Finally a group that “gets it.”
These boys have a history of declining anything thrown their way except for money and applause.
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.
Whoa!! The earth is stopping on its axis. Hold on!
Funny that they mentioned the energy necessary to put on their shows... Not all the bands are nuts. Someone call Ted Nugent.
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.
Al Bore invented the Internet.
Here’s another person who gets it. Glad to have been a fan for 26 years.

For folks who haven’t heard this monumental band, the Arctic Monkeys, they suck.
I wonder what the carbon offset for getting all the crap for th Antarctica concert is in light of the fact that it’s the middle of the Antarctic winter there
The Who also balked at this media event (and they resented involvement in Michael Moore’s F911).
Thank you!
If I want a well-informed opinion from somebody in a band, I'll ask him what brand guitar strings he prefers.
Arctic Monkeys shiver at Live Earth ‘hypocrisy’
