The Rolling Stones have denied a Fox News web report that they will play the Live Earth show in Britain on July 7. "Not happening," a spokesman for the band said in an email.
Fox News columnist Roger Friedman reported on Tuesday that the Stones would headline the show at London's Wembley Stadium.
Such an appearance would have necessitated postponing the band's previously announced show for Rome on July 6, as it no longer plays consecutive nights.
Dude, it was called A Bigger Bang and it didn't come out will 2005.
Anyway, good for The Stones.
dude youre a stones nerd for knowing that!
thank god. The Stones dont need to be in all of Al Gores crap.
Being pro-environment doesn't mean you're in on Al Gore's crap; being against it is just being stupid. Being a political band is annoying. Rock N Roll bands are musicians.
I want to hear them play not talk about politics and government. Democrats rule, Republicans are brain dead.!
! I personally like politics in music. I think it's F***in Great dude!
! Keith should stand up for his politics and quit worrying about how much money he can make from fans by playing both sides. I have a ton of respect for bands like, Springsteen, Pearl Jam, REM, Dixie Chicks, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
They are not worried about how many fans they please or how much money they might lose by speaking their political opinion. They have balls!!
Bring the F***in troops home NOW!!!

Actually I think they're taking more of a stand by staying out of the political arena. Many people have stuck their foot in their mouth by saying something that was quite politically incorrect.
People go to school to be in politics for a reason.
It's tough stuff. And musicians write and play music. Sure, us musicians should have a voice and opinion, but have a say in politics?
Not a chance, that's why we vote. That's like having a circus clown try to do surgery. He wouldn't know jack about anything once he got in there.
Same thing with musicians. Ya can't mix the two.
On the side note with the stones, I commend them for staying out of everything.
Democrats rule, Republicans are brain dead.!!

Personally, I'm not a puppet or marionette for either side, but I have to say, guitar67 is as bad as the extremists on the right.
Oh, and although I may be a little unhappy with our direction in Iraq, I can also clearly see that by pulling out, the insurgents will win. This can't happen and I suspect greater minds than either of ours will ensure that it doesn't.
Keith Richards is awesome.
As a rhythm guitarist, he is so damned good and influential. And as a dude who doesn't want to to insult half of his fans with his irrelevent political thoughts, I really respect him for that. He understands that these fans have dug him and his music for decades, do you really think he is going to rip them apart?
I wouldn't be surprised if Keef didn't give a rats's ass about the corrupt politicians on either side of he aisle. Life is too short and he isn't going to waste it by joining some socialist group bent on changing the world.
Mick on the other hand.
..
lol Mick on the other hand.
.. thats funny.
Keith is so much cooler then Mick. Politics isn't tough stuff. Politics is your fu**in opinion, duty, and obligation as an American.
I'd rather you be totally against what my opinion is, then not have one at all. I don't agree with Ted Nugents politics, but I like him as a musician. And I love the Stones.
Man, the war in Iraq will be going on for 100 to 1000 years or longer, there is nothing we can do for these people. Why haven't they worked on their differences 100 years ago or 500 years ago? To me, Iraq is on another galaxy, let it go.
We did what we could. America is not God!!
Give me health insurance,
Fix the slums of our inner cities. Sunnis, Shiites or shit, I don't give a damn any more. Bring em' Home!
Bring em' Home!
