Live Earth concert

[ESD's twin brother]

Since Louis has moved from California to NY and has been on O & A 3-4 times in the past 2 weeks and now he is doing a 3 hour show Saturday July 7th, is he now semi-4th mic? Also, is this a permanent slot or just a one time shot to see what he can bring to XM without O & A?

[MikeB]

I didnt know louis ck moved back to nyc. I suppose he will be in the rotation:
Bill Burr and Joe Derosa
Lazlow
Patrice
Bob Kelly
and now Louis
(Than and Sam after the other shows)

[riverofpiss]

That is good news, I find Louis' comedy hilarious.

[J.Clints]

Very Cool I cant wait. I am going to see him later this month.

From wht I understand, he did move to NYC from Cali. I believe Jimmy mentioned it a few weeks ago. I cannot be 100% sure though, but I believe it is true. He lived in D.C. and in Mass. for a while and getting gigs in NYC is probably easier than L.A.

[lleeder]

This great news he's my favorite comedian from the show.

[dereckfishboy]

I've always loved the guys comedy, from the first time I saw him do stand-up, so I say more Louis is better... takes more time away from boring-ass Patrice....

[JPMNICK]

I actually think Loius has become one of my favorites that has ever been on the show. I think he fits in great, knows when to speak and knows when to be quiet, and he brings the filth which is hysterical.

And I am very happy he is getting a Sat Night virus show. i think that the more live programming on the channel the better. and as the shows get better, it might motivate Xm to sign a few of them permantly

[WRESTLINGFAN]

I figured I would post this in the politics and current events thread. I have a feeling that this will basically steer off course from what its intentions are. I know alot of musicians are on the whole save the earth campaign but do you really think Ludacris is really focused on this whole topic? Plus it will probably turn into the whole US tortures, end the war, end capitalism etc.

If they really are concerned about the environment then why are they going to have pyros blasting up into the air. Did they ever think how much electricity is going to be wasted from all these acts.

This is basically going to be another corporate sham when its all over and done with. 6 dollar waters for sale. half the acts dont even give a fuck about the environment and basically a big money making scheme

Pretty much sums it up for me. Thanks for saving me the time.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

I saw on the news that its going to be performed on all 7 continents. A band must really suck if they are performing in Antarctica

[sknight]

I know I'm not watching it unless this was the lineup:

King Diamond
Testament
Deicide
Cynic
Atheist
Death Angel
Celtic Frost
Threshold
Alchemist
1349
Sabbat
Exodus

[J.Clints]

all rock? any country?

What ever happened to Celtic Frost? Is it true that they got lost?

[TheGameHHH]

im listening to the stage right now on XM 41 with the yankees game on mute. im only listening cause i wanna hear jack johnson's set. yea theres some artists that really care and theres some that dont. whatever, im not looking at this to save the world.......i just wanna hear some music.

[sknight]

That's like the unfunny joke one elderly person tells after another.

But since you asked:

Ooooooh, Sooorrry! No pickups allowed. Only gulfstreams and blinged out hummers.
Rednecks are part of the problem, not part of the solution. Didn't you get the memo?

You know what? Rip the hippies all you want for their intention to save the world, but at least they are getting off of their asses to raise awareness. That's all the event is at the end of the day...a way to raise awareness about environmental issues. And is that such a bad thing?

As for their concern about the environment, this is directly off of their website (http://www.liveearth.org/event.php):

With support from the U.S. Green Building Council, creators of the LEED Green Building Rating System, Live Earth will implement new Green Event Guidelines. All Live Earth venues will be designed and constructed by a team of sustainability engineers who will address the environmental and energy management challenges of each concert site, as well as the operations of sponsors, partners and other Live Earth affiliates. Each venue will not only be designed to maintain a minimum environmental impact, but will showcase the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency, on-site power generation, and sustainable facilities management practices.

Sounds like they are certainly putting their wallets where their mouths are to me. Next time you wanna rip someone for their credibility, try doing the slightest bit of research.

[scottinnj]

Well, here's a different perspective on the "greeness" of the event.

