I guess it's all right.

There's not really a point to it other than celebrity cameos. It's sort of like "We Are the World" without all the preachy bullshit about helping other people.

 

[Supafly]

plus the kids seem to have a jolly good time, which is as good a thing as the cash that got raised, I believe

 

[L3ggy]

It's not only Rock N' Roll, damnit!

 

[Supafly]

What else is it, then, Legs

 

[L3ggy]

Pure emotion

 

[Supafly]

Oh, THAT ^^

Yeah, I felt it, too. Reminded me of the days when me and three mates had a band and jammed and jammed. Bliss.

 

[L3ggy]

Like this.

 

[Supafly]

Way too many Kanye Wests or Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber and way too few of these guys on MTV

 

[L3ggy]

That is sadly true.

 

[ApolloBalboa]

I don't even know why you would mention MTV, when was the last time they were known exclusively for the music videos?

But yes, it is depressing.

 

[mrtrebus]

Fucking appalling. About as rock 'n' roll as Flower arranging & train spotting!

 

[Supafly]

Oh Mista, you were missed

 

[maildude]

Pretty good stuff. A few points:

--I dug seeing BB, Iggy and Eric Idle.
--Why did it end with the opening of Baba O'Reilly?
--Kid Rock is a dumbass.
--I didn't recognize anybody under fifty except Kid Rock.
--Keith may be brain dead, but nobody makes playing a guitar look cooler.

 

[Supafly]

--Kid Rock is a dumbass.

That sonh is so good even he could not wreck it :clap:

And here is how a tribute can go massively wrong, Madonna milking it over Michael Jackson, do note the fake english accent of hers. Sigh.



They did not even car eto play the frigging song, she just used the original song and a MJ double.
