"Yes, we've got really crap busses."---Gavin
"We find the word 'dick' to be most effective!"---Nigel
"Custom built turds on wheels."---Robin
"Sometimes we walk on backwards, you know."---Dave
"What crap do I speak?" ---Gavin
"Being in a sucessful
band is like being a kid in the biggest toy shop. I can try
anything my heart desires, and people are always trying to give me stuff"---Nigel
"We eat the heads off of chickens before we come on stage." ---Gavin
"240 shows doing the
same arrangements would be a nightmare. It would be a
Michael Jackson tour." ---Robin
"Between the four of
us, there's too muchpiss-taking going on for it to ever become
Spinal Tap. People would have the piss ripped out of them in a second!

"Testosterone is about
a distant Czechloslovakian poet that was getting into trouble
with girls, and we figured that this was a bad thing and so we'd write
about it." ---Nigel
"Never trust a hippie!" ---Gavin

"The problem in America
is, the 'alternative' scene isn't alternative anymore. It's just all these
metal
bands who cut
off their fucking hair. I mean, Live is a really stodgy old rock group.
We don't feel
comfortable being lumped in with a scene like that."---Nigel
"All the bands we've
been compared to who have broken big in America - like The Cranberries
and
Radiohead - have had records out over here first. We never did." ---Dave
"On tour, you find out
whether you're really a team or just four individuals pursuing their own
ends.
There are bands
in America that've had fuckin' massive hits, then they get halfway around
the country and split up because they hate the fuck out of each other!"---Robin
"You do get 'road fit'
and 'gig fit' when you're away so much. You get dark days when you're 5,000
miles away from home and 5,000 miles away from the person sitting next
to you."---Gavin
"You start rattling around
your four walls. You get on the phone a lot. It's going from one extreme
from the other.
You're in the middle of this circus, and then all of a sudden you're plonked
back in
your own front
room in front of your TV, and come eight o'clock, the old adrenalin glands
are going
and you're thinking, where's the gig?" ---Robin