Clickety clack, don't talk back (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=466775&in_page_id=1879)

Well intentioned as it may be, it's just like when Barbara Streisand tells "the common folk" to cut back on their energy consumption on her blog while her home takes no less then 4 industrial AC units to cool it in the summer.

And all the accolades goto Al Gore, the biggest hypocrite of them all. As bad as you progressives complain about "war profiteering" with Haliburton (and you do have a point and a valid argument) the same goes with this dirtbag making money off his "carbon offset" company that assuages the guilt of the filty rich who make no effort in conservation.
Can't stand the thought of giving up your Learjet to reduce your "carbon footprint?" Send Gore's company some money, and he'll plant a few trees and invest the rest into one of his Alternative Energy companies.

[scottinnj]

A proposal for Gore to appear at concerts in Britain and America on the same day - something that Phil Collins, the Genesis drummer and singer, was able to do at the original Live Aid in 1985, courtesy of Concorde - has been dropped because of the anger that the 'gas-guzzling' flight would provoke.

Another inconvenient truth? A gee gee gee gee gee!

[prothunderball]

So War profiteering is the same as putting money into alternative energy companies? good to know.

[scottinnj]

It is if you "pretend" to care, but are just as bad a scumbag as the Vice President.

Yeah, then its the same.

[epo]

Well I'll try to quote sources that aren't a conservative British tabloid.

First, yes, naturally in an event this large there are carbon imprints from moving people. That is a simple reality, but it is a minor imprint when you consider what we can all do if we reduce a bit of our imprint in our daily lives.

Beyond that singular point, that article has nothing. Well, other than the fact that Madonna is a greedy whore, with pictural evidence. (How tabloid-ish). Plus her personal portfolio is a trainwreck in terms of her carbon imprint. I will never defend her.

As for the events themselves they have set up guidelines which include (http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2007/07/05/ap3887916.html): "all electricity that powers the shows will be from renewable sources; concessionaires will be encouraged to use suppliers of biodegradable plastics; waste will be minimized through recycling and reuse; venue offices will use as little energy as possible; production lighting will include the use of LED light bulbs; staff and artist air travel will be offset through carbon credits; and ground travel will be by hybrid or high-efficiency vehicles where possible."

And the scope of the event is to RAISE AWARENESS about the environment. It is estimated that over 2 billion people will be the audience for this event. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/07/07/ealive107.xml) I would say that is a pretty good rate of exposure for a worldwide concert. They are doing their job.

The goal of the affair according to Al Gore: "Live Earth will ask people across the world to commit to changes in their lives and to move other people, communities, companies and governments to reduce our carbon output by 90 per cent by 2050 and ensure there is a new, global treaty on climate change by 2009."

Honestly, I don't see how that couldn't be a good thing.

(Why I am defending a concert I'm not even going to watch?)

[epo]

Yeah, then its the same.

This right-wing smearing of Al Gore is quite tiresome. The guy is honestly trying to help the world. Would you rather he just go on the public speaking tour, bank a big bag of money and go home?

It's nice to see a former politician give a shit.

[scottinnj]

Well I'll try to quote sources that aren't a conservative British tabloid.



C'mon dude, you're going there? You're link was to the concert's website itself! Can't get any more biased then that.
All I did was a quick search. I had no clue what the "bias" of the newspaper over there is. In fact, I don't even subscribe to a paper. My local paper part of which can be read online here (http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/#gallery-pane-0) is so worthless I think I get a carbon credit for not buying it.

Fair enough. My point was that the source is important and the English tabloid didn't lend an air of credibility to your argument. This should be something that all of us (myself included) always strive to do when sourcing materials.

As for my quoting the website, I only did it in terms of their claims of the concern for the environment & I told everyone it was from the official website. I didn't hide it, you all knew where it was coming from.

Here's what I don't get. Conservatives generally have this major hangup with the environmental movement. But if it's sound long-term policy (ecologically & geo-politically) and the energy companies can profit....then what's the fucking problem?

[scottinnj]

So I did a quick check over at the Native Energy (http://www.nativeenergy.com/welcome.html) website, and used it's "Carbon Offset" calculator. Apparently, a round trip from my home to Orlando costs me 24 dollars to pay my dues to mother earth for the .624 tons of carbon my minivan put into the atmoshere.

