thing is though... surely televising the event in the first place is a bit hypocritical... they could have been even more 'pro-earth' if they'd said;

"No- you can't sit at home and use energy by watching it on TV... these famous acts will only be viewed by people at the concert"...

if you see what i mean

Probably would have been more energy efficent for everybody to stay at home

Spinal Tap was great! Metallica was a bit disappointing. Jaymz' voice was terrible and I could hardly hear his guitar. I never thought of Metallica as environmentalists. Jaymz hunts and all of 'em drive trucks and hot rods.

Today I took my Mustang to the Dutch Mustang Club track day and thrashed it around the track for 20 minutes. I burned up half a tank of fuel today to help warm up the Earth. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

cr@ppy line up and sound aside, did anyone else wonder how much energy was needed to power the lighting rigs, masive pa system and transporting the artists around the planet? Then multiply that by the number of concerts around the world.

Yes one cynical scientist here. Dont believe the hype.

haha... well the whole was supposed to be "carbon neutral"...

Yeah, I watched a tiny bit and was thinking "They'd better be powering all those lights and cr@p with solar panels or something, because if they aren't that's one huuge box of hypocrisy sitting over there..." :D

I missed it all cos I was playing a gig and I had a bloody great time.

sambo · « **Reply #25 on:** July 08, 2007, 11:11:04 PM »

see- beatle is the real music lover here.

just out of interest- what music do you play 38th? i might make a thread bout this- i know next to nothing about everyone's music on here...

Well I am in two bands at the moment greedy sod that I am. Last night is general covers from 1960's through to now -I play lead and rhythm guitar-nothing heavy but a fair bit of classic rock and blues.I have to sing about 50% so it is hard work (as we played for 3 hours last night). The other band is more rock and blues and I play bass in that but I only sing a few cos two other guys do the bulk. Keeps me busy Sam.

^cool!.

i can't imagine playing for 3 hours... even just guitar let alone singing as well.

i'd love to be in 2 regular gigging bands. lucky so and so!
