Is anyone watching LIVE 8 concert? BBC2 and BBC1 and BBC3

[RTKangaMummy]

It has just started

Not convinced about Razorlight. Lead singer came out in that awful "beagle ear" hat, and looked ludicrous. Thought he redeemed himself with a passionate performance, but switched channels for the only time during the show when he started lecturing the crowd and when he took his shirt off. Made me cringe.

Dh has waited all day to see Velvet Revolver, and at last they are on!

how the h*ll have velvet revolver got onto this lineup???? eh?????

i know slash is a legend but pleeeease!

Eh!? Did I miss the Killers ? When were they on? Must of been in the few minutes I was attempting to get DS2 to sleep!

ooops sorry kid xed posts

Scissor Sisters were FANTASTIC! Was worried about Dido after the first song, but she pulled it round, and was really good too.

DH just loves slash, we even gave DS Slash's real name as a middle name!

Don't like VR myself though, too loud!!!

I love slash - wanted to marry him when I was younger! - miss axle rose (sp??) though

slash is v talented legend no doubt.

but velvet revolver? even the name is pure spinal tap!

hope your dh is enjoying it tho!

Axl was wonderful in his prime. YOu wouldn't like him now though - quite tubby with bad cornrow hair extensions. But, still has that magnificent voice.

Glad to see the lead singer of Velvet Revolver looking healthy and clear eyed. Pete Doherty should take notes.

also wanted to maryr slash when i was younger and dh has been waiting for velvet revolver all day...next he wants to see the who

im just waiting for a bit of robbie

she has gone to sleep

dh said that he told her that nice kind girls like her could help by writing a letter to Tony Blair and sending some of her pocket money (to some undisclosed location) and she was passionately fired up with righteousness and went to sleep

fab dh enid!

God, I used to fancy Slash as well . Suspected he was a bit too fast for me however.

sally - I definitely thought he had a nice body, so no objection on that front. Just thought that the newest/youngest band on the show should perhaps show a bit more humility and reverence for the event. Shirt stripping didn't seem appropriate somehow...but, perhaps I'm showing my age.

But, having typed that I see the Velvet Revolver chap has his shirt off - so what do I know??

Bless her, enid. I had to leave the room when I realised they were about to show those clips. Which rather defeats the object, I know.

Axl was a legend. Saw them at Wembley years ago doing We will rock you with Brian May - Robbie'll have to go some to beat that.
I gave birth to ds in a GnR t shirt, what a rock chick

yes he's quite cool sometimes

in fact must reward him by getting off mnet and actually talking to him

just cos hes slash...pmsl

'velvet revolver chap' really really shouldn't have taken his off tho should he?

Nemo - did you see Robbie being interviewed earlier? He looks like he's been at the gym/on a diet in a major way...must be that California healthy living/body consciousness rubbing off on him!

bad hats seem to be the 'thing' this concert!
