A benefit gig is being staged at Highclere Castle on 20 May by The Countryside Alliance. Among the old rockers showing their faces (as well as their ages) are Eric Clapton, Bryan Ferry, Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Mike Rutherford:biff:


:grumble: Because some people just don't know when to stop - whether it's squeezing into tight trousers, or decimating wildlife - we've hit back. In our new viral video, Charlie and the Spent Cartridges' 'Hunt Generation' - a spoof on The Who's My Generation - mocks the Countryside Alliance's forthcoming 'Highclere Rocks' event.

Watch the video (http://www.animalaid.org.uk/pheasants/huntgen.htm):rock:

This list of blokes - Eric Clapton & Bryan Ferry...these two names don't surprise me at all sadly, but Roger Waters :no: , Nick Mason :no: and Mike Rutherford :no: - I really thought they had more about them. :shock:

That is sad, I didn't know they were such wankers. I guess they'll prostitute themselves to any cause to keep their careers alive. :mad:

I love that video! :laugh:I am not surprised about Roger Waters doing this after all that fuss that went on when Pink Floyd broke up. He ought to give that "Money" song of his a good listen.

I love your title, too, Rainbow. This is a serious subject, but I can stop laughing. :rofl:

That's one crazy video. I like the song. When is it in the shops?

Who are those people? I've only heard of Clap and Ferry.

Roger Waters and Nick Mason are from Pink Floyd, and Mike Rutherford is from Genesis, and Mike and the Mechanics.

Hence the title.

I'm a Bert Weedon guitar fan myself.

He's not pro-hunting, is he?

No idea. Unlikely. He taught thousands to play the guitar with his videos.

I'm suprised Roger Daltry the fish farmer isn't there tho...

Trouble is I love Floyd and quite like Roxy, speaking of which I wonder if it's a certain BryanF's son who's got them all in alliance. :rolleyes:

I should say the original thread post is a quote from Animal Aid apart from the text which isn't in red. (I've nowt against most aging rockers - considering the majority of modern music, Moz excluded).
