i love how, no matter if it's with the sneaker pimps or as iamx, chris corner is one of the most amazing performers around. such intensity and always full commitment to performing live.
WHY wasn't this a hit in the US? It sounds like it would now be a classic, well known song from the late 90's that would be played on alternative radio all the time. If it had been promoted right or attached to some dark movie it would have been huge.
when he first hits that chorus you can tell he is literally moved by what he does, it's nice to see an Artist that loves what he does and FEELS his music rather than a Rockstar that just gets his kicks from being an idol
The female singer, was Kelli her name?, couldn't sing live... I saw a video of 6 underground live and she couldn't barely breathe. This guy's a bit better.
Chris' voice is so heartfelt and beautiful it puts Kelli to shame. Up until fairly recently, I hadn't heard Sneaker Pimps with Chris's vocals. But, after hearing Low Five for the first time a few weeks ago and recently buying the Splinter album, I prefer Chris (and it doesn't hurt that he's completely adorable).
IAMX is just an act, and I think it's just fine, especially considering how the Pimps are still together. The unreleased demos for albums 4 and 5 are pretty good, but the first two IAMX albums are quite a bit better.
i like the songs with Kelli in them, but i think the continuation of Chris as the singer was a good move, i know some people prefer Kelli's sound but personally i prefer Chris's, plus he can actually sing live. I mean, Six Underground and Spin Spin Sugar sound great with Kelli's voice , but I love SP with Chris, and I don't think she could of sung the songs he sung better than him, because their sound adopted his voice, persona and feel.
@milkboxer its an argument that has been going on for years mate, but the fact is chris corner is a great singer. live and in the studio. i loved their first album with kelli singing as well, but it moved on that way so people need to let it go! haha!!
This song has climax! ... u can get stoned, drunk or just make love to your girl with it.....amazing! the song The Cure, The Cult , Coldplay or the Mission would`ve liked to write ...
I fell in love with this song when I heard it for the first time at a pretty dark place in New York. Not musically dark, real life dark, real life trip-hop. The song hit me deeply, stopped me, and I had to find out who the authors were. I love the CD splinter. I like Chris much better than Kelli. What's going on these days with such a talented band?
Chris (the singer/musician) has gone on to a solo project, look up iamx and you'll find it. His work is good, but imo not as good as splinter and bloodsport, the sneaker pimps albums with him as the frontman. Last I heard the sneaker pimps plan on putting another album together with another (new) female singer. Bad idea imo, because chris is an amazing vocalist. But we'll see. So thats what going on with them.
I don't see IAMX as better or worse than the Pimps, its just a lot different. More of a straightforward electronic feel to it. I like it a lot. My question is, with SP getting a new female vocalist and all, is Chris still in the band?
Iheard this in2001 onthe Jays constantly and Thought he wz singing lovevibe...Low five of course...only song I know of theirs and it has taken a while to find this (I play my radio/cassette version).Dont know if I'm psychic or a testament to the greatnessof their music but He looks the way I pictured him!!! No shit.(Never seen having seen them)I'm straight but I think I'm in love.ouch!
Could anyone else pick up the "irritated" vibe at the beggining when asked about the new sound of the Sneaker Pimps? What a great response ;p Kelli was great..WAS A new sound for a new century. The 90's will walways be right where they were :) You rule Chris!!
there's another version of this song. I've seen it as "Low Five for Lovers Mix"
It's like it disappeared from existence or something. I can't find it ANYWHERE! If somebody has it, put it up on here! Swell

They were supporting Placebo. We hung out after the gig in a bar. Yes, we spoke and they are such lovely lads, so down to earth. :)

Well Chris, it was worth it.
If you only knew how good that album was, you'd never run off and create the person you are today.
Sometimes, it takes an effort to create something precious... not just raw emotions.
