ALUCINANTE!!!! :nono:- July 2007 News
Live Earth fails to pack large-scale punch The Sunday Times 8th July, 2007 Robert Sandall It did what it said on the poster – but no more. The British leg of Live Earth started at 1.30 pm sharp with a thunderous five-minute drum fanfare by a 20-odd troupe of flailing percussionists, battering a miscellany of ethnic skinned instruments. Led by Roger Taylor, formerly drummer with Queen, and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, their SOS pattern, hammered out in morse code, was a cute way of flagging up the Live Earth message: environmental calamity ahoy. But it couldn’t disguise the problem that regularly threatened to becalm this Wembley show. As a concert, Live Earth was not the repeat of Live Aid/Live 8 it clearly wanted to be. Unlike the events organised by the charismatic Sir Bob Geldof –upon which this one modelled itself closely, right down to its choice of name –the acts who answered the call from Al Gore’s people to play at Wembley Stadium were a bit short on superstar clout. It was Geldof’s legendarily persuasive powers which got Pink Floyd to abandon a 20-year feud and re-form for Live 8 in Hyde Park in 2005. There was nothing on the Live Earth London bill to command that level of anticipation and potential drama. With the exception of the closing act Madonna – who played next door at Wembley Arena only last summer – there was nobody on the Stadium bill with the cross-generational appeal, and catalogue of monster hits, to supply the great unifying moments which event gigs need to make their message stick in the mind. Queen singing We Will Rock You at Live Aid, or Robbie Williams leading the 80,000 Live 8 crowd through a giant karaoke session of Angels, are worth far more in this context than the 20 minutes per hour of worthy exhortations dished out on screen or by guest celebs at Live Earth. Genesis were the first band to take the stage, playing a four-song sample from the set they performed in its entirety later in the day at Manchester as part of their current British tour. The middle-aged-male contingent in the crowd were delighted to welcome back Phil Collins’ recently reformed band of pop-rock veterans. An element of surprise entered an otherwise solid performance when Collins appeared to let out a rare ‘f **k’ during Invisible Touch. But with latecomers still trickling into the stadium, Genesis landed a few punches – notably with the environmentally incorrect Turn It On Again – without knocking anybody out. Razorlight fared better. Their music hasn’t yet acquired the dimensions to suit stadia but the predominantly under-40 demographic of the audience seemed more attuned to Razorlight’s brand of fizzy guitar rock than the more ponderous Genesis. As the sun continued to make a long overdue comeback over London, Belfast’s finest, Snow Patrol, went down well with the arms aloft faithful on the pitch at the front. Further back though, as well as up on the terraces, the audience seemed to be enjoying the sunny afternoon as much as indie anthems such as Open Your Eyes. A similar atmosphere of music-as-wallpaper surrounded the performance of the next couple to take the stage; the beardy singer-songwriters, David Gray and Damien Rice. Their fiercely shouted duet of Que Sera, Sera, specially worked up for the occasion, may have had some bearing, lyrically, on the future of the planet; but it sure didn’t sound like the kind of music we might be listening to in our putatively greener future. With the arrival of Kasabian, launching into the swaggering title track of their latest album, Empire, the decibel level in the stadium went up noticeably. So did attention levels. Even the tee-shirts queuing for drinks at the bars interrupted conversations to shout their approval. Kasabian have been touted as the new Oasis and while this showing didn’t represent a breakthrough, it showed they can rise to a big occasion. They even remembered why they were there, enthusing bizarrely about how they wanted “to save the polar bears”. Paulo Nutini was another newcomer who injected a sense of urgency into a concert sagging under the weight of its own worthiness. Following Al Gore’s televised lecture on climate change, Nutini’s youthful rocking r'n’b vocal reminded us that politicians need musicians more than musicians need them. Just when it appeared that this concert was developing into a rather earnest, all-male affair – onstage if not out in the 50/50 audience – Stacy Ferguson of the LA hip-hop band Black Eyed Peas saved the day. Her soulful account of Big Girls Don’t Cry was