Why is this bullshit? I'll tell you. The company gets free money from suckers who buy into this "carbon footprint" sermon. Not investors, plain old ham 'n' eggers who want to do something positive. And the celebrities performing, get to tell you, the audience, how you are bad for the enviroment, and they the enlightened ones, are good people because even though they are putting an estimated 220,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere for this one event alone, and burning thousands of gallons of non-renewable fuel that we will never be able to get back, the local concert venues will be creating sewage and trash (some of which in fairness will be recycled, except in NJ) that will be put into landfills and tax the local water treatment plants. (which will use more energy!) But that's okay, because Native Energy is going to one day with the money they get from the ticket sales of the concert, build a windmill farm or finance a methane plant or something. How? They haven't said. When? It's a mystery to me. But I'm sure the board of directors over there will make sure they get their cut of the profits as quickly as possible.

Carbon offset companies are the equivalent of snake oil salesmen. Buy into their BS, and you can (guilt-free) burn all the fossil fuels you want, and create as much trash as you ever have. Just give this company some money, but the only return you'll get from your investment is peace of mind-the portfolio is reserved for the "enlightened few" who I'm sure will spend the money you gave them wisely. After all, they're enviromentalists!

I'll agree with you that I'm not all into these carbon offset companies. However the largest issue is the manner in which we burn energy and I'm thankful that it's finally a mainstream discussion.

It's a tough argument, especially when I'm real big on alternative fuels and such.

The sticking points I have with people like Al Gore are:

1. The continuous Harping on America's energy consumption, while ignoring China and India who's government and citizenry have absolutely no concern for the enviroment at all, nor do they have any incentive to change their ways.

2. The Lockstep adherence to failed policies such as insisting we join the Kyoto Treaty, which exempts the above named countries. Even if America becomes 100% green, and every bit of energy we use becomes renewable, all that does is transfer the pollution of the atmosphere to other regions of the earth, and fossil fuel consumption will still continue to be a major world problem that will be dealt with with military action. Always has, always will.

3. The name calling. I as a Republican am sick and tired of being told I and my party ALONE are the problem, and if we just elect more Democrats, we can save the world! That's is hypocrisy at it's highest. Here in New Jersey, Governor Corzine just signed into law (http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/top_three/story/7489597p-7385126c.html) a bill that will force companies that do business in New Jersey to reduce their energy use arbitrarily without explaining to us how we are to do it, or how the state is to help.
The legislation requires the state to reduce global warming gases to 1990 levels by 2020, and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 80 percent below 2006 levels by 2050.
Meanwhile, the Governor has been quietly holding up construction of an ethanol plant in Bridgeton, NJ to pay back the unions in North Jersey in charge of the refinery workers.
But as long as he signs a piece of paper forcing New Jersey businessmen and women to be green (and pay for it themselves) he's an enviromental hero! YAAAAY!


Listen, I have come around to being green. I have a pickup truck that is a four cylinder motor, 2WD instead of 4WD so I don't tear up the fire trails I ride on, it get 25 MPGs and can run off of ethanol. I hate running my air conditioner, because I know that the bill at the end of the month is stupid high, and I also don't like the idea of putting that much more strain on the power grid.
Flourescent lighting throughout the house for common areas that stay lit more then other places, and so on and so forth. And there are a lot of conservatives like myself who want to do things like this and compromise. It's just unfortunate that the progressives in power are unwilling to do the same thing, IMO.

I really think that most of these celebrities really don't give a fuck about this issue. Its the "in" thing to latch on to for them at the current moment

[WRESTLINGFAN]

If Gore really practiced what he preached, he would do all his speeches via webcast, But hes free to charge buckets of cash and jet set over the world to speak.

[prothunderball]

I really think that most of these celebrities really don't give a fuck about this issue. Its the "in" thing to latch on to for them at the current moment

That's what celebrities do, so what? If the celebrities being involved raises awareness of how incredibly fucked up the environment is then I could give a shit what their motivation is. Sure it would be nice to have a concert full of people who truly cared about the cause but then it would be with about three bands and nobody would watch and nothing would be done.

