Marky Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 How much pollution will the concert make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCG Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) Hell yeah Metallica will be there too.Not from what I heard. Although they are playing at Wembley the next day. They're not listed on the official website.How much pollution will the concert make!They're using 'low voltage' lighting etc. although even still, it'll probably create a lot pollution I'm not sure what to think about this. I reckon it's more of an ego-trip for some of these people, if anything else... maybe I'm wrong Edited April 13, 2007 by LCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SofaKingWhat Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Live Earth eh? What a load of shit.No doubt it will be packed, sell out gigs with teenagers waving "save the earth" banners.Save it from what? The Sun? Volcanic gases? Animals farting? Imagine all the bullshit propoganda the artists will spill on stage, throwing out facts and figures of how much we are damaging the earth. There will be about as much truth and worthyness in it as Al Gores crappy film had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
