MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 I could have gone to the NJ concert but..I had a hotel booked for the week starting sunday with nowhere to stay near Giants Stadium for tom night and I dont want to be sleeping in my car after sweating to death all day, not to mention the $100 a ticket they want. Im gonna watch some of it on Universal HD tomorrow. 22 straight hours of HD coverage live starting at 4 am. Plus its on XM right now I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jer 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 It's streaming live at www.liveearth.msn.com, which is kind of neat. I'll probably watch the Tokyo one for a few minutes until I fall asleep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Tokyo had some sort of virtual holographic band.. Genki Rockets.. I wanna see that in HD hopefully. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jer 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Yeah, these 25 minute sappy save the world segments between sets are gonna get annoying *really* fast. It's probably too much to hope for that the TV broadcast will have less of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Universal HD is up! YAY its the Genki Rockets up first.I wanna figure out what the hell the talk was about.. and its a Holographic Al Gore talking English to the crowd in Japan about global warming and I swear you could hear a pin drop.. the stage lights/background in Sydney are made of used up tires! Recycling! YAY! The band playing all have "say no to nuclear energy" shirts on..wait..what? Nuclear energy is supposedly good.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 Just been announced that the Wembley show will now be opened by Roger Taylor (Queen), Chad Smith (RHCP), Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) and Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), so I would anticipate a fuck-off massive 4 drumkit version of We Will Rock You.

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2007 You know, the temperature here just dropped by 3 degrees. I can feel the earth cooling. This concert is doing wonders.

Narcoleptic Jumper 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 I'm glad that the awareness is spreading or whatever but these types of events mostly just remind me of that South Park episode with the hippie rock concert where instead of 'spreading the word' or whatever everybody just sits around smoking pot and playing really terrible music. which is basically what this is. ah well.

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 The best bit was when they got Chris Rock, a guy who's career basically hinges on the word 'motherfucker' to introduce a band at 5pm and then had to cut away and apologise after about 20 seconds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vanhalen 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2007 No, the best bit was when they decided to have him in the studio half an hour later where he then talked about his niggers and smoking weed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
