| April 17th, 2010 at 05:39pm it's synergy  every band has to do it these days because the dip in record sales has been so dramatic.
it's like with Verizon on the last tour in america. Green Day needed that sponsor to have enough money to tour as vastly as they did.  |

They've never done an advertisement just for the sake of it |

I know the musical must be expensive (the Spiderman one Bono & the Edge are doing has been put on hold) but it just seems a shame they have to do things like this. |

| April 17th, 2010 at 05:47pm sure it's a shame but people who understand the music industry know that it's suffering atm. people who use this as ammunition against them don't know what needs to be done to survive in the climate. |

Yeah but they don't care about that anymore. I mean they're doing a musical, as Billie said, they're not afraid of anything now.
They're not doing it for personal gain. It helps ease things along without having to put up prices for everything else. It's the lesser evil, basically. But given the state of sales today it's a necessary evil. |

 Age: 36 Gender: Female Posts: 38824 | April 17th, 2010 at 08:32pm OMFG, I have been going mental for the past two and a half hours.
I needed to leave my mums, there was just too much going on and I needed quiet for I rang for a taxi... at 11:28pm, it is now 1:26am and I JUST got sodding home D: I had to call them FOUR times because I was pullng my hair out.
So anyways, it eventually gets there and it's basically a black van with windows and seats and the driver was like "come sit in the front with me"... creepy much? So I passed and told him I would rather sit in the back. He then kept looking at me through his rear view mirror. So to try and quell the panic I called my mum and made her talk to me all of the way home, incase he decided to strangle me in the back of his HUGE cab, she would hear my screams before he forced the phone from my hand and through it in the rive in which he would later dump me.

off topic but everyone needs to watch the MTV cast special, you see so much of what went into the show, it's awesome |
