Now THAT would be something to see. ;D

but seriously, what was this chump doing there anyway?  Did his tour bus make a wrong tunr on the way to Shaboigan(sp?). :D

I cannot beleive he would even consider himself worthy of standing on the same stage as the other performers at the concert.

I thought that too. Then I remembered I read somewhere that the Rolling Stones are so cool, they're one of the few groups out there who do not think themselves better than anyone. Goodness knows if any group has any right to possibly think that, it's them.

Thus, Justin Timberlake's sense of worth has little or nothing to do with this fiasco. Mick Jagger encouraged the whole thing. Maybe he wanted to lend a helping hand to a fellow singer? Perhaps he attempted to reach out to the young 'uns with what he considered to be the top teeny-bopper idol? Maybe Mick sees a young version of himself in him?  ???

Well I can't say I agree with this. Someone might have hit one of the Stones! In other developments, Fred Durst suffered the same fate during his band's tour with Metallica last week. I fell about laughing when I heard that!

The Fred Durst thing was even better than the Justin thing.  All Justin Timberlake did was make horrible music.  Fred Durst, by comparison, made himself look like a complete a-hole for thirty minutes and got exactly what he deserved.

Quoting:Appearantly his teenybopper crowd didnt care to follow him around (hell most of his fans have probably have no idea who the Stones, Rush, Guess Who or AC/DC are).  Hopefully this is all the beginning of a huge pop backlash Ive been waiting for a long time.  Its a nice literal slap in the face to all the Justins, Christinas and Britneys that proves lots of people cant stand them.  Maybe this incident will prove once and all to the corporate suits that people still love their rock n' roll.

Amen to that!

I read this article and literally laughed to myself.  I too saw it as a slap in the face of modern pop music.  It was a statement that was long overdue. ;)

it was cool that they pelted him with garbage, but the biggest insult would be if people just ignored him, got up and left.

I would rather be ignored than having water bottles thrown at me.

the people weren't there to see Justin Timberlake, they were there for real rock n roll.

That true.

I would be very ticked if I went to a ROCk concert expecting to see Rolling Stones, Rush, and the others mentioned, and suddenly this chump Justin Timberlake comes out and starts singing his little teeny bop garbage.

Perhaps the garbage people were throwing was a signal to him that his music...is garbage? :)

So what if you don't like the guy's music then leave. To throw water bottles at somebody is just bone-headed. The event was for charity. Imagine if you had water bottles thrown at you. Would you like it? Probably not.

That's right.

If he was good enough to be backed-up and presented by The Stones, he's good enough for those people to have:

1) Showed him human decency
2) Ignored him
3) Walked out on him

Throwing things was uncivilized.

If you don't like an artist's music, it should not translate into anything personal. These artists's are people too.

You don't leave after you've paid a lot of money for a concert.
