[edit] disambiguation required
Live needs disambiguation. Does this page refer to the verb "to live" or does it refer to live as in a "live performance" or "live" as in electricly active. Or, does it refer to a rock-band with the name "live"? darkside2010 14:12, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Religion
Aren't they a Christian band? FatherGuidoSarducci 01:57, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
- It would appear that they are more recently, with Birds of Pray. I didn't really think of them as a Christian band before that album. muhgcee 09:48, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

- hello father
- no. although the members may have been born into christian families, live is not a christian band. i think their belief system is beyond organised religion. it is about seeing the beauty in everything. its not just a philosophy proposed by j.krishnamurthi. its a very intense way to live. or try to... without assumptions or perceptions of the things we see. their lyrics have gradually moved on from the indivual (sheperd/kaliyuga etc.) to the abstract collective (hero/heaven etc.)
- but this again, is just my opinion so you are free to question it..

- I've always had a hard time categorizing them myself. Some of their lyrics are explicitly Christian, but some borrow from other belief systems. I suppose we could mention that their songs often contain Spiritual/Religious themes from various belief systems. Arianna 13:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Official name?
I keep on seeing LIVE and Live... which one is it? Gflores Talk 08:25, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

- With these latest changes, the band's name keeps alternating between Live and LIVE. Personally, I prefer Live, but will live with the capitalized version if that's they way it is agreed upon. I'd like to hear officially which version is correct, but it is minor enough that it shouldn't matter. --Mtjaws 14:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] external link
Why was the Bootlegheaven.com web site removed? It's a legitimate fan site that has numerous Live concert recordings..
[edit] Most successful rock band ??
"LIVE gained international prominence in the 1990s as one of the most successful rock bands of its time." - Errrr excuse me but weren't there A LOAD of other bands far more successful than this one ? Koubiak 12:28, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, seriously, I've never even heard of them. Just seen some commercials for their two newest albums, it seems... Well, I think this should be removed anyway. It's not really the neutral presentation that Wikipedia should give, is it? --Ifrit 20:03, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
- International prominence? Not too sure about that and I have never heard of them. --Siva1979Talk to me 20:13, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why all capitals?
Why is this article using all capitals for the band's name? Even if it's the "official" name it shouldn't be used, it's more important that the article is easy to read. It should be changed to "Live" throughout the article, with an explanation of the official spelling in the beginning of the article. /Grillo 15:13, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Are they really a post grunge band?
This is the first time I heard that they're considered to be a post grunge. I listen to them a lot and I don't see any resembalence to post grunge. -- Amorphism
They existed before grunge hit, so maybe not. RomeoVoid 16:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
