Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Livenote pronunciation is the form of the word that rhymes with "hive" is a Alternative Rock band from York, Pennsylvania. Originally formed as Public Affection, the group changed its name to Live after the release of one album. After the modest success of their first album as Live, the group skyrocketed to popularity in 1994 with Throwing Copper, on the strengths of the singles "Selling the Drama", "I Alone", "All Over You", and "Lightning Crashes". Their next two albums were well-received but not as successful, and with their subsequent albums, they slowly dwindled in popularity. Singer Ed Kowalczyk split from the group rather acrimoniously in 2009, and it reformed in late 2011 with new singer Chris Shinn, formerly from Unified Theory. However, as of December 2016, Ed has returned as the band's lead vocalist, with the official website being redone to completely 86 any mention of Chris Shinn's time with them. To take it further, the album they recorded with Shinn, The Turn, has been removed from all digital music outlets and is nowhere to be seen in their official discography either.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })MembersCurrent Chad Taylor - Lead guitar, backing vocals Patrick Dahlheimer - Bass Chad Gracey - Drums Ed Kowalczyk - VocalsFormer Chris Shinn - Vocals Adam Kowalczyk - Rhythm guitar, backing vocals (Unofficial member)Discography The Death of a Dictionary (1989, as Public Affection) Four Songs (EP) (1991) Mental Jewelry (1991) Throwing Copper (1994) Secret Samadhi (1997) The Distance to Here (1999) V (2001) Birds of Pray (2003) Songs from Black Mountain (2006) Radiant Sea: A Collection of Bootleg Rarities and Two New Songs (2007) Live at the Paradiso – Amsterdam (2008) The Turn (2014)

Cluster F-Bomb: "Shit Towne" repeats "Gotta live, gotta live in shit towne" twice in each chorus. "Waitress", while not vitriolic, has enough cursing that it's a wonder it didn't earn Throwing Copper a Parental Advisory sticker.

Important Haircut
 Live (Music) / int_4655ec83
comment
Important Haircut: Kowalczyk shaving his head down to a single braid in between the videos for "Selling the Drama" and "I Alone" and then completely shaved it off to go fully bald. While he does outgrow his hair from time to time, he's nowadays more recognisable with the bald look. From then on, their videos started getting really trippy and artsy, at least through the songs from The Distance to Here.

comment
All Drummers Are Animals: Chad Gracey's wife calls his on-stage persona "Walter", because he seems to become a completely different man behind the drum-set. While he's big and imposing, he's also currently the most clean-cut looking member of the band.

Reincarnation
 Live (Music) / int_50f5dabe
comment
Reincarnation: "Lightning Crashes" suggests that the 'old mother' who has just died has been reincarnated as the newborn baby down the hall. The band itself "reincarnated" with Chris Shinn taking over as the lead singer and the return to the rougher sound of their early days for a few years before the original line up regrouped.

Hated Hometown: Patrick, the Chads and Ed all grew up in York, Pennsylvania, in a rather rough neighbourhood with many "crack-heads." Ed in particular was known to constantly badmouth it. "Shit Towne" was written about their time there.

comment
Precision F-Strike: "Stage", "Freaks", "Voodoo Lady", and "People Like You" all drop one or two pointed F-bombs, although in all but "Voodoo Lady" (where the lyric is a quote from her), they're rather gratuitous and out-of-the-blue. Ed would also regularly insert the f-word in live performances of "Lakini's Juice".

Word of God has said that they wrote the lyrics while in Jamaica after they "got a little friendly with the local gardener". This could be true for most of the songs; however, not for "Freaks" as it was performed live as early as 1994, a whole 3 years before the album was released.
