Ok just thinking I should just exit out of XBMC, im an idiot for not thinking of that

Hm, exiting xbmc should indeed do that but in some versions it does not.... There is a loop running auto restarting when it crashes and sometimes the exit flag does not seem to work. Should be easy to fix but I haven't looked into it.

Do you really need to stop xbmc or only access the command line?

To stop there is a stop command not sure but perhaps:
sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live stop

To remove autostart uninstall xbmc-live or remove xbmc from grub command.

To access command line:
CTRL+ALT+F1

or connect over ssh with putty from windows
