No.
And ask the pilot to spell 'Radiohead' in the sky in vapour trails, while you're at it.
That'll go down a treat.
no
no you are not.
They are bastards for charging so damn much.
i will use my carbon footprint
to tred all over radiohead
ha ha ha
no
stamp that fucking carbon boot as hard as you want
well
they would think so yes!
i think you havent gone far enough
if i was you id hire a gaz guzzling Chris Eubank Mobile dealy and drive it up to the front of the stage, fuck them! theyre worse than the Council, always leaving them little plastic bins outside my front door telling me i'd better use it. And i do, for excrement.
If they all donate £1m to charity i'll leave as small a carbon footprint as i can.
they are completely in the wrong
they are musicians not politicians and have no right teling their fans (who put them where they are) what to do!
if they didnt make such good music i would be very angry, as it is im just going to ignore them
and as a touring rock band
they must have a pretty huge carbon footprint
they probably off-set
what is the quote and where is it from?
why not ?
why shouldn't bands express their views ?
.
that is a totally stupid viewpoint. it's actually a very reasonable request to ask their fans to think about the way they travel to the gigs. they are not ordering you about, in fact they haven't actually ASKED you to do anything. they are just drawing attention to the fact that the option is there for the fans to think about their impact on the environment, and that can only be a good thing
that's stupid
they have every right to ask (not tell) fans to try and be green. are they not allowed to have a viewpoint?
anyhoo, i'm not going to see radiohead at al. I win!
i'd take this more seriously
if they weren't doing their american tour in two legs several months apart.
i read that
they now have one load of gear etc permanently in america and have a seperate set-up in europe so they don't have to fly the whole caboodle everywhere they go. after the first leg they put it in storage and just pick it up when they come back. they're definitely trying, god bless 'em
i am also doing exactly this
got tickets for the saturday.
sorry thom :-/
Yes you are.
You're killing the planet, don't you understand.
No one should go see them, so no transport and no carbon footprint !
every song they sing
on tour kills the planet more.
every remix they want made causes more computer power theft from our beloved planet earth.
every copy of Pop Is Dead murders a baby seal!
im flying to Milan
to see them, sorry Thom !!! also see you at Roskilde
