V Live .
2001 studio album by Live
V is the sixth studio album by the band Live , released in 2001. It featured the singles "Simple Creed " and "Overcome ", the latter of which received significant exposure following the September 11 attacks .
The collection of songs that became V was never intended to be released as an album. Guitarist Chad Taylor said, "The goal was to prepare songs for the next studio session. MCA got a hold of the material and pushed us to call it an album." The songs were originally going to be released free to fans as a collection called Ecstatic Fanatic . The tracks included two songs featured in films released prior to the release of V , "Forever May Not Be Long Enough ", written for the closing credits of The Mummy Returns , and "Deep Enough", which appears in the opening of The Fast and the Furious because director Rob Cohen was a fan of Live. Taylor would later express dismay at the label's disinterest in promoting those two songs, particularly in light of the box office success of both films.[ 6] V only reached number 22 on the album chart in the US and failed to attain gold status, despite reasonably positive reviews.