Like they really are going to get to their venues using light rail or public transportation. 95% of them are going to be there just to be seen and heard, and when its all over they will all go back to their gated 25 thousand square foot mansions. Its a fucking scam

[scottinnj]

I'll agree with you that I'm not all into these carbon offset companies. However the largest issue is the manner in which we burn energy and I'm thankful that it's finally a mainstream discussion.



And that's where you and I agree. I'm sick of the Shell commercials telling me how they are spending 8 billion dollars over 10 years to "explore" alternative energy when in one fiscal quarter they pocket 20 billion after taxes and dividends. It's disgusting.
People like Willie Nelson are groundbreaking pioneers in alternative energy, and more and more people like him are doing the work that is going to make real change.

I worked with a guy who is now doing a bangup job installing solar and wind power generators at private homes and small businesses. It's awesome. I'm hoping one day to be able to have a windmill in my backyard.

I have a friend in Maine who's stepdad has his whole farm running organically and also gets enough electricity from his windmill to be able to sell electricity to the power company.

We need more of that, and instead of the bullshit tax breaks Bush gave so that "farm equipment" such as Ford Excursions and GM Hummers could be bought and written off by small businesses these types of investments should be rewarded by the states and federal government.

It's just this concert bugs me. I'll probably watch part of it, because I love The Police and Sting has been a big greenie years before it was hip (Deforestation of Central and South America) It just reminds me of when my brother in law went to see his doctor the first time his lung collapsed from being a 3 pack a day smoker, and the doctor telling him to quit smoking while lighting up a Marlboro (I shit you not!)

[epo]

I really think that most of these celebrities really don't give a fuck about this issue. Its the "in" thing to latch on to for them at the current moment

Even if that view of the world is correct, so what? They are on the right side of the issue as we humans need to clean up our fucking act.

[scottinnj]

I really think that most of these celebrities really don't give a fuck about this issue. Its the "in" thing to latch on to for them at the current moment

Not all of them. Some are doing this with enthusiasm, some are going in with the notion that even though they are not "helping" the enviroment by performing, the hope is that more people will be aware of the problem and do something about it.

Good intentions aside, I don't think this concert will do much. It's not like a fundraiser type deal like Live Aid was.

[BeltOfScotch]

I'm just going to a concert tomorrow, hopefully the preaching is kept to a minimum.

[WRESTLINGFAN]

For the Antarctica show, will Earth Angel be performed by the Penguins? ge-ge-ge

[scottinnj]

I stumbled across this little gem on World Net Daily:
Clickey Clickey don't give hickeys (http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51379)


Does anyone else see anything weird about this? I had heard once on Randi Rhoades (spellcheck please!) Air America show he has part ownership in a diamond mine in Africa somewhere. Did God speak to him about this, or is he just having a guilt trip and needs to form his own Carbon Offset Company to make money, er uh, receive tithes and offerings from?

I personally don't trust him as far as God can throw him.

[scottinnj]

Here's one Arctic group (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=070705025637.vyh5u7g0&show_article=1) that won't be performing.

Rock group Arctic Monkeys have become the latest music industry stars to question whether the performers taking part in Live Earth on Saturday are suitable climate change activists.

"It's a bit patronising for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world," said Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders, explaining why the group is not on the bill at any of Al Gore's charity concerts.

"Especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical," he told AFP in an interview before a concert in Paris.

Bass player Nick O'Malley chimes in: "And we're always jetting off on aeroplanes!"

Christ, this band is still around? I thought they were supposed to be as big as The Beatles, (or how many radio stations put them as), but all I remember is that they seemed to drop off the face of the earth.

[SinA]

from the other thread
Tall_James

I chuckle at all the fossil fuel being wasted to put on this thing.

i get the irony, but if they can increase awareness and demonstrate the public's commitment to ignorant politicians, than the energy used to put on the concerts isn't wasted any more than eggs are wasted in making a cake

the underlying philosophy in "green thinking" isn't whether the earth's temperature has gone up .4 degrees or that we're using non-renewable resources. its undeniable that we are just not living harmoniously with nature as we had for 150k years. we are an entity that is having a one-directional impact (consumption & extraction) on every other component of the planet. it's not right to take, burn, and give back only pollution.

