Some real time reactions perhaps, or is ILx in spending the afternoon in it's bedroom "thinking"?

― elwisty (elwisty), Saturday, 2 July 2005 11:16 (nineteen years ago)

*that "to" should be "too" shouldn't it...

― elwisty (elwisty), Saturday, 2 July 2005 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

No that "to" is ok.

― dmun drive-in (dmun), Saturday, 2 July 2005 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

unless its followed by a fullstop and "Make Sardonic Comments..." is a new sentence.

― dmun drive-in (dmun), Saturday, 2 July 2005 11:31 (nineteen years ago)

well bono just namechecked all the countries in the world, i wish he wasnt wearing his glasses today.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:10 (nineteen years ago)

I thought U2 were only meant to be doing one song?

It's going to overrun by about five hours, isn't it?

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

everyones very smug i see, from the crowd to the artists. bono slipped in a bit of the beatles' blackbird aka 'africans, i am here to save you!'

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:16 (nineteen years ago)

please tell me he actually said that

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:18 (nineteen years ago)

I'm no fan, but I'd love it if Bono decides to play for about five hours before letting anyone else on the stage.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:18 (nineteen years ago)

Bono "9 thousand people die every day in Africa . . . . and I earn 9 GRAND a day . . . . ain't it cute? BUY I-POD"

― On one hand I've got myself to blame (Lynskey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

He actually did.

Now playing: One. Nice version.

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:19 (nineteen years ago)

he didnt, but he might as well have, he looked so pleased with himself. he just said a speech about africans dying from curable diseases and symptoms and that 'we can (or maybe it was we are going to) change that today'. i havent been paying attention to live 8 before today, but does anyone know what the ticket prices people paid for this event go towards?

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:20 (nineteen years ago)

The Princes Trust (for replacing Party In The Park), and operating costs...it's not a fundraiser although everybody seems confused…

― carson dial (carson dial), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:21 (nineteen years ago)

Oh dear God. Bono singing Unchained Melody. That really is too much. Anyone for tennis?

I just started a long boring day of work. I believe I'll watch some of these videostreams on AOL.

I feel like Big Brother!

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:28 (nineteen years ago)

fuck, I can't get it to work! I want to help! I can't help if I can't watch!

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:29 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha WTF DIE TOTEN HOSEN!!!

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:30 (nineteen years ago)

if this creates awareness of the problems in africa thats great, but not all of africa is full of starving, shrivelled bodies of people who live in mudhuts you know (not that theres anything wrong with mudhuts of course), this whole thing smacks of a bunch of condescending westerners wanting to save 'the poor coloureds'. which actually, isnt that bad, if it pumps some money where its needed, but half of these artists dont seem to really care or know anything about the issues at hand. perhaps they dont need to know - theyre just here to 'convert' other people and make them aware, but its all just bollocks isnt it? when the gig is over, what is the point of all that awareness going to be? if people could donate some money somewhere, surely that would have been more useful, if only on a small level (or even if people had to pay for a ticket that went to charity etc). i mean, the leaders at the g8 summit, theyre hardly likely to watch this and change their minds, are they? surely they know people arent assembled at this event to relieve world debt but just to see these bands for free.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

what time is it in England? I didn't expect to deal with Coldplay so early.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:36 (nineteen years ago)

I really admire Chris Martin because he clearly doesn't care about how much of a tit he makes himself look.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:36 (nineteen years ago)

they keep cutting to Gwenyth (and Apple!)

oh and now Richard Ashcroft is joining them for Bittersweet Symphony

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

haha 'that's life - you're a slave to money then you die'

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

ashcroft sounds like hes going to burst out laughing any moment. i liked martin's intro for ashcroft and what appeared to be a complete lack of knowledge about the G8 summit.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

i dunno if they just showed ashcrofts wife but some woman in the audience looked like a hot french woman.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:39 (nineteen years ago)

Coldplay's pathetic attempt at "Rocking all over the world" has just made U2's "Unchained Melody" look brilliant. And I never thought Status Quo would seem so peerless.

― Guy Beckett (guy), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:40 (nineteen years ago)

meanwhile in Berlin they're watching Coldplay on the tube! Boo, I was excited to see what followed Die Toten Hosen.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

Can we bet on what time it's going to start raining? I pick 4:30PM.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:42 (nineteen years ago)

it would be good if coldplay did a proper status quo cover with members of ver quo!

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

I saw one Toten Hosen song on Dutch television! Best so far.

