Live 8

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I can't see one band on that list that I really like.

Most the bands on the list I hate, the rest I'm neutral about.

don't worry. there will be plenty of places to escape to. go to the vatican on the day, other people won't.
there's lots to see outside the city. naples is only two hours away on the train!

:D I think the Vatican is closed on Saturdays? I've not been there before, but been told it's closes on certain days. Hopefully it'll be quiet everywhere, but thinking about eating out on that day will be mad :(

Only Placebo and Muse interest me out of those listed and I don't even particularly care for the latter that much. However, I think the list is fine. They want to make money for charity, so there's nought wrong with putting out a line-up which the unwashed masses will want to see. A damn shame, but it makes business sense.

It'll be on the telly.

I'm slightly at a loss as to what the point is....given that it's not about raising money then obviously there'll be no "Give us you feckin' money" type outbursts. "Show us your feckin' awareness of things" is a bit woolly. I can't see the whole thing having any effect really.

And I agree that Geldof calling for a mass march and likely battle is more than a bit irresponsible. Hopefully it won't kick off.

Some non-goths, some not-at-all-goths, and some people who'd NEVER take speed.
And of course, we can't forget these loveable people can we? :lol:

And they can be supported by:

Some ambient guy, some rock god copycats, a few goth rock dudes, a group of heretics, and us.