To be fair they never said they should be that big. It was all the terrible music magazines like Rolling Stone and Spin, who just hype whatever is different.

[TheGameHHH]

ive been catching a lot of good music since about 10pm last night.......this is actually a pretty cool event musically.

[tele7]

Keith Urban was amazing!!!!

[JimBeam]

It is important that you have well known people speak for a cause because others can relate when they see a famous person but other people will also tune out because they do see the hypocrisy in it. That makes for the potential of the 2 groups canceling each other out.

[S0S]

about 5 more hours until the first Louis C K show on the Saturday Night Virus!

[lleeder]

4 hours 51 minutes

[Fallon]

I hope he does five hours of sex talk.

[K.C.]

Sticking with the music size of this, there's very little heat for Live Earth.

The musical lineups just aren't there for this, and there's only a handful of people even worth hearing outside of the London and New York shows.

I'm recording the London show from 8:30 to 2 ET and the whole New York show on my Inno.

Except two things:

1) 8,000,000 more times talent at Live Earth. And I'm not even a huge fan of the all around lineup, but you still get The Police, Pumpkins, Beasties, Wolfmother, Chris Cornell, Red Hot Chili Peppers, DMB, John "Did they tell you this was John Mayer" Mayer, and of course the best performance of the day...Spinal Tap.

2) It's pretty clear that this show is to raise global warming awareness...what ambiguous black hole of a cause is the Hannity Freedom Tour for other than 'Hannitizing' more people.

I agree.
Sorry if I gave a contrary impression.

The good thing about Hannitization is that the glassy-eyed zombies whose heads loll back and forth like Terry Schiavo watching a balloon bring that bullshit Manatee, Limpbaugh, O'Really and Dreck feed them to message boards and get pummelled when the facts are known.
Even better is they never seem to learn that their right-wing sites give them bogus information which makes jackasses out of them.

Springsteen has a habit of attaching himself at the hip to the headliner. My guess is he walks on with Roger Waters or The Police, or makes an appearence in the big sing-a-long at the end. Or he'll do an unannounced set.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't show up. He's as much an attention whore when it comes to Jersey as Bon Jovi is, if not more.

If that's the case then it was a mistake. They didn't even sell out Giants stadium. I assume that part of the ticket money would go to the cause so you want to sell as many as possible.

Wait, what? Name me one show where he shows up and he ISN'T the headliner? The only time he does that is at Jersey bars giving the "rub" to someone else.

Bruce knows that this is the Police's night. He's not showing. If he didn't show for Bon Jovi, he's not gonna show period.

You misread what I was saying...even though I really hate Springsteen, that wasn't an insult. He just has a habit of showing up sometimes. Hell, that's why most of the people I know who like him, do like him, because he does stuff like that.

As for the last time he did this, when I was at the Veritgo tour for U2 in Philly, he walked on. I think that's the last one I remember. I seem to remember him doing it with Pearl Jam and Jimmy Buffett (who I also hate) in the past to name a couple.

The Pumpkins were always Billy and Jimmy

James Iha only has writing credits on like five songs (and most of the five are co-writing credits with Billy). And Billy notoriously played ever instrument on Siamese Dream when they recorded the album. The guy is a lunatic.

And D'Arcy only had "Daydream"

Plus, the band fired D'Arcy before they broke up the first time for being a coke fiend.


It kind of sucks a little that James isn't in it, but he wouldn't really effect the music being written either way.

I've heard some of the bootlegs from the first leg of the tour in Europe, and having heard those, and this....they're about the best I've ever heard them live.

They were notoriously spotty in their first run at their live shows. Sometimes they'd be fantastic, sometimes they'd sound really shitty. I haven't heard those same complaints this time around...at least yet.

As for Duff, she had some very bad illness, it's actually the same sort of thing that's now effecting the Ground Zero workers, sarcoidosis. I would guess she looks a little chunky becuase of the side effects of some drugs she's likely on. Sarcoidosis usually effects the lungs and if that's the case with her she's probably on prednisone. Just a guess though.

