do you think andrew marr and putin are related

[stevotrash]

does that include a video cassette recorder which is playing a video of max beesley on surf potatoes

for certain

[Jono]

I could not stand Gervais on that stage. He f*cked up, and he even brought Chris Moyles into it.

Peter Kay was amusing and certainly got the crowds going after so many hours of standing around.

[fish heads]

I usually like Peter Kay, but he was clearly nervous and died on stage - Amerillo? Give us a break. However it did seem to cut away when he actually did some jokes.

[DemonHorse]

yeah i think they did a bit of soundcheck for the who during the cutaway.. when I heard it I thought they were gonna talk through The Who, just like they had through Kaiser Chiefs earlier in the day.

[Walter Sobchak]

I went out - to a fundraiser do, so missed most of live8, I said to mrs oldgit, well, at least we wont have to see bleeding Amarillo, got to the do.....the first bloody thing the band sung, AMAR....BLOODY....RILLO! Sorrow drowning process started right there! now I got a bad headache!

the kaiser chiefs were in the US so they must have talked f*cking loud.

they cut off REM which was stupid.

[DemonHorse]

ah they were talking over what sounded like Oh My God... could have been beamed over to the screens or just the song played over a video I guess. I think it was when Jonathon Ross was talking to Jeremy Clarkson.

[Jono]

Yup, these were being played on the screens from other venues

[kendra k]

if you guys think your coverage was bad, you should have seen the vh1/mtv coverage in america. here's a messageboard thread complaining about how bad it was.

[Jono]

I was watching some highlights on MTV Hits and they sent in some Indian to present it. It was awful.

[Uglybob]

chris evans asking mariah carey what her favourite pink floyd song was.


whispering to agent, ummm, dark side of the moon

[Jono]

American highlights on BBC Three now.

[kendra k]

I was watching some highlights on MTV Hits and they sent in some Indian to present it. It was awful.

i think you mean amir? he's from vh1 and sucks. all of the vh1 and mtv vj's sucked. they talked over all of the songs, and had no clue what was going on.

[MC]

I could not stand Gervais on that stage. He f*cked up, and he even brought Chris Moyles into it.

What did he say?

[Uglybob]

funny about the boat aid thing today, that thing to get french people over on boats to go to the g8 summit, not one french person turned up.

[Quincy]

4 boats sailed into portsmouth harbour with some posh people on tahts it no french people. good

[MC]

Anyone know why Live8 isn't on Listen Again?

[kendra k]

check out aol's live8 site. they have it all there.

[Walter Sobchak]

Hopefully there will be a dvd set released at some time, I would like to see the interviews, and the bands seperately.

[kendra k]

well, aol has the performances split up already. (they don't work with firefox, grr...)

i heard the dvd's are going to be region specific- such that in the uk you'll get all of london and snippets of the rest, in canada they'll get all of barrie and snippets of the rest and so on. how lame is that? the dvds of the original is so great (4 dvds for both concerts and some extras- $40!), i doubt it'll be so good this time around.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

yeah i think i can live without the dross that was on in the US.

[DemonHorse]

Green Day in Germany however.....


didn't the Philadelphia gig have a long segment with Will Smith compering and doing old classics of his like Summertime... all with Jazzy Jeff in the background. He seemed to be on every time I switched over to that feed.

[kendra k]

will smith is the most obnoxious person on the planet. even more so than paul mccartney.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Tom Cruise makes my skin crawl. his efforts to be down to earth just makes me want to punch him.
