Alter Bridge should've played on Live 8
 

Hey everybody!

I guess no one missed the Live 8 shows? Freaking amazing! Anyway... Can you imagine a song more perfect than "Broken Wings" for a Live 8 manifestation? I mean even Simple Plan were there and they played "Shut Up". What the hell does that has to do with Africans dying?

"Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls"

They should've been up there on one of the stages and they should have been a part of something that hopefully will change history!

I think if Creed were still together they would have definitely performed on one of the Live 8 shows. AB aren't as well known worldwide to the general media like the other bands who performed.

yeah i think they should have played and even though they arent all that well known i wouldnt have matter there where bands that played that people may have never of heard before all that matters was that they where there helping out

well... Whose faUlt is it? :rolleyes:

^^^ Hahaha!

OYE would also be great to play on live8!! The chorus lyrics suits perfectly for one of the missions of the whole thing!

Live 8 kicked ass.

I was there in the chaos in fairly good spots too.

Creed would've been a candidate I'm sure... but Alter Bridge is now at the bottom of the totem pole.

Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree, Alter Bridge SHOULD have been there. I know if the organizers would have asked Alter Bridge to perform there, the guys would have been there. My sister actually said "I see some bands I like there, so where are some of the bands you like at? Why aren't they helping out?" I wanted so badly to say that if Creed were still together, I guarantee they would have been there. They were among the top Rock bands in the world at their highest point, so they definitely would have been asked to play at one of the concerts and I know they would have said yes. Only the well known Rock bands were at Live 8, not the bands that are still trying to establish themselves(i.e. Alter Bridge). Even then, only a few Rock bands were there. I sure didn't see as many Rock bands as I thought I would.

If Alter Bridge had played Live 8 I would have been dissapointed--outside of U2 and Paul, only crappy no talent morons got invited.

Wow, did you run out for munchies during Pink Floyd?

From what I can remember Pink Floyd, Velvet Revolver, REM, Bon Jovi, The Who, Brian Wilson and maybe Audioslave (not sure, probably other bands I cant remember too) all performed for Live 8. Strange to me that doesnt look like a a bunch of "crappy no talent morons". :rolleyes:

Yeah, I saw Audioslave there singing "Like a Stone". I don't know how many other songs they sung, as that was the only time that I saw'em on TV. I heard about VR being there but did not see'em on TV. While there were quite a few really good artists there, there were also some really cruddy artists(Good Charlotte, Simple Plan etc.) at Live 8.

Man I missed VR and Audio Slave!!! The only good band i saw was Pink Floyd..

there were some shitty bands in th UK but all over the world there where many good ones
