Great Show so far, (I'm not there though) but It looks awesome.

Put your name down here:

to be added to the petition to cancel the debt. So far over 2000,000 people have done so.

[Venus_Man1]

I'm watching it too. Audioslave was there. Ahhh... Audioslave... Well, the band I'm looking the most forward to is Pink Floyd. They're coming on 1:00 am here.

[Skya]

they have a terrible line up. Cant they even do ONE techno song or DJ????

[Nemphtis]

Oh shiz, I made the same topic in Entertainment before I saw this. Haha.

Did anyone consider if their was no poverty in Africa and other third world countries around the world, Earth's population would grow at a massive rate, causing overpopulation, and in turn economic failure. This would leads to war and depression etc. I'm sure Live8 is great entertainment for those who watch/watched it, but poverty exists for a reason, and without the would would become overpopulated, leading to disaster. Well, that's just my negative viewpoint I guess.

[Nemphtis]

Well, at least they won't starve to death. I'd rather die fighting in a war than die because I couldn't find a piece of chicken or a pizza or whatever. It's in our nature to fight, not starve. So War > Starvation. ;D

[Venus_Man1]

*sigh* Snoop Dogg played a part of ONE good song. And I am REALLY mad. I missed Pink Floyd...

[I'm Always BROKE]

Heh Robbie Williams made me laugh like he always does. ;)
I didn't saw much of Snoop Dogg. In the Netherlands they showed too much of Sting I think...

EDIT: Oh yeah... The Black Eyed Peas sucked. They are not as good as they do on the CD's... :)

There already is overpopulation, or rather, a disproportional growth (India, Asia). As well, if there was less poverty, people would be more educated, and correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the more educated people aware of the consequences of sex and AVOID such things until they believe they are ready for a family?

Just look at the US - despite all the horror stories you hear about teen pregnancy, the population has seen relatively steady growth, and in Europe, growth is actually so slow, that it threatens their economy. (Or was that Russia? w/e).

Skya: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:)

Anyway . . .

PINK FLOYD! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ROGER WATERS BACK WITH THE GROUP! *runs around like crazy* ;)

Venus_Man, in case you're wondering, they played Time/Breath Reprise (though AOL said they played Breath, I think they got it wrong), Money, Wish You Were Here, and Comfortably Numb :)

I was hoping they'd do Another Brick in the Wall, but either I missed it, they weren't on air when they did do it, or they plain didn't do it. w/e :)

[el_Sethro]

I'd have loved to have gone to some of those concerts. there's some really, really awesome artists there (Pink Floyd, Muse, Coldplay, Barenaked Ladies, Keane...)

anyway, I've already signed the petition and sent e-mails to the prime minister, etc, but I suspect that they probably have filters to block those kind of e-mails...

Agatio, it has been proven that more educated women tend to focus more on their careers, having less children, later in their lives. plus, without poverty they'd have much more access to birth control, condoms, etc.
Not to mention that it would be awfully insensitive to let these people suffer and live in these conditions to avoid overpopulation. just think if you where over there, poor and starving, and all these rich countries decided not to help you even though it is easily withing their power. what we need is a solution to BOTH problems (poverty and overpopulation), and this seems to be it.

[I'm Always BROKE]

So what if we have overpopilation. Those people deserve to live to!
Live8 is one of the best things the world ever did. And it was a good fun to watch it.

Yeah, my dad told me. I was also hoping they would play Another brick in the Wall. But Money is also a very good song. I really wanted to see them.

If anyone cares, did anyone notice something about Chris Cornell's voice? It was very weird.

[Elliott]

Well overpopulation is inevitable. One day Earth will become too crowded anyway, so I guess there's no harm in Live8, though I doubt a signle concert could end poverty in Africa.

[Skya]

Nice idea. I was forced to watch it though. And I missed the techno/trance :)

[Nemphtis]

I can't be bothered posting the link again, so if you go to the Entertainment forum and look at my locked Live8 topic, there's a link to a page where I've put up many of the performances from LIVE8 recorded, so if you missed one of the acts you can listen to them there, Pink Floyd is also there along with Snoop Dogg and a shizload of others.

Well, yeah, especially when they say 'We raising money, we're raising awareness.'

HUH ????

I think Best Week Ever put it best:

"Even a simple 'hmm.' That'll do!" (<<Or something like that :) )

The aim of the concert was to raise awareness of the situation like Andross said. Thier trying to encourage people to put pressure on the governments to forgive the large sum of debt Africa owes so that the African government can stop paying the debt and intrest and help their country get on its feet.

And i really doubt the world will become 'crowded'

[Elliott]

Heh, not crowded in the sense of too many people in place, crowded in the sense of the ratio of people to resources being too high, which creates depression, and like I said, chaos.

[Nemphtis]

Don't worry, I'll always be around to bring the population back down to a fair sum by slicing them apart. Problem solved! ;D

Coldplay were okay at the concert, it's as hame there was lots of Rock artists and barely any Rappers in London except Snoop Dawg.

It wasn't one concert, they did one In London, Paris, Rome, Philadelphia, Cornwall, Tokyo, Moscow and someplace else I think. Apparantley, it was the biggest event ever (most people involved).

[Yuki]

I have to admit Bon Jovi did quite a good job at the Live8. I also enjoyed Green Day singing their version of "We Are The Champions."

[Dullahan]

why cancel world debt when you can consolodate it into one manageable monlthy cash payment? j/k

even if the cause was righteous or whatever the fact remains it was a crappy pop concert, with Ricky Gervais showing he's about as funny as leproscy. any rock acts where split across the continents with hours between them.

[Nemphtis]

Damn, if I was Africa I'd do what anyone would do. Go into hiding and change your identity so you don't pay the sum. Of course that would mean the country would need to dissapear somehow...