the most nakedly emotional moment so far. Next up, the Peas’ signature hit, Where Is The Love, became the first song to get the entire stadium shouting and waving along. A big moment at last, and a hard act to follow. Too hard, sadly, for John Legend. One of the most sophisticated new talents in American r’n’b came and went in a blink, performing just one song alone at the piano before most of the crowd noticed his arrival. As the halfway point beckoned, the event needed a serious lift. What it got was Geri Halliwell, flagging the return of her old group later in the year and introducing, right now, Duran Duran. Like Genesis, but with more modern haircuts, Simon LeBon and co turned in a thoroughly professional 20 minute resume of four of their old hits. The audience applauded but soon afterwards were seen amusing themselves with Mexican waves. If anybody could raise the temperature of an event that needed a bit of old fashioned warming, it was Red Hot Chili Peppers. Capering about the stage with an abandon which shamed the static efforts of the younger bands, the LA four-piece’s explosive punk-funk had the energising effect of a double espresso. By The Way got a roar of recognition comparable to that accorded to Black Eyed Peas. But then, again, the pace flagged. More indistinct rocking, this time from the British band Bloc Party, led to a soul-lite performance from Corinne Bailey Rae, which cruelly exposed new Wembley’s brutal acoustics. Three robustly melodic songs from the keyboard trio Keane interrupted the snacking which had replaced rocking as stadium favorite, before a concerted sonic assault from the American heavy-metal band Metallica. Screen images of elephants plodding along behind them, designed to assist the ecological message, did nothing for the thick trudge of their music. After six hours of non-stop seriousness, humour in the form of the re-convened joke prog-rock band Spinal Tap offered welcome relief. Christopher Guest and his absurdly wigged associates were undeniably funny, particularly when they were joined by a dozen pointless bass players from the other bands on the bill. But you had to be in on the joke when it was originally cracked in the 1980’s to get what was going on in 2007. Most of the Wembley crowd looked bemused rather than amused by the Tap’s antics. James Blunt’s performance was a Wembley wallpaper moment, uniformly pleasant and in tune, but notable only because he didn’t play his theme song, Beautiful. Nobody could accuse the Beastie Boys of singing in tune, or indeed singing at all. The inclusion of this arty, whiny, faux-rap band so high on the Live Earth bill appeared to be an example of the organisers outsmarting their broadly middle of the road audience. Swerving to the other extreme, next to appear were Pussycat Dolls, an all-girl American group who came on like lap dancers, strutting and writhing down the apron stage with their big hit Bet You Wish Your Girlfriend Was Hot Like Me. That’s ‘hot’ in a good way presumably, rather than an environmentally damaging one. Foo Fighters fared best of all the numerous guitar bands on the Live Earth bill. The Foo’s front man, Dave Grohl, formerly of grunge Nirvana, had as many women jumping in the air as men, and his frantic but vulnerable vocals on Best Of You brought the entire stadium to its feet. The ear-splitting cheer that greeted the end of the FF set left no doubt that Grohl was Man Of The Night. The Woman of the Night award was a shoe-in. Not for the first time in her career, it fell to Madonna to rescue pop – or this concert anyway – from the grasp of bloke-ish noiseniks. As the only artist to have written a song specifically for the event - Hey You – Madge stole the show with a typically slick routine, punctuated with moments of complete darkness. A dystopian preview of a carbon-positive future which made Live Earth's point more vividly than all the preceding hours of slogans and lectures. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol...icle2027517.ece- July 2007 News
