivets in the holes very fast though.

With much gusto.

crap !

Live seemed to crave the glamour of Eastern Religion without any of the asceticism or spirituality.

"Operation Spirit"?. Soulectomy more like.

Heineken from the bottle and sex with groupies (albeit safe sex - these men had their "careers" to consider) was not what Krishna would have prescribed for Arjuna.

Elements of REM, U2 and Pearl Jam are mixed with commercial savvy.

A competent, if unremarkable, way with a tune and a decent standard of musicianship and still....

CRAP

Fuck Live. Fuck them in their stupid asses. CRAPOLLA.
