Wishing you were here for the reunion of the Pipers at the Gates of Dawn
Published by Trent July 3rd, 2005 in General, Deep ThoughtsI am going to make this short as possible, but something happened this weekend that pissed me off to no return.
This Saturday marked one of the greatest music spectacles of my generation, Live 8: nine cities, spanning four continents, all hosting an entire day’s worth of live music ranging from current icons like Coldplay, to musicians so great their names have become as unmistakable as their music such as Madonna and Elton John. All in all, Live 8 made available the opportunity for the music and the message, to put an end to world hunger, to be broadcasted, uncut, nonstop, ALL DAY LONG, and with such a monumental task at hand who else would we put in charge but the morons at MTV! Why anyone would believe that putting music on MTV would ever be a good idea is far beyond the grasp of my own mind. I haven’t seen a music video in years, with exception to the occasional Making The Video (which forces you to watch 25 minutes of MTV production before you get a change to view the channel’s daily 5 minutes of music anyhow).
But either way, someone’s infinite wisdom prevailed and MTV ruined the music for everyone once again (don’t believe me; well don’t we all remember how great MTV’s coverage of the last Woodstock was?). Just like back at Woodstock, MTV somehow managed to chop every single performance into two minute (or less) clips rather than allow the public to see the entire performance, and does anyone at MTV have interviewing skills? God forbid the gusy who holds the cue cards ever get sick, no one at MTV may have know what to say or ask in an interview. Also, why is Sway (or ever how is name is spelt) being forced to talk about Bon Jovi? Personally, I could have given two shits less as to whether or not Bon Jovi played at Live 8, but why on earth do you get someone who knows absolutely nothing about rock music to talk about it? You can tell that Sway:
- Doesn’t give a shit about Bon Jovi
- Doesn’t know anything relevant to say about the band
- Would rather be anywhere else than at a Bon Jovi concert
- And did I mention that he doesn×?Tt know the difference between Bon Jovi and a hole in his ass?
But here is the grand crime that MTV committed:
- For the first time in over 20 years the band Pink Floyd was slated to play as the complete foursome of Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright & Nick Mason, by far the most monumental performance of the entire Live 8 stage list. Granted now, MTV did switch to live coverage at the time Pink Floyd made the stage but the rational behind what came next will baffle me for eternity.
First the VJ’s rambled on about nothing, laughing and jumping up and down like a bunch of pre-school fuck sticks, meanwhile Pink Floyd had already made the stage and had already began to perform Breathe. - Now, the next thing is a bit picky on my behalf I guess, but then again it did bother me all day long too. Since when do I give a shit about what the crowd is going at a show? And why does MTV feel the need to spend a good portion of the broadcast spanning over the crowd while bands are playing? If you have to show the crowd, show them when something that is not important is going on, like when stage hands are moving equipment in between bands or something like that.
- And the biggest piece of bullshit that MTV served up during the Pink Floyd performance…WHY THE FUCK DID THEY CUT TO THE VJ’S AND THEN TO COMMERCIAL DURING THE MIDDLE BRIDGE OF COMFORTABLY NUMB?????? The music is still going on and we have to listen to some idiots at MTV tell us how great it is, holy fucking shit people, we know how great this is, about the only thing that could top the reunion would be Elvis, a Beatles reunion or a Led Zeppelin reunion and if you haven’t noticed, all three of those require that someone must be raised from the dead! So tell me again, why I give a fuck to hear MTV tell me if something is good or not?
I am sure that if someone was breaking up with someone else on the Real World or if some 14 year old had to scream out how much she loves Usher MTV would have gone to any limit to make sure the proper airtime and coverage was given.
So to MTV here’s a big, fat,
FUCK YOU!
