On Steve’s logic, the only way for Bono NOT to be hypocritical is for him to give every last penny of his to charity and then become a wandering hobo, yodeling in the Adirondaks. Even then, he might be sending his emissions into the ozone.

Unrelated, I think that Yorke isn’t exactly the best looking bloke around, but he does have a charm.

Steve, don’t be an idiot. Radiohead are doing what they can. They are making an effort. To make the suggestion that they shouldn’t tour is just stupid. The band knows of the emissions that they put out from touring but they know they have to tour - they have too many fans, and, let’s face it, the band is great live. And they have to release the album in stores, because, though it may be hard to believe, not everyone is proficient with a computer. And at least they didn’t go the conventional route with the CD case and opted to have whoever buys the album to insert the booklet and CD in a used CD tray. I don’t see how they’re being “hypocritical”. Thom Yorke isn’t Jesus. But the band is doing their part.

The earth is doomed regardless!! The only way radiohead can save anything is to build a mofo rocket ship and moves everyones ass to Mars! If they want to help someone out they can find the producer of American Idol and whip his ass.

Did you know that the source origin of Earth’s dissasters might be hat civilization was operating on a wrong timing frecuency?

Yes, I’m aware that it was released on line. But it was then released as a CD in stores with plastic packaging. I should know, it’s sitting at my house right now in it’s plastic casing and will be for the next 1000 years

So….

Steve, Radiohead DID release their album online, and it had no plastic packaging even when it was released conventionally.

So…

Radiohead are an awesome band regardless, but the efforts that they’re making to do the right thing for environmental sustainability makes them heroes in my eyes. Just the awareness they’ve generated about different ways to reduce the carbon footprint of their tours and the associated challenges is worth as much or more than the actual environmental impact. It’s got a lot of people thinking— not just other bands but the fans as well.

Rather than playing mostly amphitheaters, which are usually secluded many miles away in the outskirts from a major cities… these bands should be booking basketball and hockey arenas instead.

Arenas are usually located downtown in the major cities, with plenty of public transportation options available.

If a band was truly green then wouldn’t the solution be to just not tour at all and relase all albums via internet and or stop using plastic packaging. Don’t get me wrong, I love Radiohead and plan on seeing them at Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver but it all just feels a little hypocritical.

No matter what you do to save money one way you spend alot of it in other;Darn if you, dare if you don’t. At least Radiohead and DMB are trying to make a difference in saving energy and everyone’s wallet/pocketbook at the same time.I agree with you Scooby, but most cities/towns/counties across the country won’t spend the money to provide public transportation to venues unless they can tax the heck of us to do so.

A lot of these venues should make available public transportation for the fans so they won’t have to drive to these events since driving is usually the only means of getting there. This makes a lot of sense also if you’re that type of fan who likes to get wasted and high at these concerts, and you don’t have to worry about driving or finding a designated driver if you’re still buzzed when the show is over.

jesus, thom yorke is one homely mother!