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

haha 'that's life - you're a slave to money then you die'

Would "Lucky Man" or, ahem, "The Drugs Don't Work" be more appropriate?

― On one hand I've got myself to blame (Lynskey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:43 (nineteen years ago)

I'd rather see quo do a coldplay cover.

― Guy Beckett (guy), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:44 (nineteen years ago)

Do Coldplay always drag the tempo down? It's the first time I have seen them 'live'... It's hard to see how something so dreary could be popular. A mass taste for glum..

― Guy Beckett (guy), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:46 (nineteen years ago)

yeah when I hear their stuff on the radio I'm like "yeah I can see them doing OK" but live I just can't believe this bowl of porridge has sat atop our charts for three weeks.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

Oh they're speeding up now.. it's that slow ballad into fast(ish) rocker thing.

― Guy Beckett (guy), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

Radio Activity shirt on the drummer!

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:49 (nineteen years ago)

Odd that Franz Ferdinand are being used to plug all the gaps.. They're not playing are they?

― Guy Beckett (guy), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

nope, but they should be. at least they have a bit of energy

i would have liked to have seen jamelia at this thing, instead of the horrendous joss stone

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

Mr. Coldplay Drummer wore a Kraftwerk shirt. So, points for that.

Xpost!

― Kent Burt (lingereffect), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

Best bits so far:
1. Bono: "We are not looking for charity, we are looking for justice"
2. The official tagline - "this is your chance to make history by making poverty history"
3. Bono: "This is a rock n roll show"
4. Chris Martin: "this is the greatest thing that's ever been organized in the history of the world"
5. the funny status quo-bit

― Essdot, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:51 (nineteen years ago)

Does Germany have its own Dylan?

"theres a lot of very old bands here" - truest thing someone has said on this prog so far

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:53 (nineteen years ago)

The gaps between acts are huge. You'd think it would be slicker for such a huge event - revolving stage or something...

― Guy Beckett (guy), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

That woman who is looking forward to Annie Lennox should be fucking shot.

I can't believe these people. Is it that I'm incredibly out of touch, or are the general public really stupid?

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:54 (nineteen years ago)

I have to admit Coldplay is better than German reggae.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:55 (nineteen years ago)

the crowd seem to be the thickest bunch ever, second only to the artists for sheer smugness - one guy said 'its about making poverty history, not the music'. of course it is, mate. theyre as full of themselves as martin, ashcroft and all the rest.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

will you people explain to me whose comedic stylings I'm enduring right now?

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:58 (nineteen years ago)

theyre from the bbc2 comedy show little britain.

why does every artist that comes on stage have to hold their arms outstretched, martyr style?

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

ppp they are thick, but they have the vote, and money. Surely it's better if the masses of Britain actually give a shit about poverty? Should westerners just shut up and do nothing in case they come off as condescending?

― Bodum, Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:00 (nineteen years ago)

no, i said that it was definitely worthwhile if something good came out of it... its just a shame they have to be condescending about it.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

Goddamn, Elton has one ugly-assed band.

― Kent Burt (lingereffect), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

Where is this proof that the audience cares about world hunger? It's not like people need a reason to watch Elton John do "The Bitch Is Back." A lot of people pay large amounts of money to do that and this is FREE!

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:03 (nineteen years ago)

theyll go home at the end of the night patting themselves on the back while theyre totally off their fucking faces telling everyone how they did their bit for raising awareness. like fuck you did, you just turned up to see your fave capital radio/radio one rock faves turn up and do their hits, paid a bit of lip service, then went on with your life.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:05 (nineteen years ago)

that's all their supposed to do though. They've repeatedly been told Live8 does NOT want your money. Keep your money! Whatever you do, do NOT give it to us. Just your name! your face! Sit and watch rock bands and you are good!

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:06 (nineteen years ago)

what, specifically, is condescending about it? Showing "starving, shrivelled bodies"? There are lots of starving people in Africa, that's the whole point. If they didn't appeal to pity, nobody would care, though it might be less harmful to the dignity of Africa if they downplayed its problems.

― Bodum, Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:07 (nineteen years ago)

haha yeah you really have to appeal to pity to get people to watch Coldplay and Elton John for free

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:08 (nineteen years ago)

man Elton John's set kicks ass!!!

PETE DOHERTY FOR A T REX COVER! Wooo!!!

