Zint Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 It starts in a matter of hours.I just read through the complete line up...underwhelming for the most part.Oh well...it's for a good cause,that's the main thing.I guess I'll tape it and fast forward through it later.Apparantly Al Gore is making an announcement today about a secret surprise show that hasn't been announced yet.Maybe he's been holding out some good bands for this one. guess we'll seeAnybody going to any of the shows??...or...plan on watching this?Do you think you'll be swayed or inspired to "go green"?

JONEZY Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'd like to see The Police, Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins. I'll check it out, I assume its gonna be on MTV or VH1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swlabr Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I don't think these things really inspire people to "go green." something drastic has to occur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SofaKingWhat Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 It's not even for a good cause. We do not and a cannot control climate change.It's just another excuse for a bunch of bands to suck each others dicks and be a part of history. Most of the bands playing will never be remembered in years to come for their music unless Kerrang and MTV have some "crap bands we used to love" hour.Ironically, by not watching it I will be doing what the event is supposed to get people to do.

Ctrly Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 What is the line-up for the D.C. concert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeshi Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The Live Earth concerts have been accused of being hypocritical, with several bands boycotting the event.The Artic Monkeys are the latest band to question the morals of the event, saying the stage lights alone would use enough electricity to power ten houses.Sir Bob Geldof, who has been responsible for staging events such as live 8 and Live Aid, says the last thing climate change needs is a rock concert.He says a commitment from politicians is needed to make a real change.Link.

Binge_And_Slash Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 And if the Artic Monkey's stopped playing they'd save over 50,000 ears from bleeding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justagroupie Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 And if the Artic Monkey's stopped playing they'd save over 50,000 ears from bleeding. I find that a tad bit senseless of them to say though- if the concert is going to be on anyway, why not be a part of it and showcase their care for the cause. If it's not them performing, it'll be another band- and the same amount of stage-light would be used.But I do respect them for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The animal is already slaughtered?Touche.In that respect, I understand your point.I'm speaking technically though, if it really personally bothers them- then I rest my case, but I'm just stating the fact that it could be a win-win situation for them.

But you have to admit, it is a bit funny in an ironic way considering what the concert is being held for.I know that's what you were saying. Sorry, I wasn't too clear was I? What I meant was, every tour a band does is going to burn energy. And it could be argued it's all a waste because music isn't essential to living (not that I believe that myself). So, for the Arctic Monkeys to get all moral about the event is pretty hypocritical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
