YMMV / Live

• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Their song "Pain Lies on the Riverside" from their debut Mental Jewelry became a big hit in Brazil back in 1992 after being included in a domestic ad for cigarettes. Keep in mind this was two years before their mainstream breakthrough with their sophomore release Throwing Copper - meanwhile in the US, some rock radio stations only added the song to regular rotation a few years later, since Throwing Copper proved popular but the followup was still three years away.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: Many of their fans felt like this after the release of V, which saw Live moving away from the hard rock sound they were known for. While the reformation of the band - with Chris Shinn as their new lead singer - has been mostly positively received, there is also a vocal minority which feels they shouldn't call themselves "Live" anymore, as they feel it's not the same band without Ed Kowalczyk's input.