My question is, what has Duff done to be relevant as a presenter? I mean, are we gonna see Jon Sencio and Kennedy next?

What's next? Is Sting going to bring out Billy Corgan so he can play Bullet With Butterfly Wings on his lute?

Is it too much to ask for Sting to blow the roof off the place with Synchronicity II?

[Hottub]

Is it just me, or does this thread need a little bit of sheeplovr?

P.S. John Mayer can bite me.

[HBox]

I like Duran Duran better when it's Bruce Campbell doing a piano solo.

[K.C.]

So who wants to bet Duran Duran played 'Ordinary World'

I'll go out on a limb and say they did....any takers?

[tele7]

I like turtles

Do you think he has it left in him?

They did. I saw it earlier.

[Hottub]

He'll rock it out on the lute!

Faggot!

[Tenbatsuzen]

Duran Duran on Bravo.

[HBox]

Holy shit. Something worse than kanye and The Police on NBC.

[Fallon]

How can one show be so good and so queer?

[Tenbatsuzen]

Do you think he has it left in him?

Just have Kanye do the intro by going YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! and then have Mayer dropkick him off the stage.

[HBox]

I've never seen someone whine out "What A Wonderful World" like it was a wet diarrhea fart coming out of his mouth.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Holy shit. Something worse than kanye and The Police on NBC.

Who WAS that?

[JPMNICK]

i turned in for the 1st time today, and the crowd shots of these drunk people singing along are hysterical.

i only saw the sting part, and shut it off when stupid Kanye West came on. Sting is still great, no need for the rap gimmick.

It's only good if Sting dresses up in his getup from Dune.

[HBox]

Macy Gray is on CNBC sweating like a Thanksgiving Turkey.

[K.C.]

Well, I'd have to say the best two thing I saw were the Foo Fighters and the Pumpkins.

Roger Waters gains points for having the best gimmick of the night.

[Tenbatsuzen]

The thing about the police, which I've always liked, is that all three of them are extremely competent and talented musicians. One of Andy's solos on the Police live set is one of my favorites of all time - top 5. It's the riff from "So Lonely" on the first disc. Fucking amazing.

SPIIIIIIIIIICE.

Alicia Keys hotness was a highlight for me.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Macy Gray is on CNBC sweating like a Thanksgiving Turkey.

Has Macy Gray done anything since her one album? It's really fucked up that a ton of one hit wonders have a lot more staying power nowadays. It's weird. Miss Harvey Danger.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Was she singing with Waters too?

She sang on a float in Spiderman.

You suck. Now I need to watch Flagpole Sitta on youtube.

[HBox]

She wasn't dark enough for what he was going for.

[tele7]

My highlight would be Keith Urban. His cover of Gimme Shelter was great. Also, the solo on Stupid Boy gave me goosebumps.

In that case, I miss Zebrahead too.

I hate to admit it but that was good. And included the hot Alicia Keys.

Keith Urban... covered... Gimme Shelter? This I must hear. I actually emailed Bear McCreary and suggested that Gimme Shelter would be perfect for BSG.

SWEET JESUS!!
I try to get some relief from is bullshit. I switch on VH1 Claasic, maybe a metal show?

Bon Jovi . Unplugged.

According to this article they did manage to sell out Giants Stadium. (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19631818/)

Keith's whole set was killer. I'm new to the whole "new country/rock" thing, but these guys can really tear it up live. Gimme Shelter with Alicia Keys was a perfect fit. Hopefully it will be on youtube later tonight.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Man, John Mayer is a really good guitar player. He's like, black.

[HBox]

Uh oh. Here comes that Kanye West Police abortion again on Bravo.

[Fallon]

Man, John Mayer is a really good guitar player. He's like, black.

Maybe that's how he's getting the hot chicks.

This isn't any better second time around.

Gimme Shelter on bravo now

[foodcourtdruide]

Ok I'm going to make a bold statement. Gimme Shelter is the best song ever.

[Fallon]

Wow this does indeed rock and she looks great.

Oh man! That's the first time I've thought about D'lo Brown in 4 years!
