Arctic Monkeys Have No Use For Gore's Ego-Fest

Posted by Dave Blount at July 6, 2007 2:59 PM

It's nice to see that not all pop stars are self-important phonies of the type taking part in the absurd tribute to Al Gore's ego known as Live Earth, which is supposedly intended to raise consciousness about the imaginary global warming problem.

Drummer Matt Helders explains why his band Arctic Monkeys isn't taking part:

It's a bit patronizing for us 21 year olds to try to start to change the world. Especially when we're using enough power for 10 houses just for (stage) lighting. It'd be a bit hypocritical.

Adds bassist Nick O'Malley:

And we're always jetting off on aeroplanes!

Kind of like the Goracle himself.

The band's hometown Sheffield has been subjected to some heavy rain lately. Since we are told that weather is caused by global warming, the band was asked to comment. Helders again:

Someone asked us to give a quote about what was happening in Sheffield and it's like "who cares what we think about what's happening?" There's more important people who can have an opinion. Why does it make us have an opinion because we're in a band?

Could someone please get this message through to proselytizing moonbat musicians like the Ditsy Twits, Ozzy Osbourne, Madonna, Linda Ronstadt, Eddie Vedder, Paul McCartney, et al.?
