All Live Earth venues will be designed and constructed by a team of sustainability engineers who will address the environmental and energy management challenges of each concert site, as well as the operations of sponsors, partners and other Live Earth affiliates. Each venue will not only be designed to maintain a minimum environmental impact, but will showcase the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency, on-site power generation, and sustainable facilities management practices.

THE WHO

Pete Townshend describes the moment that he and Roger Daltrey bonded and began their partnership which helped create the Who. Townshend has been posting excerpts from his upcoming autobiography, titled Who He?, on his blog (petetownshend-whohe.blogspot.com), and recalled the second time he encountered Daltrey, which led directly to the band's formation.
Prior to the meeting, a teenaged Townshend had been exiled by his group of friends for striking one of them in the head, while not knowing that he was recovering from a concussion, which ended up worsening the boy's injury. Townshend detailed how future Who bassist John Entwistle was among the only people who stayed friends with Townshend when it seemed his whole world turned their back on him.
Townshend wrote that he saw Daltrey hanging out at their school one day, recalling that, "Roger Daltrey had been expelled for smoking but was still impudently attending school to speak to his cronies when he wanted to. I'd seen him around at the foot of Acton Hill, carrying an exotic white electric guitar, which he'd made himself... Roger swaggered up in his Teddy Boy outfit, his hair combed into a grand quiff, and his trousers so tight they had zips in the seams..."
He went on to write that, "A few boys watched the encounter with interest. I had suffered from some very bad press over the (concussion) incident with Chris Sherwin, and many of the boys who sat on the fence were curious to see whether Roger would threaten me (as he had done once before after a playground altercation). He simply informed me that John Entwistle had told him I played guitar pretty well, and if an opportunity came up to join his band, was I interested? I was stunned... The invitation was one which could forever change my standing in the childish little world in which I still moved."
Townshend says that he's awed by how much history he and Daltrey share: "The great thing about being out on the road with Roger is that this is a 43-, 44-year relationship. It goes back a long way, maybe even longer than that, 46 years. It's great to have that relationship. But the musical background for it is incredibly varied."
The Who kick off their final European leg on May 16th in Lisbon, Portugal.

MAROON FIVE

Grammy-winning pop band Maroon 5 scored its first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 Thursday, with the largest jump to the top in the almost 49-year existence of the chart.

With a new album in the bag and already climbing the charts through Internet pre-sales, Maroon 5 (tickets music) will launch a short but sweet tour of small clubs and theaters at the end of the month.
The "intimate club tour," as the pop band's publicist terms it, will kick off May 30 in Boston and cover smaller venues in six cities. The complete list is included below. The group intends to launch a much larger tour of mainly arena-sized venues later this year, according to its record label.
"We're getting back to our roots on this tour," frontman Adam Levine said in a press release. "We love the sweaty intimacy of playing in a tightly packed room; you can literally taste the energy.
"Anyone who comes to these shows will see us at our core with no frills. Good times guaranteed for all!"
The group is set to ship "It Won't Be Soon Before Long"--its second studio effort and first since its 2002 debut, "Songs About Jane"--on May 22. Aside from a pair of live albums, the group has been content to issue a handful of singles in the five years between studio works.
Maroon 5 worked on the new album in a Hollywood mansion reputed to have once been owned by legendary magician Harry Houdini, where the group spent several years "recording jams, building songs, and basically releasing the pent-up creativity that had amassed over the years," Levin said in the band's online bio.
Pre-sales of "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" have already climbed to the number one spot on the iTunes album-sales charts, with the first single from the album, "Makes Me Wonder," hitting the top spot on both the singles and video iTunes charts.

SAOSIN

Californian hardcore band Saosin has achieved an amazing amount of respect from the underground scene. The band held a structured fan base even before the release of the band's first EP, Translating the Name. Pre- orders for the record were extremely high as devoted fans, starving for the CD after being teased with a sampler located on the band's site, quickly brought the EP to the #1 spot on Smartpunk.com's Top 100 CD orders. To put it simply--Saosin is the name on everyone's tongue that nobody can pronounce. Beau comments, “At the time we started the band, we were actually listening to a ton of Bjork and Sunny Day Real Estate, and I remember thinking how cool it would be to start a hardcore Bjork band.” Past reviews read about this CD compares Saosin to the likes of popular hardcore bands such as Glassjaw, Taking Back Sunday, and Finch. Saosin seems to be in a league of it’s own. Guitarists Justin and Beau swap powerful-yet-melodic riffs, with Chris on bass and Alex on drums. Anthony covers the lead vocals. Every note, so clear and perfect, dumbfounds you as it is quickly joined by well-executed screams that give the hardcore genre its label. “All of the lyrics I write for this band are inspired by the members of the band. The whole new record, all the songs that I'm writing, are going to be about the tour and the time that I spend living in Beau's garage. They are all about members of the band, the band as a whole, them as my friends, our time together, and the fears that come with it all (with the exception of SEVENYEARS, which is the last thing I wrote in my pre-California life),” Anthony says. "Saosin... it was our singer's idea. Saosin, it's this Chinese proverb, which means... like... keep your heart small, because nothing is forever. You know. Don't let yourself get attached to something, because that thing's gonna be gone eventually."

KISS............

