Red Baron Posted July 6, 2007 Report Posted July 6, 2007 I checked this out today, and London always gets the good gigs for these types of events.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 6, 2007 Report Posted July 6, 2007 I'll be watching. With my AC cranked up 15 degrees colder than normal, all the lights turned on, and with the washer/dryer/dishwasher running all at once.
Darthtiki Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 I'll be watching. With my AC cranked up 15 degrees colder than normal, all the lights turned on, and with the washer/dryer/dishwasher running all at once. Add grilling meat for 24 hours straight to that list
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 7, 2007 Report 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.
Jer Posted July 7, 2007 Report 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.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Tokyo had some sort of virtual holographic band.. Genki Rockets.. I wanna see that in HD hopefully.
Jer Posted July 7, 2007 Report 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.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 7, 2007 Report 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..
Vanhalen Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report 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.
PLAGIARISM! Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Yikes. I'm going to fuck up some defenseless endangered animal.
The Metal Maniac Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 "say no to nuclear energy" shirts on..wait..what? Nuclear energy is supposedly good.. The energy is good. The toxic by-products that stay deadly for thousands of years are not so great.
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Stick it in an old salt mine. No greenhouse gasses, boyee.
Gary Floyd Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Eh, I'm waiting for Yellow Magic Orchestra in Japan, and watching the Crowded Houses show in Australia.
Jebus Posted July 7, 2007 Report Posted July 7, 2007 Metallica already went on. In fact, the whole London concert has just finished.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 7, 2007 Report 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. I hope the Chillis play a really dope version of Californication and get rid of this climate crisis once and for all.
Vanhalen Posted July 7, 2007 Author Report Posted July 7, 2007 Watch all the concerts here http://entimg.msn.com/i/LiveEarth/landingp...ltplayer/q.html
kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 So did you do your part to save the planet, Vanhalen?
Narcoleptic Jumper Posted July 8, 2007 Report 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.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 Yeah, I'm glad the awareness is spreading. I never even heard of this "global warming" thing until today.
Guest • Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 I thought Live Earth was a metal band that someone here was going to see. I've been out of the loop.
Vanhalen Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 So did you do your part to save the planet, Vanhalen? No, I got drunk and watched Metallica , then went out and saw Die Hard 4
PLAGIARISM! Posted July 8, 2007 Report 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.
Vanhalen Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report 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.
Vanhalen Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Posted July 8, 2007 God bless youtube for getting it up so quick http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cz81d1nEenU&...ted&search=
kkktookmybabyaway Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 "I pray that this event ends global warming the same way Live Aid ended world hunger." OK, now that was funny.
2GOLD Posted July 8, 2007 Report Posted July 8, 2007 Ricky and Chris just mocking the importance of the event and it was hilariously awesome.
