I'm watching Live8 and was constantly annoyed by those fuckers dropping in and interrupting great performances. I thought they would lay off during the Floyd show. They didn't... they interrupted with shit like "isn't this cool?" yeah it would be cool if you would shut the fuck up and put the picture back on the band. Then they cut to commercial during Confortably Numb. It's just friggin unbelievable. Maybe they did it to create demand for some DVD or something down the line.

Pink Floyd kicked ass at RFK back in 94

jesus I am older than I let on

We were probably at the same show then... saw them there too.

Stupid stupid MTV. This is why I dont' pay cox the extra $20 a month for 54-120.
MTV's own messages boards are lit up over this: http://www.mtv.com/community/message_boards/viewthread.jhtml?bID=1520&tID=1946428&mID=14376137&offset=0

I'm surprised some of you still make the decision to put any of those channels on. None of them value MUSIC anymore so what's point. They seriously should think about dropping the names MTV and VH1 for something more fitting.

I haven't had cable in years, so it's a decision I am proud to be unable to make since 2001.

Fuck MTV.

Yeah, I resisted for years and years, but when I could only see Wizards playoff games on expanded channels I had to upgrade. Thought it would be worth it for the Nationals too but then Comcast and MASN got into their fight.

Dish also requires higher than basic service to get the Wizards games on Comcast Sportsnet. I get the feelling that those providers are in it for the money and not to provide a decent service.

I think it's more market forces. Local broadcast networks apparently see better ad revenue in playing the Network (with big 'N') lineup than preempting these with sports. It's just sad that the _playoff_ games didn't warrant preemption.

And don't even get me started on the Nationals fiasco. I concede that getting the team here unfortunately required giving too many rights to Peter Angelos, but not being able to see all the games on television sucks. Why MLB is agreed to let Angelos do this is beyond me. Arguing that a team's proximity to another is a reason to block it if the market is there is silly. New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles have two teams each... no reason why the nation's capital can't have one. But sports = money unfortunately.

AOL was the only way to go for Live 8. It was awesome watching all the different shows.

And you can still get some songs from there on demand. I wish I knew they were broadcasting it at the time... I was glad to see the uninterrupted Floyd show on AOL earlier this week.

MTV is a joke. They seriously need to change the name, because all they show are those crap reality shows. VH1 is becoming like that too. What happened to good shows and good music?

The only reason to tune in too MTV or MTV2 is to catch Viva La Bam.

Don Vito is the funniest guy on tv.

jeezy g just came by on the celly, he got those 310 numbas i like like r kelly, a lot of niggas tryin to take the spot but we the only ones still reppresentin like mascots
