Live Earth

[samantha1303]

Did you catch Metallica at Live Earth on tv Big C?

[scoobydoo]

I saw them Sam....why did they cut them off early though?! :ermmm

[samantha1303]

The whole thing was bad.
I am so glad I didn't go there was just no atmosphere, I think people were there just to say they were there rather than being music fans.
There were plenty singing along to Metallica though.

[scoobydoo]

Should have watched it on the MSN site...the US one is on there now live.
Theyll get more singing tomorrow night wont they...Id love to go to that....be superb atmosphere I bet.
Thought Foo Fighters were good as well.

[samantha1303]

The foo fighters were good too, and of course Razorlight :hearty

[samantha1303]

You beat me to it. :laugh

[scoobydoo]

[samantha1303]

I'm waiting to catch Bon Jovi in America on the red button thingy

[andyp]

Anybody watch this concert? Actually thought Madonna did really well, was a great live act and got the crowd bouncin'!

Also, is there any truth in the rumour that one (or more?) of the pussycat dolls is a man???

[samantha1303]

Hi Andy
we have been talking about it in the Deep Purple thread.

Not sure about the pussycat dolls rumour.

I thought it was very poor crowd wise, they didn't have a clue.
I missed out on the ballot, but then got the chance to go and I'm glad I didn't there's no point in bouncing up and down by yourself.

If it helps people do something as simple as recycling though it was all worth it.
The only reason for not recycling is because people can not be bothered, it's not difficult.

[andyp]

Oops, i will hop over to the deep purple thread :D

I thought the crowd was quite poor to be honest, didnt seem much of an atmosphere?!

[andyp]

Apparently the Rio de janeiro gig, was the only free one and it is estimated up to 1 million people will attend...surely that must be a good atmosphere?!

[andyp]

Also, does anyone know f there is any truth in the rumour that the arctic monkeys were asked to perform today, but declined sayin that all the use of the equipment at todays events would use up excessive energy?

Hey Andy... I thought the girl with bergundy hair looked suspicious....the word 'drag' came to mind! :D

[samantha1303]

I'm watching UB40 in Johannesburg at the mo, they're cracking.

[samantha1303]

Not sure about that Andy, but does that mean the Arctics will not tour anymore , cos the energy they use is massive?
They have tried to be carbon neutral at live earth as much as they can be.
I will get the two threads merged.

i noticed she/he was wearing hotpants, but had a net/lace garment hanging from the back... i immediately thought that must be to hide the evidence!!!!

[bigcumba]

That should hopefully be the threads merged

Nah I agree...disappointing. Especially with classics :rolleyes: like "Dont you wish your girlfirend was hot like me"....would expect much better!! :laugh

[samantha1303]

They're fit thats for sure, and all look to be about 6 feet tall.

Managed to catch bon jovi, so I'm a happy bunny - will try to watch them again tomo if they are on anywhere.
My alarm is going off in 2 hours :yikes:

[peza2605]

were the beastie boys on? if they were in it of course.

[jonahjones]

They were Pez. I only switched on three-quarters of the way through Sabotage which was their last song and so couldn't really comment on their performance.

I caught The Foo Fighters who I thought were great, The Pussycat Dolls (who nearly turned Graham Norton!:)) and Madonna who I thought performed really well.

Can't really comment on the atmosphere either as the last festival I went to was V97 and I have forgotten what you are supposed to do! :)