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:09 (nineteen years ago)

holy shit this guy is fucked up! the press doesn't lie.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

HAHAHA@pete from the libertines! i like babyshambles and he looks very cool and strung out and nicely made-up, but his voice is utterly shit. oh dear.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:10 (nineteen years ago)

The concert draws attention to appeals for pity, the result is that the electorate is more supportive of efforts to increase aid, make the world trade system fairer etc.

― Bodum, Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

right

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:11 (nineteen years ago)

agreed Pete Doherty is looking lovely but sounding about as flaky as Bolan would have probably been had he been here for this kind of gig.

― Guy Beckett (guy), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

What I liked was Jonathan Ross talking about the text petition that 300,000 people have signed up to, and Ross was like "And I'm sure that number will go up throughout the day". But when you consider five million people sent in texts for the concert tickets, it's rather low.

If fact, if you factor in those figures, out of all the people at the concert today, only about 750 would give more of a shit about "Make Poverty History" over seeing Coldplay and Pink Floyd.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:12 (nineteen years ago)

i think elton fancies pete. there is no other explanation. he looks better than everyone else whos performed today though. he looks like a star, unlike these other dullard plebs.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 13:13 (nineteen years ago)

oddly enough I found this on AOL's site

Wired News reports that celebrities are supposed to receive $17,000 swag bags full of designer jeans, jewelry and other assorted luxury items.

Question number 1: did Tina Arena tell "Mr Craig David" to "cum all over me" ?
Question numer 2: does Tina Arena remember Tina Arena?

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

not sure about this 3-second clicking thing. the way everyone in the crowd is doing it almost celebratory rather tham uncomforting.

keane were really affecting i found.

he does. all the bands do. they dress like old men as well. funny that, all these dreary new bands' members look like 50 year olds.

Dutch tv now showing Black Eyed Peas, better than I expected. Nice to see a sunny Philadelphia.

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

It's why all these indie-type blokes wear school boy blazers - it'll hide the paunch.

The 'Staying Alive' bit that Travis did was excellent.

It's actually pretty quiet outside in the real world, you know. At least it is around here.

Who is broadcasting this in the USA? Doesn't look like it's on any of the major networks...

i have a feeling the american live 8 will be more fun to watch.

― carson dial (carson dial), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:32 (nineteen years ago)

I think I'm going to give in and take a walk over to the Parkway. It seems almost perverse to just ignore it completely, though I do have a lot that needs to get done (and I'm going to be there with a couple hundred--no, more than that I hope--people, tomorrow, watching Orquesta del Barrio and Frankie Negron).

haha i spoke to my canadian friend in toronto last night and first she wz all "oh live8 i am so bored w.it geldof is old and it is all a sham and a spectacle and who cares" and then she wz suddenly "... and all the bands representing canada are so LAME AND EMBARRASSING!! it is PUB ROCK BONANZA!!"

Simple Plan next!

p.s. Jon Bon Jovi is a cancer.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Jon Bon Jovi is sounding so femme. I was in the other room and I thought it was Joss Stone or somebody doing a cover of "Living on a Prayer". I like it.

― Puddin' (Arthur), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

Do Simple Plan even have three songs that aren't about how miserable their lives are?

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

wtf there's an ipod ad on the live stream. this is new.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

i was hoping bEP would do dont phunk with my heart, just cos that is the best hip hop song ever in the history of the world. but they did where is the love instead.

the racial mix of people in the US' Live 8 is much more diverse than in the Uk, where its 99% white.

― blahbariantheoriginal, Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

Glad I missed out on Bon Jovi...

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

fergie from BEP is so funny, trying to do hardcore hip hop expressions and facial expressions while performing.

― blahbariantheoriginal, Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

the green day performance looks as though it would be pretty exciting to watch.

― blahbariantheoriginal, Saturday, 2 July 2005 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I'm hoping they'll broadcast it later over here in the Netherlands...

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

I saw the Green Day set, it was ok at first but the Queen cover was a chore. Billie made everybody got "heeeeeyyyyyy-o" a lot.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

There's some quality swearing From Billie-Jo that the BBC really don't seem to mind broadcasting, too.

― Huey (Huey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

so, someone explain this to me...this concert is just about signing a petition all over the world for the G8 leaders to use as toilet paper on some golf course in scotland?

i woke up to the black eyed peas and the marleys singing some bob song. horrid.

― JD from CDepot, Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

BBC now showing UB40. Help!

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

UB40 are not that bad. their early material was pretty great, actually. people just forget that cos of dross like red red wine. theyre the second non-rock act of the day, which is quite nice at least.

