LIVE 8 -Live Thread

MTV/VH1 | 7-2-05 | my favorite headache

[My Favorite Headache]

Well...we are 37 minutes into the supposed "global concert of a lifetime" and MTV has managed to show 12 minutes of commercials for reality programming,interrupted 3 performances,and have shown a highlights package from the UK with the biggest names of the day already performing.

Yep. MTV has found a way to not show music on a day where music is all around them. So away with the Live 8 thread....

"Poor Elton John, looks like he may have eaten enough for 10 African children today!"

Poor Elton looks like he may have tucked in a few too many TUCKS today...

I'm enjoying it in the UK. BBC1 is useful for something - no adverts. Enjoyed U2 and McCartney, and can't wait for Pink Floyd. What was Bill Gates up to? I was hoping he'd start ranting about Windows G8 in the shops soon.

they just want us to do the heavy lifting,the work-a-day stuff , as long as they get to "do their thing" , did you hear Brad Pitt's drivel,no substance,...I'l try to FReepmail ya later,you'll scratch yer head and chuckle

Above one of the stages is a scrolling marquee. One of the messages reads, "We Don't Want Your Money." At least the first Live Aid solicited donations from willing individuals. This one seeks to rob the taxpayers as a whole! Bob Geldof is quite the thief

If the USA falls for this garbage I'm gonna be pissed!

Gotta love the commercials. Nothing like being constantly reminded about how life is hell for most of the world to make me truly enjoy this Independance Day weekend! Now I think I'll go grill a steak, eat till I pass out and ponder all of the suffering and injustice in the world.

[Pro-Bush]

Audioslave was cool, I am waiting for Pink Floyd!

[rollo tomasi]

Bwahahaha. Wonder if Boy George and George Michael will top it all off?

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

Where's Boy George and George Michael?

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

I just said the EXACT same thing LOL

This is so sad. It's probably time for Elton to break out the Daffy Duck costume instead of this...Time to call a emergency Guild live session into order!

I don't know about you Americans, but for me wathing Tim McGraw and Faith Hill perform live at the Circus Maximus in Rome was awsome. I love Faith's new single.

OK, I know I am pathetic...

Cheers.

[Eurotwit]

Keith Urban and Toby Keith are on in Philly.

I am loving this.

Cheers.

Nothing says 'serious awareness raising charity function' like Anna Nicole Smith braless in a blouse composed of pink sequins.

[Afronaut]

Watching this krap, you can see that downloading is not killing the sales of records, the Music Biz is killing itself.where are the artists?

[Dad yer funny]

now there's a SKEEZER that I could hang with 1 or 2 days[don't tell my wife]

[gopwinsin04]

Faith looks like she is channeling American Idol finalist Bo Bice in Rome!

[rollo tomasi]

Sad news, the line-up did not show a Culture Club or Wham! reunion.

I am bummed out and feel cheated.

If Roger Waters can swallow his pride and join Pink Floyd on stage for a rich dictators awareness concert why can't George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley do it. Ditto for Culture Club.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

and probably one or the other would try a career resurrection ala Vanilla Ice in the late 90's LOL

[gopwinsin04]

Tom Green and Dan Akroyd are up in Toronto and ready to raise some awareness! (whatever that may mean today)

[Dad yer funny]

"hey Snoop , mention Robert Mugabe... c'mon"

[rollo tomasi]

I am with you man, see post #32 of this thread.