pathetic. :angry: http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/m3/jul2007/7/1/95ABC078-B096-781E-F9B03E3119C21496.jpg LOVING ANGELS IN BED LIVE EARTH 2 DAYS TO GO Robbie's weird Godly webcast 05/07/2007 HE'S been hooked on pills and endured time in rehab and now Robbie Williams has turned to God in a bid to beat his demons. The oddball rocker has posted a film of himself all alone in the middle of the night professing his newfound love for Jesus. Sitting in a darkened room, bleary-eyed and dishevelled, the troubled singer sucks on a fag and mutters eerily about his faith. Advertisement He tells how he wrote the song, titled Bodies, with a close pal named Brandon, before singing tunelessly: "God came in the sunshine, he showed me a lifeline. "What a day, Jesus really died for me. Yeah, Jesus really tried for me." Very uplifting Robbie, and we hope it helps sort your head out. But then he gets scary again and sings: "I feel like it's f***ing me, love lead off the energy." Errr... OK, mate. As the song goes on, his mental state gets ever more worrying. He goes on: "Rejection... from my reflection, I want perfection." The video is the latest instalment from the weird world of Robbie. Recently out of rehab for a dependency on painkillers, in May he posted another blog about visiting the grave of Dean Martin. And he raised eyebrows when he dressed up in drag for his She's Madonna video. Although LA-based Robbie, 33, has many tattoos some of which are Christian-based, this song is the first time he's publicly spoken of a belief in God and he joins socialite Paris Hilton, 26, in becoming a convert. Perhaps he has turned to the Lord following the scathing reviews for his most recent album Rudebox which received an NME Award for Worst Album. Or maybe Robbie's new-found musical direction could be an attempt to tap into the popular American evangelical music market. As his former bandmates would say all we can do is Pray it all turns out OK for The Robster. http://www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/3am/2007/0...89520-19407397/- Latest Photos

Gary Bore-low! Monday 02 April 2007 Closer Magazine (weekly) Mr Showbiz A Sunday supplemnt magazine published a completely sycophantic interview with the boys yesterday and I read it with disgust. Not only did writer Bryan Appleyard manage to shove his head so far up Gary's backside, it also made it look like Robbie Williams was some washed up old has-been. At one point Gary even slags Robbie for addressing his addiction to prescription pills. He says: "One side of me wants to send him best wishes. I blame everyone around him. If it was me going into rehab, you'd never know. I'd be so embarrassed. But this bloody big press release giving all the reasons why...It's a big coincidence, isn't it? So who knows?" It drives me bananas that Gary is continually jealous of the fact that Robbie Williams had the solo career he never could dream of. Yes, like most of the country I love Take That, they represent my teen years when I was at school. But are you honestly telling me if Gary Barlow had achieved mass success across the whole of Europe like Robbie did then he would have reunited with Take That? I don't blooming think so. So why all the fuss? Maybe Gary's a tad jealous that Robbie could announce playing ten nights at Wembley Stadium next week (despite being in and out of rehab) and probably sell out! Having met both Gary and Robbie I have to say I'm with Team Robster. He may be a mess in the head and a live wire but at least he has manners and is polite enough to say hello and actually mean it. Gary needs to stop taking swipes at Robbie and concentrate on his career - being the song writer who can't dance from that band that have reformed to have a bit more success.- Gary Barlow Has Mixed Feelings About Williams
OWEN SLAMS WILLIAMS' REHAB PUBLICITY RUMOUR 04/04/2007 12:21 TAKE THAT singer MARK OWEN has dismissed rumours former bandmate ROBBIE WILLIAMS entered rehab as a publicity stunt. The troubled singer went into rehab earlier this year (FEB07) just as his former band picked up Single Of The Year for PATIENCE at the Brit Awards. The timing of Robbie's stint at rehab has led some to claim the ANGELS singer used his spell as a publicity stunt. Even group member GARY BARLOW claimed his old bandmate should have kept his arrival at the clinic to tackle his addiction to caffeine and prescription medicine secret. However, Owen has defended his pal saying, "It's far more serious what Rob is going through. "Emotions and feelings aren't something you can play around with. You can't say, 'It's my birthday and they are going to win a Brit so I'll go into rehab.' "I don't think he'd do that. Robbie felt it was something he needed to do. "We wish him the best. I haven't spoken to him since he went in but we are there for him." Source: HERE- Latest Photos

We spotted Robbie Williams out at Hyde again over the weekend, this time sporting a bright green coat in yet another poorly-planned attempt to evade the watchful eye of the press. Could Robbie have simply gotten turned around and mistaken last Saturday for St. Patrick's Day?
