Is it true Snoop is going to be on the UK Show?
That should be good
-
i was gonna go to the 1 in philly, but im just watching it on tv at this girls house.
-
I was gonna watch it for Snoop but i doubt he will play any good songs, i thought he might play one of the classics but i doubt he will.
-
whole thing has been amazing.
FEED THE WORLD!
-
haha :D
-

LOL @ it being uncensored

They're broadcasting Snoop's performance in a few minutes here on dutch tv - that's the only thing I'll be watching most likely.
-
"What's my motherfucking name"
Hahhaha
Primetime BBC. Got to love that. Bunch of muggy cunts will be phoning up now complaining. Been a bit shit so far, sould have just gove the whole 8 hours to Sir Paul and fucked everyone else off.
Doesn't Bono get on anyone else's tits?
And Bez you soppy cunt, do one.
-
Yeah that was funny i watched all of Snoop.
Who was the others up with him, Dj Jam and Soopafly? The Guy wth the belt buckle?
Beyoncé was on some crazy shit the way shes jerkin about during Say My Name though, wtfs up with that?

-

-

The Guy wth the belt buckle?
If im not mistaking it was Charlie Wilson
-
PINK FLOYD!! WOW, well, it was alright, but dang, dudes look ancient
-
^Ye, I just watched them..
-
STEVIE WONDER WAS AMAZING!!!
-
Kanye Is rockin it right now on the replay of the philly show
-
I've been watching it... in the U.S. they played 8 hours of it on MTV, and then another 2 hours of highlights are on right now on ABC. No sign of Brian Wilson yet, those motherfuckers.
By the way, as I type this, the Mexicans next door are shooting off Fireworks. May I remind everybody that it's July SECOND.
Anyways.
I'm not big into Floyd or the Who, so they didn't impress although I'm sure it's great that they're performing again.
Beyonce is hot, but once again I've gotta say the other two chicks are hotter. I've always liked them more, don't know why. Maybe because they seem more attainable? Could be a psychological thing, right?
Coldplay suck so fucking bad. That Chris guy is annoying as shit. Seeing Richard Ashcroft come out and sing with them was great, though. He's a fuckin' rock star.
Mentioning Rock Stars, who caught Slash, looking cooler than anybody has ever looked walking the earth, Glamming it out with Velvet Revolver? He was doing little charity walks down to where all the cameras were and shit. His stack of amps had his logo on them, which is apparently a naked chick on top of the name of the amp, with Slash's hat on. There has never been someone more rock star than Slash is a rock star. When people say "rock Star" they're really saying "Slash".
Bob Geldof looks like he needs some help himself. I know he's trying to save the world, but shit he needs to sit the bottle down for a little while, maybe get a haircut, take a bath, get some clean clothes. Damn. The man's a wreck.
Will Smith was horrible. Ab-So-lutely nothing good about his performance, which was sad. Not only were the songs shit, the dancers weren't even that great, he was all distorted, and even the shit he was saying before was annoying as hell. He was actually snapping his fingers every 3 seconds, over and over, to symbolize the folks dying in Africa. Years ago when Marlon Brando did almost the EXACT same thing at Michael Jackson's tribute concert, they said he was crazy. Will Smith is crazy.
Paul McCartney is great, but I've seen him so many times performing, and listened to his music so, so much that it's just kind of "blah" when I see him anymore.
When they showed that chick, that was dying 20 years ago, that they saved through the concert (yeah right, how can they prove that?) Anyways, when they brought her out, you know DAMN GOOD AND WELL, they went out of their way to find the sexiest, hottest chick that was around back then to bring out. Look, here's a starving girl. Look, she grew up to be hot as hell. That was so staged!
Greenday have turned into faggots. When did that happen?
Bono is just so fucking annoying, I CANNOT BELIEVE I was ever a fan of that group.
Madonna is almost as annoying, but she was way toned down this show and did a good performance. The choir singing Like A Prayer was class, even though I dont' really like any madonna songs, that one was alright.
Snoop was downright disrespectful, I don't even know for sure if he knew why he was there. I think (I'm almost positive) he actually thought the G8 hired him to show up. He thanked "The 8 man committe" who asked him to be a part of the show. ? Snoop? You on the weed again? So the woman tried to cover it up and said "How do you think the G8 are going to respond?" or something like that, and Snoop said that he thought they already made a good start by taking the first step.
Now, maybe Snoop's a shrewd political commentator and was consciously commenting on how the G8 forgave 40 billion dollars worth of Debt 2 weeks ago, or how Tony Blair made the summit this year about Africa. I think not, though. I think Snoop thinks the G8 are the people who put the concert together.
FUNNY AS HELL seeing the obviously old, white censors trying to fix up his performance. Back in the day, when "DreDay" first came out, they'd play it, and as the years went by, the bleeped more and more as the execs at MTV figured out exactly what they were rapping about. LOL. It kind of reminded me of that. They'd bleep him saying "Motherfucker" and then let at least a dozen go through without bleeping it. "Up in your bitch is where you might find me" "My Shit's On Hit Legit and now I"m on parole" all that was going through, he said "What's my motherfuckin' name?" at least a dozen times.
-
Oh, almost forgot, good to see Mariah Carey
1. Looking hot
2. looking healthy and thick
3. Looking happy
4. Performing in good voice
5. With a children's choir
Definately a highlight of the show, I'm glad she's pulled herself together, go Mariah!
-
Sorry if this sounds ignorant as heck but, what is Live8? Is it just a big concert tour for charity with big name bands and/or artists?
-
^ In a couple days, the G8 are meeting, that's the leaders of the world's 8 most important countries (haha, all you other countries will hate me because I phrased it that way!)
The purpose of the concert was to get signatures and names, pictures, etc. raise awareness for the starvation and poverty in Africa. At G8, this year they're going to talk about Africa, and Bob Geldof wanted to send a message that everybody is serious about wanting poverty taken care of there. They called it Live Aid before when they did it to raise money, this years was called Live 8 because they're not trying to raise money, they're trying to send a message to the G8.
-
Thanks for the info...sounds like an important event
-
Incredible Event, I Won Tickets But Couldnt Go :(
Everyone Who Took Part Should Be Commended, Lets Hope Change Does Indeed Come...And With End Results This Time....
-
I Got An Mp3 I Ripped Of Stevie Wonders WONDERFUL Performance, The Best Of All The Performers IMO, im uppin it now
-
here it is

