[Brazil]

So do the athletes have access to booze or did they get hammered before hand?

Both.

 

[Zekes!]

someone tell me if they play Anarchy in the UK

 

[Miles X]

Bane coming in towards the end and sets off fireworks all over London. Would actually be a fucking awesome idea. :lol

Tom Hardy is British, so why not?

 

[MrPing1000]

Whatever is wrong with Bowie it must be pretty serious if he can't come out of his cave for this.

 

[neptunes]

I can't believe they didn't get Karl p. to be a part of this

 

[The_Hitcher89]

This just has the feel of a bunch of A-level Media Studies students designing it with input from Simon Cowell and his cronies

 

[Joel Was Right]

Some of this suggests the organisers really struggled to come up with much

 

[twobear]

I hope she plays Sweet Dreams too tho

 

[smallios74]

All the people using their flashes..........do they not realize the flash will do nothing from where they are sitting and with the lighting in the stadium? lol

That just incase an artist messes up and they can do a restart.

 

[Withnail]

Next up: Rick Astley.

Why is the sound so bad?

 

[Zaph]

FAO: People complaining about bad sound.

The sound on the 'no commentary' stream is fucked. Turn over to the normal stream - don't worry, there isn't much commentary at all.

 

[danwarb]

The Bowie bit was lame. Like a cheap ad for a greatest hits collection.


Still sounds off on TV.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Whatever is wrong with Bowie it must be pretty serious if he can't come out of his cave for this.

Maybe he just said no, the Rolling Stones did.

 

[Carbonox]

Tom Hardy is British, so why not?

Exactly, we need some more actors in this ceremony!

 

[Psychotext]

All the people using their flashes..........do they not realize the flash will do nothing from where they are sitting and with the lighting in the stadium? lol

People be idiots... this is nothing new.

 

[nny]

Tom Hardy is British, so why not?

And Batman already made an appearance...

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

I can't believe they didn't get Karl p. to be a part of this

We have Boris if we want to show how stupid some of our nation is.


edit: who is this little shit that has been given Wish You Were Here?

 

[StealthGoblin]

annie lennox? really? nobody else was available?

You mean national treasure Annie Lennox?

She could be bothered to show up, Bowie couldn't.

 

[Magnus]

This is awesome. But she's definitely lip synching....right?

 

[Elfforkusu]

Tom Hardy is British, so why not?

Tom Hardy and Christian Bale drop in by helicopter and reprise their final fight scene from Rises.

 

[soepje]

Who is this annie lennox? Could someone post some link to her greatest hits?

 

[rodvik]

someone tell me if they play Anarchy in the UK

If they did that would be awesome. Or "God Save the Queen" its as much a British classic as any of this other stuff.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

[Tesseract]

[IdreamofHIME]

Aren't Hobbits from New Zealand?

 

[Dr.Acula]

Annie Lennox and George Michael were forced to do this show after Sting called the council when the two of them tried to fly tip an old fridge freezer into Stewart Copeland's skip.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Maybe he just said no, the Rolling Stones did.

Why did the Stones say no? Normally they're all over things like this?

 

[twobear]

Ugh fucking Ed Sheeran.

 

[mclem]

Yay, Wish You Were Here, but... Well, there's Nick Mason.

 

[maniac-kun]

At least a great song now.

 

[Tugatrix]

Oh god no, ed sheeran singing pink floyd...

 

[Nekki]

Why are other artists playing my Wish you were here??? Guess i'll take it tho.

 

[LanceVance]

Ed Sheehan reminds me of my ex <_<

 

[Willkiller]

Bet this wanker used to take his acoustic to house parties and play Wonderwall. I bet he was that guy.

 

[Tea and Toast]

Why am I not getting the red button on BBC HD?

 

[Subliminal]

Ugh, I fucking hate this guy. What a jeremy hunt.

 

[danwarb]

Time for a break, Ed.

 

[painey]
