Band Name Origins:

They were originally called "Public Affection", but they didn't think it would be clever enough. So, they came up with "Live", and it stuck. It makes for some interesting discussions when talking about them. Submitted by: Beau McClelland
The band was called "Public Affection" for several years. It was during the recording of their first major label album that they realized this was a stupid name and quickly chose the name "Live" in order to get it to the press in time to put on the album cover. Submitted by: bt

Why the Name is Stupid:

When I search for them on napster, it just gives me mp3s of bands that are playing live. How much does that suck?? Submitted by: PhoenixPyre

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Freaks"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

If the mother goes to sleep with you,
will you run and tell Geraldo?

Why They're Nonsensical:

Yes, Ed was drunk when he wrote this. Still, that's no excuse for this wacky lyric.

"All Over You"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

Our love is like water pinned down and abused for being strange.

Why They're Nonsensical:

How the hell can water be pinned down and abused? Or strange? Strange water? Was it contaminated or something? You know I really love the musical part of the song, but after listening to it so many times you have to sit down and ask yourself, 'What the hell is that guy talking about?'
