Rest easy, Earth Mother. Linkin Park has a climate change charity.

Finally a group that “gets it.”

Its a bit patronising for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world, said Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, explaining why the group is not on the bill at any of Al Gores charity concerts. Especially when were using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. Itd be a bit hypocritical, he told AFP in an interview before a concert in Paris.Wise beyond his years, especially compared to so much of rock royalty.

I’m still trying to figure out why Al chose the second anniversary of the tube bombings to have his concert. It’s kind of the equivalent of having an anti-war rally on 9/11/03.

The Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant, attacked the arrogance of pop stars who put themselves forward as role-models. "I've always been against the idea of rock stars lecturing people as if they know something the rest of us don't."Whoa!! The earth is stopping on its axis. Hold on!

If you ever reach the point you can understand why Al Gore does anything be very afraid. It means your mind has gone....

Funny that they mentioned the energy necessary to put on their shows... Not all the bands are nuts. Someone call Ted Nugent.

They make good music as well. You have to love a band who doesn't want to voice their opinion about anything. I can't wait to see them in September.
Performing.

Alive and well in Sheffield England though. Does that still count? :)

It is funny finally getting called on the private jets, gas-guzzling tour buses, and limos that the “caring” celebrities tool around in.

This stupid concert is so over the top it`s going to have the opposite effect and turn people off. It`s the Paris Hilton of these “live aid” type concerts, just absolutely no point for all the attention. Freakin` Islamic psychopaths trying to blow up car bombs and airports in England, Scotland and just about every other place in the world, and these libs are concerned about the temperature? Say what? Why don`t they have a concert that may actually do something, like a concert to get Al Gores son off drugs before he kills someone?

Actually, this may not be thought out on their part. Moral imperative aside, these gigs are ‘we’ve made it to the big time’ parties for new bands and a great venue for acts to network with one another, not to mention keep each other in line ideologically. Folks like Bono and his record label might remember you fondly and help you along if you help out their cause, or not so fondly and bury you if you don’t. I am always pleased to see common sense in such a nuthouse setting, but there is a deadly serious side to these things when it comes to the industry.