― blahbariantheoriginal, Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

the amount of non-white people on stage right now is staggering. geldof must be worried they might scare off viewers.

― blahbariantheoriginal, Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

ok, that last song sounded like a karoake reggae backing track. other than that though, ub40 were good.

― blahbariantheoriginal, Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

so Stereophonics, Keane and UB40 are the ILx highlights?! What is happening? This is truly a historic day!

― elwisty (elwisty), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

The Annie Lennox interview is really funnily overshadowed by a roaring crowd yelling Living On A Prayer(!).

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

Shakira's butt is the highlight so far imo

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

robbie williams shamelessly chatting up the BBC presenter fern, which she will doubtlessly take him up on. he is obviously there for a noble cause. its good he didnt let his guard slip and make it seem like he was there for anything but making poverty history. are any of these rich overpaid cunts donating any of their own money to make poverty history?

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:27 (nineteen years ago)

Snoop!

― elwisty (elwisty), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

snoop is still swearing! live on bbc 1!

he said motherfucking noise again
so great

Macca nodding away to 'Drop It Like It's Hot' classic.

He just won't quit with the Tourette shit!

Whats with that tucked in at the front t-shirt look?

― Guy Beckett (guy), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

There was a lovely shot of Gervais looking awkward slightly nodding (probably thinking about how fucking stupid he came off) to snoop

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

It's a full on bloc(k) party. I thought Bob said black people would make people turn over? Ironically, I turned over at least 4 times during "I Don't Like Mondays", so there.

― Huey (Huey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

They're going to have to pull this song, surely.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

Is no-one at the BBC watching this? I've got this mental image of a lone BBC live editor with his feet up in the control room snoozin' after a 15" pizza. Boy is he in trouble!

― Huey (Huey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

Mum's reaction to me rushing in to say Snoop Dogg's saved Live8: "Oh, is he swearing? I hadn't noticed!"

― astropatty (adr), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

bob must be crying. snoop has made this worth watching, finally!

― blahbariantheoriginal, Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

We're not getting the London feed right now! We have to watch Canadian Legend Bruce Cockburn instead! (although he is quite good)

Hopefully they'll replay Snoop later.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

hahaha peace signs! what are they saying after 'hey hey hey'?

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

"Some motherlovin' good time there from the Snoop"! Not even the requisite apology! Surely the start of a new era in swear-friendly TV?

― Huey (Huey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

Has anyone ever said motherfucker so many times live on the BBC before tea-time?

― Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:45 (nineteen years ago)

A guaranteed shoe-in for many students' Moment Of The Year polls already, surely.

― Huey (Huey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

its just been proven just how out of touch bob geldof really is with modern pop music.

woss didnt even apologise to viewers for the bad language. i am guessing this is because neither he or anyone else at the BBC could actually understand any of those torrid 'rap lyrics' and are thinking no one else could either.

just saw a clip of bon jovi - he sounded like an old hag!

― blahbariantheoriginal, Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

Real question - could this happen in the USA?

― Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Saturday, 2 July 2005 16:47 (nineteen years ago)

Snoop Dogg and Johnny Borrell, the Derek and Clive of televised charity concerts.

― Huey (Huey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

it didnt last long, but it was interesting for the short time it went on. he should have sworn a lot more. if every artist who came on now, tried to swear more than snoop, the rest of this show would be so much better.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

Geldof's showing Rome a film of starving people to the tune of "Drive" by the Cars to remind them why they watched Tim McGraw.

― Huey (Huey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

London too. Is this really necessary? If the goal is to make people watch the show, why further push it on people who ARE watching it?

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

What next? I envisage Robbie Williams will now come on and indicate he would like to 'beat tha pussy up' whilst pointing in Fern Cotton's direction.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:07 (nineteen years ago)

As well as swearing, all acts should follow Robbie Williams's lead and make lewd remarks about Fearne Cotton.

I agree with mr Miccio on this one. It's poverty pornograhpy.

even though everyone has seen the footage dozens of times since 85, its still quite terrible to see. putting it against the song is pretty fucked up and manipulative, but thats the whole point.

i feel sorry for this girl having to come on, but you guys are just being heartless. its tasteless for no reason other than the fact that whats being filmed is.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

Or at least piss off some Catholics.

― Huey (Huey), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

why is madonna hugging this girl? she probably has no idea who she is. oh shit, madonna just asked if were ready to start a revolution.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

so why is there a sign reading JUSTICE NOT CHARITY over the stage in Berlin when Geldof's going on about how successful Live Aid was?

