Is it necessary to say that "many critics and fans consider" this to be Live's breakthrough album, especially when we go on to cite as evidence the album's commercial success and the success of its singles? Isn't the commercial success and related exposure of an album something that makes an album a "breakthrough" album, without needing it to be a subjective decision? Quantitatively it's clear that this was the band's breakthrough album.

i don't think there is any sort of quantitative definition of a breakthrough album -- it's a subjective judgment of when a band has become successful enough to have broken through to the mainstream. --dan 21:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where did the title come from?[edit]

Does anyone know where the title for the Album came from?

I ask because in the native cultures of northwest (as in coastal British Columbia) "throwing copper" was an ultimate insult or challenge in a potlatch."Coppers" were ornately designed shields and symbols of wealth and power. If a chief would "throw his copper" at the feet of another, it would be a challenge. I haven't heard of any other origin of "throwing copper."

Throwing Copper Title Explanation[edit]

The band were having trouble naming the record. They HAD to name it on the day they did, or else it wouldn't have come out when it was supposed to. There was a sports goods store next door to where they were, so Ed and Patrick bought some BB Guns. They were firing them in the back, then came back inside. When asked where they'd been they threw up their arms in a psuedo gangster style and declared "we was throwin' copper". Then Chad Gracey said that should be the name of the record.

They explained all this themselves in their MTV Live Past, Present & Future video. - Lovemonk. 17:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lift Me Up/Hold Me Up[edit]

Is there anyone who knows which it is? I have listened to the song a few times and he clearly says, "Hold me up in the palm of your hand." Any idea as to whether the fact this song is in the movie is notable and maybe incliude references to Kevin Smith's ten+ year quest to get the rights to this song?

Master Rights[edit]

I heard there was a dispute regarding who owns the rights to the original masters of these songs, Live or Radioactive. Does anyone have any information about this? CoW mAnX (talk) 23:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snowtown murders[edit]

This album was played during various murders committed by John Justin Buntin et el (http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/sa/SASC/2003/251.html). Perhaps this constitutes as random trivia?

Song title[edit]

Can anyone explain to me why on "All Over You" the word 'over' is capitalized? Why is not "All over You"? 'Over' is a tricky word sometimes regarding song title capitalization.2601:2C2:300:1AC0:693F:2382:A34B:808F (talk) 01:39, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, all title on the album have all words capitalized. A lot of artists de this because it looks better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.60.61.37 (talk) 12:03, 5 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
