Reviews & Discussion
In the 90's, you couldn't switch on mtv without seeing a new alternative rock group on the tube, and this band was more than just another band. They embraced the craziness of bands of the time (nirvana, jane's addiction, primus, et al), but as a twist, they brought the mind of a poetic frontman and a daring (yet still conservative) guitarist in the mix to spice up this original band. They've been written off as a wannabe-U2-like band, and they've been subjected to being noticed only by Ed's bald head as their icon, if you will. I loved Secret Samadhi and Throwing Copper...excellent songs which ranged from country-esque strumming to feedback-riding torment-filled songs. Definitely check them out if you love any of the bands out now in the indie scene because I'm sure that some of those bands took lessons from Live.
