Posted February 18, 200718 yr http://www.u2france.com/article10039.html U2, Oasis, Coldplay to play ’Live Earth’? Wednesday 14 February 2007, by Corinne/Dead By David Cribb Coldplay’s frontman, Chris Martin. The list of artists that will play this summer’s ’Live Earth’ concert will be announced next week, with U2 and Kylie Minogue expected to top the list. Other acts taking part in what will be the biggest charity gig ever held are thought to include Oasis, Robbie Williams and Coldplay. Last Friday, American vice president Al Gore met with a host of media personnel in London, to begin planning the event. "It was the most stellar array of media figures you could ever see but to get all those people in the room on a Friday night shows how willing they are to help," said an inside source. The live shows will take place across the world - in England, the USA, Japan, South Africa and Brazil - and will occur on July 7 of this year. Gore himself was keen to rally the cause at the meeting, telling those present: "Television hypnotises billions but it is a one-way conversation filling minds with junk food. The only way to breathe meaning back into our words is through music. We need you."
March 10, 200718 yr Which reminds me of a story in the U2 book. On U2s latest tour Bono would give political speeches about Africa from the stage. And some nights they tended to go on a bit. Larry was not too impressed. In fact, Larry was so unimpressed he tended to yawn and look at his watch with some regularity. Which would have been fine. Except one night he was caught on the big screen doing exactly that while Bono was in full flow.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I remember with the gig I went to, he said something in between nearly every single song. :wacko:

April 3, 200718 yr Author And Oasis and The Stones are doing it, yet both refused to do Live 8 :rolleyes:
April 3, 200718 yr They can't all be on at bloody wembley. It'll last a fortnight. :lol: Why does Joss Stone always need to be on these things? She's brutal. :(
April 4, 200718 yr Author She has a great voice and is mies better than the majorit of today's talentless female pop stars IMO. -_- I look forward tot his gig though, so many massive bands, U2, Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Duran Duran, Oasis, Police, The Chilli's etc. And Price as well who rarely performs :yahoo:
April 4, 200718 yr Author Joss Stick :puke2: Do you have something personally against her :lol: I don't have any of her music, but at least she can actually sing and writer her own songs. -_-
April 4, 200718 yr I saw her at Live 8. That was enough. Loved it when she held the mike out to the crowd for them to sing along only to be met with total silence. :lol: But she likes Robbie so she gets a bonus point for that. ^_^
