I'd love to be there when Chuck D learns how Africa/非洲 literally translates into english. Excited for the show, I was a little bitter when Fat Mike skipped Shanghai during NOFX's Asia tour, but I guess Beijing really trumps Shanghai as far as legit fans are concerned. Feels like Asia is fast becoming the pasture where burntout rockstars go to graze. "Can't book a Vegas show? Come to Shanghai!!"

The beats and the rhymes are too dope for the CCP, you can bet ****t the po*** will be "unacceptable". I wonder if "911 is a joke" will be reversed to "119". VH1 has actually done a good job at embracing non-orange county white teen culture vs MTV. What would be a great jam would be for PE and NIN to come out for the finally and jam *i*** *** *o*** as a hard rock/rap duo then have the authorities shut the power on them. THAT would instill the true nature of rap and rock. No 50 year olds, please. Too old, ugly, fat, hairy and crude. This is a mini-vacation, not everyday life in China. nanheyangrouchuan

I wonder how many 50 year old foreigners will be at this concert.

It's so sad to see Flava Flav out there shucking and jiving for the man (the man in this case being VH1). He's become such a characature. Dan - Night of the Living Baseheads is great and everything, but it's no Rebel Without Pause.

How did Flav ever fool Chuck D? He's the biggest basehead of them all....