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:12 (nineteen years ago)

Madonna's going to do something incredibly idiotic, I'm sure.

Apart from the girl hugging, that is.

Sir Bob actually guested and made a big point about 'poverty pornography' on a show aired on MTV earlier in which Trevor Nelson anchored a young audience putting questions to Tony Blair live in the studio.

Man! I changed history and started a revolution by watching celebrities perform! Why didn't we do this YEARS ago?

FOR FUCKS SAKE, TAKE THIS POOR PAWN OF A GIRL OFF THE STAGE.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

the footage is ghastly but it is powerful to bring that woman out. I don't quite understand how, if she only had 20 minutes to live when that filmed, she survived because of Live Aid.

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

but yes I get the feeling she shouldh ave left the stage.....it's like when people get stuck on the Academy Awards stage. have a spokesmodel show her off!

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

please, there's no reason to think and question. It doesn't help the revolution.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:17 (nineteen years ago)

"Is this really necessary? If the goal is to make people watch the show, why further push it on people who ARE watching it?"

yes it bloody well is - it reminds people that there is an actual reason for this event, no matter how preposterous the actual event might seem to be.

god madonna is a terrible spokesperson for any cause.

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:18 (nineteen years ago)

i dont like this version of like a prayer, it sounds like mirwais had a hand in it. its like weird clinical dance-rock. i see madonna has found her american accent again. she just said 'fucking'. she has a long way to go before beating the d-oh-double-geee though. i want to see her talk about beating the foreskin up.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

that certainly was the most outspoken fuck of the festival so far...

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

ppp if they showed the footage in the middle of an episode of desperate housewives would it mean the show was ABOUT it and that by watching it you were part of the movement to fight it? the only connection this show has to fighting poverty is that geldof says it does.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

I swear I'd completely forgotten than "Ray Of Light" existed for about 3 years before Madonna started playing it just now.

― Al (sitcom), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

remember they are asking for NOTHING more than for you to acknowledge them.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

Just before Madonna said 'fuck' I was writing about the potential ironing of her probably being the only performer to NOT swear at this rate (Paul McCartney stubbed his toe backstage you see...)

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:20 (nineteen years ago)

the film of starving people was not tasteless, the cars wailing about taking some chick home when watching children with flies in their mouths dying on screen was tasteless.

live 8 is now officially the swearfest of the year.

The swearing makes this even more absurd. By watching celebrities CURSE we will inspire the G8 to erase world debt.

― miccio (miccio), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

Is gary lineker playing drums for madge?

No, it's the dad from Hollyoaks.

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:23 (nineteen years ago)

What are all these Eminen types doing on stage with Madge?

― Marty Innerlogic (marty innerlogic), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

no, lots of other performers have mentioned it as well. hes not the only one. its a hard balance to strike - a solemn subtext with the aim of having people enjoy themselves and get drunk and party about it in the name of awareness. these people are braindead, then he comes on and reminds them of something serious and the reason theyre supposed to be there! he cant ram it down their throats every five minutes can he....

if the performers were swearing AT the G8, at tony blair, at the govt, at the UN, it would be a lot better. as it stands, theyre just swearing for the hell of it.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:24 (nineteen years ago)

DEFINITE JACQUES LU CONT SIGHTING

― James Mitchell (James Mitchell), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

look, if they had some sort of donation fund, that proved people were putting their money were their mouth is, rather than just sending their name to a website, or turning up to a glorified allstar gig, that would be better, and actually sound for something, this however im not sure about. its not like you can even say that this is strength in numbers cos theyre not even demonstrating or protesting, theyre just here to hear some music, but maybe some idiot at the G8 will think it means something.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:28 (nineteen years ago)

i meant 'actually count for something'

oh yay they're rerunning some of the Snoop set on the US broadcast now.

― Al (sitcom), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

its a good performance, but it would have been better if she did some old songs. music was never a great song.

― ppp, Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

Considering the immense back catalogue she has to choose from, these aren't the songs I'd have wanted to hear. I guess the "music makes the people come together" message wins over the materialistic yet better stuff.

(xpost)

― ailsa (ailsa), Saturday, 2 July 2005 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

Velvet Revolver are being confused by Fearne's BBC children's TV style questions ("isn't this brilliant and amazing?"). Weiland is still a cockfarmer.

For someone who's place in the history of popular music is unarguably foremost, Macca genuinely has nothing to say. Are Linda's pies mucking with his head? Oh God here comes Lenny Henry.