-
I thought the guy from Maroon 5 handled that song pretty good, although apparently it wasn't rehearsed very well, they stepped all over each other and got the lyrics a little slanted, but he sounded good with that.
-
The Snoop performance was ambarassing to me at least. Did he purposly choose songs with a lot of swearing in them or something, he seemed seem to realise exactly what the concert was for. I'm sure all of the millions of africans that we are trying to help through this concert would really have enjoyed Snoop's plentiful use of the "N Word" throughout his set. They showed it live on UK tv so nothing was bleeped or anything, they went back to the studio after his performance and Jonathon Ross (it seemed pretty shocked) just said "thanks to Snoop for some mutha-loving fun there" and then got on with the broadcast.
As far as the rest of the concert, Pink Floyd and Paul McCarthy were both excellent, but I wasn't really into any of the other performers at the UK Gig. From what I've seen of the other concerts, Stevie Wonder and James Brown were both amazing, but it seemed that in most of them the older bands were outperforming the new artists. Will have to see what else I can catch of the highlights today for the other gigs.
-
Its not like Snoop could have did anything else, all his songs contain swearing. The people who booked him must have knew the songs content.
-
There were warnings put out about the concerts concert on radio so assume the TV had a disclaimer too - geldof did well yesterday he's usually more of a potty mouth - he musta just let snoop handle that - plenty of artists f'd and gef'd during the concert though...crowd were loving snoop - im happy that it drew awareness to the cause...thats all that matters.
-
pink floyd and paul was dope, so was bitter sweet symphony, i didnt see it all, anywere i can stream or dl the it? i cant believe i missed the killers btw.
-
^^You can stream it @ www.aolmusic.com
-
^ dope im watching, thanks
-
I don't really have a problem with Snoop swearing so much, I thought it was pretty funny, actually.
His purpose there wasn't to be a politician, it was to do what he does, Rap. He did that, well.
-
two words
PINK FLOYD!
-
Trauma you have just become the worlds most idiotic person, congratulations.

You must be jealous for the title. Either way you lost, lol.
Anyways, What's stupid about what I said? Snoop cusses. He raps. That's his job. That's all he knows, and that's what he did. How can you get mad about that? He doesn't know shit about people starving in Africa, but they asked him to come perform for free, to help the cause, and he did. He did his part, it would have bullshit for him to switch his whole style up and try to do some "We are the World" bullshit, that's not what they wanted him to do... they wanted him to come give a concert, which is all he can do to help.
-
I was talking about what you said about the little girl. Muppet.
-
I heard that Pink Floyd was offered a crazy amount of money (over $100 000) to go back on tour after this and refused. Not that I'm a big fan, but that's crazy that this is the first time they've performed in decades and may be the last time.
Also, there's some website claiming Paul McCartney was being a drama queen because people weren't paying enough attention to him or something, lol. Pretty funny.
-
LMAO .. i could actually hear the croud and the speakers from my house.. (in hyde park)
london had all shitty acts tho :-\

yeah and check this out
Although Live 8 was created for a good cause, it would be fun to see if the artists who performed possibly had an increase in album, supposes AudioAgression. As with the 1985 Live Aid, the bands that took part this year have seen their album sales exploding in the immediate aftermath of the music festival.
HMV has revealed that fans rushed to the shops yesterday (July 3rd) to purchase albums of the likes of Pink Floyd, who have seen album sales increase of 1,343%. The Live 8 effect is expected to continue as the week goes on, with HMV’s Gennaro Castaldo explaining: "This snapshot still shows that, like its predecessor 20 years ago, the Live 8 concert is having a marked effect on sales of featured artist recordings. It's likely this impact will become more pronounced throughout the week."
HMV's full list of the artists on Live 8 who received an increase in album sales can be found at this location. Some of the listed acts are shown below.
22. Coldplay 'X&Y' - 3%
21. Stereophonics 'Language, Sex, Violence, Other' - 36%
20. REM 'Reveal' - 50%
18. The Beatles 'Number 1s' - 71%
15. U2 'Best Of: 1990 –' - 116%
14. The Killers 'Hot Fuss' - 131%
05. Razorlight 'Up all Night' - 335%
04. Dido 'Life for Rent' - 412%
02. The Who 'Then & Now' - 863%
01. Pink Floyd 'Echoes - Best Of' - 1,343%
then in an interview david gilmore said that all of those extra sales are going to chairties
-
some stores here (well MVC for sure) have "live8" stands with albums from the artists that performed stacked on them
-
yeah and some of the artists think they didnt do the live8 for recognition.
-
I have absolutely no problem with them doing it for the record sales. Why not if you can do two things at once?
Lessay they want you to come visit people at the retirement home down the street (I've done that before)... and while you're there, they'll give you free lunch, and they'll be a free concert by a local blues band. Would you NOT go, because of the concert and the lunch? Hell no, you'd go "Damn, that's great!" and go and do two things at once.
-
london had all shitty acts tho :-\
WTF?

and the secondthing is something people have said to me "who was that fat guy with his shirt tucked in at the front but not the sides...." that was charlie wilson..
