Wonder what the carbon footprint of this little exercise will turn out to be?

It doesn't matter, because they are "raising awareness"

Peppers were ok....not even close to the Foo's...Grohl...owns the place

Always liked the but heard him on Radio One this week. I didn't really see the appeal until then...

No, I think you may have misunderstood...I liked the music and the power they had over the audience

[DAVE-W]

Yes indeed.....I'm a fan of both the Chilis and the Foos but Dave Grohl stole the show for me tonight.....you can REALLY see how much he loves performing...and boy what a performance it was.

Madge to finish for the UK performances then......the US performances go on until 4 in the morning.....Bon Jovi and Fall Out Boy to name but a few.....wouldn't mind staying up for that but me and the missus are on our second bottle of Pino Grigio and i'm not sure how much longer I'll be conscious for

The one with red hair in the Pussycat Dolls is/was definately a fella though

For the Pink Floyd fans out there, Roger Waters is playing one of the US shows.

I know it's from the Daily Tale but here's a few interesting stats

Saw Nirvana in '91 in the states....I used to play the drums and believe me, you hardly noticed Mr G. when Cobain was on stage.......I think he has learnt a lot from those days...hats off to him for tonights performance

It's the Wail, so incredulity level is at maximum, but if those stats are even half right, then this event is an environmental disaster on a grand scale - if you're so inclined to accept AGW as a hypothesis.

Not that I give a monkey's, mind, because I don't actually believe it'll make any difference either to attitudes or the climate, but the hypocrisy is beyond staggering and into the realms of pretty ing impressive.

What did Baddiel say? (I have only seen 30 secs of it on the news and have no intention of seeing any more)

It's not my 4x4 or your 4x4 that's causing this, it's been going on for hundreds of years...

That Madonna has a right potty mouth on her.

What a shit song from Madge, what a load of utter utter bollox, how dare she lecture me when she purportedly pollutes 100 times what an average UK citizen does (according to London tonight).

[Puggit]

Let me get this straight about the Anna Friel song...

Madge is playing a guitar and there are a bunch of poofs doing the locomotion?!

For me the highlight of the whole hypocritical, sycophantic day was Terence Stamp solemnly saying "The biggest threat to the planet today is Global Warming" I think the world will be absolutely fine if we are around or not actually Terence, perhaps you meant the biggest threat to mankind?

God bless Al Gore

And she's an absolute hypocrite, there to promote a new song where she jumps on a green band wagon. To quote the Daily Wail, 'Madonna's carbon footprint is only drawfed by that of her ego'!

[Neil_Sc]

Not many people jumping up and down?
