hey guys. its really cool that you care and wonder about whats going on with us. we are just chillin out for a while because we do have other aspects
of our lives. we dont lay down the rock 24, 7, 365. we all have jobs, and Justin's brother is getting married this summer in Quebec, so
obviously he has to be out there for that.
that doesnt mean we arent thinking about the next record. and we are not going to do the same thing as the last record, where we let most of the songs
out as we finished recording them. because then some people get bent out of shape when we put them all on the same album. we were really excited to
finally get The Ambition Within out, and then it was kinda disappointing when people (i wont mention any names) slagged us for putting all our songs
together on an album.
anyways, i hope you all dont give up on us, or start trading your Livid merch for other bands merch.
The Livid is alive and well. Thanks for being patient, it means a lot that you guys want to hear more music. Peace

How do you communicate those emotions that are so intense that no physical expression or series of words can even scratch the surface?

although i can't full confirm it, i think i got kicked out of the alexisonfire band because i was really drunk backstage.
you were IN alexisonfire? crazy.
but seriously, Jorge had a good point. just because a band you like doesn't produce music, or play shows at the rate you want, or treat its fans
the way you want them to, doesn't mean that the music should change at all for you. (speaking in generalities of course). PIS, it's just
dumb that you want to hang up your livid shirt and wear some other band's shirt instead. you should still wear it proudly, in honor of what
amazing music they HAVE made, and what music they will make in the future. and besides, wasn't one of your points that they should play more
shows to continue to gain fans? by wearing their shirt, you are spreading the word about the fantastic band that is the livid, regardless of weather
or not they are playing shows.
LONG LIVE THE LIVID is what i say. and rock on

quotation:PS if you need a shirt to replace your Livid one, I'll be more than happy to supply you with one.. for free.
No offense, but I think that comment was totally unnecessary.
In fact, I think half the comments on this thread have been completely unnecessary.
As far as this whole situation goes, all I'm saying is that I'm not crossing my arms on this one, but I'm not getting involved
either.
The band knows what they're doing.
Kudos to Adam for coming on and getting everyone to shut their yaps for now.
you won't let me down...

i actually disagree in this case. when dag made a thread like this last year (or whenever) he was chastised ridiculously, when in reality he was
perfectly entitled to voice his opinion, in the same way that PIS is entitled to start this thread. i am quite ashamed of the way that most people
dealt with dag's thread, and i'm sure that if you go back and read it you will feel the same. however, the points raised by everyone in
THIS thread have been interesting, and i'm pleased to say that everyone has refrained from turning it into a flaming match. threads such as this
one SHOULD be posted, provided that people don't turn them into a slagging match.
the bottom line is that bands don't (or at least they shouldn't) make music simply for the sake of pleasing their fans, they make music
prominently for their own gratification. of course, bands do rely on the support of the their fans (without a fan base any aspirations of wealth, fame
and general success are bound to be short-lived - that's if those things are what the bands aspires to ) but the fans DO come second, and
no-one should take offence from this. i hope i managed to get my point across.
[edit: i thought adam's post was excellent - both tactful and educational ]

The way I see it (since this is the way I approach music), I play bass because I want to, not because people may be interested in hearing me, if it
isn't their full time job, then I can live with a few dry patches here and there. Just look back to 2000, now THAT was crazy (if you have no
idea what I'm talking about I'm referring to the period when the original band parted ways).
I'm pretty content with the occasional live song appearing on myspace, as that is proof enough that the band is still plugging along.
And I agree with Chris, the responses in Dag's thread were harsh, and frankly the point of forums is discussion, as soon as you start telling
people what they can and can't say, you may as well run for President.

Thanks for the update Adam, it was much appreciated. Infact, I shall refrain from 'dissin ya'll up'. I'm cool with what ever
ya say.
Word on the street is...Westpoint wants to fight The Livid.

I also appologize to those who did not find the preceding joke very funny. I will make a better joke next time.