Kiss is an American rock band formed in New York City in 1973. Easily identified by their trademark face paint and stage outfits, the group rose to prominence in the mid-1970s on the basis of their elaborate live performances, which featured firebreathing, blood spitting, smoking guitars, and pyrotechnics. Kiss has been awarded 45 gold albums to date. ^[1][2] The group's worldwide sales exceed 80 million albums.^[3][4]

The original lineup of Gene Simmons (bass and vocals), Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar and vocals), Ace Frehley (lead guitar and vocals) and Peter Criss (drums and vocals) is the most successful and identifiable. With their makeup and costumes, they took on the personas of comic book-style characters—the Demon (Simmons), the Star Child (Stanley), the Space Ace (Frehley), and the Cat Man (Criss). Due to substance abuse problems and creative differences, both Criss and Frehley were out of the group by 1982. The band's commercial fortunes had also waned considerably by that point.

In 1983, Kiss abandoned their makeup and enjoyed a commercial resurgence throughout the rest of the decade. Buoyed by a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the 1990s, the band announced a reunion of the original lineup (with makeup) in 1996. The resulting Kiss Alive/Worldwide Tour was the top-grossing act of 1996. Criss and Frehley have since left Kiss again, and have been replaced by Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer, respectively. The band continues to perform, while Stanley and Simmons have remained the only two constant members.

FOO FIGHTER

Foo Fighters are a rock group formed by musician Dave Grohl in 1995. ^[1] The group is named after the World War II term "foo fighter", used to refer to mysterious aerial phenomena.^[2]

The band has earned a worldwide following, and have scored a number of hit songs, including "This Is a Call", "Everlong", "Learn to Fly", "All My Life", "Times Like These", "Best of You", and "DOA". Two of their albums, There Is Nothing Left to Lose and One by One, won Grammy AwardsBest Rock Album. On top of their five studio albums, they have also contributed to several movie soundtracks, including the song "The One" on the 2002 Orange County soundtrack. for

JET

"Are You Gona Be My Girl?" became a radio favorite worldwide, pushing sales for Get Born near the four million mark. Jet also received seven ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) nominations, and won six of those including single and album of the year. European dates with Oasis followed in summer 2005; Shine On, the band's second effort produced by Dave Sardy, arrived in fall 2006. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Jet is a rock band from Melbourne, Australia, whose début album Get Born, released in 2003, has so far sold over 3.5 million copies throughout the world.

GOD SAVE The SEX PisToL

P*#@K generation

Rancid is a punk rock band formed in 1991 in Berkeley, California, by Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong.
Rancid includes Armstrong on guitar and vocals, Freeman on bass and vocals, Branden Steineckert on drums, and Lars Frederiksen on guitar and vocals. Former drummer Brett Reed left the band in 2006 and was replaced by Branden Steineckert, former drummer of The Used. As of November 2006, Armstrong and Freeman have been permanent members of the band and Frederiksen did not join Rancid until 1993 after the band was searching for a second guitar player.
They are credited, along with fellow California punk bands The Offspring and Green Day, with reviving mainstream popular interest in punk rock in the United States during the mid 1990s.[1][2]
Rancid's style often draws comparison with The Clash in their albums ...And Out Come the Wolves and Life Won't Wait, the latter of which is sometimes referred to as "Rancid's Sandinista!". This influence is further emphasized by direct homages to the seminal punk rock group in the lyrics to several of Rancid's songs, such as the title track to Indestructible.
Among mainstream audiences, Rancid is best-known for the songs "Ruby Soho" and "Time Bomb" from the 1995 album ...And Out Come the Wolves, as well as "Fall Back Down" from their 2003 album Indestructible. As of 2007, Rancid was working on a studio album, due to be released in spring.[3]

SUM $!

Cone) (bass and backing vocals), {( Mitchell Evans)} (a.k.a Mitchster) (Template:Lead guitar) and Steve Jocz (a.k.a. Stevo32 and now it is just Stevo) (drums and backing vocals). The band was first formed when Deryck and Steve decided to put aside their differences as rival bands to form a new band.

As of 2006 the band performed more than 600 times and have become famous for their world tours that are usually more than a year-long. [1]

NIRVANA go to heaven

one legend grunge music

Nirvana was a popular rock band from Aberdeen, Washington, United States. With the lead single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from their 1991 album Nevermind, Nirvana exploded into the mainstream, bringing along with it a subgenre of alternative rock called grunge. Other Seattle grunge bands such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden also gained in popularity, and, as a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on radio and music television in the United States during the early-to-middle 1990s.
As Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the "spokesman of a generation", with Nirvana the "flagship band" of "Generation X".[1] Cobain was uncomfortable with the attention and placed his focus on the band's music, challenging the band's audience with their third studio album In Utero. While Nirvana's mainstream popularity waned in the months following its release, their core audience cherished the band's dark interior, particularly after their 1993 performance on MTV Unplugged.
Nirvana's brief run ended with the death of Cobain in 1994, but the band's popularity expanded in the years that followed. Eight years after Cobain's death, "You Know You're Right", an unfinished demo that the band recorded two months prior to Cobain's death, topped radio playlists around the world. Since their debut, the band has sold more than sixty million albums worldwide (see also Best selling music artists), including more than ten million copies of Nevermind in the US alone.[2] Nirvana remains a consistent presence on radio stations worldwide.

THE CURE

The Cure are a successful English rock band, widely seen as one of the leading pioneers of the British alternative rock scene of the 1980s. A combination of lead singer Robert Smith's iconic wild hair, pale complexion, smudged lipstick, and the frequently gloomy and introspective lyrics have led to the band being primarily classified as gothic rock.
