invisible_r Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Here are some more artists that will cover his songs: John Lennon to be honoured The Cure, Snow Patrol and Paul Weller are just a handful of artists who will be getting together to pay tribute to the former Beatle, who was murdered outside his New York apartment building on December 8 1980 by deranged fan Mark Chapman. On Thursday (December 8), Sirius Satellite Radio will host a four hour-long 'Lennon Live' tribute which will feature live performances from Dave Matthews, Weller, Jamie Cullum, Dr. John, Daryl Hall, Stereo MC's and Lulu taking place at London's Abbey Road Studios and the Sirius studios in New York. Following two days later, on International Human Rights Day (December 10), 'Make Some Noise' will launch with the digital release of Lennon covers, including Black Eyed Peas' 'Power To The People', The Cure's 'Love', Snow Patrol's 'Isolation' and The Postal Service's 'Grow Old With Me'. According to Billboard, the tracks will be available through www.amnesty.org/noise amnesty.org/noisefor $.99 per track. Contributions from Duran Duran and Lavigne are set to become available early next year. The project stems from the 2003 donation by Lennon's widow Yoko Ono of the rights to his solo work to Amnesty International. Ono said: "It's wonderful that, through this campaign, music which is so familiar to many people of my era will now be embraced by a whole new generation."

I can't imagine what else grows on you...warts? fungus? lichen? You'll be saying they're a bunch of generous multi-millionaires who don't really want to screw a few more 'hard earned' cents out of their fans, next.

nobody_home Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 What a surprise! Another critic jumping on the Anti-Metalica bandwagon. How are they 'screwing' money out of their fans? Because they would rather have people buy their music rather than illegally download it? If you don't like it, don't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyguitar Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Well, I remember the 'Home Taping is Killing Music' campaigns of some years ago and the same old bunch of millionaire tossers supported that campaign, Elton John, Pat Benatar etc.....mind you, Metallica's 'give us more money' campaign was just another excuse to hate them....the real reason is that they are pompous, overblown windbags. Anyway...we digress. I'd rather have a penis reduction than hear.....50 cent doing Brown Sugar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
